Talking about steam, steam-powered things are 2 thousand years old at least and we still use the technology when we crack atoms to make energy.

I remember when he told that story, it was something like this: one company which I don’t want to name, so will just say it’s initials - IBM. He also authorised usage for IBM “and it’s minions”.

Why does he need suicide watch uniform? Are they planning to Epstein him?

Shouldn’t you be then using some amendment to restore democracy? Because that surely isn’t democracy.

Lol, “voting”.

Well it’s obvious that the registrar is to blame. Anyone can send emails requesting the takedown. The registrar shouldn’t do it. Are Funko and Brandshield scummy? Yes, but they are not who took down itch, it was the registrar. Also Funko calling anyone’s mother is fucked up.

It’s insane even for “less civilised countries”.

You say it like it’s okay to do if you are not fucking massive.

You can add that their client was actually a malware at some time.

Yeah, but frankly the high seas usually provide less than Steam does even with money in the equation. And that’s probably the only case when high seas is worse, with all the other services in my experience the high seas provide better service(spotify was close). So the point is if a game doesn’t release on Steam it’s release date just moves to the moment it releases on Steam. Not the best scenario, but Steam really has little competition and Epic surely isn’t trying to be one.

Didn’t you need new laptop for MacOS as well?

And it changed the Internet, for good and a lot.

That monitor looks so sexy.

VR is not exclusive to Alyx as well. I could run Diablo 2 but not HL2.

It required a good computer which I living in a third-world country didn’t have.

I wonder if at some point we’ll get a good HL3 from a different studio that have passion to make it’s worth.

It was the same for HL2 though. I played it like 10 years after it was released, didn’t make the game worse. With VR the first experience will probably be even better in the future.

That’s not a fair comparison, age matters, most people don’t get smarter or stronger when they grow old. More fair comparison would be “you can’t fight against a child”, some children are quite strong for their age, as Mike definitely is for his age, and some eager children would surely want to fight against a professional in his prime. But there’s no point for said professional to fight them apart from a show match, and you don’t destroy children or elders in a show match even of you can.

If I didn’t visit Lemmy, I wouldn’t even know how many people dislike them

“Many” is probably an overstatement. Lemmy echochamber is probably like 1% of ultra-leftwing Americans. Even among their country left wing is a minority. And overall the US is less than 5% of the world population. So for every person hating Musk you will probably find ten thousand who adore him. Just not on Lemmy.

Actually, no. The 22 amendment says that a person can’t be “elected” as President while the 25 amendment says that the Vice President shall become President in case of resignation. No contradiction here. So while Trump can’t be elected anymore he can still become President for unlimited terms.
