When it's only one or two a month it's manageable, but now everything worth accessing is split over a dozen services. I gave the legal option a go and it became excessively expensive, so back to piracy. Both cheaper and more convenient.

No they're fanatical. He could be doing it right in front of them and they'll give the "god works through imperfect vessels" line

Xbox controllers work with windows with pretty much zero configuration. Either use USB or the appropriate receiver dongle. This probably contributes a lot to it's popularity.

Also the older and newer style controllers likely all just report as Xbox controllers and the wired 360 controllers are dirt cheap

If there's one thing the pandemic has made clear, it's that there's a lot of crazy assholes out there.

Exactly. You get used to the feeling of intense anxiety if you have it all the time. You don't like it, but you get used to it. Same goes for being poor. It's shit, but if you can't get away from it you adjust your life whether you want to or not.

Only if they buy the argument that it's too difficult to explain what the hidden charges are for so they shouldn't have to.

I'm not saying they're in the right, but once you put stuff on the internet it's near impossible to stop people doing what they want with it

It's not about the cost of the clothing, it's about the intent to appear professional at an interview. Trying is good.

I've seen people rock up to interviews wearing hoodies and tracksuit pants. So yeah dressing appropriately shows you're interested.

You look good! Good luck

They had a free week recently. But it ended up taking almost the entire week to actually successfully install and launch it. So I played it for maybe 5min

I expect they just want statistics

Exactly. If you're unable to explain the fee, then you're unable to prove it's a justified one

Interesting. I wonder if this was due to a request from certain agencies for anything exported.
