A bunch of gamers in France are trying to get regulators to stop game companies from shutting down online games after a few years.

They argue that they bought a good that the seller has rendered inoperable not a service.

This won’t work. You can’t force companies to maintain online services forever.

You should be able to force companies to design products in a way that doesn’t require them to maintain services forever for the products to remain operable.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron
Or simply require products to be sold with a clear minimal expiration date for said component.
And have a minimum requirement of at least 2 years as of initial publication, with defined terms on minimum service quality.

I'm not well versed in gaming in general, and online gaming in particular, but for clear consumer information should never be an option.

To me that's the heart of the issue at hand.

Is that one of the Diablo's I only played the original one for like 2 hours but haven't gotten back to it. What are your thoughts on the games?

My friend Jen is flying down from Sydney, and will be in Melbourne next week in order to perform at the comedy festival! I did this portrait of her when I was messing around with what I could do with wood instead of canvas. So, it's more of a test work. I keep avoiding doing people. I am hoping to soon get back to developing more confidence in painting this subject matter. In any case Jen and I will be having a cup of tea on Tuesday. Woohoo!

New York/New Jersey 4.8 Magnitude EarthQuake


Just heard this has happened, that the Airports have been shut down, the Cell Networks are overloaded, No Word on Damage. Quake origin point is near Lebanon New Jersey.

in reply to Joseph Teller

That's as I figured @Jodi K real damage to the homes of real people. It's way to easy to lose one's compassion and understanding in this world or blame things on 'Media Hype'.
in reply to Joseph Teller

@Joseph Teller Damage to a school in Brooklyn too. And I saw video of a road somewhere that got split open with water running through it.

You're right in saying it will take time to tell exactly what the damage really was.

Interesting.. But it is hard to look at games like these after RDR2 set the bar so high. :/ But I'll probably give it a try when it comes out.

A magnitude 4.8 earthquake rattled New Jersey this morning around 10:23am. I felt it up here in Vermont too — just a little shimmy that lasted for maybe 8-9 seconds. April blizzard, earthquake, eclipse…all perfectly normal stuff going on here. nytimes.com/live/2024/04/05/us…

Felt it right outside the Boston area, too. Was on a Zoom with folks in NYC and saw it happen live

I still check Reddit, even though I deleted my account for:

- News I miss
- To see who shares my stuff and where

Came across this gem today:

reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comm…

2 comments, one saying my factual title is misleading, another saying it's done for clicks.....sigh.

And then the mods just removed the post. Lol. Fuck reddit.

As I understand it ...

  • Two co-founders of TMTG sued Trump for reducing the number of shares in the IPO, thus reducing the cash value of their shares.
  • Trump has sued those same partners as being responsible for the mismanagement of his great company and the reason the 2023 numbers were bad.
  • Two members of DWAC just pled guilty to insider trading.

... the guy literally can't crime without criming.

And today it came out that he's trying to force out the Judge based on political ties of the Judge's daughter... while benefiting in FL on his documents case by having a Judge he directly appointed in charge and a Supreme Court Judge who's Wife actively was involved in the Jan 6th uprising,

He wants his cake, to eat it, and to have sex with the woman who baked it and to pay for nothing.

I've just finished watching the live action version of the series Avatar: The Last Airbender. I loved the original animated. This just knocks the ball right out of the stadium! The special effects are good, the cinematography is good. The scripting and acting is SUPERB! Lots of crying for sad AND happy!

I am more than reluctant to watch anything with the "Avatar" name attached. But maybe.
