i wish recipes came with volumes like they should say this makes 5L of curry you need a 5L pot for this recipe. instead they just say how many "servings" it is well that depends on how much you like to eat innit

when u and someone else both hate the same thing for the same reason

[recreationaldivorce]

it is so weird how often i ask clarifying questions bc i genuinely dont understand something and im accused of "playing dumb" like is it just me. i feel like this cant be universal otherwise you wouldnt think im playing dumb if you also constantly get falsely accused of doing so. idk why you wouldnt just answer the damn question even if i were playing dumb it takes the same amount of breath for you

“YOU MAY DIE WITHIN HOURS.”

That is what a doctor told me today.

Unfortunately, the countdown to my discharge from the hospital in Gaza has begun because the treatment I need is unavailable.

If I cannot afford treatment, my siblings may soon bury their brother. Please help before that day comes.

u can easily buy a physical storage medium of ur choice and burn a digital copy of a game to it if not for drm & other anti user measures. u dont need the game company to burn the disc for you lol

[rlyehtaxidermist]

"if not for drm & other anti user measures" is a hell of a load-bearing "if not", especially in the console world, and doubly especially for anything online. While in an ideal world, we'd be able to make as many copies of anything we own, the amount of technical effort that goes into it is out of scope for a lot of people, even on reasonably straightforward platforms like the late Nintendo 3DS.

Unfortunately, a lot of those people will go and buy digital-only releases and be used as an example of "revealed preference" for empty boxes with no games in them.

So please: If you dislike the elimination of physical releases, and can't get someone to pirate the game for you, don't buy it. If you buy it, they'll assume that you wanted digital-only all along.

[recreationaldivorce]

The point of the post is that the problem is DRM & other anti-user measures. It's supposed to be load-bearing. That's the point. Not that you can just buy digital copies as an equivalent to owning a physical copy.

[rlyehtaxidermist]

That's not how the original post scans, though: the only mention of DRM is as an aside to talking about burning your own copy. The second sentence is all about burning discs. To paraphrase, "You can burn a disc, if not for DRM. You can burn a disc." to me is not a statement about DRM.

Materially, most people do need the game company to burn the disc for them, because they do not have the tools to burn their own. It's a crime to give them those tools. Framing this as an easy solution to the deprecation of physical media just comes off as condescending towards users and dismissive of the amount of effort that it takes to actually bypass these systems.

[recreationaldivorce]

I'm not framing burning your own discs as a solution. It's weird that you're coming into my house and telling me what I meant by my own words... Make your own post
