remove your payment options, especially if you have connected PayPal, I removed it directly from PayPal because at this point I cannot even trust them to delete them correctly…

LISTEN TO ME PEOPLE OF THE EARTH

Don’t buy snacks, sad but true. I started going to a nutritionist and now that I only buy stuff on the meals plan I sometimes open the fridge, check it out, and close it without picking anything. I noticed that it’s also a habit now, and makes it easier to avoid snacks in general. Now, if only I had some weed available…

is your landlord blue and hairy?

macro transaction?

I tried it but it’s too hard, you cannot really chew it. Even if you make it softer it’ll get harder after a while (heh)

help me step-ceo, I’m stuck in the server rack

I’d never buy a game with microtransactions, but is there any viable financial alternative for an mmorpg?

I don’t expect much privacy on a shared public space like the fediverse. If I wanted privacy, I’d spin up a new profile every day/week, and use an external bookmark manager to save stuff

Have you tried opening an issue?

yeah, played GTA 2 last month. If you want to play it, you have to buy on key shops the GTA bundle which has it, also not available on steam anymore

I uploaded some music videos to odyssee, need to pick that up, I recently checked out my YouTube bookmarks and at least 1 third was not working anymore

sadly I don’t have easy access to weed, otherwise I’d buy a volcano

I already bought a Mighty, tho

a pillar in your ass

great stuff!

Dussy

I had a Samsung xcover 6 pro, dual Sim, removable battery, audio jack, micro sd

it was a bit big for my standards, I’m happier with my pixel now

In an unexpected turn of events, the downturn extended to server manufacturers

unexpected? servers are computers full of RAM

maybe the toucans on the sand?

People don’t want their library split on multiple stores. There’s always going to be a monopoly because of that, unless we start having multiple exclusives on different platforms. For videogames it’s accentuated by the fact that people want to be able to interact with friends, so they need to be on the same platform. Steam came first and had the best features, so they won.

Music? Spotify is in front of everything else

TV/Movies? This is the exception, as in this case there’s a lot of content that can be available on a platform and not the other. Netflix is still first, but if you look at the numbers the gap is lower.

I used to buy everything on gog, now with the steam deck I went back to steam. Yeah I know, I can use gog there too, but using steam is easier for sync etc. So, you see, steam made something amazing, the steam deck, and everybody copied it, but they were still the first.

If gog made a steam deck client with easy management I’d gladly go back to them. They still take a 30% cut but I’m happy to support DRM free games. Itch is also nice but they don’t have a lot of games (I do play 99% Indies).

IMHO there are no good or realistic solutions:

• lots of exclusives
• interoperability between stores, like the fediverse (this would actually be really cool)
• everybody sell games directly
• everybody goes back to buy physical
