Is that code for “Rerelease Skyrim again”?

True

I agree, but we can’t really expect every person to have the space to store all of their favourite media. Especially now that AI has ruined the price of hard drives.
Given modern internet speeds, the ability to delete and redownload games is actually a handy feature of digital. Though given Sony’s track record of deleting “purchased” media from customers’ accounts, I sure as shit wouldn’t trust them. Hell, I barely trust Steam.

Think of all the remakes of PS5 games you could play!

The same horribly addictive cesspool it always was, really.

I wish I remember what young me used to do. What he used to wish he had the money to do. All that sort of stuff.
Because now pretty much all I do is work, scroll Reddit, and watch Youtube.
- Comment on What is your favourite gaming console you have played? 2 weeks ago:
Playstation 1
Over 4000 games, many of which are weirdly experimental because “how to make 3D games” wasn’t codified yet, and CDs gave developers about 20 times more space than they had on the biggest cartridges - not to mention the lower cost of production.
Also, most of the soundtracks are absolute bangers.

I meant it more as a general thing - I should have said “we” instead.
They actually seem pretty chill about it here in New Zealand. My dad and I had one ISP notice in the early 2000s, but I’ve downloaded absolutely shitloads since and we haven’t heard a peep.
Nowadays I tend to use Usenet anyway; the speed of even the healthiest torrents pales in comparison.
- Comment on When did the Internet come to reflect society? Or has society shaped the internet? Were we always distrusting mean and vindictive before the net? Are we really that bad? 2 weeks ago:
It’s been going on a long time. Penny Arcade coined the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory in 2004.
- Comment on 🤔 Interesting 2 weeks ago:
The worst part (maybe the second worst after all the slop poisoning the internet nowadays) is the proof that copyright law is only for us poors.
I download a copyrighted work and get a strongly worded letter from my ISP, or worse. They download all the copyrighted works; scrape the data from them; and charge for the ability to use said data to make slop, and get fabulously wealthy from it.

We could give them a name - like “temporal areas”, or something.

Linux can run off an HDD.
Hell, there are versions of Linux that are designed to be run off a USB stick.

The real euphoria is seeing somebody reference said post years after you deleted it.

How else would they play Switch 1 games?

People are still buying Switch 2?

worse positioning
Yeah, it wouldn’t be as steep - therefore less fun
- Comment on Enshittiflation 2 months ago:
Not only that, but you can’t even use price as a proxy for quality anymore. Choosing to splash out on something you want to last just means you’re going to be more disappointed when it eventually breaks.
- Comment on Knowing that boomers had the "hate my wife/husband" humor because they were rushed to marry borderline strangers and didn't believe in therapy but can't prove it 3 months ago:
After some unfortunate interactions with older coworkers, I’ve started thinking that so many shitty aspects of our work culture exist because working men wanted an excuse to be away from their wives and children.

Maybe she’s X Æ A-12’s sister. I didn’t know Elon Musk had another daughter.
- Comment on Why is AI so bad at coming up with dialogue? 3 months ago:
Because it’s glorified predictive text.
- Comment on Why is amperage more "obscure" than voltage (or watts)? 4 months ago:
While constant current sources exist, they’re very uncommon. A battery’s voltage is constant (or at least we consider it so), but the current it can supply is dependent on the load. In general, we consider current to be a result of voltage, to the extent that some teachers prefer that Ohm’s Law be written as I = V/R (rather than V=IR) to show this relationship more clearly (where I is current, V is voltage and R is resistance).
- Comment on Rayman 30th anniversary has save data bug and Ubisoft support says post launch support has ended 4 months ago:
It’s clearly a feature - the inability to save just enhances Rayman’s incredibly brutal difficulty.

…the same news that apparently isn’t reporting on it?

As far as I know, they don’t - I have tried reading OP’s comment about 5 times and I have no idea what they’re talking about.

Big LEGO for toddlers

…if it wasn’t reported on, how did you hear about it in the first place?
