    One thing that I hope they didn’t carry over from the first one is the ad-libbing of 90% of the NPC’s lines. The voice actor is not good at improv and constantly resorts to swearing and throwing insults out of no where for cheap shock value whenever he hits a block. At first it was funny because it was different to what you’re used to but it got old really quick.

    They just blatantly ignore your preferences because they know there will be no consequences.

    The one thing that generally works well in Canada at least is that they must provide a way to unsubscribe at the bottom of the email. The complaint process is relatively simple and the fines for violations are steep.





  • I have a copy of Windows 10 LTSC that I have installed on a virtual machine just in case I need the one last program that I use that I cannot get to work on Linux.

    Lately I upgraded my machine and had to reinstall everything. As I was installing Windows on my VM, it started demanding that I create an account and wouldn’t let me proceed without one, asked me to associate third party accounts to my OS and was generally being extremely intrusive and forceful in ways I didn’t remember it being before, like opening Edge and forcing me to click through an introduction that I didn’t want without giving me the option to close it. I then realized that I had forgotten to disable network access to my VM and that Windows had downloaded updates during the install.

    I immediately destroyed that VM and started over again, this time without allowing it to connect to internet. Suddenly the experience was far better.

    The moment I had let Windows connect to the internet it had thoroughly enshittified itself. It let me appreciate how badly Microsoft has enshittified Windows 10 over the years ever since its release. We are far away from the Windows 7 days.
