Phone controls are trash though, touch screen is never good.

I mean, except it’s not a conspiracy. The death of physical media is an actual tragedy because digital media is nowhere near as free.
It’s to the point where much of the media I love is actually not available legally and officially for physical ownership, in some cases becoming actual lost media physically, and not available for purchase or even download anymore.
Companies absolutely want to control the consumption of media in more restrictive ways that they can control, it’s not a conspiracy, it’s the actual truth.
DRM, always online, digital only, subscription services - they are all designed to remove you further and further from being an owner.
Everything from video games, music, movies…all entertainment media is moving in this direction and it’s an actual tragedy.
I mean, even Google AI says it’s not bad, and in concept I kinda agree. I’ve had bacon donuts before and it was legit
I took out a loan, but the service request was in my partner’s name. It’s my phone, but now I’m getting crazy crypto spam WhatsApp stuff in her name, along with home security spam and other spam I never got before. Since it’s coming to my phone, in their name, either or both companies sold me / us out and we were getting calls within days.
Poor Starbound, forgotten to the ages…
Actually technically covers require royalties, whether they’re on a CD, or performed at someplace seedy.
They’re not the time honored tradition you think they are.
It wasn’t even that long ago. I bought tons of discrete parts from RadioShack like, even up to 8 or 9 years ago. They had these drawers full of things, pots, LEDs, ICs, sensors, motors, dials.
The Jaguar lied with the truth, and I say this as someone who still owns one.
Literally untrue I promise, even worse, you’re extra wrong because the PSX is actually the name of a Japanese specific set top entertainment box that also played PS2 games and was the introduction of the XMB ( Cross Media Bar ) interface that the PSP and PS3 both used.
The small PlayStation did have the official designation of PSOne though.
For some perspective, CD trays, like the PS2 and Xbox had, that retracted mechanically were viewed as sleek and futuristic, and that’s why slot loaders like the Wii and PS3 gained traction too.
It was an aesthetic choice, like the move from green LEDs to blue, though that has historic significant as blue LEDs are a relatively recent invention as the were incredibly difficult to figure out, so blue LEDs were seen as futuristic and opulent and used in everything consumer electronics for a while.
I bought some games for it, but never the console
I feel the exact same way. I know a lot of people who have been, and I never did. I guess I assumed it would be around until I finally went.
I was wrong.
No, I don’t think you understand, sorry. They might actually if we don’t watch carefully, who is to say?
Didn’t Ukraine get invaded during other such drills? Wasn’t it a ‘special military operation’ near the border?
Oh my apologies, I was skeptical about a space station that could go to Mars as that’s why I thought that meant by their wording.
Maybe they didn’t mean it like that
Yeah, but your claim is being and to go to Mars with the space station
Wait what?
This is literally the first time I’m hearing about it
If you think the demand isn’t there, you’re out of touch. It’s certainly true that many consumers are choosing digital content, but it’s largely driven by it not having inconvenienced them so far too.
Everyone I’m seeing who lost the 3DS and Wii U stores, or lost access to all the games in their account, or even people who purchased media they can’t download and access again is realizing how big this problem is.
