[Id: News Article: "Ubisoft exec says gamers need to get comfortable with "not owning your games"

Ubisoft's director of subscriptions says that gamers need to start "feeling comfortable" with not owning the games they are playing"

Meme: "if purchase isn't ownership; then piracy isnt theft"]

The first time I saw that article, I said that if they're renting me games, I expect to be paying rental prices. But, now I'm thinking that Ubisoft maybe needs to feel comfortable with people not paying them at all.

I would like someone smarter about these things than me to talk about what's behind this recent (at least I think it's recent - the last decade or so?) rise in the US of like... state-based jingoism? You know, where people get very angry about "transplants" from out of state - particularly if they're from California or Texas or another large state - and blame them for changes in the region.

And you know, I have no doubt that this has always been a thing, but it feels, at least anecdotally, like it's getting more hostile. I didn't used to be cautious telling people I'm originally from California, but I'm a lot more careful about it these days.

#woolly rambles #like yeah dont get me wrong rich motherfuckers buying second and third homes and then demanding the community acquiese to them specifically #is a problem #but like most people in the US will move state at least once in their life #often becaude theyre priced out of their current region #idk its just starting to raise some red flags for me in a way it didnt before #but maybe this is how its always been and i am a dumny

Trying a Tzeetch playthrough in Total Warhammer and, like-

no idea what the narrator/tutorial dude's deal is, but I do enjoy that he's apparently just textually totally amoral and happy to work with literal demons as much as anyone else

'peck out the eyes of a god to claim his sight for themself' is a great motivation for an oracle-demon.

Tzeetch's strategic level fuckery is real fun.

On the battlefield still adapting to having demons who can throw enough plasma to melt a swarm of charging marauders but will crumple like tissue paper is any of them actually connect.

constantly caught between royalty Heron being a horrible person and also being like… god forbid women do anything.

#Idk she is awful #I don’t want to redeem her but I want her to be redeemable #Maybe not redeemable that’s not the right way to say that #just…. understandable. maybe #she’s a very very extreme example of generational trauma #While also being someone who went right along passing it to the next person without a thought #because like as horrible as she is to Mads and the rest of the kids she was treated just like that growing up in their horrible system too #So idk. She’s complicated and I love her #Always wanting to yell ‘YAS QUEEN LITERALLY SLAYYY’ while then pausing to be like ‘no wait she whipped children remember’#She was trained to be sadistic so there’s the understanding of yeah of course she’s like this while also #She’s taken no time to stop and realize this is awful or want to make a change. she doesn’t see the problem with it and that in itself #Is a problem #madfen royalty au #ducktales #ducktales 2017 #dt17 #duckverse #Royalty rambles #black heron

Had a nice heart to heart with my sister that basically summed up that as soon as I stop needing to care for my grandparents we will need to start caring for our parents, and that I have zero mental boundaries set for what my handling threshold is.

#she literally asked me 'is that how bad your mental health is?' and #idk i feel like our family is way overdue for a sit down chat.#we never have them. we never talk about any serious seriously as a family where everyone contributes and that #is a problem #i think its where my communication problems come from. be we dont talk about anything ever.#oh lord i could hit something right now.

sometimes you gotta follow a bunch of artists in fandoms you don't know or care about because you need some diversity, dammit.

#the fact i can't find artists that regularly draw asian characters #outside of kdrama/cdrama fandoms #is a PROBLEM #where are they all hiding what is the secret to finding them #weeping for my mess of a dash rn

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

#i am so sick of writers having to anticipate the most boring #bad-faith readings of their work. i am like - if you use cheese as a currency #okay! as long as the world makes sense to me: cool. cheese tax. moving on.#my job as the reader is to suspend my disbelief and say okay! i am so sick of like #fanfiction authors having to write dissertations #because they had an interesting idea they'd like to try out!!!#just write it! if it doesn't make sense that's someone else's problem!!!#PS OP is autistic. yes sometimes i take things literally at first glance. then i think about it lol #this is so clearly not about accessibility etc. it's about like. girl even i an autistic person #am able to understand ''they probably didn't mean his eyes darkened LITERALLY''

Do you ever write a sentence and then realize “Nah, that’s too self aware for you” and backspace a bunch of times.

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?

Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".

My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.

#information death of the internet etc #legit this has been SO SO helpful #shout out to mastodon infosec server for this one #before 2022 we did not really have the AI-content-farms because. the tech did not exist to the public.#and you can knock back the date if need be #obviously this does not FIX the problem but #me.txt
