The main lessons I take away from the awful but unsurprising news from Sony today is this: (1) Play more older games that you can OWN, however you can get them (already on it) (2) Make your own games, however crude, because (1) creativity keeps us alive at heart, and (2) it may one day be necessary

And I guess there's also... (3) Become an archivist in some capacity. If not for video games, than for something else. Impermanence is a fact of life, but there are way too many forces working to accelerate the ruin of the things you love. Keep and care for your treasures great and small.

i'm glad somebody else is thinking the same thing, as much of a heartbreak it is to see the recent lack of preservation. been deliberately saving a lot more art and media in the last 3-so years.

But I won't lie, it gets harder and harder to be optimistic about the future of The Computer. Even before AI, the evil dream has always been to reduce all owned devices to terminals with subscriptions. The main way I cope these days is...using The Computer less, TBH, except for art and toys.
