A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

The case in the tweet wasn't a hardware problem. Apparently the person's PSN account had gotten deleted during their 10+ years of not using it, and downloaded games attached to the account didn't work any more.

That's still a pretty big fucking problem.

Yeah, but playing a physical copy of a game would be a fairer comparison to older systems.

Imagine if some Sony executive broke into your house and stole the games off your shelf because you hadn't played them for a long time. Thats what happened here.

It never happens to a pirated game I heard

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

if its not theft for them to steal your games away from you, then its not piracy to download their games.

And

  1. the account shouldn't have been deleted

  2. the account being deleted shouldn't stop the downloaded games from working.

Both are Sony's fault
