Finally, time to play

the gas generator in an ostensibly air-tight bunker isn't such a hot idea

Better to realize the value of drm free and sellers like GOG before that time then

That's not fair. There was time now...

If they’d gone to that length, one would’ve thought they would have gotten games that didn’t require being always online, or researched, tested, and implemented workarounds.

If it’s gonna be a primary source of entertainment for the foreseeable future, you’d better make damn well fucking sure you can maintain it for as long as you play it. H/w and s/w.

The factory can always grow, even without internet.

There is a solution:

!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (Not accessible via lemmy.world instance)

Live free on the high seas! 🏴‍☠️

Time to pirate! WHAT? 0 seeds?!

Well, that's on the guy. Plenty of games run with no internet.

Well... if he's running a generator inside a enclosed bunker, he won't have much time to regret the lack of games.

If it makes it any better, this way he might actually notice the generator exhausting fumes in his limited air.

single player minecraft FTW!

The spider in this one is rather sneaky. Haha

Modern retelling of that Lloyd Bridges Twilight Zone episode. "Time Enough," I think it was? Simpsons did it too!

Had this same problems last night. Storm knocked out the internet so I booted up the Xbox with some old school borderlands 2 from disc. Nope requires internet to even start the game. This is some bullshit.

Hey, if you've got the bunker and supplies, what's the point in waiting for n the apocalypse?

be sure to switch to offline mode when the world ends

I'd never build a well stocked emergency bunker because I don't think I could live with the constant temptation to just go in, close the door and live in it.

windows xp?!

Bruh that start bar looks like Windows XP from...(checks Old.exe) 23 years ago?

Steam users be like:

Plenty of time to teach yourself binary exploitation.

In addition to the carbon monoxide problem, is there also not the issue that fuel last only for half a year (a bit more with some additives) ?

Btw, anyone know how entities (e.g. hospitals) with fuel-based emergency generators manage their fuel supply?

Call me crazy, but I would miss my League of Legends.

This is why you get yourself some sixth gen consoles.

Find something to hate all you want, but the major Bethesda releases into today with a bunch of mod profiles could keep me in offline paradise for decades.

And it's a bitch to get working right, and takes mods to do so, but you get Skyrim VR the working properly, and you won't miss any of the modern live service bullshit.

Solitaire and Mines it is then! Well, maybe a bit of Mahjong too.

Edit: Hey wait a minute! I got FreeDoom too! An eternity of gaming!

We had our apocalypse in March ‘20 to summer ‘22, and we had to stay indoors with an internet connection,

and you all suggest you didn’t clear your backlogs?

This has been a public service callout.
