@Nordhand too bad Benelux is insignificant
Their only purpose is to be used by Germany as an express rapeway to France
the way a lot of governments work is that they wait until someone else makes the first move and then they follow. they may be small but it can be the snowflake that starts an avellane
We gotta quarantine Europe from the rest of the internet then
well the EU is working on that. but as some have pointet out before, loot boxes may end up getting the same treatment as online poker did get in the US, and it not to protect the poor kids but the government wants it share of the pie
Fucking hell, and I thought Sonic Forces dropped quick.
I got the update a few days ago but the announcement only just got given to me
If only @Reaps was here to see it
lol you can buy shit with ur currency big deal
too bad lots of titles will be unavailable now...
Doesn't seem like a net positive
it is a big deal, because we get constantly fucked over by conversion rates, and we used to be unable to refund games as steam "didn't serve australia"
we lose a few shit indie games, and we get the ability to know how much we're actually spending, and refunds if we wish
that's a huge deal
but yeah, dismiss it out of hand because it doesn't affect you specifically
Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
that's not why Amir dismissed it though
>lol you can buy shit with ur currency big deal
yeah, it kinda is why Amir dismissed it. doesn't effect Amir, so it's not a big deal, who cares?
then Amir backed up the dismissal with an untrue statement, and asserted that it's not a net positive
he literally never said it doesn't affect him so he doesn't care
like
way to put shit in his mouth
and when someone says something wrong you correct them, which you did
saying wrong things doesn't indicate malice
>**you** can buy shit with **your currency**, **big deal**
sounds like that doesn't affect him
sounds like it isn't a big deal because it doesn't affect him

<:thronk:441701565607444482>
was he supposed to say we and our currency when he doesn't use it
no...
you missed my point
he's saying that Australians being able to spend Australian Currency isn't a big deal
now, unless he uses Australian Currency, that sounds like it **doesn't effect him**, does it not?
so, he's saying that it doesn't effect him, and it's not a big deal

<:thronk:441701565607444482>
dude you are reading so much into this
it's literally just
"being able to use your own currency doesn't sound that impressive"
cause he didn't know the benefits, and you explained those to him, problem solved
"big deal" is also incredibly dismissive/condesending
when I hear someone say that something "isn't a big deal", that's them dismissing it because it doesn't effect them
but yeah, I'm definitely reading too much into this and it's not just a misunderstanding or poor choice of words
totally innocuous statement
"but yeah, I'm definitely reading too much into this and it's not just a misunderstanding or poor choice of words
totally innocuous statement"
remove the sarcasm and you have a true statement
