there are more single player games out there than you could ever play and you can own them forever.

the move to always online is an attempt to compete with their biggest competition, their entire back catalogue.

if I still gave a shit about new consoles an empty box with a game code or anything with always online would be deal breakers.

PSA: PS3 has a ton of great games you likely never played and shops literally can’t give them away right now. why pay over $100 for the remaster that you don’t own when you can own the original for $1

right? if that’s all it takes to stop you paying for 20 streaming services in perpetuity are you even trying?

I had a fatal accident and it really cut into my finances …

I host my media on a bookshelf and play it through a stereo

why is everything getting worse

the answer is always money.

nothing more to tell. my jellyfin box can’t handle newer codecs and I also have older devices that can connect to UPnP servers directly.

VLC runs on everything.

I have a UPnP server running on my NAS and use VLC to stream anything that my Jellyfin box has issues with.

it depends if they’re looking at usenet indexers or if integrated torrent searches count as site visits.

if it even lets you change source without being connected that is …

We are not into that here.

they say on a decentralised social media platform.

imagine not being behind a CGNAT in current year

if you’re not paying a fucking mint for a real IPv4 address never tell anyone, it’s a mistake.

luckily it never had it

that is such a good analogy

Atari teenage Riot still use Atari ST computers for their music…

Creatives literally cannot afford to use subscription software that could at any moment break your workflow for any or no reason.

anything worth doing is worth overdoing

No, they said recently

You have commitment issues with subscriptions.

I despise rent seeking behaviour.

we are not the same.

it depends on the content. a linear story should absolutely not be open world.

A survival sandbox literally can’t be anything else.

in which case there are already open source cars out there to download.
