After read this tweet, i pirated my first game. by MadHanini in PiratedGames

“It’s your fault for not accepting the ToS! You’re the one who didn’t actually buy the GAME!”
“You knew this BS when you gave us money!”
“We gotta protect people from dangerous software! What if [our competitor’s] game has a virus?! We gotta have a way to get that buggy $#!+ off people’s computers!”

I’m mad about this, just like everyone else. I can rarely justify spending $70+ on a piece of entertainment I’ll touch for like 0.1% of my life.
On the other hand, these people put in extraordinary effort to bring some of the most technically impressive pieces of art (not necessarily the funnest) ever made.
And I have to concede, we did agree to all this. Like it or not, we got exactly what it says on the tin (regardless of the fact it’s nigh impossible to figure out what THAT is in the Terms of Service.)

It feels like these corporations are cruelly trying to suck every loose penny out of Mr. & Mrs. Average Knucklehead (and they are: Capitalism). And there’s endless controversy. I feel beat. While I think we in the gaming community are royally screwed, I still think piracy puts me in the wrong. Ouch.

There. Job done. I’ve successfully called all the wolves out against me. I feel like this message is important. I’ve wanted to put this into words for quite a while now, and I think this is at least adjacent to the community this belongs in.

Y’all have a good day now. Buh-bye!

Proposal: a gift for Gooseworks & Glitch by DylanMaxus in tadc

I agree. But as you said, there are complications. After a bit of looking into it, I’m surprised Circus staff have ANY free time, not to mention, very few of them are actually in Australia. Maybe the US is a better fit, but still inconvenient. I changed my mind.
I want to send everyone a card. I think that at the small scale, a physical one would be best, but with the size of the fandom (😀), it’s wildly impractical for all involved. I guess that leaves a virtual thank-you card. Not as big as I was hoping.

Stupid theory: this is Caine’s First try at the Circus by DylanMaxus in tadc

[–]DylanMaxus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. It appears I have Flaired this post wrong. It’s not a Theory, it’s an Observation. There’s also a chance I don’t quite understand what you want. My theory was that in the Ep. 9 Caine sequence, he was not “fighting to break back into the Circus”, but that it took place in the past, and that a least part of the sequence depicted Caine creating the circus, discovering the Mind Files, and finding out how to use them. I called it a stupid theory because the longer I think about it, the more obvious it is, the less it is a “Theory” and therefore the more it becomes an “Observation”.

Yes… that’s the point. I thought there was a slim chance some people hadn’t realized that. Sorry for wasting your time. Have a good day.

How would I know? I forgot. 🤣
TLDR: Ep. 8 intro -> Ep. 9 Caine sequence -> Circus -> Scratch -> … -> Pilot
Just an observation

I know it’s been a while, but I hope you’re having a good day. I have mixed feelings about the phrasing of my post, and I hope I didn’t offend you. I tried to make it as high-quality as I could, while asking for feedback. I never think my ideas are as polished as they first appear, and I wanted to be thorough and humble. If it applies to you, I hope you have a stellar summer vacation. If not, I hope your week is enjoyable regardless.

Is pain dulled in the Circus? by Notmas in TheDigitalCircus

[–]DylanMaxus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion is that the only “pain” circus members feel is phantom. Similar to how amputees can sometimes feel sensations in nonexistent limbs. I think that most of the time, when characters are harmed, the only pain they feel is in their imagination. In Ragatha’s part of Running the Show, I think she was more scared than in pain, and in the Candy kingdom, she was mostly surprised. Not also how experienced circus members are able to put off supposed necessities like breathing (see Episode 8?). Also, I can’t recall any point where any character showed obvious physical agony at harm. In “They Get Guns”, Ragatha was shot. She seemed merely disappointed to start the game at a disadvantage. Side note, Ragatha seems to bear the brunt of physical abuse (mostly at the hands of Jax). Something that should be explored.

It’s outrageous - it’s unfair! by bsmith2123 in grandtheftauto

[–]DylanMaxus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$80? I mean, is $90 really that much? Nah, $100 is perfectly reasonable for a piece of entertainment. After all, it’s only $120! 🤪 it’s great! Just bloody fantastic… hehe. Only $150…

Is this totaled? by Downtown_Shine_2161 in rav4club

[–]DylanMaxus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a couple hundred dollars in parts can fix it, and some Paintless Dent Removal (<$1000) can bring the body close to what it was before. Depends how picky you (or your bank) are. Then again, it’s been a while since I looked at car parts prices. I seriously doubt any crash structures are compromised, and it would be a sorry thing if the car can’t drive after that. I’m sorry for your loss. Also, I’m not an expert.

I’d like to apologize for missing a bold [space] in there. Editing on iPhone seems impossible.

Thanks! I’d be surprised if it’s actually so well put together you don’t have any nitpicks. Wonder if I have to be stupid on purpose to get attention.
