  App stores are also monopolies who are abusing their positions. There’s been recent/current litigation about exactly that. Those other services are cool but are not just a kind service to gamers. It’s to keep the industry on their platform. It’s to increase market dominance. They could spin those services off as separate if they wanted but that wouldn’t support the market dominance so they won’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not saying they for sure will get worse. I’m saying that a market dominance gives them the incentive and ability to do it. In general, we should resist market dominance so that incentive and ability just isn’t there to begin with.

  Valve’s cost of hosting is pennies. They’re one of the most profitable companies in the US. They could lower that number to 5% and still have plenty of margin, I’d bet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  30%

  The first step of enshittification is being very pro-user. All of the good will from your users will build you a dominant market position so you can squeeze them later. We should resist any company dominating any market. Just because valve hasn’t screwed you over personally doesn’t mean we should just lovingly accept market dominance. The more competitive the market, the better.

  It doesn’t have to go public to do that. It can get sold to private equity. The original owner can pass the business to their kid who has grown up privileged and huffs their own farts. Going public is a guarantee of enshittification but it isn’t the only way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They take 30% of all PC game sales. If that isn’t abusing their position, idk what is.

  Don’t get tennis elbow patting yourself on the back. Your individual actions won’t matter unless you can bring industry with you. The best way to do that is to help people gain class consciousness. The best way to do that is by not considering your individual actions as relevant.

  You don’t pass them? When cars pass me and then get stuck at a light, I always pass them and then pull right in front of the light and block them. I want the futility of passing me to be super obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨conditional soap⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That makes so much sense I’m mad I didn’t think of it first. I’m so used to brushing a juicy knot into my hair and picking it apart for a minute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨conditional soap⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  👀 brushing from the bottom up, you say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨conditional soap⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t necessarily mean more maintenance as in more washing/conditioning. I mean that you have to more carefully consider what your hair needs. You actually need to wash your hair more often with short hair since the grease has less room to spread out. When I was growing my hair out, I knew I didn’t want to look like the long-haired metal-head with a big frizzy mess. I gradually started washing it less and conditioning it more. Now I don’t condition but I oil it after washing. That seems to keep the split ends at bay and give some nice locks without too much greasiness. If I still washed it every time I showered like I did with short hair, it would look like brittle shit.

  Are you suggesting that 6-in-one product has fewer chemicals?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨conditional soap⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When your hair is short, you can wash it with Gatorade and it’ll look acceptable. The longer it is, the more you have to maintain it. I’m a guy who grew his hair out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pitching them as cowards implies that they are afraid to do what they want. I think they actually don’t have any sense of morals at all and are happy to signal that they are on board with American fascism.

  Disclaimer: not qualified to talk about this with any degree of authority.

  I thought species were most commonly defined as naturally producing viable offspring. Animals that can produce fertile offspring but only in captivity were lumped in with mules and other hybrids.

  I’m now reiterating the disclaimer that I shouldn’t even be allowed to speak on a public forum about this subject. It’s amazing I haven’t been arrested.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have to be orchidding me!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do they do that naturally?

  Just because beanie babies exist in the real world doesn’t make them valuable. The NFT bubble was similar to the beanie babies bubble.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many bloody roguelikes or roguelites, and what really makes a game roguish?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Man I wish we had better terminology for this type of game. Roguelike and roguelite give the same energy as “Doom-clone” for every fps in the 90s. Later we called them FPS games. That genre has since been refined into tactical shooters, arcade shooters, milsim, etc. Meanwhile, we’re still stuck calling all games that have randomized runs “rogue-likes”. Being pedantic about the definition doesn’t make this situation better.

  TBF, most land predators can’t even survive in water. The real perfect predators are dolphins. They were in the water, left it, and returned just to show us they still got it.
