It's actually pretty insane how Lindsay Lohan was able to overcome her addiction and legal troubles when so many people with severe addiction never do.
@MahiruYuuki That scene of Patchy calling up random celebrities was easily Patchy's lowest point. Imagine if a kid was watching it for the first time, then said kid would've likely been very confused on who these people were.
People don’t realize how much this could change the gaming market.
When physical games disappear, it doesn’t just affect collectors. It affects the entire ecosystem around gaming.
Retro game stores? Many of them survive because people still buy, sell, and trade physical games. As physical media declines, some of those stores will have a much harder time staying open.
Collector’s Editions? If everything becomes digital, what’s the incentive? Are people really going to spend $200+ for a few digital cosmetics and a downloadable license? A huge part of what made those editions special was owning something tangible.
And don’t think retro prices won’t be affected. As fewer physical games are produced, the older ones become even more desirable. Supply goes down, demand goes up, and prices climb even higher.
This isn’t just about preferring discs over downloads. It’s about ownership, preservation, accessibility, local game stores, collectors, and the future of gaming as a whole.
There’s so much more at stake than people realize, and I don’t think the long term impact is good. #supportphysicalmedia
The state of the gaming industry is so unfortunate. I really hope things take a turn and improve, because this is not sustainable. Games today are more prolific and more advanced than ever, yet somehow we’re regressing? Make it make sense. 😭😩 I’m so tired.
What could go wrong? /s 🕳️

@AllieRX_OTD O wouldn't be surprised if a player who plays the game names the two characters after Final Fantasy characters as tribute to the game's original U.S name.
@AllieRX_OTD@bugbeargames Ahhh... FlatOut. A game franchise with a good first game, a solid sequel, a terrible third game and a underwhelming fourth game.
