Assuming you don't live in the US, I suggest visiting a doctor.

If you are in the US, add 'Witch' in front.

That awkward moment when you want to do all the things violently.

My kindle abruptly froze for half an hour. The screen was unresponsive, the power button didn't work, and plugging it in did nothing.

Thankfully, a helpful web forum informed me that holding the power button extra long would force it to shut down, but that was still incredibly odd.

I don't know why I read that as kidney at first.

[Eric Blank]

"Don't worry, if your kidneys shut down, just hold down the power button."

[MaximumZero]

That's called dialysis.

I just read through pages and pages of people arguing in defence of Microsoft and Sony holding games hostage for their own financial gain.
Who are these people and how do they even have money.

[GiglameshDespair]

Holding games hostage?

Holding games hostage?

You know, where the console manufacturer pays the developers money to make their game be exclusive to the platform.

Cause developers have bills to pay. (Ain't some of those cases first-party anyways? Or is that not included in the hostage situation? ... Heck, Nintendo is all about first-party exclusivity.)

I wouldn't think so, I mean it's common knowledge that if a first party makes a game it'll probably be exclusive to their system.

I wouldn't include those, no.

The only reason they need to get paid for exclusivity is due to lost sales from not selling on other platforms.


I don't have a problem when the exclusivity is because it literally couldn't work on certain platforms (requires certain features to function), but when it's just to push hardware it's pretty scummy and anti-consumer. Artificially alters competition so that you can get away with providing a product that consumers have no particular reason to buy.
