I see where the confusion is.
“Brat” can also refer to adults.
- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 1 week ago:
First, it’s not true that there’s no protection - various anti-cheat solutions do support Linux.
Second, “strong” solutions still let through cheaters, because client-side anti cheat is an inherently unwinnable cat-and-mouse game. It’s better for everyone to block kernel-level AC and instead force better backend solutions.
- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 1 week ago:
Not sure I understand - games with kernel-level anti cheat also still have cheaters.
- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 1 week ago:
Currently kernel-level anti cheat isn’t available for Linux, so games that are released with multiplayer support don’t require it (e.g. games that enable Linux support in EAC).
If kernel-level anti cheat is supported by Valve, many of those games will start requiring it. So if you don’t want kernel stuff, there’s a real chance this development will reduce the number of available games in the future.

Fixed save points in general.
To be fair, non-fixed savepoints introduce a bunch of additional work, especially on the gameplay design and testing sides, and for some games that work is better invested into other aspects of the game.
But if savepoints are fixed, they have to be frequent enough to not become an issue.

Wait. Did Vince Gilligan add that one awkward scene (with Skyler doing the thing from the meme) to secretly imply that Marilyn Monroe ordered the hit on JFK?

Wow. Just… wow. A huge number of people all over the world struggle with addictions and go as far as committing suicide without ever seeking help due to the shame & prejudices associated with them, and your response is “those people are morons”.
Wow.

How do you know it came on suddenly? The article says:
Within two years of beginning to take the drug the married father-of-two says he developed an uncontrollable passion for gay sex and gambling - at one point even selling his children’s toys to fund his addiction.
“Within two years” implies that it developed over this time frame. That’s anything but sudden, especially since it most likely started off with sporadic impulses and got more intense over time - how addictions usually go.

Do you really think the average person would think “oh, surely there’s a straightforward medical explanation” instead of being ashamed & hiding the issue? Especially if they weren’t informed of this being a side effect of their medication?

I’m sure that would work, but giving weed to people who are still developing is not acceptable, even for religious purposes.

It does in-universe, but out-of-universe it came later & is less recognizable than SCP.

Interesting, I didn’t know that! Though honestly the perfect description.

I get it for most of those, but SCP isn’t really an abbreviation.

- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 4 weeks ago:
Not sure if it’s my absolute favorite, but Pathologic has fascinated me for years.
There are so many strange and unique aspects to the world (especially the Polyhedron, an impossible tower floating above the town) that already make for excellent world building, but when they come together it creates a feeling I haven’t felt from any other world.
You know how Lovecraftian horror has a very distinct feeling? The world of Pathologic makes me feel something vaguely similar, but completely unique - no horror or aliens, but the feeling of powers existing far beyond our understanding combined with people who somehow do understand small parts, and the consequences of their choices affecting everyone… it’s really hard to put into words, but it feels like it created its own genre.
