Sorry guys, we still have to pay some of you.

So I'll just give friends a copy instead. Oh that is so much worse than having to share a DVD around...
GOG has been so much better than optical media for well over a decade at this point. You can't easily backup your physical games. I can backup my game installers, not just GOG either but they are the most popular IIRC. But I got Factorio DRM free directly from Wube.
Second hand SSDs are getting kinda tempting tbh. But even they have seen their prices rise. Wish I bought all of the 512GB ones I saw for £10 each now. Got plenty of SATA ports, why shouldn't I use them?
Years ago I was tempted to get a 4TB SSD for data storage as prices were getting reasonable and I just kept thinking wait for it to drop a bit more. Now 4TB HDDs are pushing the same price SSDs were back then. Fuck.
My PC is currently 512GB SSD boot drive and 3TB LVM from a 1/2TB HDD. Those HDDs are getting pretty old now so I probably should replace them at some point but I resent having to pay the prices they ask right now. Maybe I should just uninstall half of my steam library that I realistically won't play any time in years or ever again. Reduce my storage needs. Data backups only take like 50GB or so.
Standard American build quality
Not like American EVs ... Oh hang on, another bit fell off a cyber truck
Wages here are higher than ever. We are not all Americans
Ahh is that how they are going to get the US to prop up AI companies. Lol. Glad I am not paying for that shit.
I was activating office installs for customers from the early 2000s not that long ago. Wtf happened that they are now disabling 2019?
As AI gets better this is increasingly true too. Back when it was irregular fingers it was a lot easier. And tbh, there is plenty of AI content I don't really mind.
Its often ok. It doesn't have to be great if there is little to no high quality human made content to compare it to in the same niche. I don't think any human artists have made an album about the Isstvan massacre.
