Hooray for the most useless synonym change ever! At least he isn't being unproductive now.

Trust me, I recall all that craziness. Nowadays you probably could get a mod for every game. It is sad, because at the least they could just make it "very" exposed clothing, like transparent. Instead they have to strip her nude in tundra environments and jungles (is that even remotely safe?). Today Lara left the house in the nude to shoot some monkeys in the jungles of South America. Great, she just went from treasure hunter to psycho anti-PETA member that wishes to bathe in the blood of her enemies. Great, that is actually convincing me a nude mod is a good thing, because that is an amazing concept.

In the vanilla game? How do you know in Singleplayer he wears anything? We only see helmeted marines in Multiplayer, but remember, we see Doomguy's face in our HUD. Potentially, he was naked for the story campaign.

That is pretty much what I am realizing. Is telemetry that big of a deal in modern society? I tried to install Java, saw the telemetry message, and realized just how far down the rabbit hole we are. The only thing I can say is that I have decided to hold off on using 10, at least until it is truly needed, simply due to a bit of logic. Telemetry is bad and exists everywhere, but it still is potentially a mess to decipher since they are only getting bits from everywhere at the software level. An OS is pretty much a step above bare metal, so it suddenly becomes one big way to see everything. As such, I suspect you lose a lot more freedoms with 10.

After more research, it turns out there is OpenJDK which has none of that stuff. Minecraft is now the last bastion of privacy. Never upgrade Minecraft, play the alpha version, and you never have to worry about being spied on. Nobody knows how many trees I have chopped in my latest world. If you care about not being watched by security cameras everywhere you go, you will realize we all need to resort to Minecraft for anything private.

Does privacy really matter to me? Not really. You realize how much of my life I stream? Add in work and experimenting with the OS, you pretty much got everything I am doing willingly going up for anyone to see. I would have to be the biggest idiot in the world to be trying to conceal myself in every way and then upload everything I do to Google willingly. At this point, I guess it is more about not making it too easy. I could still potentially do stuff that doesn't go on Youtube, meaning you need to check with another source. That is what it is all about at this point, trying to not give too much telemetry to one company while accepting it happens with every one.

Plus Windows 10 is still a new OS with a lot of issues they are working out. It just doesn't sound as reliable as 8.1. They are in the middle of a massive transition in regards to UI, so everything is unstable and chaotic. After some releases we might get one that works really well, but at the moment 8.1 seems to be the best course until at least 2019.

A blood ritual would be better. I am prepared with my alarm clocks to sleep through it.
