If anyone already owns this, request a refund.

I propose that weighting results by factors like account activity, age, “level,” and whether someone is ordering from an official Steam client instead of the website would help. Nothing stops “normal” gamers from being scalpers, but ensuring your actual, loyal customers get preference is a good way to start.

The lottery system did not work.

Be ashamed of _using_ Windows. If you paid for it, _more_ shame.

Steam Deck also makes an excellent home lab computer. It’s a shame the cheaper LCD versions are being discontinued.

That’s a few hundred dollars more than I hoped, but because of the slop-manufactured memory situation, I’m not surprised.

8bitdo is perfect. There is no reason to buy anything else these days.

This would be an exciting feature. I don’t need games to be these deeply interactive VR experiences. Just having any old game playing on a virtual 3D TV would be wonderful.

This is just my opinion, but if a game doesn’t work on Linux/SteamOS then it was never worth playing to begin with.

Not error. Terror. They missed the T.

Best he can do is cut funding for health care to fund a new military industrial complex.

Religion is a plague.

You can believe in things, even god(s) and not be “religious.” But as soon as religion kicks in, and the dogmatism and compartmentalization that comes with it, it becomes a tool of authoritarianism, which itself breeds every kind of inhuman horror imaginable.

Yes and no. Companies will always try to pass expenses like tax onto their customers. My guess is they will increase rates on customers significantly to recover some of those unexpected retroactive costs in the near term with the side effect of increasing revenue above the 3% tax in the long term.

• Sitting too close to the water with a nice sandwich can be interpreted as deliberately pissing them off.

I am 100% with you. I just think there’s a beauty in giving the US a taste of their own rhetorical medicine. I’d link to the Trump tirade I was referencing, but I don’t want to do that to myself or anyone else.

Close the border, build a wall, and make the US pay for it.

That sounds like antisemitism. /s

The old fascist playbook.

Use violence against the out group. If the out group protests peaceful, falsely claim it’s violence to increase your own violence. If the out group fights back, use it as an excuse to bring all the violence you have to bear while painting your attack as an act of “defense”.

Precisely. Note that Israel is currently holding many other members of the flotilla hostage. The excuse is that the crew are refusing to sign “deportation” paperwork… but how do you “deport” someone who never taken a breath within your borders?

Oh, Canada. How could you?
