I started reading and though this was someone who had lost their marbles, by target 2 I was hooked.

And next to his original, fully erect penis, was another one. Identical. Bio-engineered, apparently. He struck a pose.

Poetry.

Sure, sure, “evaporate”. Your secrets safe with us :D

Stored correctly it may not be, but a little rat urine can spoil anything :)

1. Pump, pump, PUMP!

2. ???

Buy up plebs, someone’s gonna get rich at step 2.

It’s why shareholders (ultra wealthy people) are the enemy of art and why publicly traded studios all go to shit after enough time.

No arguments there…

Your probably right, but gaming company’s do plenty of other risky stuff, like Concord etc. Would have been nice if they had at least tried to make a sims along the way.

The games industry is more than happy to throw away billions churning out copy-cat games, that compete in incredibly crowded genres, so it would have been nice if they had at least tried to compete in the one genre with only a single competitor. Its kinda funny that TS4s biggest competitor is TS3.

Its a big piece of work sure, but there haven’t even been attempts (that I know of).

And sims is priced so high (with all the expansions) that getting in that market seems feasable if one of the big names wanted to try.

Seems worth an attempt, rather than churning out copy-cat FPS/dots/battle royals/flavour-of-the-month games :/

EA have been pulling their shit for decades though, so its surprising no one has tried to eat their lunch before now.

Its kinda bizarre that there are so few Sims clones/replacements.

Tech speeds things up. If you want to do good, it’ll help you do it faster. If you want to do evil, it’ll help you do it faster.

White round one with the remote? That’s the awful Google TV ones. The earlier versions have no remote, and you really can’t go wrong, just press cast and it’ll go.

Mines always been bad, but I use a Chromecast all the time anyway, so it doesn’t matter. I’d be livid if I had bought it, but it was free :shrug:

Not all android TVs are bad, but I think a lot of the cheap ones are pretty bad. Mine is horribly laggy, and will occasionally refuse to turn on unless I powercycle it.

Which Chromecast do your parents have? The ones pre-Google TV are pretty brainless to use, but I hate the new google TV ones as well.

I suspect the vast majority of people are buying dumb TVs because android TV sucks, not for privacy reasons. I’m willing to bet most go home and plug their Chromecast or FireTV stick right in.

So as long as android TV sucks, its good news for us.

You can setup DHCP to give the DNS address to every device automatically. Even heavily locked down routers sometimes have the option, but I guess OP will have to try that out.

Pihole also has a built in DHCP, which you can enable and use as long as you disable the router one.

Yeah, I imagine it would be pretty unpleasant for anyone with dyslexia as well.

Ah, okay, thats much more simple then.

That really doesn’t sound that easy…

Pihole has its issues, ~~but at least you dont need to setup each and every device individually. ~~ edit: I have been informed that this is not the only way.

For balance, the main issue I have with pihole is that family members can’t easily bypass it when they need to, which is inconvenient.

Maybe, but also definitely will disadvantage screen reader users.
