It worked for Florida's Covid numbers! All those deaths were for natural causes!

"If those dang Democrats would have stopped my decisions, we wouldn't be in this mess!"

There was a indie dev, the Spiderweb games guy, who refused to use Steam for years and he sold his games on his website. I think it was from like 2008 all the way to 2022. Refused to give Valve a cut.

Then he finally released it on Steam and he wrote a blog post how his niche games sold extremely well and regrets leaving so much money on the table for years.

I tried to find the blog post but no luck.

I played this a few years ago on GamePass and disliked it. But that was before I understood how survival games worked thanks to Valheim, Raft and Grounded.

Worth it to take it for another spin?

A few years ago, I got this game for $2 and it absolutely scratched my Destiny 2 itch. Even bought the DLC at full price.

Then the usual Ubisoft BS rolled around and I just dropped it.

It says Valve "forces" game publishers to sign up to so-called price parity obligations, preventing titles being sold at cheaper prices on rival platforms.

Ms Shotbolt says this has enabled Steam to charge an "excessive commission of up to 30%", making UK consumers pay too much for purchasing PC games and add-on content.

This is actually the norm on a lot of platforms unfortunately. Apple. Google Play. Not at all unique to Valve.

Racism isn't just a "I hate dem darkies". Slave owners loved their workers too for making them lots of money and even cried for them. Didn't mean they were willing to treat them like a equal.

The affidavit says Meyden walked out of the room, prompting a girl to text her mother at 1:43 a.m. Sunday: “Mom please pick me up and say I had a family emergency. I don’t feel safe. I might not respond but please come get me (crying emoji), Please. Please pick up. Please. PLEASE!!”

Literally speculation?

You don't wanna call it until you literally see him inside this 12yo or something?

I typically buy all the "best game of the year" games at steep discounts. Some of them really embrace a "live" game service and require hundreds of hours a season, which isn't my thing.

But my most played game last year was Vampire Survivors, A single player game that looks like it came from the SNES era.

I was so anti gaming laptop for years but my wife swears by them. I think I just got burned from crappy laptops around the 2000s - 2010s, because her latest laptop is a beast. Not to mention most PC games aren't trying to push to cutting edge specs anymore.

So I've turned around and I think gaming laptops are great!

The DoTAs and League of Legends kinda games.

Never understood the appeal honestly.

Every parents nightmare is to get a message like this.

Everyone is making jokes in the comments.

But Fuck. This. Guy.

Last month, I worked on a project to connect AI and Twitter together on my MacBook. 🤮

The shit I do to pay rent.

Last year, I tried my admin creds at my old job and it still worked. I was afraid of retaliation so I sent them a message from a throwaway email about changing their passwords.

I was so amazed at European and Asian cities that had good public transportation. Just being able to walk everywhere.

Maybe they did and Google's Shitty AI gave them the wrong answer.

Japanese seppuku style for the folks running the company.

You can also just be a police officer in the United States.

Chiquita Brands International's revenue is $3.1 billion. - Chiquita Brands International peak revenue was $3.1B in 2023.

Yep.
