  • I thought the same thing when they left an anti landmine group, but like others said, their neighbors are acting erratically and dangerous for national safety.

    As I understand now, using mines gives a smaller defender a lot more power then a big attacker. Landmines still suck ass ofc but at least I understand the choice to use them from a country like Finland.

    Nukes sound similar. If you can project mutually assured destruction, enemy choices are limited.


  • “They say that existing EU consumer law “already provides for important safeguards protecting the economic interests of consumers”, and note that video game publishers have to inform about “the duration and the conditions for terminating the contract before the consumers signs up for the video game”.”

    Well that would be cool, but anything about the duration and conditions for terminating the contract i’ve ever read on boxes or terms of service is: " We can do whatever we like, whenever we like, just so we’re clear’ (im slightly paraphrasing). So it sound to me like the EC says: " Well these sellers said fuck you up front so they’re immune to any responsibility". Cool, cool. I saw a digital fairness act, but maybe we can hang something up in the mandated warranty tree? So if a game shuts down in 6 months barring you from playing, you would be entitled to some form of restitution instead of hoping the dev has morals.

    Still doesn’t solve that corpo’s have their fingers over the killbuttons on our cultural heritage existence, so, you know, there’s a lot of work to do still.
