  1. Decision made. The #Scrabble set is too tired (also the homemade A and I tiles, they are not great) and will be retired to a quiet paddock with good grass and a shady corner.

    A Scrabble set,
    with wooden tiles,
    and a calm-coloured board.

    Not that oversaturated thing. Not plastic tiles (also, are you an axemurderer?)

    It will have come from your great^3 grandparent's house. There's a strong chance some letters are missing.
    If it has an OK(ish) board, not too much gaffertape, not too many coffee/tea/wine stains, not too sunbleached, you know the sort - I will buy it.

    Your great-grandmother made a bag? Yes please. The box is only just held together and all the corners are split open? YES, I can guarantee it will be remade with all the acidfree care I possess. But ALL the A and I tiles are gone? Oh bugger, sorry, I need one of each, at least. Nice board, but plastic tiles? hmmm could you accidentally lose the tiles? Ta.

    Happy to pay and pay more for wrapping and sending. I can send you a picture of it happy in its new home.

    Here is a pristine one. I don't expect this, but, well #ABoyCanDream?

  3. When they hand out samples in shops, you expect to be served decent #quality, as they are trying to get you to #buy their #product. We saw this in #software too. You got great features, bought the product, and got even better features. Not so with #AI. We get a shit product, told it gets better once paid for. But it's still shit. Making matters worse, one then spends more time with it, 'cause everyone raves on how great it is. This works because the bots constantly tell us how clever we are 🤷‍♂️

  7. Chinese courts allow heirs to inherit accounts of deceased gamers — multiple cases spanning years establish precedent for digital ownership of games, in-game items, and microtransactions

    “Chinese courts view game accounts and microtransaction purchases as something of monetary value, and therefore gamers have rights related to those assets,” u/Slawrfp wrote. “Chinese courts reject the idea that standard non-transferability clauses can stop you from inheriting or bequeathing a game or even individual microtransactions (of the same nature as CS:GO knives or skins in other games) and have made this ruling in multiple cases.”

  11. Other people have mentioned this but I though I would just remind gamers out there

    Sony are determined to control ‘ownership’ of games, in fact they would rather you only rented them and paid a premium to do so. Their recent shenanigans removing access to videos that people thought they had purchased would be a warning to anyone considering their products.

  13. "Spotify's effective payout averages roughly $0.003 to $0.005 per stream... By contrast, Bandcamp pays artists roughly 82% of each sale. A direct $10 album sale can exceed revenue from thousands of streams. Buying music or books directly from artists, whether physical or DRM-free digital, is one of the most direct ways to support them."
    Artists are likely better off when you #buy one album (and #pirate the rest) than from your #streaming #subscription!
