Can’t confirm my identity. Is it because it’s the weekend?

@BombOmOm@lemmy.world avatar

Best we got is a new Skyrim version. What do you mean you don’t want to buy the game you already own again? We made 20 different versions, all just for you to buy!

Nice going. Maybe EU can beat some sense into digital “ownership”.

Hawk,

Or kill it completely. The only reason I’ve held off signing this is that the wording is so vague that it could work in favor of gaming companies. I’d rather not see that.

It’s not supposed to be a finished law at this point. The main take from the initiative is that digital games have a massive issue with anti-consumer practices, and that consumers demand something to be done about it.

How would this exactly backfire in your view?

Hawk,

Multiple ways.

Companies can completely erase the idea of ownership. If everything is subscription-based, they can simply stop the subscription and have no further obligations.

Or Europe just gets completely locked out of functionality, as already happens in some European countries.

Of course good things can come from this, but I’ve read here several times that this just isn’t a good proposition and might just lead to the anti-consumer practices disappearing in a negative way too.

EU is way too large of a market to “lock out.” Didn’t happen with Apple, for example.

For subscription hell, we’re deeper into it than is healthy, but I don’t expect it to take over because of this. Steam, which is the biggest, most profitable platform out there doesn’t even offer a subscription and shouldn’t be hurt by this. For competitors, trying to suddenly force everyone into a subscription would lose a lot of business.

Edit: Anyway, doing nothing about it is a guaranteed bad outcome.

Seems like they should change their now-impossible username.

I’m really happy that the one time I got to visit the UK was during Liz Truss’ time in office. It was wild seeing the protestors, and when I landed back at home I heard she was gone.

It’s like the UK decided to be welcoming by putting up a whole Chaotic Prime Minister just for the benefit of your visit.

runner_g, do gaming w Moneyless Harvest Moon-type game?

You may be interested in Aska. It asks the question “what if valheim was also a colony sim?”. It’s a bit less chill then Stardew/Portia, but it is a classless, moneyless community building game.

This is a tankie nightmare. I’m a border control agent? And if I fuck up my wages are reduced? Seems like you answered the opposite of my question

vithigar,

It’s an extremely bizarre suggestion given your request. I do want to defend the game (though not the suggestion) a little though.

It initially presents as you say, but offers you opportunities to fight back in your capacity as border control. Letting in the right people can help the resistance and incite a coup, or enable you and your families escape from the country. It isn’t just Be A Good Tankie Simulator 2013, though you can play it that way too.

azerial,

I also love this game. It’s just fun to play.

Empricorn,

Great game, but what a wild recommendation for this specific request…

@Vittelius That's hilarious. I go to sign up but I can't because of Brexit. FML!

A UK petition is in the works. It might take some time until that goes up because your election a couple of months ago reset a lot of work, but it’s comming

@Vittelius Cool. Please keep me informed. This is something I will certainly support.

T0RB1T, do notjustbikes w Please recommend a middle- to high-end hydraulic disc brake set with a Flat-mount caliper
@T0RB1T@lemmy.ca avatar

To ensure compatibility, you said you had a local bike shop… you should probably go there and get your brakes swapped with whatever you’re excited for, that they can order in.

Plus, support local, of course.

nasko,
@nasko@lemmy.world avatar

Nah, that’s the first thing I did - ask them for a swap. They:

  • Only offer post-mount calipers
  • Wouldn’t suggest a swap to me, because I bought the Sirrus 3 from them and it is still under warranty.

Their stance is basically - ‘If you come back with a brake set, we’d swap it for you, but we can’t suggest a replacement’

T0RB1T,
@T0RB1T@lemmy.ca avatar

Well, I’m sorry to hear that, that’s kinda wild. I’m not a mechanic, and not deep enough into bikes to tell you what to get.

I’m sorry for wasting your time.

@nasko@lemmy.world avatar

Not at all, mate! Honestly - it’s not like I’m getting an influx of comments that I’d have a hard time keeping up with. :-) Thank you for jumping in.
