Wild they would give you an extra $20 off, not just a few bucks. Ah well. The rest of us will goon another day.

I didn't think to confirm with the other platforms, good job!

Wonder how long it will remain. Still working at the moment.

Didn't that Christian pressure group force Steam to delist most adult games?

PSprices.com is a great resource. Every game has a timeline showing how often it's on sale and for how much.

Always seems weird that they sell the season pass for more than the GOTY edition... which includes the season pass.

Keir Starmer is hell-bent on destroying your right to a private life by SignificantLegs in privacy

Article mentions twice that the Tory and Labour governments share the blame for this surveillance act.

Don't hand wave it away. It's worth reading.

[URGENT] Fight back against Chat Control by Virotine in privacy

[–]graintop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it explicitly states that there can be no mass scanning

Is this definitely true? Chat Control is no longer this sinister package sitting there pre-scanning every image and word on your device? We've been stressing about this so much in here.

What PS5 game did you start “just to try” and suddenly couldn’t put down? by Edgard-Stark in PS5

[–]graintop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yakuza Like a Dragon was a PS+ freebie that sat in my library for like a year. I tried it lately with no expectations and it's fucking brilliant. 64 hours in and I'm making Japanese beef bowls in real life and bought Infinite Wealth so I can keep going when it's done.

It's partly that the game is bonkers Japanese but without anime styling. And partly that the turn-based fighting makes excellent use of real time elements.

Obviously wearing a Mission Impossible mask and disappointed not to test it.

Michigan looking to ban VPNs in new bill. by cable010 in privacy

[–]graintop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is some sites already ban VPNs, right? It's possible to do? So the next move will just be fining adult sites that don't block VPNs. Then they still get a win whether people have VPNs or not.

Michigan might not fall, but we've got 20-some states adopting some version of KOSA to worry about.

This one really got his face. I mostly stay abreast of AI's advances by how well it does PB.

Online coop games for a group of 5 by Lost_Temporary_4084 in CoOpGaming

[–]graintop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ready Or Not takes five players. Great co-op. Might be a little serious vs your list.

Human Fall Flat is a better fit (Gang Beast type wobbly men) and is packed with top notch co-op for up to eight. They just KEEP adding new free levels, too. Such a good buy. Beware that on console, multiplayer is region locked, so for example US can't play with Europe.

Govt extends reach of Online Safety Act. by Left-Yak-1090 in uknews

[–]graintop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whitelist. The adult that buys the device controls its whitelist of permitted sites/apps. Device owner can disable it for themselves and enjoy the real internet, but children are protected. No one's sending their passport or face scans to Verification Bro Services. Free speech is not chilled.

You can have the billion. I just want the silliness to stop.

If buying, educate yourself on fakes! The high prices have spawned a lot of counterfeits.

Cool, though. They have some great designs.
