I’m From Sweden And My First “anime” Must Have Been The Pokémon Anime Since It’s The Only One

When life gives you the finger meke fingernade

One of the most entertaining things I have watched in over one and a half year is a man sitting in a chair chained to a big CRT TV forced to say Mario over half a million times for many days straight. There is only Mario and sleep and Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario, sleep and Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario. He also has Mario music on the TV but I'm only here for the Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario. I think I am going insane myself, I only hear Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario all the time Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario Mario

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for. EDIT: There are also some things people outside the EU can do, as well as additional things some people in specific EU countries like Germany and France can do that aim to solve this same issue as well. You can find that here. (https://www.stopkillinggames.com/)

(Note: There was a petition for UK people but the recent politics stuff there means it's on hold and has to be resubmitted and that may take some time.)

Additionally if you want to keep up with this you can check out Ross Scott (Accursed Farms on youtube or his website) who has been posting monthly about this and deserves a lot of credit for all this work.

(I hope that's all the stuff I missed)

EDIT 2: I changed the link to go directly to the form instead, this SHOULD work!

I recently got a new reflective vest to use at night when I run and a group of people on bikes passed me and one of them commented on how well it works. It felt good to have confirmation that it is a good thing to have.

How can people be claustrophobic?

Santa isn't that scary.
