I’d hope so, it’s a 20 year old game with a new coat of paint slapped on it.

I flew in 2024 most recently and had no such requirement. I wonder why the differing experience.

Have you been to China? They do none of this shit. They don’t gaf about your phone.

Because he’s lying. I travel to China regularly and they don’t give a fuck about my phone. Not once have they done more than just glance at my passport, glance at me, and stamp it and send me on my way.

No they don’t. Customs in China is like 2 seconds of them glancing at your passport, looking at you, and stamping it. Literally the fastest I’ve ever got through an airport is in China, both arriving and leaving.

Some games, some are on cart too. Switch 1 is actually probably the best because just about every game is fully playable unlike ps and Xbox which require patches often to run alright. Switch 2 I hear cyberpunk is fully on the cart, but I doubt many publishers are willing to pay for the bigger carts, so we’ll probably see a lot of third parties be just the key, which is ridiculous.

It’s great, I can lend my friend the games he doesn’t have, and I can do the same with his games. In this way, we can play many more games than we have the money for. Especially useful since we’re in the US, and internet infrastructure is still poor here, his only option is satellite, which takes far too long to download anything.

Same, and now this is the second mention of it I’ve seen on lemmy in two weeks. I got it for like $5 in a combo pack with a terrible mech game in the bargain bin in Walmart probably 20+ years ago. Never beat it, but the vibes are top notch and I replay it every few years. Still have the disks and all.

There’s these things called consoles, that let you put a disk in, they both contains the game and a license to play it. Though these days some games just sell an empty box with a code to download the game.

Israel is recognized for using imprisonment as a form of hostage taking, holding thousands of Palestinians with no charges or trial for up to months at a time, as young as 8 years old. This is more of the same behavior for them. They were not in Israel until dragged there at gunpoint, they were in international waters, btw.

Hades IIs character is a girl, and it’s very fun.

I’d rather have a one party state under a communist party than a two party state under two capitalist parties. In both cases it’s immediately obvious who these parties serve, in China, it’s the people and society, in the U.S., it’s the billionaires and capitalist class.

They’re already in a union, this is China. All companies over a certain size are unionized by law.

I got Septerra Core in a dual pack with some mech game I never really liked for like $3 at Wal Mart probably 20 years ago, and instantly fell in love. I’ve never beaten it, but it holds a very special place in my heart. The art, the story, the lore, the world, are all very memorable and you’re the first person I’ve ever heard mention it.

People don’t see homes as a place to live, they don’t consider community, family, proximity to work as important. Homes are “investments” and being priced out of your home is “good” because you can “sell it and move somewhere cheaper”. The dominant ideas of any era are the ideas of the ruling class.

That you can own the building, but the property is on a 75 year lease that can be extended two times for under a hundred dollars for a total of 225 years of that home being in your family for less than the cost of a single years property tax anywhere in the US?

Your federal taxes could go towards local governments if we prioritized it. There’s a choice made, and that choice forces cities to adopt as many taxes as they can get away with in order to fund themselves.

In China 70% of the population pays no income tax, a very small sales tax, and there’s no property taxes at all. Who you tax is just as important as how much you tax. It is not necessary to tax everyone in a society to maintain a modern civilization.

It did at one point, but I think they were forced to change it to Prey at some point in development. It had a “Shock” title to put it in line with System Shock and Bioshock.

No way, it’s only 10 hours? Eternal was longer than that, and so was 2016!
