And that’s a biased statistic. My recap shows I spent 1% of my time playing games released in 2024 when I know, for a fact, that I didn’t. Upon further investigation, I found that it was counting my play time in Palworld as 1% even though it still shows as “0 minutes” because I literally only opened it to check that it worked.

Amazing! Or it would have been in an alternate timeline where the RX7600 and RTX4060 were just released. Over here in the real world, Intel is more than a year late to the party with a lackluster product. NVIDIA and AMD have new cards releasing in early 2025 and, given that the B580 is within 15% of last year’s offerings in 1080p, it’s probably about to be outclassed. I really hope its existence at least forces the other two to stop with the 8GB of VRAM insanity but, unless you need to upgrade right now, you shouldn’t care about this. So can we stop pretending this is a good product?

Also, wasn’t it established in lore that she couldn’t go through it because something something elder blood something?

Yep, it’s hard to make time for a several hours long hobby when you’re an adult.

strategy games usually need an hour just to remember what I was doing last, so I tend to wait until I can block out an entire evening

lol yeah, it’s like planning date night with your game.

I don’t only do dishes. Also, there are short videos.

And 1 copy is also less than 2 copies.

Why would I swap a game for my friend to try it out when the next sale will probably happen in a couple of weeks? Literally yesterday I bought The Master Chief collection for a fiend for 10 USD. The second-hand market only really applies to anti-consumer companies like Nintendo where several years old games still retail for launch price.

Nah, I can’t game while I’m doing the dishes but I can watch a video just fine

Makes sense. I usually just put on a 2+ hours long video whenever I’m doing chores. I don’t actually care about Wolfey’s last weird team, it just makes for good background noise.

It works on the honor system, which is just a fancy way of saying it doesn’t. Mainly because nobody wants it. Turns out reselling, as a concept, doesn’t really make sense when games go on sale all the time.

GOG’s EULA allows you to legally transfer any games as long as you destroy all not transferred copies.

You can if it’s DRM-free.

What even are physical games in this day and age? Sure, you can buy a disk but if you still need to download a zero day patch that takes approximately a buttload of time to finish before you can actually start playing, then it isn’t a physical game. Don’t even get me started on Nintendo’s links in a box. Perhaps we should start calling them physical DRM.
