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)

It’s a clear cut example of dog whistling. Without literally saying it, she engaged with the conversation in a way that tells conspiracy theorists “the US DoD is chemtrailing us”

What makes cop shooting ranges so special that they can’t just pay to use public ones?

Why is Agent 47 trying to recruit us for war

Fundamentally, the only people against this simply don’t believe in covid. You don’t see them crying on the internet about employers not letting people work on construction sites without hard hats - it’s basic safety. As long as you accept that covid is dangerous, then you have no issue with employers requiring a vaccination.

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”.

Ethical business? Wat? Our economy is propped up by a housing bubble and resource extraction

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

Singh had many reasonable opportunities to do this over the last few years, but finally pulls the rip cord when the Conservatives are polling way ahead? What the fuck? He’s such a useless piece of shit, why do the NDP keep him around

This is the same argument that my original comment is against. You just labelled the Liberal + NDP bucket as “left”.

If we had a ranked ballot (I don’t actually want ranked ballot, but it’s useful for demonstrating my point), I would rank NDP as 1 and not rank Liberals or CPC because I don’t like either of them. Just because the Liberals are left of the CPC does not make them “left”, and does not magically earn them every NDP vote.

Likewise, I’m sure there are Liberal voters who would rather have CPC than NDP.

There is no collective “left” of all NDP + Liberal voters.

I hate this mentality of bucketing Liberals and NDP together. They’re different parties with different policies, and one of the main benefits of PR is that leftists don’t have to compromise our values and vote Liberal just to prevent Conservatives from winning. Treating it like left vs right just pushes us towards the Democrat vs Republican in the US.

Bernie isn’t senile

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.

PP is the only option that is worse than Trudeau. Good thing there are other choices

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
