We just needed 12 more to vote No to stop this trojan-horse bill, because it takes 2/3 to pass under a suspension of the rules.

Too many were afraid to vote against the “KIDS Act” title, or didn’t know what the bill will really do, or just want government to have total control.

I just saw the ESA clarifying statement and uh... Wouldn't that mean, by their definition, and the fact that Microsoft said that they do speak for them... That playing Minecraft single player is piracy? Since it spins up a private server to well... play singleplayer....

So do Sony realize that when they drop a 1500 dollar PS6 with no physical discs to collect that everyone is just going to get PC and Steam because it’s the superior digital option or are they just really that fucking stupid

🚨WHAT ON EARTH?!!!

Over 100 Flock cameras that were set to "go dark" at the end of June after city council voted to shut them down...

...have bizarrely just REMAINED ON and the police are still using them

On June 17, the city council's safety committee voted to END the contract because when they asked police to prove these cameras actually reduce crime, the police could point to only 3 cases that led to convictions.

So the city council let the contract expire on June 29th, but then people noticed the cameras were still up...

...because Flock VOLUNTEERED to keep running them for FREE while the city "figures it out."

In fact, police confirmed they are still running them to "keep the community safe" and the company agreed to keep the system live, despite the contract expiring.

It gets worse.

When reporters asked simple questions like... is data still being collected? Do the cameras shut off or keep recording? Who can access what was already stored? It turned out that neither the city NOR Flock would answer.

So just to recap:

The contract is expired.
The elected body said no.
Nobody re-authorized it.
Flock won't say what it's doing with the data.

...but the cameras are STILL ON and being used by police

Killing discs in the middle of a storage cost crisis where you can only fit like four games on a drive to begin with is quite the move. See Xbox just cutting its 2TB model since it costs too much

when i was a kid in computer lab we were constantly told that we should NEVER give out personal information online, not even our first names. now, in 2026, the government is telling us we should submit our government ID's to download angry birds 🫩

This will be the future of digital only games. You are kidding yourself if you believe otherwise.

[tdk @tdkumon]

They're announcing that they're going full digital and literally at the same exact time they announce that they're closing two digital storefronts
Can't make this up

Go fuck yourself SEGA, like actually fuck you for this.

BEFORE ANYONE SIGNS ON READ THE TERMS OF SERVICE, THEY'RE ASKING YOU TO CONSENT TO GIVE YOUR INFO TO AN AI

[TomaThePolliwog @tomathepolliwog]

That's an explanation for price, not a justification for value. Where are the store restrictions on publishers forcing online checks for “offline” games? Even 1k later you still can’t play games you bought offline, probably won’t hit smooth 4k60fps & no handle. at least it’s SFF?

[Dexerto @Dexerto]

Valve says its $1,049 Steam Machine costs more than a PS5 because it refuses to sell hardware at a loss and make up the difference with subscriptions or game sales

"The cost of the product is basically the cost of the components and what it takes to make it"

@me_irl this is unrelated but by chance do you have the video of someone who made it sing hhgreg Panasonic 99 (if not that’s ok)

[TomaThePolliwog @tomathepolliwog]

@CPTTANKERJOEv2 Legitimate concern. I hope it works out.
