I very clearly remember asking myself“what the hell is Steam and why are they suddenly the authority on game stores?” when I first discovered Steam. Now my wishlist alone has nearly 400 items on it and my library is massive.

The difference with Gabe is that he’s quiet and keeps to himself. He’s not putting on Met gala pageantry bullshit, or trying to sway elections. That doesn’t mean he magically gets a pass, but he’s not actively trying to ruin our lives and the planet like Bezos, Musk, the entire Trump admin, and Thiel are.

So cute! Hooray for pasta and food-based pet names!

I nominate Macaroni!

I guess when you have no knowledge of engines and your car doesn’t have one, you have to fixate on other stuff. Shame they don’t fixate on the fact that they’re driving mass surveillance tools.

I saw a gearhead on YouTube refer to a Tesla as an “appliance” and thought that was great.

Sledding Game! I’ve been waiting for it to come out for months and have been following along with the dev’s videos on YouTube. It’s tons of fun and super chill.

You’d have to be incredibly stupid to not be able to see how easily gamed this whole thing is. All it takes are insiders to submit “outlandish” bets on things they know are going to happen. Like… this is the stupidest pipeline for upward wealth shift there is right now. You’d have to be 100% devoid of intelligence to be a working class participant.

Something like 70% of all Polymarket bets are won by roughly 0.04% of the users. It’s the same capitalists winning every time, while working class folks lose their shirts.

Everything in the US is a massive unhinged, unregulated grift now. This is a scam economy in a scam country.

More Perfect Union video about this.

Wow, that’s brilliant. I always hated editing registry values because I was afraid I’d mess something up, and then having to manually clean up sucked.

I was taking a shot in the dark, so it’s cool that that was their approach lol.

I wish I knew how to do this back in the day. In the early to mid 2000s, I was getting free internet by uninstalling and reinstalling NetZero. It would never check to see that it had already been previously installed and the days were used up. Probably could’ve gone the route you did instead.

Containerize the game somehow so that it thinks it’s the same day every day. That way it never knows when to reach out and check. Groundhog Day hack.

I work from home, mothafucka.

Disney is going to be sorely mistaken when they realize very few people will pay to watch movies made with AI slop.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

It will be in the form of a “warning” or something.

It’s crazy to me how far we’ve gotten away from sanity. How long until Google starts fucking with summaries and inserting corporate opinions because a website contains content capitalism doesn’t align with? Like a website about anti-Zionism for example.

No problem! It’s a bit violent and has some gore. Just a friendly heads up. Jesse Plemons is amazing.

Bugonia. Skip trailers and go into it knowing nothing but the basic plot. It’s a wild ride.

I used to play through 2 and then when I completed it, I’d immediately start a new game.

They will call it “Priority Support” and it will incur an extra fee.
