great news
we need more alternatives to Visa and Mastercard.

let OpenAI go bankrupt hell yeah!!!

Good

Not to mention it they had it way before steam ever heard of refunds.
People have! Homebrewing it for piracy is definitely not legal, but you can hack it like any other PSP (okay technically you can get original homebrew for it kinda but not really legally). But if you’re a law abiding citizen, you can’t buy new digital games for it.

Oh cool

Postal 2 was one of the games in the bundle I mentioned. HuniePop was included IIRC along other games like Fetish Locator. It was given away just after the other two stores caved in.

Yep

IIRC that was Australia. But even their refund policy now is shit. Two hours after you click launch on a game? GOG back then had a 14 day money back guarantee, now extended to a full 30 days refund policy.

IIRC Steam is Two hours after you click launch on a game or 14 days after you bought the game,But i always thought GOG’S refund policy is more generous

There are very few of these games and the only way to know about them is a community-made spreadsheet compiled through trial and error. Unlike GOG, they’re not guaranteed to stay DRM-free - they can suddenly become DRM’d at any moment.

Yeah your right and there is no legal way to bypass it

The PSP Go was the first digital only console and since the PS Store was discontinued for it, yep, no more buying games for it.

I wonder if people ever homebrew’d it to circumvent it (idk if this is even legal)

If they did, then they caved to them despite their wealth and resources. Meanwhile GOG gave away a bundle full of NSFW games and they’re also served by Visa and MC. AFAIK only they and itch.io publicly shot themselves here.

I think the only non-NSFW/NSFW-adjacent Game GOG gave out was Postal 2
and i get it now.

Alright here is my response(am not defending Valve or calling them Saints here)

Caving in to the anti-NSFW demands is “doing nothing”?

IIRC Didnt Visa and Mastercard pressure them

Paid mods?

thats a thing?

Not offering refunds for more than a decade?

i heard a government pressured them to doing this,yeah that sucks though

Being one of the first to popularize loot boxes and with it “marketplaces” of items that don’t exist, where you aren’t even guaranteed the horse armor you want to buy?

Yeah that sucks to,but for me its fine for F2P Video games and if its not P2W
Donationware would be cool too 👍

literally destroying physical media, used games, and game ownership in one fell swoop so we have to rely on GOG to get the latter back in some form?

Didnt everything move digital?
but
for the most part Steam/Valve did kinda destroy physical Medium,there are sometimes video games that are sold on DVDS/CDS(Video games,Music)
i think for non-DRM Games you can Still own it on Steam???
and used games well i think the digital switch killed it, but if the franchise still has physical Medium it is still possible.

True

Accurate

Finally my chance to quit?
Idk

this is why i like to disable Javascript if its not necessary using noscript.

just burst already please rahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah I see

I agree but if it was just used in minor or very minor places.
But the job requirements require you to use AI tools which is not fine with me(it would be fine if it was optional)

your right but doesnt Armbian exist for OSES? and i never knew their lifespans are short

but armbian exists which is a Linux distro that tries to support alot of SBCS IIRC
but i think that uses Vendor kernels too

Yeah but iirc its faster then the rpi 5

I always thought the 16gb ram ver was not worth it in my opinion

Orange pi 5?

125 usd for a Rpi 5 ain’t worth it anymore ngl.
I think there are better sbcs for that price.

Ah I see
