You can’t do anything about it as they’re not doing anything wrong, and look terrible whining about it here
I can assure you I’ll never pay for that game now specifically because I saw this post

Lol, no

A lot, starting with violent commercialization and how unusable it is without ublock. And not in the “oh it’s a lot of ads” meaning, more the “some ads will literally hostile takeover your screen and the only way out is to close the tab” kind

everything is politics
Literally this
it’s really fun and mentally healthy
Uh oh, someone’s upset their world view is challenged by people pointing out life’s problems!

It’s probably referring to when deer shed their antler skin, but then the part where it gets up and walks into the river is probably made up from how metal the rest of the story is

Everyone knows how your system works
Clearly not
You can’t blame your voting system for your decisions
Case in point
- Comment on Some people have it worse 5 days ago:
I know your voting system well enough
The rest of your comment shows that to be untrue, especially:
but the fact is, by not voting, you are implicitly agreeing with whatever decision is made by your fellow citizens
You’re pinning it on the federal level, but people choose to vote or not on the state level. Californians who didn’t vote had their vote go to Kamala by your logic, not Trump. Follow that through and you get more votes “for” the Dems than the repubs
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 dev calls Randy Pitchford's $80 Borderlands 4 comments "gross" because it implies the FPS is more important than "making it day to day" 6 days ago:
It and it’s DLC sold just fine because BL3 is miles above BL2 in gameplay (though yes it’s story and voice acting are painful, 2 hasn’t aged as well as many of us might remember it did in that regard, either)
Tbh I expect the same thing for this one: better gameplay, worse writing

Assuming you meant “voted”:
No, I and many others didn’t, actually, maybe learn how our voting system works before throwing gover half the country into a bus with less than half the country

- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 1 week ago:
That doesn’t even take into account that modern games also have larger budgets compared to back then.
It also doesn’t take into account how much more they make even at the lower price points
If game companies want more money for their games they can start by cutting the worthless CEOs, not raising prices

Didn’t pre-order PS, 3, or any of the others, why would we for this one?
Especially with Bl3 getting their eula updated to be horrible
- Comment on Grieve with me 1 week ago:
Also a decent idea to snag a magnetic charging adapter to avoid this in the future
Got one that plugs into my phone and a few of the other end for cords around my house and car, totally worth the 15 bucks I spent
- Comment on Rawr 1 week ago:
Every manager I’ve encountered requires unlocking before it’ll fill anything in, meaning it is MFA usually
The 3 factor types are something you are, know, and have. On my phone for example I unlock my device with a pin code and my password manager with biometrics (know & are)
It gets iffier on desktop devices for sure but if you get a cheapo fingerprint scanner you can make it guaranteed MFA ezpz, unlock the PC with your fingerprint and enter your password to get to the password manager

You have to test the result and with Linux you have to test dozens of distros
Lol

“signing the contract” doesn’t happen at most places, an offer is more than enough to constitute reasonable cause to start preparing to move for a job
If you wait to start moving your gonna not have a place to live with that new job, shit takes time

I got unemployment in California in a very similar scenario, pretty sure they explicitly state something like this is a valid reason somewhere on that hellhole of a website
Idk about other places in this dumpster fire of a nation, but silicone valley is here, so maybe?
- Comment on Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal. 1 week ago:
If you’re as far along as the guy in OP then you’re being irresponsible to not be looking for a place to live. Dude got the job and had it pulled from him, this would get him unemployment in California at least
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 1 week ago:
Actually, I think that might be harder than you’d imagine, at least as things work right now
Valve would probably need something in the Proton API to help ensure programs don’t think each version is a different PC as that is kinda the point of how Wine/Proton work (by creating a fake virtual PC and running things through that), or change how prefixes are handled so that all proton versions default to the same prefix (which would have other issues im sure)
None of which would be a problem if they just exported the game from their software into a native Linux format, of course. Doom runs on Unreal, yeah? Should take 0 effort to make a native Linux version of the game, but they won’t

Youre acting like we should only boycott Microsoft
The thread is about a Microsoft product, so of course they’re going to discuss Microsoft specifically
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 1 week ago:
so I am sure the cost of supporting Linux users was not worth it.
What’s so fucking annoying about these DRM issues is that basically all of the AntiCheat and DRM we have WORK ON LINUX IF YOU ENABLE ONE FUCKING SETTING
Easy AntiCheat for example is quite literally a checkbox at some point of compiling or whatever, I’ve seen someone do it!

This implied argument, which is the real argument
Ah, so you’re calling them a terrible person because you misunderstand what’s going on in their reply, gotcha
- Comment on Oof 1 week ago:
There are states like Texas that don’t have income taxes, but they make up for it by taxing everything else through things like sales and property taxes
Fun fact: last I checked (~2 years ago) TX was like 8% more taxed than famously tax-happy CA, which pissed some Texan dickheads off when I pointed it out
- Comment on Oof 1 week ago:
An important thing to note is that 50% don’t pay federal tax, as you said here
They still pay sales tax and taxes of that sort (which actually are significant), just not the federal income/property taxes
