Yeah man you hit it right on the head. None of these companies can be good because by nature they can’t. Decent companies can exist and they recognize customers as who are important.

Customers want a lot. Valve delivers a lot of what they want, gas lights some (I just assume), and the ones who are fucked are few comparatively speaking.

All I can think of is the dude inside the oil tanker in water world

What a horrible existence

I had to download a file search program because Windows is such shit. This program searches both my harddrives in no time and iirc shows folder file sizes.

I’ve used windows since the 90s. I’m finally switching to Linux when I get a new PC.

Worked for my dad and a couple other people I know.

Not the same story for me but hey that’s life

I recently drank a rose flavored sparkling water (Waterloo brand I think) that tasted almost exactly like alcohol (and rose I guess). I took one sip and had to throw the rest out.

You might like it for the taste and none of the effects.

Sports game based around cheating (including murdering opponents) and covering it up could be fun

There were more than one person using different techniques to screw with the LLM bots. Haven’t seen anyone but them personally in a whole. I think they also mentioned their job or hobbies include something with old language.

I highly doubt changing a couple characters screws with the data scraping much. Or that it matters if it does but I also understand wanting to protect your own thoughts and words.

Same here

I think I’ll try again this weekend

I loved coin pushers as a child. More so than every other gambling game in arcades.

I still like coin pushers. The few times I’ve been to arcades (the non good kinds) I’ve had fun with the coin pushers. Not the same fun as a child but still.

Most of the coin pushers on steam suck. Coin Push RPG is halfway decent. I’ve played enough to get my money’s worth.

I have this game wishlisted. I’m sure it won’t be the same as a kid but hopefully the extras will make it fun.

As a side note on the gambling thing, I sometimes play the lottery but I definitely have a problem with gambling. I stay away from real gambling as a rule. I know myself.

I’ve owned this game for a long time. Never can get into it. Bounced off limbus company too

Got more time in library of runia but not much. It’s a shame because the world of the games really draws me in.

I just played some an hour ago. I’ve had it for a while and haven’t played much. I’ve only unlocked three characters and two levels.

It’s fun. I very much enjoy the sound of skeletons bones clattering when they die.

Movement seems slower than any other survivors game I’ve played. It’s a little too slow for my taste but upgrades and gear do make it faster.

I agree you should go back to it. The aesthetics are fantastic.

Ah I was going off what I heard from people living in the UK. They might have been wrong.

But steam cards are just steam gift cards

I imagine they have steam cards in the UK.

The age check is only with credit cards though. Debit cards won’t verify your age.

They force you to open a line of credit if you can’t verify your age via the other methods they have.

“because AI reads that ads also” is fucking funny

You’d think summarizing just the article is something a LLM could do. Ah well

There was also a study going around claiming that llms caused cancer screenings by humans to decrease in accuracy. I’m not a scientist but I’m pretty sure the sample size was super small and localized in one hospital?

Anyway maybe they’re remembering that in addition to the automatic AI hating down votes.

Not that I’m a fan of AI being shoved everywhere but this isn’t that

Oh gross

My parents have a garage full of junk. It used to drive me crazy. We have strong storms where we live and a tree/branches falling are a real possibility of damaging their cars. Plus hail storms sometimes.

It’s mainly my moms stuff. Some of it is worth money but it’s not being sold or anything.

If they used the garage as something other than storage it would be one thing. Instead it’s full of stuff for no real reason.

I also need my weighted blanket. Well, need is a little strong. I vastly prefer having over other blankets.

Can’t do sheets they’re far too light for me

I really liked the first one when I was younger. More than it deserved probably. It hit a lot of the right stuff for me.

I don’t have any good expectations for this new one. It should be something I’m looking forward too but I’m not. Much less pre ordering it.

I hope it’s good. If it is I’ll play it.

I was watching some TV with friend. Show on prime and on Hulu.

Both had ads. Granted they were far less than actual television is but I do not miss ads at all. They really spoil the experience. Especially for a paid service.
