Sucks that you can't fully own your computer games. I would love to someday play multiplayer AoE with my 5 sons without spending $300+ on a single game. We've been living in the "you'll own nothing" epoch for a while.

what else

Yes we’ve been in the sharing (streaming) economy where nothing is truly yours. I’ve personally been thinking about grabbing an old iPod classic for music.

approximaterly since the nephilim showed up on the shores of the red sea and started enslaving humans in the then not desert region of arabia (about 15000 years ago) after they got expelled from atlantis

Or repurchase the same games you had on CDs from back in the day.

The WEF people really gonna radicalize Jon into making his own AoE 😂

I am this close to building AoE on nostr

nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 recruit this man

Age of Empires?

I never played AoE but 0 AD is pretty fun. Free/libre. Check it out.

I have idiot gamer brain and am reading this as “Area of Effect” attack. What is AoE?

Age of Empures, only the best game ever made

Wrong.

starcraft 》

wow i did not know you have 5 sons, amazing!

Nearly, number 5 is due in a month

aww that's exciting and hugs to your wife🫂. It must be quite adventurous everyday in the hodlbod household!

Get them 486s back up and running! Let’s go 😆

Would you win against them?

Couldn't you get a hard copy of one of the older expansions and have a LAN game? Last I played was AoE2 HD with African Kingdoms, but I still have my disks with Age of Kings and Age of Conquerors.

I think the Good Old Games (GOG) store specializes in DRM free games.

Yep! I was right.

“We don't believe in controlling you and your games. Here, you won't be locked out of titles you paid for, or constantly asked to prove you own them - this is DRM-free gaming.”

Aw nice

Ripe for Disruption

Industry is delusional - prioritizes cutscene trailer animations over playability and replayability

Fortnite is cartoony and like 100GB per month

Tons of classics free to remake in a new light, with arcade sensibility and efficiency

FUTR IS BRIGHT

Good Old Games sells all their games DRM free.

I took a nap and woke feeling a heavy sense of deja vu, specifically because I may have mentioned this before.
