yeah, and i always come back just after a patch that cancels all my contracts and erase all my roads driven and jobsites discovered :\

ah goddamnit… now I gotta reinstall one of the truck simulators, don’t I?

shit… I was in the middle of playing something else, too.

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin…

If you like 4x games, I would suggest X3:Terran Conflict/Albion Prelude from Egosoft. Its older, so wont be a burden,(CONTROVERSIAL OPINION ALERT) and probably the last good game from egosoft (/CONTROVERSIAL OPINION ALERT)

Space game set in a huge world with multiple factions and in a breathing world that can and does change with time with or without your actions… hundreds of hours of gameplay, with options for building your own empire… and its got a huge modding scene that can make it even more alive.

Once you start getting your personal economy going, you can take a more macro chill approach to the game, you can sit in a mothership issuing fleet commands and letting the AI handle everything, or you can get right into the cockpit of a corvette/fighter and dogfight yourself. While building massive station complexes to produce goods to sell and generate funds with… or to build your own ships and fleets with.

making an IT professional scratch their head and go “What the… how…?!” is almost a badge of honor.

Yep. I’ve had so many digital CDs and game downloads I’ve bought on Amazon (not recently, long time ago), and amazon basically went “Welp, we’re not carrying this shit anymore, fuck you its gone” so all the games I paid for, gone and can no longer access.

All the music I paid for, gone and can no longer access.

Digital downloads are a scam, digital goods are not owned goods as long as you need to have someone elses server be accessed in the process.

There has to come a point with this shit where you just roll your eyes and blame the people who were dumb enough to invest in this shit, again.

Hell, this isnt even the first time Amazon has taken away games you purchased on Amazon.

Don’t worry, for just 50 dollars a month you can subscribe to the basic peasant tier version of GeForce NOW that entitles you to a whopping 4 hours of game play per month, as long as its played between the hours of 3am and 4am local time.

Thats has hardware thats 4+ years out of date, and was already long since showing its age with running newer released stuff.

Its a neat device, but its… at this point… an old neat device.

Same reason scalpers struggled to keep stock of cards being sold at 4x the price during covid, which directly lead to nvidia and AMD skyrocketing prices the second stock stabilized.

The world is full of idiots who have more money than sense, who make terrible decisions with no thought of the consequences or ramifications.

thats less of a USB issue and more of a cheap ass knockoff manufacturer issue.

by putting them out of his misery.

on a totally unrelated topic, but harbor freight is a great place to get affordable tools.

Looks like it’d be a great way to play the same save and keep progress between my retropie, my modded n3dsxl, and my PC.

if only i wasnt too lazy to set it up.

Rimworld, obviously.

What other game lets you enslave your enemies, harvest their organs, sell the organs for profit, then eat what remains of the enemies?

I don’t recall ever seeing an add on prime videos.

Then again, I don’t dip my internet wick without protection, either.

No.

What is doing more harm to the environment is people paying for prime, and giving amazon the money to build more data centers, and to drain more drinking water supplies to cool them. 🙄

oh my god, that website design.

Its just like launch day steam.

god I miss that ugly babyshit green interface so bad.

Amazon gives out free prime all the time.

I think I’ve had 2 one month free primes, and 1 free week of prime, so far this year. Of course I take it, and burden their servers by leaving shit streaming as often as I can, with absolutely no return on investment for them.

Nah, its the Hydra of streaming.

You subscribe, thinking you’ve won, and you just have 9 other things pop up to have to subscribe to under prime to actually watch what you want to watch.

Gotta have subscriptions in your subscriptions, so you can subscribe while subscribing.
