  Yeah… I imagine that Sony already knows what countries they’re selling into (like for regulatory reasons). Either they’ll expand PSN into those countries or they’ll cut some off.

  This isn’t like games on Steam requiring a PSN account (which Sony and/or Valve should have handled better). A digital-only PS6 should only sell in jurisdictions where people can buy content.

  I don’t agree with Sony’s approach, but this article is not saying anything interesting. “OMG, unless Sony expands the Playstation store, people in 121 countries won’t be able to buy games for their PS6s!” No… The PS6 won’t sell in those 121 countries unless Sony expands the Playstation store, since it will be a brick.

  My biggest beef with playing it on SteamDeck was related to network connectivity.

  I was playing at home and went a long way from base. Then I had to take my daughter to a class and threw the Deck in my backpack to play while I waited for her to finish.

  The game opened, said it had lost the connection to the server and killed me. I respawned back at base, thought about how far I’d need to walk to recover my body and noped right out of there to play Vampire Survivors instead. I never returned.

  That was a couple of years ago while the game was still in early access. If it’s now possible to play offline, I might give it another go. (It’s a nice game.)

  I find this funny, since I did a Gimp tutorial back in 2000 (early Gimp 2.x maybe, but maybe still 1.x – I don’t remember that part). I got okay with it.

  A friend asked me to do some early photo editing a couple of years later since they’d heard that I was “good at Photoshop”. I pointed out that I was actually “mediocre at Gimp”. I was plunked down at a computer with a (probably pirated) install of Photoshop and asked to touch up some photos.

  I hated it. Nothing was where I expected it to be coming from Gimp.

  It sounds like I might hate Gimp 3.
