it's going to just be spoofed

email scams claiming to have video of you are common, they're never right. it's just a scare tactic. as you can see, it worked in doing so.

btw phone scams can also spoof numbers, a tactic they use is to spoof numbers from the same area code, often you'll even get a spam call from your own phone number.

(but what money superman from where)

I mean, you're talking about someone who can fly into space, grab an asteroid, drag it back, punch it, and then wham, instant rare earth resources like iridium. Tons of easy money that way.

Not to mention we've seen him make diamonds out of coal with his bare hands.

And all that's before you take into account the fact that it's probably easy to start taxing people when you can punch anyone who refuses to pay into space.

would you need to pay for the results of the poll? the results are right there publicly

Because the real value is in breaking down and correlating the data. Most marketing companies aren't going to pay an employee to go look at every individual poll to try and pull data, but they'll pay for a report that spells out multiple trends in bite-size chunks, and can link those trends to user ages, locations, and other demographics.

GameFAQs can correlate that data on the back end, thus making it easy to sell.

Probably from day of sale, because the site has been collecting your data for like 20+ years now.

Selling user data has probably been the site's primary revenue stream for a looong time now. It's also the main reason they still bother running polls - because they sell the data as marketing info.

I'll be surprised if console generations are still a thing by the time PS12 would be rolling around, given how harsh the diminishing returns are getting on new generations, but I expect Sony will keep the same naming scheme for as long as they are (possibly changing it up for whatever the final one ends up being).

I'll be surprised if console generations are still a thing by the time PS12 would be rolling around, considering how likely it is that we'll be spending most of our time fighting over oil and water while the sky burns by then.

Though there's no way in hell I'm surviving long enough to see a PS10 regardless, even if I don't get murdered and eaten by my neighbors.

Depends on the intent of the author.

It doesn't bother me when JRPGs have evil Catholic churches and where you eventually fight and kill God because I know they're just looking for cool motifs, and barely understand the religion they're riffing on (in the same way they use Norse mythology in games - it's all just "foreign myth" to them).

I find stuff like the Golden Compass annoying because Philip Pullman comes across like a bitter dick with an axe to grind, who is deliberately aiming at children to influence young minds.

If you're writing as a "Gotcha! Fuck you!", you're probably kind of an asshole. The same applies whether you're basing your main villain on the guy who cut you off in traffic or your ex who left you for a guy named Serge, or if you're taking shots at the church because you're still mad your mom made you go to Sunday school as a kid. It's just petty and sad.

The second bullet-pointed item of rule nine baffles me. Wouldn't that make it harder for game developers to detect bugs?

I'm more interested in the third bullet point. Because of how it's phrased it means you essentially can't discuss drug use of any kind, other than for medicinal purposes.

And because of the blurry line of what exactly is and isn't a "drug", as phrased we technically can't talk about drinking coffee, alcohol, or smoking tobacco without risking moderation.
