  I love steam as much as the next guy but monopolies are bad and we should support other businesses when we can. When Gabe dies who knows what happens to all the steam games you “own”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My tender eyes and ears⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Firefox mobile + unlock origin works for me

  But I use usually anyway

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah ok that’s why its not a steaming pile of shit. I remember when they streamlined it but didn’t realize there was a change over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they own hitman but honestly I still prefer blood money anyway. Play the oldies, goodies or the new Indies, goodies.

  It heats, cools, you can buy one with automatic filtering, and it stores the oil. That’s literally all the complaints they had?

  Nah she got a 5head

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The shrinkflation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought a deep fryer for $100ish. Makes it easy. Turn it on, come back 10minutes later, cook food for 4 minutes and then eat. It is a bitch to clean though but depends on how thorough you want to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do Costcos usually have an ATM machine?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  USA. Costco has a partnership with visa and only visa credit cards work. You can however use a MasterCard or others if they are debit. I have never tried online but in store this is how it works

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to understand credit scores⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My credit score is nearly 800 and I’ve given credit card companies $0.00 but they reward me with cashback for using them. Its basically debit with rewards but you do you king

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone has a LOT of dusty computers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Its still paid after but you can see the tip first and deny it if it’s not to your liking.

  *I don’t agree with tipping culture and how disgusting it has gotten but just being pedantic I guess

  Sell product based on IP and brand name while delivering the bare minimum of product. Nintendo’s MO for 10+ years now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale is sending out emails which allow people to register and reserve usernames⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Its probably more they just want to let streamers and people get their names instead of being impersonated. But yea, security usually falls by the wayside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sorry guys⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is fascinating. Thanks for sharing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sorry guys⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “An ant mill was first described in 1921 by William Beebe, who observed a mill 370 meters (1,210 ft) in circumference. It took each ant two and a half hours to make one revolution.”

  I’m curious where he found it. Sounds like quite a sight
