Sucks that Bethesda won't give you that authentic Wolfenstein experience thanks to German laws. Swastikas are turned into triangles and.. other revisions are made to Nazi icons that might be a spoiler they shave Hitler's mustache

I got the regular version, not the Germanized one. Haven't installed it via VPN yet, because my system SSD is crammed save for like 22 GB or so, and my 500 GB dedicated Games SSD isn't getting here until Wednesday.

That Hitlerstache workaround to bypass German law is loving hilarious, though.

/edit:
I contemplated just going down a naughty road to get the game and not have to go through a VPN, but I hear the game's dope and I'll happily throw a company some freedom rubles for enabling me to shoot Nazis, as god intended.

My landlord decided that since some of the tenants in this shared house are late on rent that he was going to shut off the internet until they paid up. Since some of us are current, we bitched up a storm and he then apparently device-banned most of the house instead.

So I just taught the entire house how to change a MAC address for their network adapters, so now we all have internet again.




No one else in the house even knew what the gently caress a MAC address was, so I guess those years of loving with lovely pirated Windows installs and lovely public network adapters paid off.

pretty sure shutting off utilities for being late on rent isn't legal

i mean, the electric company turning off your power is one thing, not the landlord deciding to do it

Depends on the state. Arkansas, landlords can do drat near anything they want, compared to most places.

It's not so much shutting off utilities (internet isn't technically a utility in most places), rather, more comparable to taking away an amenity, like pool or gym access. If the landlord is paying for the internet access, then it's his right to revoke use for nonpayment. They can always call comcast or centurylink or whoever and get their own service, he's not depriving them of that.

Yeah that was basically my argument. Dude's let a lot of poo poo slide for us before but he's still a fuckin' landlord, and they're all scumbuckets one way or another.

Ain't worth the headache to fight it yet.

Ugh. Illinois laws are ridiculous as gently caress. But if internet is viewed as a utility there (maybe), you might have something to go on.

My uncle rents out a house in buttfuck farm country to a teacher in the local school whose board he sits on. He knows they can't pay the teacher enough and the house is stuck in hand until someone dies. Small town folk and all being nice, he doesn't care to make a penny on it as long as the rent covers the taxes and they fill the propane tank.

Not all landlords are awful, but plenty are. And there are lots of videos on youtube of what seemingly decent tenants do to properties. I bitch about my apartment being poo poo all the time, but when you see what bullshit people will try to get away with and how often the complex is left holding its' rear end, well, I understand, to an extent. If you're the reason a clause in a lease exists, you're probably the problem.

We use ours all the time, they're pretty good. Usually it gets used to turn frozen chicken into shredded chicken, and that takes about 20 minutes(30 if the chicken is one big frozen block). Rice uses half as much water, and beans are cooked way faster too.
