Do you want Delamain?

Because that's how you get Delamain.

You just know this is the one car that Elon designed personally, like that episode of the Simpsons where Homer bankrupts his brothers car company, only real life doesn't actually punish idiocy.

They need the list of who's been naughty and who's been nice.

Or is that the other fella?

Amazon is both a subscription and purchasing platform. There's no option to download them, only stream. Purchases are not tied to a subscription.

I mean that's fair, an actual subscription is different to buying. Nobody is suggesting you "own" the games you get with PS Plus Premium, or the movies you watch on Netflix.

But if I buy a movie on Amazon Video for £9.99, it should be mine. And when I'm bored of it, or find myself suddenly owing £10,000 to a local gangster due to a hilarious mix-up during a backstreet game of high-stakes poker, I should be able to sell it on to somebody else like I can with a disc.

It's high time laws protected us from this. Yes, even from High Lord Gaben.

If we buy it, we own it. We can transfer them to other account. Any stores selling stuff must have a plan in place for what happens when the store closes, whether that's transferring ownership to another store, or something involving making files publicly downloadable...

The good thing about being on an out of date OS. No more fucking updates.

Probably because it's been overtaken by exhausting far right narratives pushed by the companies themselves.

My Facebook page doesn't even show me stuff from people I actually know any more. One of my cousins had a baby, it didn't even show me that. Instead what it thinks I want to see are badly written posts about immigrants and "lefties" being to blame for everything, as if the UK government is left wing in any way at all...

Aren't they using low accuracy FP units that aren't suited for gaming anyway?

It really is just Ali Express with better delivery times these days.

I cancelled Prime and just buy a lot less shit I don't need.

Bad take. They'll give you an install disc and then make you enter an account locked code to access it anyway.

Demand digital rights instead, before a big player goes bust. Because at some point that will happen, and you'll lose more than a handful of discs.

My favourite part of the Backrooms movie is where he says "It's backroomin' time".
