And it needs to be Tim Russ again.

A lot of his later movies were just repeated jokes from his older ones. Men in Tights reused a bunch of old gags, including the title song, which was “Jews in Space” from the epiloge of History of the World Part 1.

They actually did that as a Hulu series a few years ago.

I think my account was banned, but don’t know for sure. I left during the API bullshit.

Definitely didn’t do anything against the rules.

If you write enough laws in a manner that makes it easy to violate them accidentally, then anyone can be prosecuted at any time and civil liberties can be removed via technicalities.

Most police departments also don’t generally have helicopters and paint bombs.

The real world isn’t GTA where you get a 5-star rating and suddenly all the cops can instantly appear with missile launchers and shit.

I work for a small city in the same building as the police department. And yeah, they have AR-15s and body armor now, but grenades and helicopters are a different story. They’d have to get the closest major city, or more likely the National Guard to deliver that kind of firepower.

And it’s not that the police didn’t try whatbthey could in this case. They jumped on top of the machine, and even dropped a flashbang (which SWAT teams do have) into the stovepipe to try and disable it.

The governor reportedly considered sending in the national guard with an attack chopper, but a hellfire missile does a lot of damage and theocal decision to try and block his escape from the hardware store with a different dozer worked. He wasn’t able to back out after ramming the shop, and was forced to try and drive through, getting stuck in the process.

The 196 community has an (unenforced) rule that you must post every time you visit, so they’re posts that are following the rule.

Grenades aren’t exactly standard issue police equipment.

Sony doesn’t want to come out and say “Best Buy can get fucked” because Best Buy still sells headphones, TVs, and other products Sony makes, including the Playstation itself. They need the retailers to sell their products.

But with digital goods, they can cut out the retailers retailers. The $10 bucks or whatever the retialer would get now goes to Sony.

Not even his daughter. He’s the PM and he does it to get a princess released.

And it turns out she’s released before he even does it.

You have to specifically asknfor it in the US, and they act like it’s a crazy request. And they usually won’t give you your PD.

I mean - how many of us are here because we got spiteful and petty over reddit API shit?

That’s the point. It’s not about the disc. It’s about cutting out retailers.

Games sell at the same price or cheaper at the retailer as they do digitally, and the retailer takes a cut. Games sold through PSN or the Xbox store make Sony and Microsoft way more money.

And that’s before we get to used sales.

The old Mechwarrior games were more like simulators than modern mech games, so were pretty complicated to get into.

And they were very demanding performance-wise.

There’s scraping data, which should be considered stealing, and then there’s asking people to steal company data as part of an interview process.

This is actual industrial espionage. If true, it could be a big deal.

Yeah, but they also own the $50 frames.

It’s harder for people who go to the optometrist and get their glasses.

The Luxoticca-owned insurance company makes them use the Luxoticca-owned optometrist that sells Luxoticca-owned frames with Luxoticca-owned lenses.

Moat people don’t even know you can ask the optometrist for your prescription so you can go buy frames and lenses from Zenni or Coastal.

They had a bunch of great titles.

Age of Empires, Freelancer, Mechwarrior, and more.

Some of the studios were bought through acquisitions, but they received the backing and support they needed to make great titles in a way that was good for the games, the devs, Microsoft, and the gamers.

Lemming

The shitty thing is it’s hard not to give the fuckers money.

Luxoticca owns most eyewear brands, optometrist offices, eyewear retailers, and even a ton of optical insurance providers. They control the frames, lenses, and more.

Oakley used to be independent, but they actually stopped lenscrafters from providing lenses for them and bullied their suppliers until Oakley’s stock dropped enough to buy them out. They’re the reason frames that should cost $15 cost $900.

They’re one of the clearest examples of a monopoly in the world, but we just fucking let it continue.
