Better to realize the value of drm free and sellers like GOG before that time then

That's not fair. There was time now...

Oof. Still too soon.

In my heart, he later finds someone else's glasses, and sits reading happily on their makeshift grave.

If they’d gone to that length, one would’ve thought they would have gotten games that didn’t require being always online, or researched, tested, and implemented workarounds.

If it’s gonna be a primary source of entertainment for the foreseeable future, you’d better make damn well fucking sure you can maintain it for as long as you play it. H/w and s/w.

Pardon me mister or misses. But in my naivity, I was under the impression that the comic above, perhaps, was intended for humoristic purposes, and therefore might not be an accurate reflection of reality.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 25 points 3 months ago

Absolute nonsense!

Literally every single thing posted to the Internet is 100% serious and factual, including both your comment and my own.

Fun science fact! Mickey mouse performs ritual sacrifices to keep the earth rotating.

You are forgiven for your transgressions

[-] iii@mander.xyz 8 points 3 months ago

Thank you so much. The worrying black mist clouding my sense of self-worth is starting to dissipate.

Boy I sure hope someone was fired for that blunder!

The factory can always grow, even without internet.

This guy gets it, just download the mod server before everything goes offline.

There is a solution:

!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (Not accessible via lemmy.world instance)

Live free on the high seas! 🏴‍☠️

[-] python@programming.dev 12 points 3 months ago

Also a good option: !switchpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Cracking your Switch is extremely easy if you have one from 2017/18 that is in the right serial number range ^^

[-] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 10 points 3 months ago

Meh - there's plenty of decent handheld gaming PCs that are far better choices at this point - you can use emulators to run Switch games, and a virtually endless range of games from other platforms as well.

Time to pirate! WHAT? 0 seeds?!

Well... if he's running a generator inside a enclosed bunker, he won't have much time to regret the lack of games.

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I don't want to out myself as a bunker nerd, but there's two points here that are worth noting: all modern bunkers circulate exterior air (through an NBAC filter) specifically to avoid problems arising from "bad air", and many bunkers have dedicated rooms for generating equipment that have entirely isolated air supplies to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, isolate fuel from ignition sources and so you can lock your traitorous brother in there and not have to listen to his pleading he knows what he did.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 3 months ago

You mean that people that have built bunkers for decades have thought of these obvious problems more than people making quick snarky comments online? Shocking.

If it makes it any better, this way he might actually notice the generator exhausting fumes in his limited air.

Modern retelling of that Lloyd Bridges Twilight Zone episode. "Time Enough," I think it was? Simpsons did it too!

[-] soul@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

I think you mean Burgess Meredith and it was Time Enough at Last.

Had this same problems last night. Storm knocked out the internet so I booted up the Xbox with some old school borderlands 2 from disc. Nope requires internet to even start the game. This is some bullshit.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

be sure to switch to offline mode when the world ends

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago

I'd never build a well stocked emergency bunker because I don't think I could live with the constant temptation to just go in, close the door and live in it.

[-] Linedotdatdot@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 3 months ago

I mean, arguably at that point it would stop being your emergency bunker and just be your home, right? So... I see no downside to any of this

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Hey, if you've got the bunker and supplies, what's the point in waiting for n the apocalypse?

The Mayan calendar was right! The world did end in 2012.
