Dunno if anyone looks at my blog, but here we go.
There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.
A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.
I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.
Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)
Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.
I’m sorry, someone on Pinterest recognized Pukicho by, and I quote “the guy from tumblr who ate shit-sandwich”??!!??????Like, What The Fuck Happened????!?
I think people need to take some things fucking seriously. Like,
There has been an earthquake in Turkey, and I’m talking about 7.5-7.7 levels.
And I’ve heard people calling the helping…,hotlines(???) to prank them, and a few teenagers shouting and fucking pretending that they were there to save the people trapped under the rubbles. To be honest, I don’t consider these creatures human anymore, cause they sure as hell don’t deserve it.
Why does Jamal from KATAOWB remind me of Jschlatt?
like they are the exact same dude, just make Jschlatt a frog and you get Jamal. I can’t unsee this now, it’s just stuck in my brain.
Feanor should be allowed to return to Middle Earth early for one (1) reason only and that’s to whale on Sauron for what he did to his Baby Grandson(s) cc @verecunda
This came out a little blurred (most likely because I had an exam & had to use it becauee I forgot I had another eraser), but look which creepyboye visited me!
(I actually meant to post this alot earlier, but I kiiinda forgot about it lmao)
Actually, I’ve finished reading svsss (and the extras,) and like, what if in the airplane extras shang qinghua actually left?
Like, the angst of it all would be enough to keep me crying and in this fandom for longer
The idea that he leaves behind a note, explaining that he won’t return, won’t be found, and definitely the fact that trying to track him would be pointless.
Just…the sadness that would happen afterwards. I need me some fics like that. I need the anger and the sadness of it all.
Hiii!
I don't usually post often as I am a consumer more than a creator, but I feel like I need to say this somewhere or I will fucking shoot someone.(preferably a soldier.)
Isreal is commiting actual war crimes. Israel also actively ignores calls for 'humanitarian ceasefire', just in case they couldn't look more like a fucking cartoon villain in levels of evil. Multiple nations are also calling for the borders to be opened due to the lack of resources on the Palestinian side because the deaths daily are incredibly high, high enough that the people who were told to evacuate are returning home because it really doesn't fucking matter if thay are gonna die either way.
(I also tried to find some footage of the multiple Israeli soldiers that use kind phrases like 'If your neighbour is Arab, go to his house and shoot him' but unfortunately I couldn't find it. Do know that it is out there though.)
If you consider human rights important, I would like you to kick the first Israel-supporter you find in the shins. And burn down a mcdonalds for sending resources to Israel soldiers.
op has raw power
uh-oh looks likes you don't spark joy *sends you into the pit*
