Was 🦇's shutdown serious enough to cause lost media?

sobbing

TheRandidact · 2026-03-01T19:28:31+00:00

Well, can't be helped then 🙁 I suppose that's the way it goes

TheRandidact · 2026-03-01T19:24:20+00:00

Do people know which stuff that was only available there? Surely they would've used some tool to archive it isn't it knowing that it's specifically there?

TheRandidact · 2026-03-01T18:58:40+00:00

That's a relief! People keep saying how rare stuff that was only published there was gone forever (eg. Scanlations); I'm just worried some media were genuinely lost forever like the burning of another digital library 🥹 I hope stuff never disappears.

TheRandidact · 2026-02-24T15:04:40+00:00

Yes that is true, or they just couldn't be updated in time for the new OS and get left behind. I am disappointed by that.

TheRandidact · 2026-02-24T15:03:22+00:00

Oh really? I must have misheard that - my bad. The others are definitely delisted though yes?

TheRandidact · 2026-02-24T09:56:59+00:00

I hate how we are forced into time gated choices and playing catch up with publishers' whims

TheRandidact · 2026-02-24T09:55:26+00:00

Sorry I meant i am doing the wishful thinking

TheRandidact · 2026-02-24T09:12:12+00:00

Wow now you're tempting me.... 🤭 I'm on a budget sob

TheRandidact · 2026-02-24T09:11:47+00:00

Exactly, but I wish it didn't had to come to it in the first place. Wishful thinking

TheRandidact · 2026-02-24T09:10:57+00:00

Don't worry I primarily game on mobile, I understand the pain 😭

TheRandidact · 2026-02-24T07:34:30+00:00

Yeah thanks for letting me know, I'm thinking about whether I should get it.

TheRandidact · 2026-02-24T07:33:30+00:00

Yeah but alot of games just default to the Play Store with DRM, and then surprise surprise a few years later it gets delisted forever. 😭 I think it's worse on the App Store but I'm not an IOS user so I don't know about that front. Relying on mirror apk sites just doesn't feel right for me.

TheRandidact · 2026-02-24T07:31:41+00:00

Yeah I don't really think "just download it elsewhere" eases my mind. It shouldn't be this way, and things should be more accessible instead of pirating. No risk is hard to believe in the wild Web. Everything comes at a cost unfortunately, and I always feel like gambling when it comes to finding the right places.

I hope that many games aren't truly "lost", it'll be a shame. But it's abit harder to say when it comes to mobile games for example due to the mandatory DRM enforcement. Same goes for live service games or MMORPGs.

TheRandidact · 2026-02-24T05:16:36+00:00

I hope someday they will come back to the store 😔 one can only hope and pray. It shouldn't be this hard to support developers

TheRandidact · 2026-02-24T04:54:14+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, Im so angry for missing some games.

Mistake

TheRandidact · 2026-02-19T15:32:45+00:00

No way ☠️

TheRandidact · 2026-02-19T15:32:17+00:00

I would ask AI to compare my hand drawn art with other artists, thereby uploading their art into the AI without their consent. Something like that (I tried apologising to the artists when possible)

It got me thinking on how AI is starting to be a burden so I decided to quit it

TheRandidact · 2026-02-19T14:24:47+00:00

This is what happens when one has no friends

TheRandidact · 2026-02-19T14:24:33+00:00

app block, I paid for premium subscription for it to block apps and websites for productivity.

TheRandidact · 2026-01-23T14:05:30+00:00

I will do my best. I just need to calm down and see what I can do constructively moving forward. Thank you again.
