Physical media has been dying for years. If you look at the sales statistics between physical and digital, it makes for grim reading if you care about physical media.

75% of game sales in Europe in 2024 were digital. In 2022, 90% of game sales in the UK were digital. It’s a similar story pretty much everywhere. And whilst there’s a lot of noise on the internet about how bad a digital-only future would be, the average consumer doesn’t care.

I really want this, but £55 for a 3.5 year-old game is a bit steep.

Also, a premium edition that gives you four days early access for a port of an old game is laughable.

You mean the Bullring?

It’s okay, and it’s not far from where I live but it’s not quite the same as the ones you see in North America. Though maybe they feel different if you don’t live there.

I’m in the UK but now I want to go and visit that mall. 😂

It reminds me of the West Edmonton Mall that I visited when I was a kid.

Exactly.

Also, I might read a message quickly while I’m at work for example, but not have the chance to reply because of that, so I don’t want people to think I’m ignoring them when I just don’t have the time to reply at that moment.

They voted for it, so why would they be mad?

If signing petitions led to anything, they wouldn’t let you sign them.

If a person has a big beard, they’re not going to have a vagina, are they?

Bathrooms are related to your anatomy, so use the relevant one? 🤷

Are you confusing trans with non-binary here?

I’ll call you by your name when I’m talking to you or if you’re part of the conversation. 🤷

What’s the giveaway? It’s not like there’s a difference in appearance.

There’s literally no difference to anything. Just saying you’re non-binary changes nothing about you.

Unless you tell people you’re non-binary, how would they know?

Well, I don’t know about you but I don’t go to work and tell everyone I’m male or my sexual orientation, because I’m going to do a job and that would be weird.

You’re on Lemmy. This place is obsessed with posting about Elon every time he farts.

So what you’re saying is that life…uh… finds a way.

Yeah, this guy hasn’t heard of line spacing.

Society nowadays reminds me of the world Aldous Huxley envisioned in Brave New World, where we’re so bombarded with different methods of distraction that we end up like consumerist robots and are desensitised to the world around us.

0. The scaremongering about this is hysterical.

You’ve got four more years of the orange clown and then he’ll finally fuck off.

Or it’s a very delayed meme about Hitler.
