This seems like the most sane take.
A computer can do a lot. But if you give the computer to a regular fish instead of a regular human, that’s just a regular fish next to a computer. Not very useful.

Yeah, it’s wild to witness the embarrassments of my youth somehow coming back with a bang.
But it’s all subjective I suppose. I just hope we don’t do 80’s again

Fair enough, it’s certainly worse than the alternative.
However, when unable to exercise the alternative, it’s nice to have an option to still experience and play games.
- Comment on Can't play an EA game via geforce now 10 months ago:
I get your sentiment, and agree somewhat, but I was able to play it prior as well as later, even if I had to wait 24 hours. So I didn’t pay for nothing, and if you meant gfn, then I was still fully able to use the service for everything else.
However, I did make efforts to right the situation, which I think is much better than simply complaining and feeling robbed. Those efforts brought fruit, too, and I was back playing in an hour.
But I still do see your general point and agree in the sense that we really should fight for our rights, and if unable to do so, strive to better things for others, so they need not fight 😌

I did contact NVIDIA customer support too, but haven’t heard back since the ticket was not real-time chat. EA customer support was a chat though, and resolved the problem for me 😌
I’ll see what NVIDIA responds back. I think this might have some work for steam too, since I play this EA game via steam, but EA is not officially playable via GFN, but steam is. So I think there’s a lot of complications there to shift through.
I did try to contact steam too, but they have no contact info for this kind of problem, rather forwarded to EA.

Update: It seems requesting a password change from support side toggles the flag and lets you start the game again.
Unsure if this works multiple times, but at least for me, it worked, and this was my first time this happened.
Worth a shot people! If you ever find yourself on a similar situation
- Comment on Can't play an EA game via geforce now 10 months ago:
Thanks, though it’s not a huge deal. Just happen to have my vacation days now, and it would have been great time to play. I guess I have to figure something else out for today 🙈
Unfortunately I don’t think you can play this game without the EA launcher and DRM, so if one wants this experience, one has to also experience the entirety of EA with all of its malices and quirks…
- Comment on Can't play an EA game via geforce now 10 months ago:
Yeah, the problem is disk space. I have a mobile dev workstation, which means I don’t need huge amounts of disk space, so I cheaped on that aspect when buying it. Can’t fit the entire Legendary Edition on this thing, even if it could play it.
Did contact support, they can’t help with this. Hopefully it gets forwarded upwards enough so that at some point this is fixed.
- Comment on Can't play an EA game via geforce now 10 months ago:
Yup, this is likely the exact reason this happens. Oversight on their part. I contacted support and they told me they’d forward this further up The chain, I think this isn’t intended behavior for that safeguard lock, but rather stop account sharing or something like that.
Just need to check if running on gfn system and not playing an online game (which could have some problems with system hopping for bans or something maybe? Doesn’t seem likely but at least there’s a vector for malicious use, unlike in single player games), and if both are true, just skip the check.
We’ll see. I just got informed it’s a full 24h lock, and it’s set on the launcher servers somehow, which is not accessible on the account data. It’s launcher data, which means the customer support reps can’t do anything about it 😅
Just great stuff, EA never disappoints.

I feel for the sentiment and agree on most other occasions, but this one is literally about hiding your entire body, and in the current state of the world, the only ones having that very rule happen to also be the almost any other time too eagerly singled out “brown people”, as you said.
It’s not unfairly singling out, if it regards a thing only the target of the critique do.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
I don’t like OP’s strangely aggressive takes here, or their general lack of empathy in this regard, but I did not see them mentioning being a Christian or anything else, so this is just a moot and as such, an embarrassingly rehearsed point to raise.
“Someone else is almost as bad as this” is not the defense you may think it is. And I would bet most people on lemmy are either agnostic or atheist. So that’s just a hit and a miss as a whole.
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 10 months ago:
For me, it’s great. It’s like Reddit honestly, no matter how many would get offended by the comparison, but that’s how it feels to me. I wasn’t a power user there, and I haven’t been here.
I like reading and finding stuff, and that’s been fun and plentiful here too. The comments are much less numerous, but about the same in terms of their content. At least compared to how it was when I left Reddit, and it’s been a while now, maybe it’s changed.
If I want serious and informative and extremely helpful comments, I’ll hop to hackernews at yc. If so want to know what’s up around the world and see cute cats and a few interesting things besides, I’ll just open lemmy and do a short scroll. If I feel like I need a pick-me-up, I’ll read the comments in anything other than news articles regarding war or politics. I get the same feeling I did back in Reddit. There are legitimately funny comments and jokes and such here, and it’s great for what it is.
I haven’t tried tilde, though I did give it a peek back in the day. I feel perfectly at home and content here, combined with hackernews. It’s enough, and since I mostly just do short scrolls here and there and don’t really doom scroll, it’s just very nice.
I love being here, honestly, and have had no complaints after I got over missing Apollo (the client) and then, for a short period, Memmy.
Once the UX got close to what I like, with Voyager, it’s been nice and cozy.
Haven’t missed Reddit at all. I get the exact same experience here personally.

Well, our local feed here in lemmy.world is a wilder ride than most…
