6-panel Loading Artist comic. 1: “The world just ended. And I couldn’t be happier!” Blue shirt guy grins at a nuclear blast outside his bunker. 2: “Fuel?

The perfect gaming session begins now!” 6: Screen says: “Failed to authenticate. Check your Internet connection.”

Luckily, I have a fuckton already.
You must also remember to download Ghidra and debugging tools haha
You can play offline.
Depending on the game. Some require always online connectivity
And yet there are many games that despite offering offline play still require an internet connection or require online download.
That’s on you if you agree to log in to play a game you already paid for
“Enshittification is the consumers fault” is one way to see it but I’d rather put the blame on other parties, like the ones actually making the decision.
Not much today, at least not with the expensive / interesting stuff. And you’ll have to live with the bugs and crashes, as nobody will fix the betas they are selling as products today.
Depends how you define interesting. Out of all the games I have there is just one where I must have an Internet connection to play. Others only need it to update.
Thank you! This is my pet peeve. “Gaming sucks these days”. No, the babes you okay, the companies you give your money suck. There are plenty of good games. Supporting toxic companies is a choice they are making.
Exactly. Vote with your wallet.
Clearly you have never played a Ubisoft game from the last decade. :P
I haven’t played them and it’s but choice. There are plenty of great games without their bullshit.
There’s definitely a way to play offline. 🏴☠️
Probably not in last 15 years or so.
There is hope: « Stop Killing Games » au Parlement européen | Temps forts de l’audition complète
(Stupide YouTube translates the vidéo title but it is indeed all in English)
Piracy is a matter of survival.
Eh there are enough good offline games that you could download through GOG that you wouldn’t be able to finish in a life time. Which reminds me time to download all my games to a harddrive, you never know.
🏴☠️
It’s fine, he’s got the generator inside, he’ll die from carbon monoxide in like an hour.
I wanna play Apple Mongers
Laughing in thousands of retro games
That’s why as a paranoid I downloaded Wikipedia and have ollama to run locally
You could download all of wikipedia before ai was a thing, what does ollama do for it?
Ollama is separate from Wikipedia database I downloaded. Ollama is just a different thing and something to interact with. There’s very little synergy other than Wikipedia being source for ollama models claim
Like all AI, it’s a search engine.
Fuel expires.
Meh, it expires as far as it’s not good for your car anymore and gets the engine dirty, but in this case you just steal another car nobody around who cares if the car breaks down in 1,000 miles
Harder to find a generator I’d say
All this doomsday prep and he couldn’t be bothered to buy games from GOG before the nukes fell? Oh well, deserves it for trusting DRM launchers HA
