The new build is looking even better with the 3 added 120mm RGB fans and the GPU's in Sli

On June 7th, Starmer was going to fight whoever dare stand against him in a leadership contest.

Less than a month later, he's fallen on his sword and vowed to keep his mouth shut.

Someone got a call, didn't they?

Digital ID: Here is the WEF's plan for you, straight from their website.

Their goal is to create a situation whereby every aspect of daily life—healthcare, banking, food, travel, internet, social media, communications, energy usage, etc—requires a valid digital ID, without which you are locked out.

Once that situation is in place, the conditions of validity can be adjusted to anything they want.

You didn't take the latest experimental mRNA injection? Then your Digital ID is invalid.

You posted something deemed "misinformation" on social media? Then your Digital ID is invalid.

Your social credit score fell too low? Your Digital ID will be invalid.

You exceeded your monthly carbon allowance? Your Digital ID will be invalid.

You voiced criticism of your new technocratic overlords? Then your Digital ID is invalid.

If governments are ever allowed to succeed in rolling out digital ID—even if it's through the back door via under-16 social media bans—we will find ourselves living in a giant open-air digital prison, from which it will be virtually impossible to ever escape.

But they can only succeed if humanity complies with their agenda. DO NOT COMPLY.

That’s genuinely insane. My “favourite” UK-China comparison is Hinkley Point C vs the city of Shenzhen.

> 1980 Shenzhen SEZ announced
> 1981 Hinkley Point C announced

Today Hinkley Point C is still incomplete with yet more delays. Unit 1 expected to come online in 2030 (I highly doubt it).

In comparison Shenzhen went from a network of fishing villages with a GDP of $37 million to a mega city with a GDP of $557 billion. It has two operational nuclear power plants.

It is genuinely hard to describe the state of Britain if you have not visited newly developed parts of the world. Practically nothing has been built in Britain in the last 50 years, it isn’t just stagnating, it’s dying.

@ConstantGTA I was probably 8 or 9 and it was GTA 1 for the PS1

Who or what told Starmer to stand down and Miliband, Streeting and Co to stand aside for Burnham?
The idea that this is in any way a natural process is so far-fetched it would be comical if it weren't so dangerous.

[𝐍𝐢𝐨𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐠 🇮🇷 ✡︎ @NiohBerg]

Andy Burnham is about to become the leader of Britain with no election, no vote, no debate, not even an interview, while his party has literally never been more hated.

They will look you in the eye and claim this is somehow democratic.

[Darren of Plymouth @DarrenPlymouth]

Burnham is going to slice and dice England up into little pieces.

This is a long standing EU concept of regionalisation.

Starmer’s job was digital ID, Burnham’s is the destruction of England.

Divide and Conquer.

We must stand together.

@CultureCrave @verge They'll sell you a disc drive for the ability to do so

[Mick @nitroki11er]

@DiscussingFilm And to do that they'll sell you a disc drive

[Mick @nitroki11er]

@zTwiggyy @GamingCentral26 I understand, it just doesn't do it for me for some reason.

[Emerald Apple @AI_EmeraldApple]

GTA6 no disc
PlayStation ending all physical copies in 2028.
Everything is going digital-only.

This is all by design... by the new financial world order where you will own nothing, and the powers that be will control everything.

Say the wrong things, and your account gets banned, causing you to lose all access to your purchased library of games and entertainment.

The server goes dark, making the games you enjoy inaccessible.

License agreements change, causing the media you purchased to be forcibly removed from your library.

No more sharing games.
No more resale of the game.
Every game requires an online account tied to YOU.

Eventually, even the hardware will move to the cloud, where you won't even possess the means to play the games, even if you have the old discs.

They are already doing the same thing with your house, car, stocks... and even your life.

DO NOT FORGET THIS IS HOW SONY WON YOU OVER. DO NOT FORGET THIS IS WHAT THEY STOOD FIRM ON AND WHY WE CHEERED. @PlayStation @Sony

MAKE THEM REVERSE THEIR DECISION TO END PHYSICAL PLAYSTATION GAMES!

[NikTek @NikTek]

it looks like cracking games on PC is legitimately the only way to preserve a video game in the future

[Jordan@PhysicalParadise @SoWhatAboutGame]

There has to be a video game crash. There HAS to be.
- Digital-only route
- Digital content being removed from accounts
- $1000 consoles
- Subscription-focus
- 10 year game dev cycles
- layoffs
- studio closures
- even small indie game studios face closure
- AI slop-filled digital stores

Gaming got too big, too mainstream, too exploitable, executives got too greedy.

This hobby has become a hellish nightmare.

Surely we are at the bursting point?

[Mick @nitroki11er]

@mrpyo1 Now if only we had that much passion for how our countries are run because it's not just gaming they're coming for and it's not just Sony, every aspect of your life will be a rental/subscription, if you win this battle don't just stop there.

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

It’s now clear that, after announcing the end of physical game discs in 2028, Sony wants a fully digital future where you don’t own what you buy, you just simply rent a license which can be removed when they want

A few days ago, Sony removed hundreds of movies from people’s accounts even though they had paid for them. This is what will happen one day to your games, they will remove whatever they want.

Of course, I don’t expect games to become cheaper. Even though they will save money by no longer producing discs, cases, printed materials, or shipping physical copies, they will charge the same or more.

This is the future they’re want, one where you own nothing and be happy. Physical games will be soon become a thing of the past.

Keep all your physical games, don’t sell them, they might become real treasures one day.

[k @kurtos]

offline gaming has basically just died because it won't matter you spent $70 on a game if they can't "verify game licenses" if you aren't connected to internet you are locked out of your games

[Mick @nitroki11er]

@BrentKappel @PlayStation Your older games will be better than the slop they're making now
