Yo it was a good time to leave back when he bought it. It was a good time again when he dumped moderation. It was a good time again when he changed the name to X. Really its always been a good time to leave. Anyone who hasn’t left by now has already ignored so many signs not even Ace of Base can help them.

Beat me to it. I remember as a teenager hearing adults laugh about this, “how could you not know coffee is hot?? Hahaha”. Holy shit the McDonalds PR really fucked that lady over. It wasn’t until at least a decade later that I learned the reality of the situation and how horrific her burns were.

Fuck McDonalds.

Man thats fucking vague click bait headline. What isotope? How much activity? What was in the water? Nah lets not talk relevant details, lets just spread uninformed fear of the nuclear industry instead.

The number of people who still think nuclear is bad and solar / wind will make up for it is really depressing. We could have had an unrivaled nuclear power infrastructure but those NIMBY assholes stopped it 50 years ago and now we rely on extending existing plants past their lifetimes while running in fucking circles about how to save the planet. Has anyone who wants to “go green” without nuclear ever looked at the power output of these things?? It’s not even the same league! AaagggghHhHhhhhhhhh

Isnt this game pretty old at this for bothering to implement this?

Either way, fuck kernel level anti cheat. GTFO with that shit

Every time this comes up I gotta say, who the fuck doesn’t like fried chicken and watermelon?! It’s like making fun of someone for liking sunshine and the ability to breathe. Not that I needed another reason to point at racists and call them a bunch of fucked up morons, but goddamn they are bunch of fucked up morons.

Great news! We’ve approved other people’s fixes for our broken game! We also approved releasing the broken game in the first place!

Wildcard is making bank by offloading their bug cleanup to their fans.

Well I play video games, and woo boy, let me tell you about microtransactions, crap DLC content, season passes, never ending early access, unfinished releases, and anti cheat root-kits! If you’re on console you pay a premium to play online, if you’re on PC you have 18 different game launchers and DRM bullshit. Digital only stuff means you don’t own your games, cant loan them or trade them or sell them. I’m sure there’s more, and admittedly there’s good with the bad. Graphics have come a long way, and some rare innovations are fun to see. I still have fun with it, but wow it is a fucked up landscape full of way more land mines than it used to be.

This is completely meaningless.

They’re are essentially trying to catch the disease and spread it via misunderstood science. Their stupidity puts us all at risk. It’s the same reason as any other law - stupidity and ignorance is not an excuse to fuck over the rest of us.

If one of us beheaded a jesus statue could we generate a similar response?

Yeah I’m gonna need an explanation for this one

Yeah I’ll believe that when they release the transcript of what he said to the minor

I’m not convinced that the people having 8 kids are demonstrating the intelligence deserving of 8 extra votes.

Holy shit you laid the bait brilliantly cause look at all the dipshits in this comment section. Fuckin dumpster fire.

Look at these dumbasses buying a DLC for a game that’s legendary for difficulty and then complaining its difficult. Its like buying soda and complaining there’s too much sugar in it. Go buy something else! Not everything needs to be turned into this mundane fit for everyone bullshit.

I’m a little disappointed he wasn’t talking about beating them in a wrestling match.

Totally harmless, if a bit ugly. Not sure why we called them sand crabs when I was a kid and would catch them in a bucket. All they do is try to burrow and hide under wet sand, so when you hold them they try to crawl into your hand. It tickles a little.

You were doing very well until everyone died.

Yup, took this off my wishlist as soon as I saw the requirement in the store. At least steam warns you about it. I would love to play this game but there’s so many other great games to play it doesn’t feel like much of a loss for me.

Or just dont buy those games.

I was wondering if I’m in the socially awkward category or the neurodivergent category… pretty sure I’m both.

Unsurprising. They already split remake up to milk more money out of long time fans, and now they’re doubling down on the mobile market. I remember long wishing for a remake and now I want my wish back. DAMN YOU MONKEY’S PAW!!!

I guess I don’t care because I never traded in this game, but this seems like a major step backwards after 7 years. For many people I used to play with trading was a major part of their gameplay loop, I used to give my loot boxes to my friends routinely because I was too lazy to do it. I will hazard a guess that this is purposefully pissing off remaining fans and a sequel will be announced soon.

Who is trying to game on a mac? Their hardware blows for gaming.

Apple has never wanted to play ball with the gaming community either, look no further than the lawsuits Epic is waging on them over the app store. Apple loves their closed ecosystem, and giving Valve any room for a foothold is counter to their strategy. There is no incentive for apple to court getting steam on their machines, and with such a small player base valve has no incentive either.

When it comes to enshittification Valve is a shining beacon resisting the tide of trends. No paying for online play. Free cloud saves. An open ecosystem with marketing methods that give everyone a chance in the spotlight, regardless of AAA status. No exclusivity for games (Epic can fucking suck it for bringing that bullshit to PC). Instead of squashing competition with shit business practices like Epic and Apple they encourage competition! They purposefully made SteamOS open source so that other companies can easily release portable PC gaming products!! They created controller compatibility when Microsoft wouldn’t, notably for playstation controllers while still releasing their own Steam controller. They created one of the first and only digital goods return policies, and frequently accept returns beyond the time limit. No one else in this industry is doing things like that. Epic wants to break in with subversive tactics while Valve is continuously improving the landscape for gamers, developers, and hardware makers. As long as Gabe Newell is alive we are in safe hands.

That said, who knows what happens when he dies? Everything is still just a license, so check out GOG for DRM free goods while you can. Buy things on other stores when they’re cheap so you have a distributed library. Maybe the ticking time bomb is there, but for the moment Valve is the last gaming company that isnt trying to fuck us on a daily basis, and I will continue to support that as long as that remains true.

Holy fuckin shit

The key word is relative. Relative to the working class? No. Relative to his peers, the many politicians taking advantage of kickbacks and insider trading? Absolutely.

Its been said already but Im going to emphasize, NO. You are already lucky your pinhole fix didn’t make it explode! Holy shit!

10-18? I dont think that’s the age group we are discussing here…

What? No way, these things can’t jump! There might be actual sand fleas or other bugs that do that, but not what this guy has in the picture

Yeah that JD Vance look. Smoke show!

Recent discussions tell me I better put the old /s in here…

Disorderly conduct. They can slap that on just about anything they want, and then at that point can follow up with the typical resisting arrest, causing a disturbance, etc etc bullshit

Absolutely, I remember seeing the original preview trailer with the tag line “Release Date: When it’s ready.” And I was like wow mad respect this is gonna rock. What a fucking bait and switch that was.

I can say I am replaying it now on the exact same PC setup I used 3 years ago and it is a completely different experience. No crashes, no glitches (so far), no random naked T posing on my motorcycle (which is kind of sad, that shit was hilarious). The skills system is totally reworked and I put it to hard difficulty and the enemies now put up more of a fight (AI is still kind of dumb tho). Cops actually chase you, you can finally shoot out of your car (there’s also new skills in the skill tree for improving vehicle abilities). Sooo it’s worth revisiting even if you don’t buy the DLC, IMO.
