- Comment on What would the next pres of USA have to do to gain back trust for America? Hold a televised event saying the last person was just a fuck up? 2 weeks ago:
Lol, yep. It’s hilarious reading the replies here, as if every government outside of US is some ultra liberal paradise that cares a ton about what the US fascists been doing. Lula was championed for not being Bolsonaro, Magyar is championed for not being Orban. As long as the next owner of russia is not putin, stops the war and returns to the status quo of mostly terrorizing their own people - everyone will restore relations with them as if everything is perfect. It would take much less effort for the likes of US.

Oof, that’s a pass. They rehash half of the work - I ain’t paying at least half of the original price.

Looks good so far, if it runs well that’s a neat surprise of the year. Fingers crossed it’s not 70€ lol.
- Comment on Why are Steam games priced unfairly in Euros indifferent to where one resides? 2 weeks ago:
It’s not an issue that needs to be fixed by us. It’s not impossible to price digital goods differently in different countries, but companies would rather close up shop than let you buy a product cheaper than in your region. At the end of the day - the lowest they can price it is how much it realistically costs and the rest is extra fees for living in more developed countries, but they are greedy and don’t care about consumers one bit.
Also the digital segregation you are describing is already rolling out anyway with ID verification, that won’t solve the problems you think it will however.
- Comment on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Director Says It Did Gay Romance "Right" By Not Going "Woke" 3 weeks ago:
If he was trying to say that, he would’ve said that. “I think the reason why our game succeeded in portraying a gay relationship in medieval times, when it was definitely not as widely accepted as it is today, was because we took that fact into account and developed the story around it, so it made sense while still representing a group that existed throughout all history.” != “We still pander to the gays for free sales but not like those woke guys.”
- Comment on Why do airports place a cap on 10,000 USD for undeclared cash? 3 weeks ago:
Exhibit A: https://time.com/6563886/arnold-schwarzenegger-watch-tax-customs-detention-climate-auction/
In certain scenarios I wouldn’t even be able to take my other phone or a tablet with me, because a lot of airports/customs consider only 1 phone as “essential” and not subject to any regulations.
- Comment on How should a news article website financially sustain itself? 4 weeks ago:
Non profit + partnerships (e.g. Google/Bing/whatever posting your articles on their start pages) and/or government grants (strictly with no strings attached).
- Comment on Anyone else looking forward to the new Starfield dlc and update? 5 weeks ago:
100%, though I hope they expand on the freeflying and let you also approach planets and land manually, even if all it does is the same loading in as from the map but with a disguised loading screen in a form of you approaching the landing spot instead.
- Comment on Is there any decent PvP FPS that's not infested with cheaters? Looking for a decent PvP FPS 5 weeks ago:
You’d think, but Joelemz is doing 100% of all CoD’s on his YT/Twitch and people are cheating in old CoD games on consoles. If there’s online there are going to be cheaters. I even encountered some in old Chivalry…
- Comment on Where can I ask less stupid questions? 1 month ago:
Yeah that’s basically what you do, but the keyboard’s firmware needs to report itself as a gamepad for it to work, Wooting offers xinput and HID modes, iirc Keychron only does xinput and then Razer I don’t remember. Unfortunately the next best thing was some smaller company that had very limited beta support for such modes, and no other company gives a shit at all.
Alternatively Steam Input would have to add support for keyboards&mice, but the suggestions on Steam forums has been unanswered since 2021, so I highly doubt it would happen any time soon.
- Comment on Where can I ask less stupid questions? 1 month ago:
On the off chance one of your desired features is gamepad emulation - Wooting is the only one that has a full proper implementation of it via xinput emulation. Keychron has partial support and Razer has full support but in a different manner (don’t remember the specifics).
