"Pokemon" is short for "pocket monsters".
"Digimon" is short for "digital monsters".

Therefore, "salmon" is short for "saltwater monsters".

(You might object: salmon spend a big part of their life in freshwater. But pokemon spend a big part of their life outside pockets too!)

"shifting trend of consumer preference" my ass

[Allthatisman @allthatisman1]

Another person talking out of their ass of physical media. I got music cds from early 90s and my Sega cd games work great. Take care of your stuff, dont live in a humidifier. Sorry, I hate the disc rot fearmongering.

Good morning.😂

Reminder that ANYONE:

Can make their own drm-free physical pc game disc AT HOME and FOR FREE,

Thanks to my open source software.

Physical media forever🫡

Gaming is the youngest art form in the world, the degree to which it’s in its infancy cannot be understated. Its distribution and preservation being kneecapped this early is a crime

Have you noticed that liberal justices suddenly call unborn babies ‘people with full rights’ the moment the topic changes from abortion to immigration?

console wars ending with both sides committing suicide

[Vee @AjentVee]

Do you remember when a game was too big, they just….put the game on multiple discs?? Why can’t we just do this instead of removing the physical option altogether? 😭

Massively underrated beat in Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy that the Orientalist cliché of “Ra’s Al Ghul” is revealed as the self-mythologising construct of a western mercenary who was just “hanging around” Asia for a few decades doing stuff not too different from Alfred.

@RepAndreCarson Jesus Christ it’s nuclear power fearmongering all over again. Imagine being against “technology” as if data centers aren’t the base from which the internet already functions

[Vivi @_deceptionfalls]

gaming is in such a dire spot right now, just stick to retro gaming at this point. everything you haven't played yet is new, and its better to enjoy the games that were made before this industry turned to shit

Here’s a picture of a 26-year-old physical PlayStation game for no particular reason.

The obvious solution is that if an illegal alien has kids in the U.S., you deport the parents and raise the kids in some sort of ultra-patriotic super-soldier program.

We don't enforce any DRM for games and stuff on @itchio. Buy, download, and never connect to the internet again for all we care ✌️

[Roger @RogeeRoger]

I would rather invest in a $2K PC that will let me play anything modern with free online plus let me emulate a backlog of the last 45 years of gaming versus buying a 1k PlayStation where I won’t have any control of owning my games and have to pay to play with my friends.

Hard to argue against piracy when it's soon gonna be the only way to secure that you actually own any piece of media going forward.
