Follow up to my post from last week: I now saw the new Naked Gun movie and I loved it! Not only was it better than I expected, it felt like it fit seamlessly with the original trilogy.

I'll get it on blue-ray and add it whenever I re-watch them. Good spoofs are back!

We'll all help rebuild this place and others but lives lost and affected can never be fixed. We need to give Ukraine more tools to defend itself.

Darksiders 4 really snuck up on me! Haven't played 3 yet actually, but I really liked 1 and 2. I guess the more souls-like gameplay of 3 never appealed to me, so I personally hope it takes more from the first two games.

Posting the teaser for episode 9 today, because something else is planned for tomorrow.

Put on your floaties, this is going to be a naval episode. It's been a while since we did one of those. Check out episode 5 of season 1, if you want to know which one that was.

The Naked Gun movies are honestly one of my favourite movie trilogies ever and I re-watch them every few years. When I first heard of a reboot/sequel by McFarlane I was worried, but the trailer and Akiva Schaffer's involvement have me cautiously optimistic. ๐Ÿ‘€

They will not win, but they will kill a lot of people until then. Deaths that could be prevented by more actions and less words.

So EA is changing their EULAs. Aside the fact that this is unilateral change of contract, EULAs are not legally binding anyway. (Aka, you can't just circumvent laws just because you say so in the EULA)

It just shows they are afraid of us #stopkillinggames

Famously shit happens. But sometimes all you do goes down the shitter. The best example of that is the Erfurt Latrine Disaster, our latest episode!

As promised, my video on #stopkillinggames

It is also our channel anniversary, but if you are not interested in that you can skip to 1:33, when I start talking SKG.

Feel free to send this video to people that need help understanding what the initiative is about.

I doubt it, as the change would for the most part have an effect on live service games, which are rarely done by indie devs. They are high cost, high profit.

Server based games by indie devs can just allow private server hosting.

I'm stoked. Though Ross just put up a video that he was told some people spoofed their signatures in the ECI, so people need to keep signing. We'll probably need 1.4 mil just to be on the safe side.

Exactly. That digital goods are treated the same before they are sold, but completely differently after they are sold is an abused loophole. Good news is, that this might change now. ๐Ÿ’ช

If the only inherit fix to a situation is committing a crime, then the situation really needs to change.

Least we can do is try. If our governments are so deeply in bed with the industry that vigilantism is the only solution we have bigger problems tbh.

Petition: Prohibit publishers irrevocably disabling video games they have already sold The government should update consumer law to prohibit publishers from disabling video games (and related game assets / features) they have already sold without recourse for customers to retain or repair them. We seek this as a statutory consumer right.

We are not done!

UK has passed the 100.000 signatures, but we have to keep going. There will be invalid signatures among those. We need a little cushion.

Keep spreading the petition for more new people to sign it: petition.parliament....

While it's not my usual work, I will release a video about #stopkillinggames on Monday

By the way thinks are going we might already have passed the 1 million then but it doesn't hurt to keep signing even past the threshold to show our important this topic is to us and offset potential invalid signs

If you bought a product, you get ownership of that copy. Preventing a buyer from accessing their product should not be in the power of the vendor.

Make a stand for consumer rights and support #stopkillinggames

One of my favourite CCGs I've ever played was The Elder Scrolls Legends. It is currently no longer playable. It's time to change that.
