    Gonassis reacted to Reality vs Adventure in Breeding of human/pig hybrids in Texas   
    There is a concerning rate of human pig hybrid birthrates in Texas with genetic swaps due to living in very similar habitats. They actually have cross bred with pigs and now are able to carry the DNA successfully into their own offspring. There is a new heart transplant that has taken place by using the heart of a human/pig hybrid and replacing that into a human. The procedure was a success and now scientists are looking more closely into the Texas communities that are predominantly these human pigs. This is quite fascinating because while the human species has devolved in intelligent capacity, the pig DNA has evolved into more intelligent pigs. Together, they aren't quite as intelligent as the homo sapiens, but with this research we can learn much more about pig mentality and how they communicate. Here are a few photos of the human/pig hybrids. As you can see, the birth rate has increased with more to a litter.

    Was actually going to post the same to stay ontopic but @Withywarlock beat me to it.
    This thread has run it's course i guess, unless somebody who is a parent with kids old enough to play videogames here wants to chim in and share their own experiences? I'd love to hear them if you are willing to post them as maybe we could learn a thing or two along the way.

    Please stay on topic, folks. The question is "how old to start gaming?" I welcome new threads being made on other subjects, or them being taken to private messages, but we're not derailing this.

    This means DRM style safeguards for your games. Honestly I don't see an issue with this when it comes to digital games. I also have no issue with it if it's to stop people from using fake game carts or stolen ones. I just hope this doesn't result in games becoming one time use. I don't think that would be the case. I think with this it makes sense for the Switch, because it's not like they are looking for people who sell their games. I think they genuinely want to stop people from illegally duplicating the game or finding ways of sharing it.

    Denuvo and other DRM has been known to cause performance issues such as frame-rate drops and loading time problems, however negligable. These issues are mostly experienced on PC especially with older hardware, and while I give more credit to the Switch than others regarding its hardware capabilities, it still needs all the resources it can get. It doesn't need to be bogged down further by DRM.
    It offers no benefit to the customer and at worst it means the pirates get the better experience because the game's performance isn't compromised.
    It's highly unlikely that it will: see this exhaustive list of cracked games from four years ago. There's been a lot more games with Denuvo since, and a lot more cracks since then. The hardest games to break open are those with additional DRM, such as VM Protect & Uplay, which Ubisoft employs... meaning Denuvo on its own doesn't work. For physical games, I'm not so sure, but I imagine those who want in will find a way in and then share it online.
    Regarding carts being stolen I'd love it if Denuvo had a way of returning carts to their rightful owners. It's a shame it doesn't, and this is Nintendo's first step to harming the idea of swapping games or selling them used.
    I get the appeal of cracking down on emulators for the current console, I find the practice abhorrent when Switches are available, affordable for what they are, and there's plenty of copies of games new and used. The developers and publishers can still make money on them, unlike say a Nintendo 64. Shigeru Miyamoto isn't getting a penny for a copy of Super Mario 64 sold on eBay, but he could for Super Mario Odyssey bought new from GAME (well, that's not entirely how it works but the sentiment is the same.)
    I wish I had your optimism. Very rarely is DRM removed for the legitimate purchasers once it's demonstrated the anti-piracy measures to have failed, meaning we can have goodbye to many games that end their publishing agreements and licenses.
    The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
    I agree with you entirely but I want to highlight this particular line. Discourse on piracy, especially from developers and publishers, is rarely truthful let alone useful. According to sexual harrassment apologist and Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemont, PC has a 93-95% piracy rate... which means their DRM is effective 5-7% of the time.
    Whatever the real figures are (which they can't know anyway), they haven't really lost a sale because it's unlikely that many pirates are the 'ethical' kind who use it as a demo first.
    I hope Nintendo have been paying attention but again I have not one iota of faith.

    Denuvo is the worst thing you can have with your games. Not only it not do what it's suppose to do as it's get's cracked every time, it can and has caused massive performance issues, sometimes costing 20fps. By using such infamous and hated third party DRM it paints a bullseye on your games, thus actually making your games more vulnerable to being hacked and pirated, so it makes it worse for everyone. On PC it's bad for performance, but on what's already an underpowered console is recipe for disaster.

    Oh for fucks sake!  Denuvo is useless!  Customers (especially on PC) know it's useless, developers know it's useless, even publishers know it's useless.  the only reason anybody uses it is so say they can claim that they are doing something about the money their not loosing to piracy.  Denuvo is usually cracked within 24 hours and even if it isn't, the customer base that do have a legit copy that they paid for have to suffer.  This is without considering the hypothesis that piracy doesn't actually loose these companies any profit.  Think about it, if you would rather go through the hassle of downloading a cracked version of a game that probably has tonnes of adware bollocks then you obviously weren't willing to buy the game in the first place!  For game publishers piracy is an enemy that doesn't exist.

    Honestly, anti-piracy tends to make it more of a pain for legit customers than the pirates. Most DRM gets cracked very quickly, so it only deters it for like… 24 hours.
    I wish I could pirate software at work, and it’s not because I want to save my company money. It’s because it’s less of a pain. Enterprise licenses are jank af.

    He checks his potions and weapon wheel only to find it empty so he conjures his old friend who owns the sky. While waiting, he notices the body has claw marks and a shriveled body. That points to none other than the marrow suckers. He notices big yellow eyes everywhere staring at him in the trees. Everything else is covered by leaves and branches. The whole forest has these creatures waiting in the trees. Off in the distance, that looks to be a dragon dashing through the clouds.

    This sounds like playing ZORK haha I love this. Lets go with something simple that we all understand, fantasy advernture type of game, swords, spells and monsters, and open world.

    30 years don't compare to the 3 seconds you have frozen into as a demon is spiderwebbed to your ceiling twisting it's head at you. And another pale face rises on the side of your bed. You know you are vulnerable and a claw rises slowly on the other side. Your blanket is being tugged away at the foot of the bed. No where to run. The windows are sealed. The door is open though. But you can never reach it. It mocks you. What then brave soul?
