Re: UK Citizens Using Death Stranding 2 on PS5 to Bypass Porn Blocks

@TimeDelayedGamer If this law is "needlessly authoritarian" you can also argue age restrictions on cigarettes, alcohol and drugs are. You could also argue that having to register to buy is gun is "needlessly authoritarian". Or to get a drivers licence. Or to vote. Yes kids still get alcohol and cigarettes. But we have had laws for decades that require ID for it and it hasn't been some crazy slippery slope to authoritarianism. There is a weird, desperate defence for porn these days. Its never for the reasons people say. Its because people are addicted and they are ashamed they might have to admit it by registering.

@TimeDelayedGamer I will never understand this mentality "Well they will get their hands on it anyways so why bother". So why do we bother having age restrictions on alcohol, cigarettes or drugs? By your logic they will get it anyways right? If people are so hard up to watch porn they can confirm their age. Just like they do for many other things in society. You willingly give your information to endless amounts of ***** online already so I don't buy this "information will be stolen" argument.

@Olmaz I think the people who claim porn isn't bad for kids are porn addicts themselves and use it as a defence mechanism to justify their addictions. Porn is bad for kids, period. Excessive porn is bad for society in general. I grew up in the 90's. If my horny teen self had the access kids have today I would never have left my house. Something needs to be done.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Tops 5 Million Players, Performs 'In Line with Expectations'

@tangyzesty A few things in Shadows really annoyed me. The motivations of the characters were so up and down. Like why would Naoe be so willing to work with Yasuke after what he did? Also the ties to the greater universe of assassins was weak as hell. So its a bunch of abandoned assassin's bureaus again...? Just like in Valhalla... A small mention of Ezio in Rome... Its just so lazy and low effort.

Ghosts on the other hand, the story is beautifully told with very deep and interesting characters who all have arcs. The combat remained fun and challenging the entire game. In AC you eventually become so powerful nothing is a challenge...

I'm genuinely curious what you found better about Shadows?
