  • I've never heard of Valve trying to prevent a developer from distributing their game on other PC store platforms, it's quite an assertion.

  • It's fucked up that you can just pull that fact out of thin air and drop it on a DnD post.

    Take my upvote you sonnovabitch

  • If anticompetitive means "it's your choice to enter into an agreement in which we host your game for 30%, and distribute it on our platform, with unlimited patch updates, and unlimited user downloads, and a fuckton of features like community forums, guides, groups etc., also if your game is good we will promote it free of charge"

    Then I suppose companies like Epic who choose to run at a loss, as opposed to providing a good service, have no chance, and Steam is anticompetitive.

    The counter narrative exists though, Steam is just a good service, and if you want to compete with them, you need to provide a good service, like GOG.

  • I wasn't strictly talking about the definition of covidiot, I was referring to the virus' transmissibility; indoors vs outdoors.

    There has been a lot of misinformation during covid, from both sides, and virtually everyone needs to accept that they were wrong about certain things.

    For example, I was forced to change my mind about the safety of the vaccine. I still personally believe most people should have been vaccinated, but we need to accept that it didn't do what was expected.

    At the end of the day, Covid is a respiratory virus, and the consensus of indoors vs outdoors transmissibility had been reached decades ago.

    I appreciated the measured response, it's rare to see people sincerely reflect on their beliefs so quickly without feeling condescended.

  • One of the most helpful mindsets I've adopted was accepting that I don't want to be wrong any longer than I have to be.

    Strangers on the internet don't care. The only person you're hurting is yourself.

  • Wow. I used to follow the development of Overgrowth, and now they're suing Steam? What dickheads...

  • I did say at least once a day.

    I don't want to presume Fucker is right more than that.

  • Definitely don't pity him. This cunt is responsible for people dying. I'm not being hyperbolic either.

  • Just to play devils advocate; his leaked texts confirmed he never believed some of the stuff he said (which makes him more of an asshole).

    I wouldn't be surprised if he was pressured by Murdoch etc. to push certain narratives.

  • Wait, Fucker Carlson made a good point? Broken clock is broken at least once a day I suppose.

  • I wonder how long before someone starts getting offended on behalf of cavemen for the phrase Ooga Booga.

    Seriously though, perhaps RPG's just aren't for OP. Some people get enjoyment from taking things slow, learning all the mechanics, and building the most powerful character possible within the limits of the game.

    Many people choose not to cheat in games like this to give yourself max stats because that's where the fun is, as opposed to a a game like borderlands, where an already maxxed out character can still be challenged with the endgame content which scales to their level.

  • It's not a contradiction at all.

    The intent behind saying "I support pride month" was about what it represents, not the vocabulary used, which is what I went on to articulate.

    I'm really not looking to get into it, but I am convinced LGBTQIA+ people are marginalised and discriminated against.

  • Those are my quotes.

    I stopped conversing with them after they misquoted me after replacing "rightfully" with "morally".

    Don't waste your time trying to change their mind, they've already decided you're the one who's wrong.

    The worst part is we're evidently all on the same team, yet we're made out to be Elon supporters.

  • They aren't "pummeling boats", they're headbanging ffs

  • As long as he pays for the cost of the GPU depreciation.

  • The irony of claiming I'M the selective one by quoting me, but missing the next line which reads "I think the language is kind of wrong".

    The implication is I support the idea of a time to celebrate marginalised communities and to raise awareness for their current battles, but I think the word "pride" is the wrong word.

  • Absolutely. Tribalism is toxic.

    At least Linux is a choice.

    I use Arch BTW.

  • It's evident you're arguing in bad faith. I never claimed its morally wrong to attend a pride parade unless one has experience homophobia. I'm out, peace
