Aside from the games, vinyl and other things I got for Christmas, I treated myself to a couple of items just before New Year..

A battery backed RAM/ROM board for my BBC Master

And an RGBtoHDMI, mainly for the Master, but I’ll use it with a handful of other retro computers as well.

Bought on Amazon 4-star store yesterday while walking around the mall. Luckily my sister is a Prime member so yay discounts! Don't wanna use the controller bundled in Smash Bros. Ultimate too much.

Had to look that up. I didn't even know those existed. That's interesting. Out of curiosity, were you able to compare prices (or least the price of the item you purchased) between the store and buying online? I just wonder if they boost the charge slightly, since they're selling from a brick-and-mortar store.

I have that weird meme where I basically buy a game in almost every console even if I already own them (Like, I bought HL2 on all avaible platforms except Android just for jiggle). I do own OW on PC with multiple accounts and on Switch already, but this oen was such a good deal. Especially since it still has all the preorder codes intact.

I might have gotten covid. My brother in law tested positive. So my job gave me 5 rapid test kits. I just did 1. Waiting for the results right now.

Yay me.

Also fully Vax with 2 shots, 1 booster and immunocompromised. I have a rare genetic heart defect, that apparently less than 3% of people in the world have. Thankfully it's not linked to any known heart disease.


Yes the test shows negative.

    Sure he could be on cracked flooring causing the leak

    How much you bet delta going to be DRMd to hell and back
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @linuxares the dev just ends up at 0
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's no worse than if you pirated
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's probably better, because not all keys on key sites are stolen
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    plus piracy is not always an option
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i heard a related story for a dev actually
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    from a dev*
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    DRMs are getting stronger these days
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they bought their own game on a key site and checked where they came from and it turned out they were review copies he had given out by email to someone
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    *all* of them
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    no storefront I'm aware of (at least on pc) requires the devs to pay for the keys they generate
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    they don't lose money doing this, even if someone decide to chargeback
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so that seems to be a pretty common thing, i kinda blame the dev for that one though as they were giving out like 5 keys to someone just because they asked for multiple copies for review for whatever reason and there were multiple people doing this. he should've seen the red flags
