  • I’d rather remain comfortable not buying games from Ubisoft and EA.

    I refuse to waste a single dollar on every game from both companies, since we were all bent over and continue to get bent over because they just don’t care about anything but making more money.

    A good example from Ubisoft is the handling of the Driver series. They kept on releasing the games in the series in a near unplayable state before when most people had dial up.

    A good example with EA was the failed DRM with Spore. They only let you install the game 3 times, which glitched out to the point where people had to turn to piracy (warez and crackz) to play a game they paid for.

    We vote with every dollar spent, which gives me hope when people rally around good companies that do the right thing.



  • This is exactly why I look at companies and corporations with a side-eye of doubt when they claim to have some sort of “do not be evil” motto baked into thier company culture.

    It doesn’t matter if a gigantic company has a hundred philanthropy focused CEOs, all ot takes is one greedy or evil one to destroy a company’s dogma

    After the investors, managers, and profiteers taste easy money, they will continue to demand to be fed that blood flavored stew.

    Once that happens, they either need to be lobotomized or put down for the good of all lest those who are not in the know continue to put money into the frothing imitation it has become.



  • Everyone should be using the Facebook addon “Facebook Purity” if they are still using the platform. I’ve been using it for over a decade and I can’t stand using Facebook without it…

    They are always a few steps ahead of Facebook and work well with other blockers.

    Not only that, you can block specific parts of Facebook, not just the adverts. You can block the shorts, people you know, groups, keywords, and even whole topics.

    You can change settings, like how you see your feed and it will stay changed.

    Changing the font size, type, spacing in addition a bunch of color and night mode options are just icing on the cake.

    In my professional opinion, it’s the only way of working with that platform is not harmful to one’s sanity.
