Unless you're paying for some kind of "streaming" video game service, the game lives on your solid state drive/hard drive... which is physical media.
The license is what allows you to re-download and re-install it over and over.
This isn't a death of physical media, because even the streaming video game services are storing the copies of video games they stream to you on hard drives and solid state drives. The physical media doesn't disappear, but rather corporations are using technology to force you to use it how the company wants you to use it, and the bonus to those companies of the increased price of gaming hardware. Now we will have a difficult time owning our own physical media because it has become so costly.
Just because you don't have enough physical media space to install every game you've ever bought doesn't mean they aren't all living on a hard drive or old cd/dvd-rom SOMEWHERE. The "cloud" isn't actually ephemeral. Surprise, it's just a bunch of other people's computers.
Which is what these corporations want, they want to be in full control of who gets access and when, because you're on their property on their hard drives. There is no profit for the game companies in people like us having enough physical media space to keep data forever.
Well the good news is broadcast networks are dying and the Republicans don't want the FCC to have jurisdiction over the internet (they killed net neutrality under the argument the FCC doesn't have a right to regulate it), so this will mean fuck-all to places like Netflix or HBO and most folks watch stuff on streaming services these days anyway.
Also does this mean any sci-fi shows with alien races who don't have genders will have warnings? Like it's just fucking asinine.
It's honestly crazy how many of them went on to even bigger careers somehow after Pete & Pete. Chris Elliott's Get A Life had just ended the same year Pete & Pete started but would only become a cult classic later. Garofalo would make a break in her career with The Truth About Cats and Dogs in 1996, the year it ended, and Pete & Pete was one of her earliest roles. Hell, even Toby Huss' career took off.
Honestly I think the only one who kind of kept the same level of fame is probably Iggy Pop.
Except for Allison Fanelli who played Ellen, she quit acting and became a math teacher if I recall correctly, which is also cool as fuck.
Not to mention Bebe Neuwirth, Janeane Garofalo, LL Cool J, Michael Stipe, Chris Elliott, Michelle Trachtenberg (RIP) and... Sam Riegel?? How in the hell...
No no no, trust me, they all use AI. They just don't want it in their backyards.
This is the kind of stuff they use to build in predominantly minority neighborhoods. White people are angry that their skin color is no longer protecting them from it.
It is correct, but the former has become a slur over time, nor does "transexual" match because it's not about who you desire, it's about who you are. Heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, finsexual are all about what kind person(s) you desire sexually. It's a mismatch and it is now a slur.
So it means transgender. Unless you're an asshole.
Okay, let's get down to brass tacks here...
