@Broken_gamer I think the biggest problem Sega had back in the mid-90’s was that they overextended themselves with crap systems and accessories that they never had any intention of seriously supporting. They had Sega CD, they had some kind of virtual reality headset, they had the 32x. They rushed the overpriced Saturn to market without really learning how to program for it, and it had no backward compatibility with the Genesis library. They let the Game Gead die on the vine instead of refining it and making it smaller and cheaper the way Nintendo periodically did with the Gameboy.

One of the biggest mistakes Sega made was abandoning the Neptune project. Neptune was supposed to be a 32x console with backward compatibility with the existing Genesis library. Sega should have brought that out in ‘95 instead, and waited a couple years to the Saturn right. The 32-but hardware on the Neptune would have been ideal for making cartridge ports of a lot of Sega’s arcade titles, which was arguably their strong point as a company.

How you know the law is unfair to your average user / individual publisher:

"Websites that are blocked by mistake can ask the court to modify the order. However, unlike Issa’s bill, which offers up to $250,000 in compensation, the DEFEND IP Act has no payout for collateral damage."

So in other words there is basically zero chance that a small guy is going to be able to get stuff blocked, but the ~7 hollywood studios (do we even have 7 left???) will be able to basically block any site they like without consequences even if it's non-infringing or primarily non-infringing because the little guy won't have the funds / lawyers on staff / etc to defend against the over-blocking that is inevitable and has occurred in EVERY country that has implemented a censorship regime.

Lets not forget that this also is one of the tactics that is used against political opponents. Particularly the authoritarian kinds (and yes- the very folks we have in congress too!). They have pushed for financial "sanctions" and used such censorship (of a financial nature) in Canada (Prime Minister Justin Trudeau froze the bank accounts, credit cards, and donations of those he disliked for protesting thanks to a highly regulated financial system) and the US against those they oppose. Europe has done the same thing for that matter, but it isn't just who you think. It's a large number of groups from "conservatives" during democrat administrations to folks previously involved in the legal porn industry (bank accounts being shut down by order of republican administrations).

In Canada which does have a censorship regime and site blocking like this bill proposes has attempted to add (?and maybe has?) other non-piracy sites to the list including gambling sites. Censorship doesn't end.

I think the British Empire more or less just moved to New York and kept business as usual. The British Empire is built on the Bank of England, and there was never a true reckoning where depositors lost everything. They still run almost every little money-laundering island nation around the world.

For me, if they're going to make it their policy to try to destroy my people, then I want to see the everything lost. End the dollar, end the pound, mass bankruptcies, crime families that deposited the money putting hits on the crime families that lost it...

Guys, I need help trying to find a particular PC game and I don't even know what it was called or exactly what genre it was.

So as we all know, big box stores (or maybe even stores in general) don't sell physical PC games anymore, but a few years ago, when they still carried some games like The Sims 4, there was a game in a brown jewel case still being sold in many places. It stood out because it seemed to be old, but was still in print. It must have been a full version of those casual shareware games that used to come with your PC back in the mid-2000s. It must have been a puzzle game, a virtual board game, a game show game, or a collection of those. I just know it existed but never cared about it, but now want to know about it for historical purposes.

If anyone has any idea what it was, please tell me.

I really want to know how this protects free speech or consumers, this literally makes zero sense, talk about propaganda (internet censorship bill / site blocking):

"'By enacting this legislation, our country can deploy a highly effective tool to protect creators and consumers from overseas digital piracy, all while safeguarding free speech and preserving the open internet,' MPA Chairman and CEO Charles Rivkin says. "

Bill to censor the US internet:

You heard SOPA was back? Right??? And the copyright cartel are back with a vengeance now that they've succeeded at getting other governments around the world to introduce censorship regimes. Now there isn't just one bill in the US either, but two. The copyright cartel's cronies (representatives in the house and senate) have introduced a 2nd US bill to censor the internet in just the past week!

"The DEFEND IP Act. The proposal comes less than two weeks after Rep. Darrell Issa's competing proposal, and both bills allow rightsholders to obtain court orders requiring ISPs and large DNS resolvers to block foreign pirate sites."

If you haven't written your representative(s) don't wait! It's never too early to start writing and let them know that you don't support this bill or any other that would introduce censorship to the internet.
