Why am I researching theoretical math?

IMO, if you aren’t going to write two essays on theoretical math and on metaphilosophy of identity, then what are you even adding magic to a story for.

Or at least, any magic that is “actually magic” and not just "quantum fields flavour of the week™.

Maybe this is why Evil Overlords have cats? So that even if the hero manages to best the human, they won’t be able to get to the Abort Nukes button before T - 00:00 because the cat is hunched on top.

Now that you mention indie games, I think it’s important to distinguish intents and showcase how publishers are shooting themselves in the foot.

Someone who pirated an indie game (why tho?) and liked it, is more likely to pay for it because indie publishers also provide better medium to pay for the actual software, or contribute to the actual developer, with fewer middlemen and rent-seekers. If someone pirated an AAA game and liked it and wanted to buy it, their options are still limited due to one of the main reasons of having pirated the game in the first place. At prices of, like, US$ 60 lol, hey’d have to wait until a Steam supersale or smth…

Agree. Was too soft. She went in and charged to vandalize and attack asylum seekers. Maybe some exile will teach her some empathy on how those people were already feeling.

Technically the media conglomerates should be the ones to be sued: they provide material to be pirated in the first place!
