Steam obsessed people always cry about the lack of “features” in other stores, as if a game store + launcher needs features other than being able to buy and launch games.

Hell, I don’t even want to launch games. Just let me buy and download an exe (oh yeah, GoG does that, which is why I use GoG whenever I can…)

Sucks for devs that people just won’t buy their game if it isn’t on Steam though :/ Idk how to change peoples’ behaviour, unless Steam does something egregiously bad to users

It’ll be interesting to see what China’s true emissions are, as opposed to their reported number, given how they just lie about every metric (covid deaths, poverty, etc)

Why is Agent 47 trying to recruit us for war

It’s just flatout wrong to say it makes no sense because an acronym is pronounced as a word, not an abbreviation of its words. AIDS isn’t pronounced “awh-ids”, NASA isn’t pronounced “N-eh-sa”.

That would be true if Half Life 3 was a game that existed and not just a dream

This is strictly untrue for many climates. Where I live in Canada, 0F is average winter day, 100F is record-breaking “I might actually die” levels of heat.

-30C to 30C is not any more complicated or less intuitive than -22F to 86F

A degree Celsius is not coarse and does not require decimals in weather reports, and I suspect only a person who has never lived in a Celsius-using country could make such silly claims.

It’s a (small, shitty) subset of markdown. Slack formatting just kind of sucks.

Probably because they were raised in the post-Soviet mafia era.

If it was about the content creators, then Bethesda wouldn’t be making a cut from it

It really isn’t that much better, instead we should be periodically stretching or exercising

Standing desks - stationary standing is just as bad as stationary sitting.

Blue light filter stuff - it’s my understanding that there’s no evidence that blue light causes eye strain.

Immigration is a bandaid fix for work culture problems. People will have families and kids if they have the time and money.

I hated that movie.

Arena started it all, with the entirety of Tamriel generated for you to explore freely. Daggerfall moved that into a smaller region with political intrigue and a detailed character system. Morrowind took it to new exotic lands and introduced the series to both consoles and the world of modding and creators. Oblivion brought us to the heart of the Empire, realms beyond, and all new gameplay mechanics. Skyrim let you do battle with dragons in Tamriel’s harsh northern province.

Reading this paragraph kind of highlights when they stopped innovating

As a developer, Safari is the browser that supports the least standards and is holding the browser ecosystem back.

The headline is about exposing your IP, which frankly isn’t that big of a deal. The actual article says it exposed your IP, and then includes arbitrary code execution as the after thought… Clearly the code execution is the massive vulnerability here lol

My point was about foreign investors avoiding the ban through international students

Temp residents, including students, also aren’t included in the temporary ban which makes it basically useless

People mostly drive at what feels like a safe speed for the road, regardless of speed limit. Lowering the speed limit significantly below that speed makes roads much more dangerous
