HR was glad to use the protests as an excuse for the firing. They needed a good sounding reason since all of these writers were going to be replaced by AI anyway.

I've known about EmuVR for a long time now. I absolutely love the idea. I don't have VR yet, and I don't want to spoil it for myself by playing without VR. Right now I'm torn between waiting for Valve's "Deckard", buying the Valve Index, or buying the Quest 3. I have an RTX 4090, so I know my computer is more than capable.

I can probably count on one hand how many things I'm excited to do in VR, and EmuVR is one of them.

That's not true. The original DNS request, for youtube.com, may not have been encrypted, but any URL parameters afterwards are kept encrypted. As long as HTTPS is used, if hypothetically Google wasn't going to give it to them, "the government," or your ISP for that matter, can tell you're watching YouTube, but can't tell which video you're watching.

At home I always sit. I don't care how well endowed you are or how well you can aim, there's always a bit of splash that I don't want to deal with. In most people's homes I'll have the same decency to sit. Nobody wants to sit where someone's pee has been, or clean that off the floor, etc. At work I'll usually sit too, let's be honest I'm probably going to scroll on my phone for a minute or two while I'm at it.

I rarely go to the bathroom in public, I'll usually wait until I get home. For the few exceptions, I'll almost always stand. Because some of those toilet seats, especially in men's bathrooms, can be nasty.

Pokémon. You get to choose from Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle for your starter. And everyone you know will judge you for which starter you picked.

Circumcision is a human rights violation.

That entirely depends on the game. Some games, like Terraria, can connect to the same servers regardless of whether it was bough on Steam or GOG. Others could rely on Steam's API for matchmaking and online play on the Steam version, and will likely be incompatible with GOG versions. And then there are games that may not be designed for online play, but still can be played online using methods like Steam Remote Play.

Sounds more like Dungeons and Cops.

My personal favorite is Debian. I'm the IT director at my job, and 90% of our machines, including end user workstations, are running some form of Linux.

One really nice thing is that most stuff is saved somewhere in your home directory. You can switch between all sorts of distros, and if you install the same software, browser, email client, etc. most of your stuff will automatically be there and work out of the box.

I fail to see your point? Right now a dev can sell their game as digital-only, forego a bunch of distribution costs and other costs associated with a physical release, and prevent lost game sales from resales. If this was to actually happen, they could no longer prevent those lost sales.

As a gamer, there's no longer any reason to "pay" for games. You can just borrow them. Buy them used, and turn around and sell them when you're done.

Not if you don't have the ability to resell it, it doesn't.
