It’s a good starting hypothesis. Maybe it won’t hold out, but you’ve got to start somewhere, and it’s a pretty safe assumption.

Reject lame government tracked cars, embrace true freedom with bikes 😎 no registration, no tracking.

They used to sell DVDs of their series

Someone just re-discovered that brand recognition is important.

Now maybe they’ll eventually also realize that people would rather own than rent… but, baby steps, I suppose…

But I can make my own thanks to the absence of DRM. I’ll be able to play my personal copy offline in 15 years.

I am. I just mostly buy my games on GOG.

The “Search” button is already AI mode 😂

That is impossible for disc based games afaik (rewritable discs are just physically different from normal ones, and much less durable) but for cartridges it absolutely should be possible.

It would also be cool if the cartridge also stored save data like they used to, for a true all-in-one experience.

No game on card ? No buy.

I’m willing to pay for games, in two circumstances :

1. A physical copy with a full working game on it (even if, understandably, it’s not the latest version)
2. A digital copy with no DRM

Nintendo obviously will never provide the second option, and if they also refuse to provide the 1st, I guess I’ll have to take my business elsewhere.

No full playable game on disk ? No buy !

Legalize all drugs to defund the cartels.

Have proper regulations in place to actually prevent minors from accessing them and guarantee there are no harmful additives. Make rehab free so that people don’t get stuck in there.

If morphine was legally obtainable, no one would be using fentanyl. Stop the arms race now.

Are there any games on this list that are not available on GOG ?

Can’t the police just take the license plate and file the ticket in later at the precinct ? That’s what they often do here in France afaik.

There is a correct way to do that but no one does it :

• Sell items for real currency directly
• No loot boxes
• No time limits, including battle passes. All items are always available for purchase.
• Every item purchasable individually outside of any bundle
• And of course, reasonable prices.

4 hours of focused work is generally the maximum, in my opinion. I usually add 4 more hours of low-intensity work on top, to keep up with all the administrative stuff etc.

This is highly dependent on sleeping well and eating healthily, though, and on taking at least one day off per week, if not two.

I’m of the opinion that working hard is foolish, I’m focused on working well. Some days I can do 5 hours, some days I can do 5 minutes. That’s okay, no work is always better than bad work.

I didn’t agree with Jacques Chirac over most things, but damn, he had some good lines…

Game Dollar will unlock new economic models for developers

I don’t know about you but I think there’s only two valid “economic models” for video games :

• ongoing subscription for MMOs specifically
• one-time purchase for every other game

Can confirm, as a woman, this is a very good idea. Having brightly colored hair actually communicates a few things at once :

• He’s confident enough to stand out
• He’s at least a little more open-minded than average
• He put some thought into his looks
• He’s not the stuck-up fun-hating “alpha male” type

I cannot stress that last point enough. These days, every girl I know has her radar set to max to get as far as possible from “alpha males”, because they’re just incredibly annoying, self-important pricks. The more you can do to signal you’re not one of them, the better.

That’s probably what I’m going to end up getting, but it doesn’t seem to have the same commitment to repairability FairPhone does.

I do like that I’m finally going to be able to make my own watch face so that I can be as weird as I want (chiefly, Solar Time and Feels-Like temperature)

Things seem to be moving the other way with the tariffs. Framework is not shipping to the US anymore, Fairphone is probably not even going to try.
