“Stop Killing Games” is a consumer movement started to challenge the legality of publishers destroying video games they have sold to customers. An increasing number of video games are sold effectively as goods - with no stated expiration date - but designed to be completely unplayable as soon as support from the publisher ends. This practice is a form of planned obsolescence and is not only detrimental to customers, but makes preservation effectively impossible. Furthermore, the legality of this practice is largely untested in many countries.

People should read the petition before being snarky and wrong.

I’m going to keep boycotting ubisoft until they release Beyond Good and Evil 2. Then I’ll boycott them because there’s no way they don’t turn it into an open world-climb towers to unlock the map-crafting-nonsense

Any good source for the channels?

Add to obtanium and have it auto update!

Cash only, about 6 months. Selling assets, 20 years.

13 years ago I had to walk 2 hours after work to get home because I didn’t have a pounds to rent a bike (it was a bank holiday and salary was delayed for a day). My family helped me expanding my education and since things skyrocketed.

Do we need I2P to access that link? It shows address not found.

Yeah, I agree. We have been hosting servers at friend houses with consumer (mostly our own gaming PCs) forever.

The risk involved exists, but it’s far from the threat they make it be.

Stop Killing Games is not trying to force companies to provide private servers

I don’t think this is what they mean. They say that of they provide the tools for users to deploy the servers, bad things can happen. So I think they understood SKG, they just lie about the consequences for gamers

Still trying to find the right direction on animal crossing.

To be honest, it was a very paralell process. I could do a fraction of the compute, needing a fraction of the RAM, but taking a shit ton more time.

Also, theres no perfect machine for this use. I can have 3.5 times more RAM than needed, or start swapping and waste time.

Tell your friend to open source the algorithm… Somebody will surely point at a easy optimization. 100 others will just shit on your friend

*looking at the 14TB cluster I had running for 18 hours

Yep, nobody would ever need that much memory

Nah, pump the humidity. Free sauna!
