every time one of my friends posts their art, be it on discord, xitter, or elsewhere, I feel like grand admiral thrawn looking at it; appreciating their work, who they are, and how I can use all this to inevitably destroy them
one day I will be able to post something cool myself

Good to be back. Let's not do this song and dance routine again, okay?

Huge win for gamers and consumer rights!
The California State Assembly just passed AB 1921, the Protect Our Games Act.
It passed on the floor by a vote of 43 to 16.
The bill would force video game companies to give players a heads-up before they shut down the servers for a game.
It would also make them provide a way for people to keep playing afterward, like adding offline mode or letting community servers take over.
Quick recap of what the bill does:
>60-day advance notice before any server shutdown or major service change that would make a game unplayable in its “ordinary use.”
>Companies must then provide a workable solution so players can keep playing, usually an offline mode/patch, community server support, or (in some cases) a full refund.
>Applies to digital games first sold or substantially re-released in California after January 1, 2027.
>Does not affect subscription games, free-to-play titles, or games that are already permanently offline/single-player.
>Enforceable by the Attorney General or district attorneys.
In short: If you buy a game, you should still be able to play it even after the company moves on.
No more “purchase” turning into a rental that expires when the servers die.
It’s going to be hilarious when NASCAR 26 drops and Coronado isn’t in the game.
You know, like how Mexico City was added to iRacing so they could put it in NASCAR 25 and it still isn’t in NASCAR 25.

@optcglover I didn’t see that this was retweeting a One Piece post at first and thought to myself “you could probably get waaay more than just one Diet Coke for turning in Chopper from Star Wars Rebels”
