  • Last time I tried to play Mass Effect (through Game Pass) it told me I need to install the EA App. However I couldn’t install the app because “you have to uninstall Origin” first.
    So I uninstalled Origin and all games I had installed through Origin. Still I couldn’t install the app till I restarted the PC. Then I had to login to EA via browser to verify my account. Then I could login in the new app and then I could play the game.

    After my game pass ran out, I looked at the Steam page of Mass Effect to buy it, but Steam said that Origin (not the EA app) is required. At that point I was done with EA games. Maybe it was an outdated info. I don’t care. I surely would’ve got the game running eventually, but I just don’t care enough.

    And don’t get me started about the Ubisoft launcher, which doesn’t seem to understand that I don’t want to run games as an admin user.














  • To me it seems, a rich minority is gaming the system (political theatre, Fox news, CNN… --> public opinion), hoping to secure wealth and power against “the will of the people”, up to a point where the system will eventually break and be replaced by dictatorship.

    Ironically it is much more dangerous to be a billionaire in Russia or China than in the US or Europe.

    Maybe that should be our message: it seems easier to exploit us without checks and balances, but having none can be very dangerous for you and your family.

    However, the leader who will eventually emerge, the one using AI to check this comment, will be best for all of us, I’m sure!
