Indiana Jones’s and Doom are both stub disks. If Sony can use two disks you can too!

You own an Xbox and you buy games? Wtf man just get Gamepass. It would have paid for itself already with just those two games and maybe one or two smaller releases.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Uh, you can get them for free from the library. Game pass if hella expensive. And yeah, I don’t do digital.

That’s hell of a nice library that has games available, on launch no less.

I don’t even know if there’s a library in a 3 hour radius from me.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It just the city library’s. Have you checked out yours, I know each city will vary but it’s worth a shot.

[–] Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I don’t live in what I would call a city, and we don’t have a library.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry to hear that. Every community should have a library.

[–] Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As someone who loves to read and to think I agree but at the same time I know it would be a waste of the town’s finances. People here don’t read, for example my grandfather told me not long ago that “he hates” reading. How can you justify the expense of a library that no one would ever visit?

The schools have OK libraries (by our standards, for someone from a city they probably look like a closet) and when I was a student I was one of the very few that ever used it for actually reading. Everyone else just used it as a social space and to watch YouTube.

I guess by shifting it to be a resource for things the community could use? Libraries can be so much more than books.

Not that it's cheap or easy.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah damn. Do you at least have decent internet for those huge files?

[–] Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I can’t complain. I downloaded Oblivion Remaster in like 4 hours I think? Maybe less.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yikes. Well, at least your able to access games and that’s the important thing.

[–] AlexanderTheGreat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I feel your disdain for digital and your fight against it should be more focused on the ownership of digital goods instead of just "digital bad" for a variety of reasons. The most important being the environment.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I do appreciate GOG. It’s the only place I buy digital.

[–] AlexanderTheGreat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

We need more like them. We should own the things we buy, or they should be much much cheaper.

You'll own nothing and be happy

Whoops I responded one down too far lol

I don’t care to own mass consumption media to be honest. Maybe some movies.

In my opinion the only media really worth owning is books and even then not all books are worth the paper they are printed on, so those might be best kept on an ebook.

I rather put my money in silly things like appreciating assets.
