The disc at this stage is somewhat symbolic, its the line that sand against the anti consumer practices being pushed by the platforms.

We have trusted them and during that they have:

  • They have sleptwalked users into accepting digital over physical.
  • They have infiltrated many areas of game production and monopolized
  • They have normalised subscriptions for many areas of gameplay....

And now they are getting pretty bold of what they want.

  • You will have to verify your identity
  • The products you 'bought' can be taken away from you at the platforms discretion
  • You will have to be online to play the products you purchased...and you will need to pay for that service.
  • They can charge what they want for the games and there is no competition to weaken prices
  • You will pay more for your device with less features

They are testing the tolerance with this. This is not about the physical disc. Its about saying enough!

Yep, the amount of acceptance is disheartening. i hope those console gamers keep taking it so pcs still have a tad of affordability.

This is what i am hoping. Windows is still MS and their anti gaming bull.

He’s been getting into some beefs lately. They seem to be more from the side of others.

The 2027 bingo board gonna be wild. I am hoping we will see the pope vrs tech vampire mma style fight.

Yes. I just think the concept is more imagined as a sentient entity making an error rather than overconfidence or incompetence with the tool at hand.

And of course we all know it will be used as a scapegoat regardless. Question is what’s the magic number of humans lost to confidence in the machine ratio, before pushback occurs. It sounds horrific even typing it.

That implies an actual AI when the truth is in current form human error using the tool behind it.

Personally I am more concerned by it will be used by design of the techbros who are pretty open in their desire to be rid of some of the masses. Supporting emerging wars just masks their part….for now.

Sight as a service

So many categories. It all tastes average, is tiny and expensive. Cooking and eating with simpler ingredients and less processed stuff is actually quite freeing in a weird way.

Making soups has become a really fulfilling one of my cooking challenges I set myself. Tinkering with veg soup and getting slightly different variations each time has been a journey. Extra bonus is there’s always tons so there is always some in the freezer for days I cannot be bothered.
