u/elvith — Elvith Ma'for

Can confirm, mine came in a plain brown box. Obviously Valve as the sender and a battery warning label, but no other obvious hint to its contents.

After opening the first box, I found a second one that's way more telling inside, but nothing on the outside.

I was lucky and could order right on the release day. It arrived the day before yesterday. So it took quite a while, but... It got here, it feels nice, it works - too bad I haven't had the time for a longer gaming session yet...

_update incoming_

Fun fact:

`rm -rf /` requires `—no-preserve-root` to work whereas `rm -rf /*` doesn’t.

That’s because the `/*` gets expanded by the shell before the command runs and it only sees the request to delete `/var`, `/dev`, `/home`, `/usr`,… recursively but not `/` specifically.

On another note: This line in the code doesn’t run through a shell and thus this won’t work and it just tries to delete the literal path of `/*` recursively - and thus fails to do any damage…

Whew, thankfully it didn’t work on my machine!

These Tariffs may be modified, upward or downward, depending on our relationship with your Country.

First, what the fuck is that random capitalization?

Second, so your giving us _in writing_, that these tariffs ~~may~~ will be modified at will if you feel so.

Third, which country are you talking about? Europe is a continent. EU is a union of independent countries/nations.

Nobody's asking them to keep the servers running indefinitely.

Also, why not just release a docker image of your server plus a docker-compose/kubernetes deployment definition? You're usually using cloud hosting and automated deployment anyways, so you probably already have one laying around anyways...

Yeah, please everyone - keep signing! That's the total amount of support but there may be some corrections to weed out bots or fake signers in the end, so the real count is probably a bit lower.

Maybe there aren't enough ~~criminals~~ conscripts left over that are 14 years or older?

It seems like the difference between the organized crime and a corporation is only the paperwork...

A STRANGE GAME. THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS NOT TO PLAY.. ... HOW ABOUT A NICE GAME OF CHESS?

Yes, there's the border to Norway (and thus NATO) nearby. But look at the map. There's a small part of border with Norway and a huge border with Finland, which was a 'neutral' border back then. Now it's all NATO.

I somewhat vaguely remember reports from the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine and talks about Finland joining NATO, that the region around Murmansk is a somewhat problematic spot for Russia. They have a huge military presence there and it's also one of their bases equipped with atomic bombs that threaten the west/NATO. But on the other hand land based access is only possible along the long and thin stretch of land along the Finnish border in an area that presumably is hard to defend.

You’re on the right track - judging by their policies, the CDU (Christian Democratic Union) is as Christian and democratic as the far right extremist* party AfD (Alternative for Germany) is a viable alternative…

The problem is not, that my actions are questionable, but that the judgement and intentions of the people analyzing them might be


I'm with you, but perfect is the enemy of good, so let's start here. Also, of this is successful, it can be used as an argument for this ("it's like with games, which now have the legislation to force a plan for their continuation after support ended and servers shut down. Why not broaden that law to also include X?")

Same

Well, it'd only be a deal, if it was very advantageous and good for us, but bad for the US - if they're really trying to speak his language ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
