Damn girl, do those arms go all the way down?

It’s really hard to find any sympathy for people whose entire business model is to leach money from young impressionable men. It’s almost like their asking “Please stop extorting us, so we can continue extorting our own clientele in peace.” And don’t tell me that all those men are giving up their money voluntarily. It’s like saying the gambling addicts put their money in the slot machine volutarily, therefore it’s not a problem. No self-respecting individual in their right mind would or should enter his card information and buy naughty pictures of some rando, while there’s a backlog of billions of them online for free. Rub one out and get in with your day.
They can themselves “sex workers” while there is literally zero sex in their work. Imagine thinking that posting pictures of “yourself wearing short skirts” ads any value to society. Actual sex workers at least provide physical and social comfort, even if it’s just an act, it’s still a professional form of commitment.
Do those women ever stop and think why there is no one stepping in for them and preventing this scam from happening? Almost like what they do has zero value to people with the actual power to do so.
Maybe take a long hard look at yourself and see your accounts being suddely deleted as an opportunity to freshen up that resume of yours and get a real job with taxable income.
Also the fact that this is happening to the 0.0X% of highest earners, is ironic. Usually, it’s the lower end that gets scammed the most.
Except on a Tinder dating profile.
500kg bomb works wonders against them.
Houseplants. I feel like they are slowly disappearing. My grandma has plants in nearly every window, but us younger folk would rather have a Displate with a picture if a plant instead if an actual plant.
Not posting this was free and you still decided to do it …
Going on a run in the morning is a good way to guarantee that your day can’t get any fucking worse.
I think DLCs are becoming a thing of the past in general. Usually the data for the DLC comes with the main game, you just buy a license to unlock it. I can’t remember the last time I bought a DLC and hat to download something additionally or update my game. I’m not a fan of it, but this is where we are going. This just means that wherever you bought the main game from, you will also have to buy the DLCs, since companies will never accept to share licenses between each other. This is not a Steam issue, this is a developer issue.
You have to bring your own. You may play with the other dogs if they approach you.
So can’t I, what’s your point?
Jane (Krysten Ritter) from Breaking Bad. Because… just look at her.
I’m on the 4th book but finished the series. How does she have any red flags? Given what she’s been through and her profession, she seems to be fairly well composed individual. Great friend and always kind to the people important to her. It’s like dating a trucker, them not being around often and being somewhat detached comes with the territory of their profession.
Did you say “Dogs at work”? Deal.
Yeah, but why? They would still all be owned by Valve. Or are you suggesting the government forcefully taking away private company assets?
Yes. The way it works now is:
But presumably with the new system, your computer will just receive a continuous bitstream with ads embedded in them. What was previously happening on your machine through HTML or JavaScript and was detectable by ad blockers, will now happen on YouTube servers beholind the scenes.
I think you severely underestimate the cost of hosting servers for ~46.000 Games, across 9 regions, in 190 countries, with 500Mbit download speeds. On top of that billions of screenshots, trillions of lines of text, customer service, development of new features and hardware, etc.
Valve has an est. revenue (not profit) of roughly $10 Billion this year. Tencent Games has an est. $85. How is Steam even remotely considered to be a monopoly in gaming?
Those things put seperatly Steam is far from the best option , except for the store part because that’s their main thing.
The launcher part is just part of Steams basic DRM, some games can be started from their directory without Steam running.
The subreddits and Discord servers for certain games are usually more organized, cohesive and feature better fan made content than Steams Community Hub.
Nexusmods is far superior to the Steam Workshop in every single aspect.
For Reviews most people go to YouTube and watch a video. Steams review system is more an indicator of general reception rather than actual gameplay.
Steam doesn’t try to squich all the other platforms they just provide a convenient alternative to them. So why are all those things suddenly an issue.
How do you even enforce breaking all those things up? Should there be a law that all governments agree on, that states Steam exclusively can’t host mods anymore? Should they be split up into subsidiaries, like Steam Store, Steam Community, Steam Mods etc.?
No, but anything can be grounds for a lawsuit as long as you have enough money to throw out. And given that they are being sued by the government, all bets are off.
That’s my whole point, none of the provided arguments are a good reason for a lawsuit. This has early 2000s “It’s those darn videogames” vibes, except this time instead of saying that their doing it to protect our children, they are openly doing it to get the money.
Like, I know we’re a bit dyslexic, but could we not skip the word “news” on this one? We cool, brain?
