Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I just think when the national gas average for the month of May was 3.50$/gal in 2023 and 3.60$/gal in 2024, and we're at 4.50$/gal now; it was disingenuous for people to feign concern over the economy when the real war was the culture war.

There's no point in engaging in a discussion when people misconflate their ego with reason. They don't argue in good faith. They subscribe to the might makes right authoritarian mindset because in the absence of reason their first instinct is to make a call to authority for the answer. In olden times it was because God said so. The hypocrisy of Christians, where the commandments say not to take the Lord's name in vain they use the Lord's name as a mean of instilling their own authority. In modern times the kids are turning to ChatGPT.

Time is a flat circle. Where the sons are predestined to live out the same mistakes as their fathers.

Despite steam having a large slice of the pie there are plenty of competing platforms, some of them having sales that are cheaper than what you can get on steam.
So if price was the only argument shouldn't 95% of the games community worship those outlets instead?

I've read arguments that steam offers other services like 2 hour/2 week refund windows that justify the higher price. If we're being honest though then devs avoid most of those refunds by focusing resources on the first couple of hours of gameplay.
Another argument are community hubs or workshops and I guess they can be a plus, in particular for indie devs. But then I can't help and compare steams solution to 3rd party solutions like FFXIAH and come to the conclusion they can't be the driving force behind steams success either.

Dang, fight harder, slobs

I want to see blood

Man, bloodsport was such a good movie.

Wonder what we going to swat our dogs with once newspapers have died out.

I've never bought a single game on Steam but as I understand it they generally have a more favorable reputation than other marketplaces for being consumer friendly, at least in terms of giant corporations.

Some people will rage at the idea of Gabe enjoying his yacht ala Scrooge McDuck swimming in his vault of gold, and these game journalists are determined to spread that as far and wide as they can.

You've found a way to completely divest yourself of junk mail?

@Draylo Hope your grow-op at least had a great yield from that power bill. Obviously /s just saying you gotta be a drug dealer to afford NYC cost of living

None of those come close to that satisfying thud that halls when a newspaper collides with a dog.
It's so good I have to wonder why news outlets haven't used this for a ad campaign.

Woah we hopped in a time machine. The sales are stuck on 2019.

Now 2022

Fun 5 minutes looking at old prices but seems to be back to normal.

Every e-shop running their own sales is their own business. Its called not having a monopoly, so the consumer can decide where to purchase their product from.

The games community worships Steam because its a reliable consumer friendly simple product. The fact that consumers are willing to pay a premium on Steam reflects that.

Steam is a colossal business that has resisted going public or using any form of enshittification. That's incredibly rare these days. I hope Gabe enjoys his yacht.

fixed

My bill for this month was 177.27

Lol we paid the same person, Draylo

All the big gaming journos gave this game 9/10 or 10/10 or equivalent.



What the actual ***.

Still better than Limbus 2025

I saw it too...

my ps5 says I've got 65 hours in crimson desert, but some of that might be afk time.

If vyre or shadow see the post give him a poke on discord or email if youre able

I already have. Sent messages about it whilst Discord went down yesterday. Nothing i can do. It's whenever they have time to take a look.

Its the hamsters.

Try feeding them then whipping them. If all else fails bury them and buy new hamsters.

Do not buy Musk's electric self driving hamsters.
