To be fair to Steam, the DRM is optional for developers. You can pressure those developers not to use it. That being said, Steam could have a DRM tag so you could filter out the DRM games.

Money isn’t real.

I was playing UT2k4. Epic was linux friendly back then and I wasn’t interested in the other stuff.

Also, I didn’t say I was a linux user back then. I just said that mac and linux lived rent free in their heads. It was the same as the console war bs back then.

How much do you want to spend? You could find a junkyard pull that may or may not be better then what you have or a rebuilt engine what should run like factory, but wont address things like a rusted frame.

If you want a different engine, you’re going to have to deal with whatever quirks that come with that and you may not have anyone to ask for help if something happens.

You’ve never been to a LAN party when those where bigger. Completely unprompted, windows users will shit on mac and linux users.

Bleach to sanitize it. Steam clean it to get debris out of whatever cracks and seams there might be.

“last sane windows left”

And the bullshit started a long time before that. I think people were complaining about win95 phoning home to MS.

Steam clean and bleach would do the trick. The story is probably fake.

I always used multiple emails, depending on whether they were for professional use or hobby use.

I mean, there is a direct path from the marketing mindset that gave us OG He-Man to Andrew Tate.

I’m sure there would be videos of civil rights activists and anti-Nazi Party activists being dragged out of their respective town halls if cellphones existed back then.

This shit has been going on for decades.

I would like to be able to navigate up a comment chain. Sometimes, people will reply to an old comment I’ve made and I can’t figure out which one it was. Is this some quirk of twitter that got brought over to bsky?

A lot of his comics were just based on stories his fans sent him. They weren’t really his ideas anyway. If you want to dive deeper into his own mind, check out his Bob Bastard episode of his cartoon. It’s incredibility incel coded.

Popo was based on Jinns or genies. Staff Officer Black, yes that’s his name, comes more from the Japanese getting a lot of Jim Crow era cartoons, but not knowing the historic baggage that comes along with it. It was mostly considered a racial caricature that didn’t really carry the same sort of hate we know it for in America. He also had Native America caricatures that most people don’t seem to have an issue with.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be looking to Toriyama for anything other then “Big Guy punches other Big Guy until one goes down”. He’s politically naive, not hateful. There’s a short list of other manga-ka who’s politics and… crimes should give you more concern. How Nobuhiro Watsuki is a free man bogus my mind.

Just be glad they didn’t use a harder slur and censored it.

Adams was always a little weird. He just masked it better until his divorce. I knew he was a crackpot in 2007 with his “Fossils are Bullshit” article.

You also have Brian Johnson’s blood transfusions and it wouldn’t be a stretch that Musk’s children are all potential organ donors.

That was my theory to why Zuck was so interested in his Metaverse. Every billionaire is planning some sort of post-life or extending their lives one way or another. The same way kings and emperors of history have.
