Neither, because you don’t turn into a vampire by being bitten by one (otherwise the vampire population with increase exponentially until everyone on earth is a vampire), and to become a zombie the zombie bites you.

But I’m pretty sure this is one of those posts that are deliberately incorrect to drum up engagement.

Mate, if you’ve got something to say, say it. This is a forum where you are allowed to say what your view is with no consequence. Vague-posting summer obscure point isn’t helping anyone understand what you’re on about.

Just because the country exists because they are “bad guys” doesn’t meant it’s not a country. Otherwise most countries that were established by violence wouldn’t be a real country. That would mean I don’t live in a real country despite the fact I can get a legal passport where I live.

I’ve never heard of that, and I’m not sure I believe it. For a few reasons: 1, Pierce Brosnan did lend his likeness to a bunch of PS1 Bond games, 2, if they used a look alike and presented it as Brosnan it would still be Brosnan’s likeness. 3, they probably had his likeness as part of a greater contract whether or not he personally turned up for the production of said games.

Crispin Glover sued when they used prosthetics on an actor to look like him in the back to the future sequel that he wasn’t hired for. Just because they don’t use your face doesn’t mean it’s not unauthorised use of your likeness.

In one or more of the Buffy games, Sarah Michelle Gellar didn’t turn up to help make the game but she still would’ve received royalties for her likeness.

Are you going to explain that? Or is there some subtext we are supposed to understand?

The number itself won’t matter, but you’ll see it increment in real time if they lie

Israel isn’t a country?

In Michael Crichton’s Timeline, they send people back in time hundreds of years until they push a button to return, except they don’t. The time travel has something to do with alternate timelines, so in theory there could be countless versions of them travelling back and forth in alternate universes or alternate realities or however you want to think of it.

The invention of time travel in our universe only got as far as figuring out how to send people back, but they never figured out how to return them to the present. Coincidentally a virtually identical alternate universe figured it out but they get sent to our universe on the way back to the present.

So every time we send someone back, we essentially kill them and in return we receive an alternate version of them that’s so close to identical it’s virtually the same as the original person. And for every person we get back, another universe loses that person forever. The organisation doing the time travel secretly know this is happening, but it works and it’s cheaper then finishing the invention of time travel.

Because it looks cool

You’re allowed to be sick more days, they just won’t pay you for it.

Movie licensing is legally different to running a game platform. Are there any examples of games being removed from people’s libraries?

No. I have a fat that was after backwards compatibility. I haven’t tested it yet, but the PS2 games are done with homebrew emulation.

Look, I recently jail broke my PS3, now I can put any digital game from PS1,PS2, PS3 or PSP. I can also rip my discs to the hard drive. Discs for games are irrelevant for me. I prefer digital games on any platform these days, and of the service providers device to remove my ownership I will take that as a sign that I can procure them through other methods.

I’m going to fight this by purchasing digital games on steam. That’ll show 'em.

But seriously, this isn’t an attack from Sony, it’s a reaction. People are trending towards digital purchases on all platforms. If the PlayStation is irrelevant without physical games then they will die by their own sword. Prior to this plenty of people were denigrating consoles as overpriced locked down computers anyway, this hardly makes a difference.

I have no idea what your sofa analogy is trying to say.

My friends and I made fun of ff7s terrible graphics when it came out, but the game was so good the bad graphics didn’t matter. Ff16 looked amazing, but the game is so boring it doesn’t matter.

People don’t want bleeding edge from final fantasy, they want a good game.

There was a stretch in the late 90s where squaresoft released a final fantasy nearly every year for 5 years. Now it’s once every 7+ years. I don’t believe it should be that hard to make games these days. There are more people working on the projects, more tools and pre-made engines/libraries available. It’s purely a management/budgeting problem.

Something tells me they’d have the same opinion any other wait staff seems to have: they prefer tipping because they can earn a lot of money for unskilled labour with tips. It’s the reason some people make a whole career being a server.

But in those places you’d still be considered an asshole for not tipping, right?

I remember when I spent time in the US, tipping was the absolute worst part of the experience.

If I was with a big group going to a restaurant we would have a server constantly checking in with us, chatting and telling stories, getting us deals and freebies. When I would go out alone I would get ignored. If I dressed down I would be treated worse than if I was dressed up. One time I even waited an hour for a table before walking out as larger groups got seated ahead of me. How people are treated is based on how much money they think you’ll hand over.

Everything about tipping is greed and it’s gross.

All restaurants in the US require tipping. You’ll have to boycott all of them, and that won’t send a message about tipping. You would need the majority of people to still go to restaurants and not tip to send the message and that’s never going to happen because people have been brainwashed to think their value as a human being requires generous tipping. Comments like “if you don’t tip you’re an asshole” means the system is working as intended and will never change.
