Fuck, we used to do this in the 90s. Big old farmhouses on land no longer used for farming. Owner of the land charged $2 to park and that was it. Bands would play, people mingled, some people would sell bags of chips and soda out of their trunks.
So much better…before the dark times, before the internet.

So the answer is to do a facial scan? I thought companies were manic to get verified phone numbers on people to use as a common index for data collection. Now its facial scans. Every company wants a facial fucking scan. Government wants facial scans or hires 3rd parties e.g.unemployemt insurance verification…they also require facial scans.
It’s absolutely ridiculous

Back in the early 90s I would walk into a store, buy a game that came in a box with a manual, take it home and it was mine.
I bought the 1st Civilization like this. I still have it. No Internet needed.
That’s the way it should be. All the online, dlc, mini boxes, group play, create online accounts…fuck all that shit.

Diablo 4 sucked. It really did. I wanted my money back. Diablo 3 I replayed for years, lots of fun. But 4 just seemed like a grind with no real after win bonus play at all. It was a slosh to get through even once. And once done I didn’t want to try it again from scratch with a new character.
Path of exile I liked. This I can get behind
I go back to history of games. My favorites through time…not 1 of them had micro transactions.
Uncharted…none Eye of the beholder and all early DnD games…none Civilization (up to about civ 4)…none And pretty much all pc games before 1989.
Just create and sell me a finished game on media I can keep. Why is this so fucking hard nowadays
