Before you ask, the accent varies based on diet.
Not exactly what you’re after but William Gibson’s Sprawl trilogy is pretty close minus the small population and only small parts of the population live in some sort of paradise. There’s also Burning Chrome, which is set in the same universe but is a series of short stories. It’s a dystopian near future sci-fi noir that is considered to have basically started the whole cyberpunk genre. Punchy writing, would recommend.
This phenomenon is called “semantic satiation”.
Ah, they lost their instance for a while there.
Kinda but some places are way worse than others (Hexbear, .ml, and lemmygrad come to mind as the most egregious, but I think Hexbear is actually gone now).
It’s almost entirely in the back yard. Good advice! Stuff near the road can be filthy from vehicles.
No, the yard is outside.My lawn is fairly wild though and a good portion of it is edible
Holy shit who said anything about worshiping? Unhinged response. Follow your own advice and touch some grass buddy.
Steam delists games, however, if you already bought it, you still have access to it.
No, I don’t.
I can (and should) look at each one on a case by case basis, compare the parts, the actual costs of said parts, and make a determination from there. In the case of Steam devices, I do not lot believe they are price gouging - you can build a similar device that’s going to be on par with or less expensive than their machine, but not by all that much.
US here: Names are all over the place.
Maybe he’ll even send me a Steam Frame! Or a yacht! I heard he has a bunch of those.
Tacos are not actors.
I’m taking this out of context and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Kind of, but I think a lot of people might view them more as take out as opposed to fast food.
Maybe you’ve have enough Internet for today but before you go, allow me to explain:
When someone says something like that, they don’t literally mean it.
“I love tacos” does not actually mean that I have genuine feelings of love for them (even if they are delicious).
It’s just a phrase.
Support the devs when you can.
Fun related fact: Most pirates end up spending far more on games and other media than the average person in the long run.
Thank you, that is much clearer!
Supposedly if Steam ever goes under they’ll unlock everything, but if you ask me: GOG is just the thing for you!
Or set sail if it’s a shitty company that stole the game you bought, arrr…
If you are a Linux user, check out Lutris for installing GOG games. I’ve been using it with Bazzite lately and its been pretty good but they also have native standalone installers for some games. Also, standalone Windows and MacOS installers where applicable.
Edit: Evidently, there are some games on Steam that are also DRM free. You just have to sign in to download it, which is reasonable as you need a good way to download it more than once without letting any random person with the link download it. Not exactly 1:1 for how GOG can work but could be worse.
Why do you think that? Turning off DRM would be trivial and they might even end up being legally obligated to do just that either because of laws or because of how whatever hypothetical bankruptcy they go through might be structured. Never mind Valve going belly up seems highly unlikely to begin with. If it does ever happen and it happens in the way you describe, piracy will absolutely skyrocket and people will stop buying games online after they’ve had their trust shaken.
Bummer their company didn’t work out but good on them for not screwing over their customers!
