Even physical games are bricked without PSN access if you need to pair a disc drive. This is why real physical media and disc drive access is vital. Welcome to the future - nobody owns anything, and all art and entertainment is disposable, temporary, and lost forever.

1/ ❗Really chilling. Thanks to Sen. Mark Warner, for releasing Memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge. -Memo is a clear abuse of power and weaponization of DOJ -Memo bolsters FBI lawsuits filed today. VERY clear the list is for retaliatory purposes

Here's my favorite "Thing I Got From A Gashapon Machine" win from the Japan trip. It's a guy in mirrorshades using his phone. And a clip to hold the lid on your cup noodles while they cook.

One reason Bluesky (still) works for news is that there’s no obvious, pervasive culture of misinformation. If someone you trust reshares something on, say, Syria, the odds that it’s a chud trying to troll people remains relatively low.
