Before I bought a steam deck I hadn’t used steam in years. Now I’ve bought like 20 games… Its a great way to get people on steam who otherwise wouldnt be interested.

Fuckton of shrooms and must be a cop by the husbands

Just finished prototype 1 and 2 for the first time since I was a kid. Very fun and definitely recommend both, but you could probably get away with just 2.

I should not have been playing a game that violent as a kid lol

The message, especially in the second one, is actually pretty positive. And the dark humour even in mission objectives is awesome. My favourite example being that you find out some of the scientists you have in a helicopter are trying to do eugenics, so your objective is to fly them as high as possible and jump out to “fuck over the scientists”. Lol

“We outlawed the activity that this group came together to do. Isn’t it interesting how these criminals just happen to be with other criminals committing the same crime that we just made illegal??”

Dude just say its because you’re white

What a fucking insane take. Also, their concern about immigration is wacky as fuck too. ‘The ones I know are great but we can’t let them in because we don’t know them’. What does that even mean?

Also, what are you worried about illegal immigrants doing? If you can excuse raping kids, what line could you be afraid of them crossing? Or do you just need to be a white American to rape kids, otherwise its a bad thing?

The logic is honest to god fascinating. The example people give for who deserves the death penalty is usually a child predator. If you can include that in the ‘just human nature’ category, what are humans capable of that would be outside of their nature?

Its only fair to have this debate if they have someone for molesting kids and against molesting kids. Otherwise its biased.

I’ve had a PS5. Gave it away. I still have an Xbox. I don’t even know if its plugged in. The steam deck got me back into gaming in a way that I haven’t been in years. I feel like a kid again with the amazement of a piece of technology that can entertain me the way the steam deck can. I even bought a dbrand skin for it just because I love it so much. I’m playing prototype 2 and my fiancee is playing baldurs gate. When we have money we want to buy another one so we don’t have to share lol

Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction

I was worried that I was just nostalgic but its honestly a straight up blast to play. If they remastered it I would b e so excited. One of the best superhero games I’ve ever played.

Trump declaring there will be peace in the region while allowing Israel to continue to attack Palestine is insane. “There will be no violence beyond the regular genocide I’m paying for”

Can I just say, not that it registers as important compared to the actual genocide, but the amount of articles and reports and votes that say stuff like this is so frustrating. I get that its part of the bureaucratic process but holy fuck I wish this lead to… Something… Like hopefully its cumulative I guess but the number of dead and starving while we decide if they deserve it is just insane.

The idea of spending two minutes to think of “precisely the information I need” is so funny. Like… Yeah dude. If I needed to know an exact piece of information, I could probably just search for it in the regular way. Reading a book, especially a nonfiction book, teaches you a lot about the subject and allows you to back up your answer and understand the context. Having an AI tell AI to compile information that an AI will then turn into a summary is fucking useless. Just search for it on the internet if you know the exact information you need. Not to mention that if there are that many layers of AI, it would be very difficult to separate the hallucinations from the ‘good’ information presented. But yeah homie you’re an expert

What’s her name?

Well honestly this is very likely good news for him. Now, not taking over Canada is an actual national security threat…

Kinda crazy that the country that has been waiting for a tyranny since it began and has stockpiled guns the entire time is now like “hey let’s talk about it”.

I’m a noon to Linux but I still love using terminal to download apps and stuff because it just looks cool. ASCII makes me feel like I know my way around computers but I’m just installing Firefox lol

Its kinda funny that when I read “hour-long wait calls” I initially thought you were complaining about being on hold for too long. I just couldn’t imagine a scenario where they were helping you the entire time and it was positive lol

Just my two cents but as others have said, not being publically traded helps a lot. The focus on short term benefits that come with shareholders stops “master plans” when they come with mistakes. Learning from relative failures, like the steam controller and the like, ultimately contributes to major successes like the steam deck. Being able to stay committed to improving the software experience over time, instead of killing the product when it didn’t immediately succeed, is fairly rare in the tech industry. And in all honesty, it would be better if they released a polished profuct, but being committed to it made it a success.

I feel like the pressure to have a majorly successful product day one means that smaller companies can’t innovate the way they want to, so they have to find other ways to produce revenue. Huge companies, like Apple can afford to do both but still stumble, like with the vision pro. Maybe it’ll be a success, but for now its not great and iteration makes it more difficult to maintain the original vision.
