Burnout is a real bitch, as it turns out. I'm not fully recovered, not yet, but I'm working on it. The joys of untreated ADHD.

Hit me up with your best burnout tips.

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

This is honestly wild. To be clear, it’s not that the candidate is *from* London, it’s that she’s based there.

Melanie Ward is Labour’s candidate for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath and she lives in London.

Labour’s candidate for Angus and Perthshire Glens, Elizabeth Carr-Ellis, is a councillor in Canterbury.

Their candidate for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, Eva Kestner, is a councillor 700 miles away in Lewisham.
