  Hope this becomes affordable enough to utilize. The main problem with optical disks is the length of time. Still would be nice to have something as convenient as a usb drive even if it can’t be rewritten. Disks were sorta of annoying to put some stuff on and then a bit more and a bit more.

  I like rpg’s where you have a lot of options for character or team customization.

  I think the misunderstanding is with you.

  Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information that may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically inconvenient, or morally questionable by an authority or group.

  In this case the group is steam. Government censorship is not the only kind. You can have corporate and even self.

  yeah the main thing is no special wiring needs to be done or additional expensive setup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Balcony Solar is coming to the USA, sort of⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a balcony that already has a 120 plug. Can’t wait for this and honestly im hoping it will also allow for an easy battery to be used whole home.

  For small devices its mostly about not accidentally breaking the cable which magnetic attachers do just fine.

  does it matter. weren’t those setup so they got a slice of every transaction? If I that is the case and I understand it right then any activity is essentially money to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  well by employed they mean they don’t want to pay contracted rates but they also don’t want to pay for benefits. so employ pay and contractor benefits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many bloody roguelikes or roguelites, and what really makes a game roguish?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its sorta funny hearing the term for me because I can’t away from thinking about ascii dungeon crawls when I hear roguelike.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which of the two would you purchase for someone who’s not so technical?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From my experience if you have something working then its fine. I mean if you are going to add the games and add them to the steam menu so she just needs to click on them to play. If she is not expecting to go out and find games and such which I assume she is not given she could not with the switch.

  Im pretty much always against censorship. As described it does not sound sexual as its just nudity and this riding thing. I mean nobody talks about lady gadiva like she fucked a horse. The hill to die on is weird to me to use in this situation. Its one conversation about something that neither of us has any ability to effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"It's extremely frustrating and also f*cked up" - one of the world's best indie studios is facing shock closure following confounding Steam ban [Eurogamer]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  well of course. if the state said take it down it would be different but this situation does not seem to have any legal issues.

  They were common enough in movie stores when I was in high school and college. I feel our society has gotten just that much more prudish in the new millenia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"It's extremely frustrating and also f*cked up" - one of the world's best indie studios is facing shock closure following confounding Steam ban [Eurogamer]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think obligated as much as they should not be concerned and there should be no backlash to them for stocking it as long as its separated appropriately. Video storms had porn rooms in the back of the store with some signage and people seemed to be able to handle it and get its an adult thing. Heck maybe even have a second but related steam.XXX site where you have to do bullshit verification to peruse. Then require any game that goes over some threshold of whatever to only be visible there. people can login with their steam accounts and have them connected provided they jump the additional hoops. these things are not impossible to work with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"It's extremely frustrating and also f*cked up" - one of the world's best indie studios is facing shock closure following confounding Steam ban [Eurogamer]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah but it should be on the author not the distributor and those people wigging out are more the issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"It's extremely frustrating and also f*cked up" - one of the world's best indie studios is facing shock closure following confounding Steam ban [Eurogamer]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah but thats the point of X. its not R. I mean clock work orange is all kinds of effed up but its a great movie. X means graphic sex, or violence, or worse. I think they had another designation at some point that was like super X but I think folks never really paid attention to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"It's extremely frustrating and also f*cked up" - one of the world's best indie studios is facing shock closure following confounding Steam ban [Eurogamer]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This seems dumb. Give it an X rating or whatnot and limit it to adult purchases.

  depends on the way you look at it. being paid for what you contribute or contributing to get pay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was talked about even 15 years ago. The os does not make them much money over office and azure so it was thought they might get out of the os game. I mean they do a fair amount on other peoples mobile oses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing the economy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  this sounds like the housing market stuff. you want folks to spend then get them jobs that provide for food and shelter and utilities and health insurance and then enough extra to spend on stuff.

  Coming from the us there seems to be three types of people. People who see the country as on the razors edge of becoming an unacceptable place to live for any modern person, those gung ho about it, and those who are aware but yeah day to day is day to day.

  as said common in usa but I swear I saw a tech to like burn print things with peels to make these unnecessary. Feels like if it worked well enough we should be seeing it by now.

  Got me. I get a little annoyed with subgroup specific stuff like veterans and cops. Its like how bout we help everyone equally? Nope can’t do that. I mean we don’t have universal healthcare even but hey if we can’t do a citizens income how about universal snap.
