I played shadow of Mordor 3 times and always lost motivation as soon as you make it to the second area

Similar problem with Dying Light too.

For me it’s ‘Maintain a reasonable routine for 100 days’. I can always get a burst of motivation and accomplish things. What I can’t do is reliably do the chores for an extended period of time. Repeating, but intermittent small tasks are my kryptonite.

Same. Dealing with a cord was enough hassle to very rarely ever use it.

Several adult friendly platforms have come and gone. Many of them very profitable and self sustaining. They all eventually get screwed by inability to process payments.

And when people try to create their own payment methods not subject to arbitrary morality rules, the full weight of the existing banking system comes down hard and strangles them in the cradle.

We could absolutely have safe, profitable, self sustaining adult friendly spaces, but the powers that be don’t want that to exist and work hard to undermine that from every possible angle.

It’s really no different than all those efforts to ban local fiber ISP coops or how abortion clinics get shut down by arbitrary full hospital regulations because they couldn’t ban them legally.

Piracy is somewhat similar to vigilantism to me. My ability to consider it a negative is directly related to how fair I consider the legitimate methods available to be.

If similar efforts were focused on consumer protection laws as we do IP protection, I don’t think pirates would have much leg to stand on, and they’d be seen in more of a negative light.

But since consumers are regularly fucked by corporations, all I see is two sides both doing bad shit and I’m not feeling all that charitable for the faceless megacorp. I also dislike pirates who pirate from small time creators. But that’s about as far as I can care given the state of things.

We should be focusing on stronger consumer rights to truly fix the problem for all sides.
