Yeah I knew it as Winning Eleven 4. I got it as a pirated copy, in Japanese, and played the shit out of it.

When PES came out and it seemed to do better that FIFA I looked it up and I was amazed to find out it was from the same publisher as the football game I loved in the early 2000 and nobody else played (ISS Pro)

I see what you mean, that makes sense.

You could probably sell it as an incentive thing. Rent your property, pay less property tax on it.

But I’d say the tax on rent should still be there, and be proportional to it. Since the property tax would also be dependent on the value of the property, what you say could still be true.

I’d imagine those would be separate taxes. One is a property tax because you own that property, and then if you earn money from it via short or long term rentals you pay taxes on that.

There’s a lot to unpack here. My two cents are:

• progressively higher property taxes for every additional one (probably with an upper limit)
• restrictions and heavy taxes on short term rentals
• any house that’s not a permanent short term rental (with associated taxation) and has not been the object of a long term rental for some reasonable amount of time, gets forcibly put on the rental market at a government fixed rate
• heavy fines for and seizure of properties intentionally left unoccupied to artificially inflate rents

This is not an objective opinion nor tries to be.

I absolutely used to love Ford Racing 2. Got it from a cereal box or something.

As a former picky eater, lots of foods. Most notably sushi (used to dislike all fish), and bell peppers that moved from disgusting to delicious.

Lots of music. As most kids do (or used to before streaming was a thing) I was locked in a limited set of genres, but I’ve come to appreciate songs I’d have never considered back then.

They’re in on collecting data, like every other company

Teens acting like teens.

There are writings dating back to ancient Greece of people complaining about young people and how stupid/lazy/whatever they are compared to the previous generations.

Maybe we can drop that one already.

I agree the price is pretty high for what it is, but I wonder how much adding a headphone jack would actually affect it.

I bought the Fairphone 5 and yeah, I miss not having the jack and I see no reason to take it out

I heard that person actively contributed for something like 2 years, providing actually useful contributions, to gain the level of trust needed to plant that backdoor. Feels a bit too much to chalk it up to boredom.

As for the second part, that’s an interesting question. Are there lots of backdoors and we just happened to notice this one, or are backdoors very rare exactly because we’d have found them out soon like in this case?

I never got that Gameboy I wanted, but that’s OK, I’m made up for it using emulators years later.

Shuffle my entire library of course.

Satie after Lorna Shore? Of course kind sir

Bonus points I discovered after a bachelor’s degree and most of a master’s:

If you pay attention in class you’ll understand most of the material, and the rest you can ask the professors directly. Truly astounding.

Those would be my choices too. Amazing stuff
