They’re stupid and it’s frustrating that we have to deal with them or suffer global consequences.

It helps that I’m absolutely not a picky eater. Rice. Beans. Whatever random spices speak to me. Done. Content.

Not scared enough

There’s really no way I’m buying a PlayStation exclusive. Even if someone gave me a PlayStation for free, I’d hesitate.

Meh. Is it still going to have “you’re not high enough level to wear these pants” nonsense? Care more about that than cinematics.

Some are DRM free and can be backed up at your leisure. I’m pretty sure that’s up to the developer to implement or not.

It would be neat if steam let you sell a game back, but I’m not sure how to square that with “you have a drm free copy that’s trivial to copy”

A DM running a traditional game of D&D?

It’s just emotional chum for the right wing to stay frothy at the out-group. Even though many of them would benefit from DSA or further left policies, they’re drunk on group identity. (See also: every right wing accusation is a confession, “identity politics”)

I was going to point out how heroic launcher is fine, but that’s not a store.

That’s not really Valve’s fault that all the other storefronts don’t care to support Linux, though.

I’m not interested in reliving the past.

Guild wars 1 and 2 are good games. The second one is still very active.

Velocity is not helpful if you’re not pointed in the right direction, and even if you are pointed in the right direction it’s not useful if you overshoot your destination.

I made this metaphor at work but management is not interested.

Giving an incompetent team AI is like giving a child a chainsaw. Maybe he’ll chop wood faster but that’s probably not all that’s going to happen.

This is true but you have to remember that management is stupid. Stupid and cruel, but mostly stupid.

I mostly buy music from bandcamp. Drm free, different format options, you can stream before you buy (if the band has it configured as such)

This is part of why scumbags want to kill work from home.

I can finish a task in an hour and fuck off. Harder to do in an office.

They could also not be fucking counter productive management, and I’d keep working on stuff. But they’d rather have a bunch of pRoCeSs and nonsense.

Ah that’s interesting. I’m too much of a pack rat and the idea of selling some of my music makes me uncomfortable. Though I guess I have some games that were duds I wouldn’t mind selling.

buying drm-free digital media is probably also okay, if you back it up yourself.

i don’t do any subscriptions, myself.

Why not both?

Cool. I’m so tired of management huffing their own farts about AI.

If I was a talented writer I would consider a short story about someone getting onto the medical staff just to murder Zuckerberg.

Maybe some sort of rom-com where two people have done so and they suspect each other of being corporate bootlickers, but in the end they fall in love. And murder Zuckerberg.
