game about mold? game where you play as mold and spread mold?
a thing Starfield lacks over Fallout and Elder Scrolls, and the reason it's not gonna spawn any compelling continued universe, is that it was designed from the ground up as a fully-formed triple-A later entry with none of the established history to back it up. it never had its turn-based Fallout period; it never had its Daggerfall. the game tries to present itself with the fanfare and fondness of an old friend yet comes off as a meatless shell that neither the players nor the developers really believe in. if you want to launch a new franchise with eventual games of the Skyrim or New Vegas caliber it has to go through its growing pains in a lower-stakes environment first. i don't know if a large studio can achieve this anymore because budget and tech investments have become antithetical to the heart and risks the initial game requires. in today's world it has to be an ascended indie

- text recap:
this is a consumer rights movement looking to establish legislation regarding companies shutting down paid video games. the general idea is that a game you purchased should have an end-of-life plan to keep it playable in some form after its servers shut down (such as by making server software publicly available).

(there's an FAQ addressing edge cases you might think of!) depending on your location there's a variety of ways you can contribute, such as by signing a petition or contacting a representative. you can also spread awareness by sharing Ross's videos or posts like this one. please consider helping! this is important both for your rights as a consumer and for video game preservation!

i cheated at cookie clicker and immediately after getting to a quintillion cookies a dragonfly flew into my room and started ramming itself against my walls really fast and im fucking terrified of bugs so i had to wake up my grandma to take care of it. on mothers day. my grandmother had to get a bug for ME on MOTHERS DAY because im just that much of a pussy. sorry i dont expect you to see this but i think this will weigh on me forever if i dont confess what ive done. i have a heavy karmic debt i will never pay off from cheating at cookie clicker and that dragonfly was an omen. i think i have the plague
let this be a warning to everyone else.
that last 0.5% of work left on this cookie clicker update is really beating my ass. why is this so hard. if i don't get diagnosed soon i'm going to walk by some pharmacy and huff the adderall fumes
