This is my main reason. Valve has a good reputation. If I buy a game and it doesn’t work, then I can complain and will probably get my money back. I know developers will target my platform specifically.

You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000!

That’s exactly why it’s freely licensed, because we can’t even trust King Jimbo.

That’s tomorrow

Speaking of irrelevant

I just scream at them, works better than a bike bell. I think the doppler effect makes it more high-pitched, too.

After a long enough time, it eventually becomes part of the culture. People in the Virgin Islands are super nice to tourists, even if they don’t work in a typically tourist-facing job.

IMHO the resentment is when they can remember a time before tourism.

Christianity is in decline. By the next 25/25/25, it’ll just be the release date of Elder Scrolls 6.
