Except now, for this game, you absolutely do. Long after you paid for it and passed the refund period.

In-person key exchange; so no more having friends all around the world unless you're willing to spend a LOT of money.

Can't speak for parrots, but my labrador found shows from the airport with dogs sniff-testing baggage and passengers highly interesting. She'd watch very attentively while the dogs were doing their thing, and as soon as the dogs weren't on the screen she'd lose interest.

I'm old enough to be from the time when we just used a quick smiley to indicate mood or tone; no need for firetrucks and eggplants and dog heads and some obscure scribble no one can agree on a meaning for.

Except when it comes through on a work call.

It doesn't just seem dumb; it seems like something a small child would find funny, not an adult.

Better to die while in line for treatment than on your couch with no hope for treatment.

Yes, you die in both cases. But in one of them you had a chance.

My clock radio can do that. Also beams the current time unto the ceiling of my bedroom so I can see what time it is at night without burning out my retinas.

Well, it sure would explain why the account I once made for an MMO called Rift got compromised like five, six years later and could somehow be used to purchase a lot of stuff for another game from the same provider, despite the card attached having expired several years prior ...

Why does ANYONE have auto-update?! What the hell is the point of the expiry date if they just roll over to the next card?!

Unless I've manged to have it without ever having symptoms then hi, I'm one of the people who never had it.

Not just that, but 'Berlin-based' is going to make it even worse for them. Germany is extremely strict when it comes to photo rights. Last I heard (and it may have changed since though I doubt it) dashcams are illegal in Germany for that very reason.

I was shown one the other day that looked like a bad acid trip full of psychedelic colors, and some animal shapes you had to match to dotted silhouettes at the top. Absolutely insane. I started feeling dizzy and nauseous from looking at it for just ten seconds.
