  Yeah, Miyasaki once mentioned that From staff is very much interested in doing something about Bloodborne again.

  Well the damage is done and now we need that water.

  Reminds me of that quote „one who isn‘t leftwing in youth is heartless, one who isn’t rightwing when an adult is thoughtless“ (say only old men that smell their own farts)

  ok but this specific source is quite sober

  Would you prefer researchers to not publish results?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Even on Steam I‘ve never bought a game with always online DRM. Is that really still a thing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course, and many singleplayer games had multiplayer modes, that stuff wasn’t necessarily separated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I really can’t bother.

  I kinda miss the 90s

  GOG allows you to download an unprotected installer. I don’t think they will ever go beyond that in the name of fair use and big publishers are reluctant enough to release on GOG. You were about to use a 3rd party app anyway, Discord. Just use WeTransfer or another filehoster/cloud service to send the file.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And in principle I’m fine with an online store that only sells conventional, offline singleplayer games to not give a pickle about service games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Every solution that doesn’t need an external proprietary app is a better solution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think they have even one game in their catalogue that StopKillingGames is about.

  all this stupid publicity makes me feel dirty for buying there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China's humanoid robots take centre stage for Lunar New Year showtime⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ll need basic income funded by a robot tax and some sort of wealth tax until then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Wins $6 Million in Damages Against Pirated DVD Stores, Plus Domain Takeovers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It probably doesn’t because they are not gonna pay it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The U.S. Is Launching a Regulatory Assault on Drone Users | New restrictions try to shield ICE from being watched from above.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a hundred good reasons to regulate drones, and this must be the worst.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The EU Moves To Kill Infinite Scrolling⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We are well past the point where the client decides how hypertext looks. You are talking about feed readers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The most common bloatware we found on laptops and how to get rid of them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wasn’t talking about myself. Empathy is not a techie’s forte.

  no thank, I’m good

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Death Stranding 2 for PC and lots more from Sony State of Play (February 2026)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The most common bloatware we found on laptops and how to get rid of them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people can’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The most common bloatware we found on laptops and how to get rid of them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok I’m with you that only removing the bloatware is bad advice, but my point stands that many people don’t have any of these options. And I’d argue that getting spied on by ad agencies is better than being left behind at the digital divide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The most common bloatware we found on laptops and how to get rid of them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All true, but most users don’t have the know-how or ressources to change anything about their OS so they’re stuck with that, bad idea or not. Their alternative would be using no PC at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The most common bloatware we found on laptops and how to get rid of them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So most people shouldn’t be using PCs anymore, or…??

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If your stupid gadget needs a separate proprietary app that demands internet access, anticipate that all data is shared for all kinds of shady business.

  Corporate needs to find you the difference between ARPG fans and meth addicts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Start-up idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But, don’t ever say that a lot of what you own can’t be repaired.

  I‘m not saying that. I try to repair my shit. I‘m saying don’t be so condescending because self repair is not an option for most people if they‘ve full time jobs and kids, and need to learn a few things in the first place.

  It‘s not really censorship, and comments of mine were deleted for less. Maybe not in this community, but I really can’t keep track.
