April 21Apr 21 What I've purchased is mine to keep. The Black Geyser developers have launched a Kickstarter campaign for another RTwP RPG in the setting: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/grapeocean/avaria-iron-ruleThe game is not related to Avaria: Chains of Lust.

I still maintain games deserve to die though.They will, in good time - when the required hardware and software stop being easily usable and there's no-one left (publishers/developers with intent to continue to sell OR independent third parties willing to put their free time into fixing things) to support those games for anything newer, same as it has always been. Everything will die or disappear that way eventually, and some that nobody much cares about already has. But letting a publisher arbitrarily decide the when and where because of the way they've deliberately engineered their games to fail and be unusable? Well, it'd be in line with nobody owning their music, movies, or television anymore and how some things released only on streaming services can permanently disappear from them just for tax write-off or royalty avoidance purposes, I suppose...except for all the dread pirates ripping and distributing them as local files that anyone can own and do what they want with, of course. Edited April 22Apr 22 by Bartimaeus Quote Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.
April 23Apr 23 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
Wednesday at 10:27 AM1 day If there is still anyone, who missed this news, Sony added new DRM to PS4 and PS5 to newly purchased digital games. Seems like “license” for new digital games is valid only for 30 days. And I have already seen someone claiming with screenshot included, that the issue is also affecting new PS3 digital purchases. If this is the case, I would not be surprised, if this would also affect Vita as well. Sent from my Stone Tablet, using Chisel-a-Talk 2000BC.

Wednesday at 02:48 PM1 day Isn't Steam doing the same thing, though? At some point your token runs out and you will have to reconnect to the internet? "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
