only when I inevitably drop it in water and it won't boot anymore, except for when rice magically makes it boot again

Thanks, I think I'm over the worst of it, but still not feeling 100%

Having a lazy day curled up under blankets, cozy in bed, and having some pizza is the best lol

if the statement does accurately represent the position of Ubisoft as a company, why is the context important? What is the context that would improve peoples' perception of Ubisoft telling their customers that exchanging your money for their products doesn't grant you ownership of the products?

Thanks! I'll see if I can find it

Oh cool, that's interesting! Thanks!

That also explains why drinking cold water almost hurts after having a mint lol

Hiya! Happy International Women's Day! I recently got back from a long break from Lemmy, and really most other social media too, but my experience on here has been pretty good too. Generally I'd say it feels more friendly and positive than I remember Reddit feeling, and with generally more productive conversations in my experience.

And yeah we'll probably just order in later too. I've been a bit sick lately so probably not much else

why does it feel like i can breath better while chewing very minty gum? i mean i assume it's just an illusion but i've always wondered

i don't hate mint but i really want to try cinnamon toothpaste now

if you only think of friends as people you interact with in real life doing things in the real world then i guess yeah for you that wouldn't fit your definition of friend

personally i think of friends as people whose company i enjoy, who i get along with really well, have a lot of things in common with, and talk with frequently about whatever we have going on in our lives or things that we like or find interesting. i've had many long-lasting, long-distance friendships with people online who i cherish very much, and i'm even in a long-term relationship that started online, and we lived on opposite coasts of the US, and i moved in with him after about a year. in terms of doing things together, for me it's mostly just chatting and playing video games, but i've met some of the people i've met online in real life before, as we make plans to get together sometimes when possible.

but i have agoraphobia so socializing irl can be difficult for me because i don't really get out of my house much, so online friends is usually my only option, so i might be a special case idk for sure. but i'd guess that a lot of people have similar experiences with online friendships

Are you saying that Ubisoft doesn't actually believe that people shouldn't own their games and that this was a hypothetical discussion that was taken out of context? Because my impression was that this was sort of a response to people complaining about subscription-based games and DRM content that makes the concept of owning games blurry.

Because if this position doesn't really represent Ubisoft, then what should have been said is whatever does represent Ubisoft. Ideally they should agree that people have the right own the games they purchase.

In my opinion someone should generally own what they buy. That's why I like GOG, which distributes DRM free games, and part of why I often pirate games especially from large companies. In my opinion the take that people should only have a license representing permission to use a product that is actually owned by a company is delusional if not dystopian, and Ubisoft should be made fun of for having that position, and their games should be pirated.

Here's an explanation/rant/opinion I more or less agree with by Louis Rossmann if you're/anyone's interested

i am too, memes are good, vibes are friendly, people are nice, happy to be here
