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://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)
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.
Its been a long week. Someone pass me an image of The Character

I didn’t do the cosplay just for the meme….
Flying to Italy and finding the exact field to recreate the picnic scene was pretty amazing. The costume took me a month to make 😮💨 it was so nice to shoot it in THE field!!
Edit: thank you guys SO MUCH for all the love on this cosplay! If you’d like to donate to support future cosplays, I’ve created a ko-fi account here! 💖 donate
I saw someone joking that Tup’s full name is Tupperware and now I’m imagining all the clones having the time of their lives coming up with extended versions of each others’ names

Thanks for the tag @i-will-write
rules: 1. make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. 2. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! 3. tag as many people as you have WIPs
I'm gonna limit this to things I've worked on in the last six months. Not all of them actually have titles so have brief descriptions instead.
Runaways Cadets (bad batch fic featuring a GN reader)
Jedi reader x Crosshair
(reader works at Cid's tending the bar when TBB show up. not sure where that's going but it's in my WIP folder so its here)
Squad 177 (original scifi that I got inspired to write while watching the clone wars)
(original fantasy; a bunch of teens/YAs discover ancient charms that give them powers and have to save the world)
(other original fantasy; i can't concisely summarise this but it also features a team of heroes with magic powers, but its different from the other one I promise)
Tagging @orangez3st @ladylucksrogue @nkinene and anyone else who wants to join in!
