  1. I have no problems with people expressing their views on JK Rowling. I have no problem with outlets directly linking negative articles about the creators in a review. I do think outlets do a disservice to their readers when they publish something like this, pretending it is a legitimate review:
  2. Review: 'Hogwarts Legacy' Has No Magic | WIRED WWW.WIRED.COM The game is mid at best, and its real-world harms are impossible to ignore. Wired publishes an OpEd on JK Rowling masquerading as a game review.
  3. Using 10 minutes of google to debunk (from someone who is largely unschooled in anti-Semitism and Harry Potter): 1) The goblin uprising of 1612 was in Prisoner of Azkaban. And involved Goblins having an uprising 2) The Fettmilch uprising was a group who stormed the Judengasse in August 1614 and attacked Jews. 3) Cheese is kosher if is made with rabbinical supervision, and doesn't use rennet. Most places in the US/UK use artificial rennet that can be Kosher. Many European cheeses are made without rabbinical supervision, and using natural rennet (so aren't Kosher). Gorgonzola is an Italian cheese, so most probably isn't Kosher. But neither is most cheese. I've never seen that Gorgonzola being particularly associated with Jews in a positive or negative way. Could this be a hugely antisemitic item? Maybe, but I still think that is a stretch.
  4. You're arguing with the article that you posted to make your point.
  5. If they change architectures again (it's Nintentdo, so of COURSE they will) -- then I bet it won't be backwards compatible.
  6. Dead Space Remake PC: a premium port marred by intrusive stutter WWW.EUROGAMER.NET Alex Battaglia delivers the DF tech analysis of the PC version of the Dead Space remake (2023) - including a comparison vs PS5 and optimised settings.
  7. Free this week: Recipe for Disaster | Download and Buy Today - Epic Games Store Free next week: Warpips | Download and Buy Today - Epic Games Store
  8. You give other people access to your Steam account -- brave. I setup the rest of my household with Steam accounts -- and shared the Steam libraries between all accounts that get automatically logged-into when they log on windows. Everyone has their own saves, never any hassle.
  9. Roger Goodell defends NFL officiating - Never been better WWW.ESPN.COM NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday expressed support for the league's officials and the quality of their execution during his annual Super Bowl week news conference.
  10. On my old PC I had a cheap $30 keyboard. For travelling with my Steam Deck, I bought a cheapish 60% Bluetooth mechanical keyboard on Prime Day. I discovered I really like mechanical keyboards. I have been using this on the new PC. Wife was complaining about the smaller keys on the keyboard. Looked into the price of mechanical keyboards. Fuck. Discovered that Corsair had refurbished K100s on their website for a significantly lower price than new and ordered one. I still feel bad spending US$160 on a keyboard. But did I really have a choice?
  11. I am sure some people are doing it -- but how many? Between Andor, Ahsoka, Bad Batch and the Marvel things -- not to mention their back catalog of movies.... There is always SOMETHING my family is watching. It costs me ~C$120 a year -- probably my best value in non-sports streaming.
  12. The annual subscription is the cost of 10 months of monthly. I guess you could save money by turning it on, binging and then turning it off -- but how many people actually behave like that?
  13. Disney+ is the most watched paid streaming service in my house. Primarily for the Star Wars content.
  14. He gets to take the interest as a tax credit instead of you.
  15. The only info that seems to have been released to the press is that they think it was deliberate. They have confirmed it was 51 year old Pierre Ny St. Amand.
