America elected a convicted felon. You’re naive if you think there’s any guillotines getting built.

That whole country needs to be dismantled and rebuilt

It’s only too high if they demand exclusivity.

And they don’t.

They are providing PLENTY of value to anyone who is listing their games there.

Would I like to see them do more now for small and independent outfits? I would! but 30% isn’t that much comparatively to the old days of buying physically distributed things in a brick and mortar store.

I remember buying final fantasy 2 (4) on snes and it cost 95$ US this was 1988 or 1989

Which was about 129 CAD (the exchange rate is between usd then and now is about the same conveniently for this tidbit)

Today after years of inflation it would cost about 250-260 USD or 340-355 CAD

I don’t fucking miss those days at all. And while there are multiple factors here in play, this is entirely fair to charge silksong 6 dollars ish per sale on a 20 dollar sale whilst the failing AAA games 30 dollars on a 90 dollar sale. There is a cost involved and it is because of steam, specifically steam, that made digital distribution what it is today. And by that I mean they have set the standard for what is a healthy location to sell your digital goods.

And to give an example of what garbage (yes you Tim Sweeney you giant whiny fecal faced fuck) digital distribution for games would look like if steam didnt actually do a great job, look at books.

Buying books on through amazon you pay more for them then you used to for a physical copy of the book itself.

Time to get on your knees

Yeah…

Well remember them in 25 years and file FOIA requests after they hope everyone forgot. Optimistic that will even be an option in the future I know but instead of just protesting if we just keep spamming them with requests, relentlessly who knows what we might achieve.

Since about occupy Wall Street I think we can see that any protest for a cause that is already well understood and acknowledged by the public at large(meaning the activism still needs to raise awareness that a problem exists at all) now requires some form of other actual action to gain any traction

Too many people are too complacent, unwilling, or simply unable to do more than just express their opinion.

It’s just like with abuse victims, the best results happen when they are not only able to take action against their abusers, by but face them too. Which is often if not usually a cruel injustice to have a system that only seems to get good results when it requires further trauma to those who need justice.

Whether that trauma is physical, psychological or simply even economic trauma

We COULD simply stock up on say rice and beans, then quit participating in the system that is constantly fucking over those it should be seeking to protect, we the people. But as long as we won’t and can’t simply stop long enough and have a place to sleep, clothes on our backs and food in our stomachs we will lose to those that syphon all of our labour, the sliver of time we have on this planet, we will continue to suffer greater and greater losses…

First they came for criminals, then they came for…

Hello Dolly!

Probably we could pick worse than Dolly.

But I think we might want to see the whole Epstein list first either way

I already trust you more than most religious leadership or politicians. My confidence isn’t high on this yet but I think you would already provide a better result than either of them.

You have to remain being right about everything though or we will have to begin consideration to replace you.

And I’m hoping you don’t fuck it up, it would be rather refreshing to have a leadership strategy that actually just keeps getting things right all the time

But that being said, who would we choose to provide said compass?

Uhh hopefully not

I think there is also a small town in Eastern USA that currently has an issue with everyone being too closely related

6 fibers used to be fairly common, until they started getting lynched and burned at the stake due to religiously zealotism. Or so I read one time sheet watching the princess Bride

Long pork as they say

For what it’s worth, I understood what you meant and am confused by their replies to you.

Oh you feed them you feed them the off menu special.

That actually reminds me of a story.

So in 2002 I worked at a place where the old owner still owned the property and he would come by to collect his rent cheques. German fellow, old guy.

He told a story once about growing up in Nazi Germany, he was very young at the time but old enough to remember it things.

In the town he grew up in, it was a small town, turns out one day the local butcher and his wife had the SS show up and take them off to be executed.

What they found it was Gestapo officers kept going missing in the area and everyone thought that they were taken to be questioned. No no it turned out that the old couple, who’s children had long left the town and had lived elsewhere, were snatching Gestapo officers and then butchering them and selling them by turning them into sausages.

He said the sausages tasted completely normal and everyone was quite surprised how good the sausages were given the fact they they were all eating human sausage

Scumfuck needs to hit his trillion dollar payout somehow

They DON’T

Unless you are doing that on purpose, then well played lol

it’s like eye bleach when reading

No, I am not saying that

By humans are terrible creatures and always have been. It’s a choice to be a good person, it requires sacrifice and intent.

By not acknowledging this gives them a well if I’m not human why should I try to be humane mentality.

Don’t fool yourself they are very very very human. Humans are horrible historically soeaking6

I would say that the supreme Court judges or any of the life long positions would be best served staying in office until this administration is over, even if that is a different Republican administration I would like to see someone else appointing them

Stop thinking in terms of dollar amounts, think in disparities or ratios over minumum wage/poverty line for an economic region/group

Figure out what our actual acceptable limit is and keep it there despite number of units as that will just need to be continually adjusted

Edit: crap not who i meant to reply to. Still applies though so ill leave the comment
