  • Grey market key seller? Yes you can get your key banned and maybe get your account in trouble on whichever platform (Steam, Origin, etc) you use.

    They sell cheap because they get them illegitimately. Leaked press keys, keys bought with stolen credit cards, keys scammed from developers, datamined keys…

    What all of these sources have in common is that the actual developer gets nothing at best, and a chargeback fee at worst. All your money goes to middle men.

    Just pirate instead. It’s more responsible.





  • During my assessment, the psychiatrist said she got as much out of my frequest requests for clarification as she did from the answers.

    -“Do changes in your environment distress you?”

    -“What type of changes and how big? Someone stealing my jacket, or my bus being delayed by 10 minutes? Does distress mean angry? Or annoyed? Can you give an example of what distress feels like, in the context of this question?”



  • It is indeed a systemic issue, but his government is the strongest player in making sure this system is strenghtened rather than weakened.

    In addition to all the bad stuff, there has also been more and more people pushing to make things better: Reduce laws and influence from religious fundamentalists, return land claimed by settlers and spread an understanding that they are doing evil, peace and trade with neighboring countries, etc.

    And he is afraid of them. That is why he is trying to move to what is practically a dictatorship and go into perpetual war.

    With the current government gone, there is at least hope that the non-fundamentalist politics can take the wheel.

    I’m stretching the word “hope” to near breaking point here, I know. It would go from “impossible” to merely “impossibly hard with decades of hard concessions” to fix things.
