Disk write error.

Almost like the error has something to do with writing to the disk.

As in the disk may have an error in which Steam cannot write to it.

What else is Steam supposed to say? it’s literally pointing to the error, it can’t do anything else. If you don’t know how to pour through logs or anything that’s okay, that’s what Geek Squad is for

Agreed. It’s not because we’re all going to be swimming in CXMT ram. It’s because it’s going to hopefully force everyone else to suddenly be competitive.

That is actually exactly what I was thinking of. A game so bland and corporate that it gave away its soul. The title is proof. The name went from Dragon Age: Dreadwolf (A name all the fans were excited about and a direct successor to the massive cliffhanger) to Veilguard. You could just tell it went through so many committees and had to be approved by 16 layers of middle management.

Elder scrolls will be the same.

I was reading their earlier comments trying to figure out why they were removed, and then got deeper into the thread. Jeez. Then they wonder why they get banned everywhere. They really came into the place we called home and decided they were going to be an ass to all of us? Then are surprised when they get banned?

It was pretty well theorized that by killing off apis they were cutting out their highest content providers, us. We provided free content and they got value out of it. Then they didn’t want us anymore.

Now we are here, thousands of comments and posts, and they are upping theirs with AI slop

Oh the DLC are phenomenal. Few games get high praise for their DLC but Mass Effect 2 and 3 do. Citadel is the perfect capstone to the trilogy, and if you haven’t played ME3 with Citadel well you are in for a treat

Horrible tradeoff from a gaming standpoint. I’m sure numbers show it’ll be wildly profitable and of course they should have done it. We all know tens of thousands of people will happily buy a battlefront 3 as well.

We had one great Mass Effect trilogy that brought love and hope to so many, I loved it so dear, while I’m sad there won’t be another I’m also so glad we got the trilogy. It’s such a huge part of my life in so many deep personal ways. If that’s the way EA wants to sever my relationship to them, so be it.

If that’s it I’ll be annoyed just because sentinel is such corporate word. It feels corporate doesn’t it? Yes it’s a city there, but it’s the “safe” sounding word. I’m just bracing for the next elder scrolls to be like Starfield. Toxic positivity and writing right out of big corporate thinktanks.

It is, but I’m guessing they know pretty accurately how many will actually take the deal, like 20k or something. Still an insane number, an entire town leaving.

So they’re just being transparent that “in office” is a cleaner way of laying people off.

Personally I like Sable, it feels closer to Discord, has call support, and “just works”

It is, but I’ll honestly give Microsoft credit here. I have several friends who work there who are nearing retirement, and this is honestly the best way to do it. You leave with dignity, you get a fat check, and you get to retire early. I have a couple who have done it already. Honestly, as far as layoffs go, it’s the best way to do it.

The only gotcha is if you choose to stay you officially know you’re on notice, you probably shouldn’t trust it. If you don’t take it then tomorrow you could be shown the door with a minimal severance, or no severance at all.

Christians are always so freaking cringe. It’s not even their beliefs IMO, just their awkward need to put it in everything. Nothing can be fun without something related to their personal beliefs. Then they wonder why everyone is sick of it.

I didn’t say that, I said it’s a skeleton crew, which it is. Are those people technical? Yes. But it’s not something worth bringing to your small town expecting jobs.

You can make it 500 and it still isn’t that economic “boom” that big tech promises.

You’re talking in terms of an individual. 50 people is not bringing a lot of jobs to an economy and not worth giving tax breaks to. To a town of 5000 it would be 1% of the population working there, maybe 2% with electricians as you say. Politicians think it’s like their corporate headquarters where thousands of people will be working there

That could backfire proving that they “can” block “internet” though I’d think

Datacenters do not bring jobs or tax income! I scream into a room of people who do already know that but it breaks my heart seeing the damage done there.

They bring massive land, energy, and water use, and are manned by only a skeleton crew of tech workers, even a small town wouldn’t notice a bump in population or revenue.

Leaders who approve them are either too naive and stupid by not understanding this (and thus should be voted out) or they are corrupt and accepting bribes (and should be kicked out or minimum voted out)

Oh sweetie, they don’t care one bit about a petition

But unfortunately without the IP
