Nice to see some competition in this space. Steam dropped the ball by not getting fallout London.

New to this? You go to the website and claim the game, then never play it and go back to playing whatever you were before.

You can buy it yourself. Then list for 9k again and point out it’s previously been sold for 10k. It’s been done.

Good. Nothing wrong with porn or erotification of things that don’t exist. We’re just horny beings.

I’ve noticed this too. In movies and TV, its not just the people that are beautiful, often times, its their material wealth too.
- Comment on We're deep into the baggy era mate 2 weeks ago:
So I tried to apply Hegelian dialectic to this. Either style is the thesis and the opposite style is the antithesis. There’s something about each style that isn’t appealing to each generation and so they move away from it. There’s a lack of synthesis so we never move past these two styles and never create a new one. We are locked in the vicious cycle. This suggests something inhuman is interfering with the process.
- Comment on Just got charged for reading it 2 weeks ago:
Here it boils down to:
- Network power (fixed fee based on your max power needs, depends on time as well)
- Network energy transfer (fee for energy transfered, here its about 0.018€/kwh)
- Energy (fee on the energy used, about 0.146€/kwh right now)
- Taxes
- some bullshit for maintenance and running an open market portal for companies to buy/sell energy

- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 3 weeks ago:
Geralt could go on a Gwent tour… but what’s this? Upon entering this new land of Walachia, some bandits stole his Gwent deck while he was asleep in his camp. And he had the ultra rare nude Triss card in it, too! Open, The Witcher 4: a quest for cards.

Oh yeah… from way before we got AI image generation tools… not that that has anything to do with it… dont worry about it… its from far back…
- Comment on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer 3 weeks ago:
I remember it being in W2 as well. Its just been so long since I’ve played either, I really cant articulate it well why I liked it so much. I just know I did but didn’t feel the same way about W3. In the end, I loved each of the games because they all had their own thing going for them. I don’t have a favorite.
- Comment on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer 3 weeks ago:
What I appreciated with the first Witcher is seeing the story from all sides and I dont recall it feeling black and white. Humans were shown as hating elves for their attacks, but then you get to the elves and learn their part of why they were attacking. The writing feels raw with hints of racism, vulgarism and the like. It felt right for the setting.
The Botching story line (the barron) in W3 was probably my favorite and that was a side quest. I didnt feel the same momentum going forward in the main story of W3. - Comment on Burned Loss 3 weeks ago:
Thanks for the context. I only looked at it from within the frame of the comic. From that perspective, it only seems strange to have such a tonal shift - a usually comedic comic presenting a more serious issue. So the problem was the context, got it.
- Comment on Burned Loss 3 weeks ago:
I never understood the hate for Loss (the original). Is it that it’s trying to evoke emotion? Is it because it’s a departure from the more gamer orientated content? Is it because it’s one sided? Is it actually cheap? I didn’t mind it.

Tell me, did I have a fever dream about this or does Xiaomi actually have ads in their settings and system apps?
- Comment on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer 3 weeks ago:
You could try The Witcher 1. Gameplay there is…unique. A little dated today but IMO has the best writing of the three.

But, is there a method to the madness? Or are they just assholes? Are they voting the biggest idiot because they dont live there and want to watch their country burn (assholes) or do they somehow benefit here?
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 3 weeks ago:
It is a good thing to have competition. The hate is because they are doing things people don’t generally like. Exclusivity deals for one thing. Epic can’t really compete with steam because they are too far behind on features, so they resort to exclusivity deals which aren’t really good for any consumer. One could argue it is the fault of publishers taking them, but that is just looking at it from a purely business perspective. As a consumer, I don’t really care about the business side… I don’t profit from it.
- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 3 weeks ago:
I tuck and put in breadbox. Naked in breadbox doesnt last long and it dries out. Tuck is easy to do, to undo and gets the job done as good as anything else when combined with a breadbox.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 4 weeks ago:
Alright, I need to move my main desktop to linux. Help me decide which distribution. Note that I already run a desktop-less server on Debian, a raspi on their flavor of deb and have a laptop I rarely use on fedora.
My main desktop PC is on windows and I wanna switch but im not sure which distro to switch to. The thing needs to be gaming ready for 2024 hardware. Debian is too slow to update for such a use case, I dont jive with Ubuntu philosophy, Arch is… im just not that kind of guy… so Im leaning on Fedora but I kinda dont like that it has 100 updates every time I boot it up. Is there any in between? Stable and quick with updates, but not when updates can crash the thing?

- Comment on Death Stranding 2 preview: how a big dollop of Metal Gear is expanding Kojima's bizarre epic 4 weeks ago:
It is, at its core, an exploration and infrastructure building game. A lot of the gameplay is “take X to Y” and the infrastructure you build helps you do it and determines how hard your task is gonna be. Combat is not plentiful, but it is there as an extra obstacle to overcome. If you dont find this core mechanic engaging enough, it probably isnt a game you would enjoy.

polarity issues
Not an issue, you can swap line and neutral freely. It becomes an issue if you want to use three phases and a three phase motor (because the order of phases is important) but that is covered by other sockets. Plain old Schuko is one phase, LNG.
- Comment on You could get anything you wanted and it was FREE 5 weeks ago:
I once downloaded a 650MB movie in less than 10 minutes. I dont know how that was possible at the time as I had a sub 1 mbit line. I just know I went to the bathroom and came back to a downloaded movie. Always figured it was a bug of some kind on the modem as apparently the cable modem was doing the rate limiting.
