Companies put weird restrictions on quality to encourage pirating… company logic in nutshell…

As a gamer since early 90s I decided to look through my played games list of at least 256 games, avg year of the game release is 2005, oldest I’ve played is from 1981 and newest is 2023. By the decades:

• 80s - 10 games (actually more but I did not record them all)
• 90s - 51 games
• 2000s - 113 games
• 2010s - 72 games
• 2020s - 10 games

About play time… I play mostly pre2020 stuff, mostly minecraft (lol) and playing all the good classic stuff I’ve missed since 3d era, finished Thief 1/2 recently. I actually trying to find something new I like since I bought decent gpu, but it is hard… I don’t care about Fortnite/Overwatch/CS2 (CS 1.x + bots/Source ftw)/AnyGameWithLargeSword. Meme about buying $ XXX gpu just to play Terraria is real.

Finally? Why does it need an app all of a sudden…

It will trigger a whole new phase of enshittification.

RSS is my everyday goto, I’m using QuiteRSS with filters for specific words, really neat one.

Do not buy inkjet printers, it is a scam! I dumped mine long ago even with after market ink, it is just a hassle to upkeep it.

I assume lots of Gen Z can only afford like 2 liters of gas anyways let alone a car…

I kinda expected nsfw ai generated pic of Santa …

GOG, buy music in mp3/flac format, not sure about video. I guess you can pay for subscription and just pirate stuff you like to keep real ownership.

“15 minute” suburbs should fix the need of large ass SUVs and such but somehow authorities resist this, like they have a stake in this 🤔 15 minutes cities/villages is a common and logical thing around the world yet in US it is weird… like americans want to drive 20 minutes for fucking 1 liter of Pepsi… Now when car prices are insane more of them wake up. Suburbs should have places to go to, shops, parks, schools
