What kind of resources does this guy have? I don't think governments can even do proportional and instantaneous DDOS responses. I messed with the wrong dude.
They're gonna block mod tools, just wait.
You realize the average video gamer is like 40 right?
He completed his transformation and became one with the desert in the form of a new type of semi-sentient cactus.
They are implying that when faced with the choice of paying €30 for a couple of pints or smoking free weed that many will choose the latter which will impact alcohol sales in bars to a significant degree.
I don't know who those commercials are even for. It's not like you can walk into a pharmacy and get whatever you want. A doctor still has to prescribe it to you and hopefully they're not letting patients decide what to prescribe.
I have no idea where that data comes from and that's exactly the point I'm making. It doesn't match my personal experience at all.
I build the infrastructure that these data centers need to connect to the internet. Our projected power consumption is at least tripling from last year which was itself double the year before, and that's only the power draw for the fiber optic infrastructure connecting these data centers together. They're also building a ridiculous amount of computing power in those data centers which is another massive increase in power consumption.
There are some kind-of green efforts in progress to mitigate a bit of the environmental impacts of that increase in demand but most of what I have seen personally is just more draw from the local utility company. I have serious doubts about any data that indicates that tripling power consumption is not a major environmental problem.
OK, maybe not anything
Maybe in a theoretical sense. In a practical, everyday sense not so much.
You say that as if it removes the possibility but I don't think I need to provide specific examples of obviously foolish decisions ruining modern games. There are plenty to choose from.
