GOG and itch’s approach to preservation is always gonna be limited by legality, you can’t keep a game on your platform if the publisher requests its delisting; ofc piracy isn’t constrained by this, so it’s inherently better at preservation

at least, since the games on there don’t have DRM, once you have them you keep them (and with GOG, you can also download offline installers that you can reuse on any computer you want). they make piracy (and therefore preservation) way easier in that way, because pirates don’t even need to repack the game!

why the fuck?

HEY! watch your language. it’s wh* the fuck

you forgot:

• making it mandatory for any 3rd party game to stay exclusive to the NES for 2 years, essentially giving themselves a monopoly
• suing to make cheating devices like the game genie illegal (they failed, thankfully)
• suing to make game rentals illegal (they also failed)
• introducing the lockout chip, normalizing walled gardens on consoles, as well as region locking

this is not trump being oblivious, this is trump being blatantly racist

i just use a debit card lol

the stats exist, you can check them instead of making shit up; the Latine vote was pretty close, but they still voted more for harris globally, tho i believe Latino men in particular voted ever so slightly more for trump

the only racial group who overwhelmingly voted trump, across men and women, and this is gonna SHOCK you!!, are whites.

whites voted for this; when are we rounding them up in concentration camps? when are we deporting them to europe?

thank you, I will!

thank you for your posts, it’s always a great time to read them!

i love that you share cool fan projects too! it’s inspiring me to make a physical collection for my GOG games, including actual DVDs with the games installers on them. most of the physical collection projects i see seem to only do the box, but i want to go all in!

take care 🧡

only Hypixel Studios, the dev studio behind Hytale that was bought by Riot, is shutting down

the Hypixel server isn’t going anywhere (for now, at least)

my point is that the narrative is being used to justify war with Iran: “we need to attack them harder before they get their revenge!”

by talking about “Iranian terrorists” as if that’s an actual threat, the media is contributing to that justification for war

ah, so the liberal media has already fully accepted the “Iranian terrorists are coming to kill us all!!!” narrative, huh

tbh, the real reason to use paper straws instead of plastic is that they’re much more biodegradable, not so much the CO2 use. we should use way less plastic in general, imo

and it bears mentioning that the CO2 released by private jets still pales in comparison to what the airline industry produces; the average global northerner’s overseas holiday is still very destructive for the environment (tho obviously not as much as a rich fuck using a private jet)

according to this wiki article, over its lifetime a plastic straw will release 1,46 grams of CO2, while a paper straw will release 1,38 grams of CO2. that’s a saving of 0,08 grams.

and according to this article, a private jet releases 4,9 kilograms of CO2 per mile.

so: assuming you are using one straw per day, a year of using paper straws instead of plastic straws offsets about 0,006 miles of one private jet, or a bit more than 10 meters.

that’s fun.

yes, this is what will happen, but don’t delude yourself into thinking this is new

what you describe has been the reality of agriculture (and other industries) for a while now, and not just in the US, it’s this way in canada too for example

then wtf does white even mean

nothing, that’s the whole point of whiteness

its a made up in-group created to justify and facilitate european colonialism

honestly surprised more than half of the apps on Flathub are verified! I expected it to be less

back before the redesign, it felt like most apps had “note: this wrapper is not made by, or affiliated with the original developers” somewhere

that only applies to white people, silly!

As true as this is, I will always down vote copypasta.
