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.

sometimes i forgot furries aren't mainstream and a lot of people don't like them so i'll be talking 2 new people about something like furry-adjacent and someone will make a joke like "lmao so you're a furry" expecting a dramatic reaction but i'll say "i mean yeah sure" and people will be shocked and ask "seriously??? you mean like with an outfit and everything?" and i say no so they're like "so you draw furry stuff?" and i say no so they say "so you're just really into furry art?" and i'm like "well not really, just incidentally" and then they're like "okay actually you don't sound like a furry" and i'm like "hm......no i definitely am." by this point they've figured out i'm autistic and we go from there

hi yes hello what the fuck is metrosexual lmfao
It's hard to explain to zoomers just how insanely homophobic the early 2000s were. If you were male, and like, washed your hair regularly, people would call you a faggot.
So, dudes who washed their hair and wore button ups developed the term "metrosexual" which meant "I care about my appearance but I am attracted to women and don't have sex with men."
