• On the post: Square Enix Nixes 3 Years Of Fan Translation Work On PSP, Despite Not Releasing English Version For PSP

  

  Alana ( profile ), 25 Jul, 2014 @ 05:22am

  Square Enix are promoting a new platform. And let's face it: It's well within their rights to take down the fan translation. Expecting them to do otherwise and calling it a slight against the fans is silly. Fan translations aren't legal.
  
  Would I like it if they released the PSP version in English? Yes. Would it sell?
  
  Let's face it: No.
  
  The PSP is a dead market. It makes financial sense to prepare it for the PS4/Xbone instead.

  "Will you then abide by the rule of law?"
  
  Wow, you're accusing someone you don't even know about of breaking the law. You really love discrediting your own posts really damn easily. Fuck you, and the high horse you rode in on.

• On the post: The Big Question: When Did The NSA Know About Heartbleed?

  

  Alana ( profile ), 10 Apr, 2014 @ 08:52pm

  KNOW about it? Do you not think they were the ones who PUT it there? They did admit to fuckin' around with encryption and installing backdoors, what if Heartbleed was one of them?

  Re: Aus bandwidth

  New Zealander here. Agreed. But. In a couple months the flat I'm in is switching to Fibre internet via Orcon which is gonna offer up to 100 Megabits per second depending on location. It's also unlimited and not throttled.
  
  So I'm probably gonna get a VPN and Netflix.
