Endgame [LoadingArtist]

I made my own doomsday gaming stick. A one terabyte HP 911 pro stick filled with all sorts of games that are plug and play, all neatly categorized. I had an idea to start making copies and selling them on dark web markets, but honestly not worth the risk.

GOG exists. You can literally buy games DRM free online and for the same price as on Steam.

Games aren't like movies. You can own the games you buy if you're willing to put in the effort.

Lots of things will work, until a week or 2 later then it asks for online authentication.

Youre staring at a rectangle, reading a post left by another human being, or perhaps a robot. Some of the text is blue. You find yourself drawn towards it. If your thumb makes contact you might find yourself watching a clip of...The Scary Door.

The gaming session was gonna get real intense for a while

Maybe he's running an absolutely stupid overbuilt ventilation system

Minecraft hardcore but I have carbon monoxide poisoning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wow0tjOvxg

Nah it's a good way to go before you run out of water.

*laughs in DRM*

Just because a game is single player doesn't mean squat these days. If your computer cannot connect to server to authenticate the license at least periodically then you're fucked.

Unless you pirate or get it from GOG or other DRM-free sources. Steam DRM is at least indefinite so long as you have launched the game at least once though.

Might be a cloudy nuclear winter

Maybe that way he'll die before the back pain from the beanbag chair gets him.

Could be diesel or propane either way wouldn't have been hard to design a box for it to sit in so that the fumes could still go outside.

After an apocalypse like that it's unlikely that solar or wind would be very viable it would most likely be nuclear winter so that would stop both as solar is not going to get any sunlight and a windmill is going to require excessive maintenance to stay functional in that.

The better bet would still be battery bank but battery bank with generator that way you're not just wasting electricity since a generator is a demand-based response but still uses a set amount of fuel no matter what just to run you use the generator to charge up the battery Bank and then use the batteries only turning on the generator when they need to recharge

Meh, it expires as far as it's not good for your car anymore and gets the engine dirty, but in this case you just steal another car nobody around who cares if the car breaks down in 1,000 miles

You could download all of wikipedia before ai was a thing, what does ollama do for it?

I tried to play classic ff7 on steam the other day and it booted up a windows 98-era mandatory square enix login portal ☠️

And the code is "loading artist" in l337.

"You're entering a show that is slightly different from previous, very similar shows. What was once a creepy story about a book is now about an e-reader that's too greasy to hold. And that one phone call from the devil? Now it's a FaceTime call from the devil. The devil part didn't change. Prepare to see your unflattering reflection in…The Scary Mirror."

It's just a KDE reskin

And yet there are many games that despite offering offline play still require an internet connection or require online download.

Clearly you have never played a Ubisoft game from the last decade. :P

Depending on the game. Some require always online connectivity

Not much today, at least not with the expensive / interesting stuff. And you'll have to live with the bugs and crashes, as nobody will fix the betas they are selling as products today.
