I enjoy talking about video games. Enjoys fighting games yet fails to be good at them.

‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services (www.theguardian.com)

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...

@SorteKanin @thirdBreakfast I guess Amazon and iTunes would be the closest thing, but rights expire for TV shows and movies far more often than they do for games. It’s insane that there are shows from 10 years ago that aren’t legally accessible or are straight-up lost media because the rights expired.

@alessandro I’ve always bought the majority of my games during sales or used from websites like eBay, so it doesn’t affect me that much. I considered buying Persona 3 Reload at launch, but I’ll wait for a sale since it’s $70 and SEGA games tend to go on sale pretty quickly.

@Jamie @JammaJammaPJ This happened to me once when I was doing research on George Washington. I remember the ad saying “Search George Washington Death online at Target”

@Witchfire I used Instagram from 2016-2022, and it consistently got worse. Bugs that you’d expect to be patched quickly lingered for years as features like Stories, Reels, and now Threads get higher priority. DMs would consistently show me messages from 37 weeks ago that were supposed to expire after I viewed them the first time. The last straw was when they moved the Activities tab to the top so that Reels could have its own place at the bottom. I’m not surprised that they don’t even maintain the login page these days.

Every. Single. Time. Really hope this dude's still getting paid. (imgflip.com)

Seriously. The only time I listen to FM radio is when I take my wife’s car to get an oil change. So maybe a total of twenty minutes driving time once every six months or so. Every single time, this song comes on. I don’t get it. It was a one hit wonder from like 25 years ago. How is it still getting that much airplay?!

@ilovededyoupiggy For me, it’s always Mr. Brightside by The Killers. I feel like they’re always playing that song on the radio, regardless of the time or place.

@setsneedtofeed I bet it looks like Slurp Juice from Fortnite

@Kramgr @user224 I love getting DVDs from the library. With streaming services, I constantly worry that I’m wasting my money when I’m not constantly using them, but borrowing from the library removes that anxiety while still having access to movies from several different studios.

@1Transient During a time where I temporarily used Reddit (around 2018), I would repost my memes from Instagram to some subreddits. One of the mods got upset at the Instagram watermark and banned me from the subreddit. Pretty hypocritical considering some of that subreddit’s most upvoted posts were Twitter screenshots.

@Frostwolf I switched to Firefox a few years ago. Using Google Chrome on a low end Windows 10 laptop was a nightmare.
