Or even better, play an old game that you still haven’t played. I can get titanfall 2 for the price of a coffee and play it for the first time if I’m craving for a good AAA fps.

Looks at:

1. AAA games costing 100€+ between base game and season pass.

2. Online services on consoles constantly raising prices.

3. Consoles that, over the time cost more instead of less.

4. Wages frozen in time for years.

5. Rest of unrelated to videogames stuff but that drain people’s wages.

I WONDER WHY YOUNG PEOPLE SPEND LESS IN VIDEOGAMES…

Isn’t this news from 3 months ago?

I’m testing this this evening. My only gripe with soulseek is that if I want to download a playlist from spotify, I need to manually search for each song.

Soulseek is your friend. Setting up your library will be a tough step, but once done, you’ll feel so free that it will be worth it.

It can be quite simple: the government, under user request, can generate a certificate that only contains the fact that you are more than 18 years old and is stored locally in your device. Since it’s the state the one issuing it, the info of the cert can be trusted.

Then, when you log into a service requiring age verification, you log using your device that sends the info from your locally stored certificate, telling the website simply that you are not underage.

The state doesn’t need to know how are you using the cert, and the website won’t receive any personal info because the certification authority is a trusted organsation so the info about it is automatically trustworthy.

Storage on google drive comes to mind. Not that I pay for it, but I know it’s something others do.

As a general rule, if a corpo is against something the EU does, it means your government should do it too because it’s a good thing.

I’ve seen this at work.

We installed a new water sampler and they sent an official installer to set up and commission the device. The guy couldn’t answer a damn question about the product without chatGPT. When I asked a relatively complex question that the bot couldn’t answer (that was at the third question), I decided that I had enough and spend an hour reading the manual of the thing. Turns out the bot was making up the answers and I learned how to commission the device without the “official support”.

Days ago I discovered vacuumtube for steam deck. It’s basically youtube with tv interface but with all the adblocks. It works wonders in game mode and even has controller support.

Go figure. Probably they are going to monitor traffic somehow to see if you visit certain websites and if you stay on them for too long, they flag you as a pirate. I’m not concerned, I browse the internet through a vpn.

In Italy they are aiming to block not only soccer streams but any audiovisual content. And they are threatening to fine people using the sites, unlike before, when only the site owners could be prosecuted.

And you assumed it was me because… why? Lol mate, I haven’t reported you

That’s why we can have a woman as the pope, right?

Yeah they… are not good parents. They always were more interested in drinking than in growing their kids. And they both try to make you feel miserable because they now have understood that they lost their children due to their own selfishness and ego.

When he tried to make me feel bad for almost dying in another country, it was the thing that snapped and made me cut the already thin ties completely.

Apparently, going from europe to america buying the ticket at last minute is very expensive, they also had to add the stay in the hotel for one of them. For what he said, he spent around 9k euro on that trip (odd, i paid around 1500 for two people). Still, he threw that to me to make me feel guilty of their shitty spending habits. It was some years ago, when our relationship was already ice cold.

They both are shitty parents and now they wonder why I don’t talk to them.

Depends. If we take from when I was a kid? Probably something in the hundreds of thousands or even in the millions. I pirated pretty much everything because I lived in a very small town with no electronics shop so I couldn’t even buy games.

However, in the last 8 years or so? I find that I rarely pirate games anymore. Bundles, steam sales and refunds allow me to buy without worrying about liking the game.

Music is also something I don’t pirate anymore. I’m not one needing thousands of tracks, but rather a small and select collection. So I occasionally buy from bandcamp or other services so I can keep the music I want in my jellyfin server.

Films and shows are a different thing tho. At home whave netflix, so for most stuff we go there, but if something’s not there, I’ll pirate it. So… idk but… some hundreds? I’m not a fan of movies and most of the stuff I watch (which is not a lot) is on netflix.

I went on a trip to another country. Unfortunately, I had an accident (involving a fucking hurricane) that almost killed me.I had insurance so they covered all the medical expenses, including tickets and accomdations for one of my parents (aka: one of them could come free of charge). They decided that it was a good opportunity to visit the country since one was coming “for free” and they only had to pay for the other one.

Years later, my father told me that they are still paying the debt for the money they spent “because of me” when I had that accident so it was my fault they were in debt.

This was a nice read. I just discovered today these post and it was a great sum up of news. Keep up the good work!

Ohhhh raytracing is required? Awesome, I can’t play it so I guess I don’t even have a reason to follow it for price drops. Oh well, Selaco’s new campaign act is about to drop, I’ll guess I will give it a rerun instead of playing doom.
