I don’t buy many games off Steam either tbh. Most of my 1000+ games are from bundles.

My most recent purchase was the first Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider trilogy because they were about 80 pence each.

The sales are not what they once were, but you still get the odd bargain.

You make a change. It doesn’t fix it.

You change it back. The code now works.

I mean it doesn’t even matter that it is. It’s not a secret who the money is going to.

The important part is that it can’t be reversed by a banking authority.

Yeah, but you still can’t explain monads.

The “they catch fire” argument is fucking bonkers anyway.

If there’s one thing petrol cars are famous for, it’s being filled with flammable liquids that can and do leak everywhere and combust upon collision.

You can ignore them. Same with all the disingenuous cunts who complain about wind turbines “spoiling the view” who ignore the coal and gas power stations that have littered the skyline for over a century.

Isn’t this part of the plot of the later seasons of Silicon Valley?

Two bits of security software.

Makes me wonder if there’s been a concerted effort to hack these accounts, and some automated security process has locked them out.

Remember when we armed “Syrian Rebels” and then a few years later had to go and fight a suspiciously well armed ISIS?

It’s a neat idea, but I suspect there are just so many variables it will be as accurate as taking your temperature by sticking your finger up your arse and guessing…

Most savvy PC gamers will have a pretty good idea how well a given game will run on their rig already. If the game is old it’ll run well (providing it doesn’t crash due to oddities in really old games), and as long as it’s more powerful than a PS5 there should be at least some combination of settings that will let you run any new title.

The moon is about 1.3 light seconds away.

2600 ping is a lot, but people have likely played with worse. Just not very well.

Gonna be some serious ping times.

I mean they already killed their own.

Can you transfer your games legally to another person?

There is your answer.

No wonder it feels more crowded

That’s pretty much what a browser needs these days.

Look on the bright side, at least they don’t have to work for Larry fucking Ellison any more.

I’m not rallying against SSL. Just an example of browser warnings.
