LMAO did they fucking do the light gray boba Fett for the stupid statue set but not the $500 sail barge from the other year. god

My only advice regarding emulation or whatever of older platforms is this: Yes, you could just dump an entire platform's library in a folder. But I recommend curating. Because the person gloating about having the entire SNES catalog on their Raspberry Pi is probably only playing Super Mario World.

I'm tempted to do the math on how long online services tend to last and do it retroactively, like "if the playstation 1 had existed in a time when digital only games were possible, Sony would have deleted all your games back in 2003"

ok that's my contribution to the Topic of the Day, I'll shut up please make lots of videos of your post-2028 Sony games, because in another decade or so that's all we'll have to remember them by, and I'd like for future video game history to at least be something we can attempt

Sony is opening up bold new ground in the video game market by releasing direct to lost media

as a video game archivist, all I can say is I'm looking forward to the PS6 being the first video game console were we've lost 100% of the games library!

Sony: we are getting rid of game discs forever fuck you Microsoft: our next console cant even read game discs fuck you Nintendo: Samus is BACK and BOY, is she HUNGRY

Congratulations Sony, you drowned in the rain faster than Microsoft died to blood loss post slamming their dick in the car door.

Remember: If you can't play it without an internet connection, you don't own it 💿

the average cis person considers minors using hrt to be morally equivalent to waterboarding torture - so for that reason alone you really should stop talking to these fucking journalists about Anything even vaguely related to diy in any way whatsoever

this after they announced that hundreds of movies you may have bought from them digitally have now been un-purchased with no refunds

I guess they weren't expecting such a hungry gal.

Reposting because of the sony news

I don't wanna be like "just play old games" but like there's a lot of old games y'all

video games are supposed to come in a little box and cost 3 lunches at most and still be playable even if your dog ate your router cables and we need to boil everyone in the industry who forgot these facts

Microsoft this week: We're laying off half the industry. Sony: We're ending physical games. Nintendo: have u seen this splatoon weapon we call it the bloblobber

You can now make your own custom phone case at any of these NEW machines in Little Tokyo Los Angeles! Is this the best phone case of all time?

I keep seeing people thinking this is a bluesky problem. If you're seeing this it thinks you're in a state or country with age verification laws. This is what every social media site will do if KOSA and the KIDS Act succeeds. Running to another socmed won't fix it, we have to fight the source.

I personally wouldn't announce killing off physical media in the same week that digital purchases have been delisted from accounts without refund but

Turns out “not fighting a war that’s being waged against you” is also known as wilfully losing. A strategy nobody with your best interests at heart would ever advocate for. The liberal insistence on having to sacrifice us has always been an example of liberalism being the recuperative arm of fascism

It's the final day of pride month. No matter what our enemies do, remember:

alright well. no more PlayStation ever again then. not supporting that turgid bullshit

Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles. "Physical game disc production for all new games releasing on PlayStation consoles will be discontinued starting January 2028." https://ow.ly/3NSn50ZjcKP

if you are uncomfortable with trans people in your spaces, you do *not* have a legitimate safety concern. you are transphobic, and using your personal discomfort to restrict the abilities of someone else, just because *you* aren't *personally* comfortable with it.

oh will this hurt cis people? cis people are making their bed, they can fucking lay in it. protect trans girls.

Police brutality by SFPD over the weekend led to the arrests and injury of dozens of trans people in San Francisco. Donate to help with their medical and legal fees here: www.gofundme.com/f/support-tr...

look at our fucking "allies", two liberal justices agreed that title IX doesn't protect us. they didn't even have to say it, they aren't fighting for re-election their position is for life they just hate us.

someday you'll all stand up for trans women, but it'll only be after blaming us for how annoying the crunch of our bones strewn across the dirt is to the peace you cherish so dearly

liberals are still doing this today and only talking about how this decision will affect cis girls and not about how the supreme court just made discrimination against an entire group legal

we're a disabled trans couple who's been struggling financially for 2 years.

Instead of giving Democrats running for office who don't plan to do anything about the Supreme Court why don't you give me, a trans woman living in WV, money instead?

People, for the love of God, please stop treating birthright as some kind of sweeping victory. It was 5-4 on the constitutional issue. The dissent laid out a fucking ROADMAP for what Trump should do next. The court always gives Trump multiple bites at the apple WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT?

Cis people, THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU. STOP MAKING THIS ABOUT YOU. Yes, I'm aware this will be bad for everybody. But yall couldn't even wait one fucking day before stealing attention away from all of us who need help

politicians would rather ban children from social media than prosecute a single billionaire funding and operating an on demand csam generator

Black trans will die with no help I is need 591$ for safe place I am black I am trans I need helps I will die with no helps I am beg with my life please let me matter I has no one no family

"Trans people will always exist." Cool. "They can't kill us all." Comforting. Yeah, transness will survive, but *I* want to survive, too, y'know? But also, survival and existence aren't enough for me anymore, and they shouldn't be enough for allies either. I want to see my trans friends thrive.

The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃

I don't think people understand the degree to which outlets like The Atlantic and The New York Times set back trans rights with second-rate reporting that doesn't stand up now, let alone in the future. They have failed at the most basic journalistic duties.

> can't refill my adderall prescription until I have 5 left or less > doc can only write me one month at a time, despite taking it for several years > clinic still acts confused and/or offended when I call them repeatedly with escalating tension, begging to talk to someone who can send in the refill

The other day, I stumbled across a t-shirt that said "the trans agenda is an average lifespan," and boy, if that doesn't sum up a lot.

"Sex is an immutable ..." Nope.

Are you naive or stupid? Because the philosophy and propaganda of trans segregation is advanced by focusing on existing spheres that are sex-segregated and hot-button, i.e. bathrooms, prisons, sports. This is obviously not just about athletes. It's about denying legibility and recognition.

this whole online ID verification push stuff is turning me into a weird crank at rapid speed because I've never seen such an unpopular policy forced through with such speed in so many countries simultaneously with basically zero real consent from any population, just pure elite collusion

"Elon Musk is being a disgusting Nazi bitch, so instead of punishing him, we're going to punish YOU instead and take away YOUR freedom. Because we would never play hardball with a billionaire."

narrowing section 230 ensures only giants like meta have the resources to allow for people to post on their platforms while everyone else has no choice but to end their user-created content platforms. this is just big tech trying to make the internet consist of only their walled gardens

This is literally why there's a bipartisan effort to remove internet access from young people. It's an attack on queer people, leftists, and anyone who questions authority. They don't want our children finding out that MLK and Frida Kahlo were socialists or that Stonewall was a riot.
