heres a hint: it doesnt

it does amaze me that such a left leaning forum is still so uptight about piracy tho

although this is the forum where people will regularly buy every single version of a game for every system so i shouldnt be surprised

Piracy doesn't = theft but you still shouldn't do it if you can actually afford the game

i think it's difficult to compare price points between consoles and pcs because while you're paying more up front the hardware you're paying for is generally better and will therefore make up for it in terms of lifetime usability, and once built can be upgraded piecemeal over time instead having to be built from scratch. plus you're not rebuying stuff like harddrives, monitors, and new ports of old games every time you build a new computer

if we assume an infinite period time then every game will eventually be on pc because emulators get better and games get ported. just wait for the pc singularity

Well at least for me personally there was a huge drop in interest as I grew up and programs changed.

I mean I'll be honest, the channel I watched the most as a kid was Animal Planet. I would watch documentaries and similar programs on that channel all the time because i loved learning new things about animals. But as reality TV shows became more prevalent on other networks, Animal Planet stopped showing that stuff. Nowadays almost almost all their shows are just following the daily lives of humans with some extremely tenuous connection to animals. The more I started to see stuff like that the less I watched.

Maybe there are some other channels out there that would suit my desires, but I can just find all that stuff on the internet now so why bother looking.

Oooh, I get where you're coming from now. That does really suck, yeah :(

The other choice is pretty great too though.

I had to stew on EP8 for a good while (a lot of people seemed somewhat disappointed at it upon release), but I've really come to appreciate/understand it as time has gone on. Essentially coming to terms with what the story/mystery was truly trying to get after in terms of character arcs and its overall meta nature.

I'm subhuman filth irl, a leech, a bottomfeeder, a parasite. I just want people above me to be good to each other/be good by each other cause the world is rough and tough and sometimes when a person has had enough I want them to know that someone out there wants them to keep on truckin, that there's someone out there who believes in them. I've been described as a sponge. I do well with soaking up the bad vibes from people so that they can focus on more important things.

I am only semi good with names/pictures but I think you are the goon who will care about this:

They just announced an expansion for Shadow of War which includes a lady elf assassin archer who will become an unlockable skin for the main game. So come Feb 2018, your strict ‘can I play as a girl with a bow’ criteria will be met in SoW.
