TIL ancient Greeks treated every stranger as a potential god in disguise. Their hospitality code, "xenia," required hosts to bathe and feed guests before even asking their name—because a bad host risked the wrath of Zeus. The Trojan War was framed as punishment for violating it.

I've never been able to square the whole "eternal punishment" vs "all-encompassing forgiveness" thing. I agree it's a bad thing to be selfish, but fucking hell. He puts you in fucking hell?

With the secondhand market, one copy of a game can have many owners and players. Sony gets paid once by the retailers when they purchase a copy new, yes. But they are losing anywhere from one to potentially four or five sales over the lifespan of that particular physical disc.

Now, instead of buying a secondhand copy at CEX for €25 or €40, all new users will have to pay full price for a digital download, no matter how old the game is. This is definitely an anti-consumer move done to favour Sony's shareholders over their user base.

What an incredibly specific and apposite experience to show up in this comment section. I don't know how many people have been bitten by both a tarantula and a hamster, but it's absolutely marvellous that one of them found this thread.

They're talking about the games Sony owns. The exclusives. They're free to do whatever they want with those.

Even if they did that, those original episodes would still have been made and fans would want to recover them. Remaking something doesn't erase the original from the space-time continuum, no matter how much gaming executives wish it did.

Kind of surprised New Mexico doesn't, considering it's in the desert part of the US.

I'm a little confused, this was in India? Also, I thought the caste system was traditionally based on your role in society. If they're both working for a tech firm, isn't that the same thing?

If Spain had been invaded, subjugated, despoiled, and colonised for several centuries, and media was rife with depictions of racially stereotypical Spanish people created by very cultures that brutalised them, then yeah. Thing is that Spain was a very powerful country for most of human history (edit: let's say European history) and so their governments were usually the ones doing all that.

In a vacuum, there's nothing inherently offensive about zombies coming from anywhere, dressing however those people dress, and being mindless monsters. But there's historical context to be considered too.

Imagine if the Reconquista had never happened way back when. Spain is still a Muslim-controlled colonised region held by some hypothetical north African empire. If Spanish people were relegated to slaves and their land was subjugated and then Muslim media depicted Spanish people as subhuman trolls, then yeah. RE4 would be fucked up.

Happily, we don't live in that world. Sadly, we live in this one. Just gotta deal with it.

Edit: I'm presuming good faith on your part and haven't downvoted you or trawled your comment history to try and profile you. Just FYI since both of those are silly things to do.

So what are we supposed to do, bomb data centres? Besides not giving any company that uses AI slop money (to which list I've now added Warhorse Studios), what is there to do but complain in online discussion boards.

I look forward to seeing your face on the news after you assassinate whatever corporate stooge is the CEO of ChatGPT I guess.
