I bought a 3070 and a pair of 1440 gaming monitors, maybe $1000 total, and I feel like an asshole not having time to play my favorite games.

Gotta get those stock buybacks to raise the “value”!

Microsoft already decided to give them for free to everyone.

Source?

Sometimes day to day life sucks, we need to escape into games we like and look past all the privacy and annoying bullshit. But when nearly all games are this way, easy to step back and go “wait a minute…”

When (not if) enshittification takes over, I’ll pirate their shit.

If you’ve got custom maps from the workshop, it can easily top 10GB

Now this is one game that will never get uninstalled from my system. Ran a few servers back in the day too. Loved the simplicity, built a new computer when l4d2 came out.

Lol “ultra modded”. New Vegas has a mind of it’s own in vanilla.

And remote bricking!

Agree. Maybe reinstall the game, see if there is any bullshit running in the background you’ve installed and forgot about that may be eating resources.

I know world war z will act stupid as hell and crash if you alt+tab out at any point while loading (can do it anytime after game is loaded), could be something simple like that.

Earthbound

Secret of Mana

Speedrun

Normally yes, but might as well blame it on something and raise the prices while everyone else.

Exactly the same. I think them using Left 4 Dead as a selling point is what ruined it. It should have just been its own game should not have even mentioned Left 4 Dead

Yeah, with L4D I can just jump in. Within 60 seconds I’m in a match and playing. It’s an arcade shooter so comparing B4B to L4D was wrong.

God I was so excited and I liked the idea of the random card difficulties, but fuck I couldn’t figure out how to get into it. Bought that shit cause I have like 5000 in L4D 1 and 2 and love them. But B4B dissappointed me so much.

One way to fix this is buy your own domain and own all the email accounts.

Man I loved sunset riders and area 51 on the arcade.

Fallout 4

But they production cost has gone way down with digital releases, no more shipping and inventory in many cases. Can reach way wider audiences with just internet. Plus all the kids that grew up gaming in the 90s now have money.

They made $2 billion in profits in 2023 in their gaming division. Sony can suck my tiny little dick dick, and I’ll even dip my nuts in soy sauce just so they can get a taste of home while they’re at it.

Most don’t know, don’t care, just want more games.

Never video games, but I came in second my only ever Magic the Gathering competition, was probably 1998 or somewhere around there. Was a counter spell/horseshoe crab deck. Lost against a very similar deck.

Fallout 3 and NV.

What about the 1000 rape/SA movies? Should those be removed too? I love a good revenge movie where the women come back and fuck up their attackers.

I’ve never played any games like the ones removed, but the principal still stands, when they decide people shouldn’t buy or own something, they just block it?

What happens when they decide anything homosexual should be blocked? Or anything non Christian? Or anything regarding BLM? who the fuck are they to say ANYTHING at all?

Hot sauce has a HUGE market, large variety of clients and brands, I’m sure one had the word “sex” or “boob”, something like that that made them block it. Pretty sad.

It’s funny they want us to BUY games and not pirate, then literally remove any method to purchase it. Just stay on your ship in the seas.

I understand. And my point still stands. Fuck them (cc processors)

Agreed. Game and movie ratings already exist, who the fuck are they to say what we can/can’t access with MY credit card.

I don’t play those games nor use itch.io, but fuck this nonsense.

Far cry 3 was amazing. Blood dragon “expansion” was the shit too.

I sang this to the tune of Zach Morris is Trasaash

Try that. There also other ways to bypass sign in, but can’t link them at the moment. Google will help.

And I’m my moral code. Make the games available or stfu, we’re going to emulate it.

Almost like illegally obtaining evidence

I learned my lesson.

Yeah, it was not fun. I might have 5 hours into it. I really liked the idea, but it fell hard for me.

Same. I bought it on launch and hated it. And I love the zombie games.

It always existed with credit cards.

Dude, after goldeneye it hit the spot hard. Loved perfect dark.

Superman 64 does NOT. It’s memory is enough to topple a nation.

It’s for precedent on future games and to sneak in shit for later. Wittle down your expectations and privacy, make it “normal”.

You think that will stop this from spreading like cancer?

They’ve been my best friend for years
