"To hell with news websites that use paywalls" Rerun

The latest victim of this, today, was "Rock, Paper, Shotgun," with their (to paraphrase) "If you want to see the rest of this article, you need to pay for our subscription" horseshit. Somewhat vaguely disappointing... but I'm not too disappointed, because I'm not all that much worse off than I was before. The only reason I even had them in my Google News phone app in the first place was due to sheer, lazy convenience, and now that that convenience has gone away, to the curb they have been kicked. *shrug*

"Ubisoft to Remove Access to Paid DLC from Games"

Watch on YouTube

"Ubisoft announced the removal of single-player DLC access to a bunch of games. Is regulation needed for digital games?"

---

Yeah... fourth post I've made about this shit. As is usually the case, I agree with what Ian and Pat said here, for the most part. Of course, the modern video game industry is going to modern video game, so I doubt they'll do anything even remotely like what Pat suggests. Not sure I entirely agree that laws/regulations is what will get the job done, though, but if that's what it requires in the end, then so be it, I guess. *shrug*

Vampire Survivors - Only Clock Lancet

Link to image, in case Google Photos once again shits the (em)bed.

(EDIT) Man, seriously, fuck Google Photos. (/EDIT)

So, that might just be the culmination of the "only use the starting weapon" thing. Starting with Iguana Gallo Valletto, who only has the Clock Lancet, and having the max weapons set to one. I briefly thought this would not be possible to actually do, but then I remembered that there was an Arcana that causes explosions when enemies are frozen, and with that, it was totally doable. The only Limit Break upgrade for the Clock Lancet, though, is increasing the duration of the freezing by 100ms per level. If you're killing enemies via explosion anyway, the amount of time frozen doesn't really matter all that much, outside of bosses that take longer to kill, maybe.

And, I mean, sure, I could have gotten the things that would have evolved it to Infinite Corridor, but that would have been too easy. ¬_¬
