depositing nearly $2000 in cash on the last day of the month for "rent" is weird, but I seem to remember this dude from NeoGAF.com constantly doing weird stuff like this with money

User Banned (1 Week): Stereotyping of a languageI wonder how the idea for this collaboration came about. Did one of the indie devs throw the idea out there on a whim not expecting it to go anywhere, and then Miyamoto turned out to be a fan of CotND and said "Hell yes" (only it would be in Japanese, so like, "Hellfu yesfu").
Rami is one of the smartest people in the industry. He’s more than right.I won’t feel bad when Steam is gone.
Quote from: A.ByThe exact opposite of competition is when a large entity manipulates the situation to the result of no one being able to compete with them. Valve is not small, Valve is not powerless. Companies paying for exclusivity is a very normal thing, and doing so requires that Valve create greater incentives for people to not migrate away from Steam.So you're suggesting that Valve pay publishers and developers for exclusivity? Because that's the only reason pubs and devs are signing up for timed EGS exclusivity. It's not about revenue share, curation or discoverability. If those were the reasons, these wouldn't be timed exclusives. They'd be permanent. Timed exclusives only occur when Company A gives Company B a large sum of money to hurt Company A's competitors. This is not a practice anyone should be condoning. It doesn't help consumers, it only hurts them.

Quote from: A.ByBut the alternative is that consumers only reasonably have Valve to turn to. That isn't healthy for their base, especially when the lack of competition is likely one cause of why Valve feels so complacent as to have basically zero content curation.Valve doesn't force any publisher or developer to use Steam. They never have. Publishers and developers chose to use Steam because that's what the majority of consumers want. Why? Because Steam is objectively the best distribution platform on PC. It has the most features (for both developers and customers), the best selection and the best sales.All this talk about curation is incredibly short-sighted. There was a time when Steam was highly curated. Guess what happened? Small indie devs complained that it was too hard to get on Steam. So Valve added the Greenlight system which let users vote on what games should be on Steam. Guess what happened? Smaller indie devs still complained that it was too hard to get on Steam. So Steam said "screw it" and just let all developers on Steam. This doesn't affect 99% of customers, as the trash-tier games won't appear on any of their lists. However, gaming journalists seem to have a fetish for searching for offensive/garbage games on Steam and then writing angry articles about them. Jim Sterling made a living from it. The term "outrage culture" is a controversial one but is perfectly apt to describe how the gaming media treats Steam.Epic's "curation" just means that small indie devs won't be able to sell their games on EGS. This isn't limited to trash-tier games either. It means that any game arbitrarily deemed unworthy won't make the cut. Games like Undertale or Pony Island, for example, would likely never appear on EGS simply because of their low-budget presentation.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Dismissing Concerns on Bigotry as "Outrage Culture" and Inflammatory False Equivalences Over a Series of Posts; History of Severe InfractionsQuote from: A.ByIt is not outrage culture to show just how frequently awful games get through. Valve couldn't even prevent a game called "Kill the taco" from being put on Greenlight.Also, the fact that Valve curated too much is not a defense of the fact that they now curate too little.The issue is that people are pretending that the lack of curation actually affects their Steam experience. It doesn't. You actively have to look for the crappy/offensive games and if you're doing that, you want to be offended. If you use Steam like an actual user, it will never show you said crappy/offensive games.

Sensitive ThreadsA clothing store for the woke.
Man, Finale Fireworker's post yesterday hit home this morning. Dad talked about how awful Nancie P was last night on the phone, heard Bill Spadea on 101.5 and hate listened, dealing with old friends blaming gov't workers for now having 2 paychecks worth of savings and "Democrats are Lunatics". Go on Era, see thread about 13, 14 year old girls being "aggressors" in sexual assault case, thread on tax return battle and I was exhausted before getting in the fucking door today at work. It's a mental load. Of course, the Gaming side isn't any better lol.
The Jew York Times? I wonder who's behind this article? Checks author and background 'Jewish descent'.Couldn't possibly be a completely biased and worthless piece.

It was a terrible time to be informed on the internet; I remember the approval ratings for the invasion were off the charts, in the 90% arena IIRC. The evidence was blatant, well documented by international and domestic sources (not conspiracy sites), etc... yet most of the country was bloodthirsty. I'd make threads on forums with tons of facts laid out and would get crickets; people all over talking about "glassing the middle east" and whatnot.Where I worked there were people watching bombs go off on web streams and laughing; it was like 40+ year old guys doing this. I walked up to them (as the youngest employee at the company) and said "Wow, watching potentially thousands of people die, that's pretty messed up." Everyone I worked with spent half their happy hours talking about how cool MOABs sounded, etc. And this was in Seattle.A few years later and everyone acted like they were against the war from the start; really fueld my apathy for discussing politics, as I'd spent years exhausting a lot of energy trying to convicne people.. only to have them wait for the mainstream media to start questioning things then prerens like they always were at least skeptical.. but it was all surface level crap.. nobody actually cared enough to do anything about it, and we re-elected Bush.
lol, wasn't jerking off over it.. was remarking how distrubing the time wasKnew that would get posted here but expected benjisales.
the NZ shooting was a false-flag

I thought we were all doing that.*slowly zips pants*
Why would you need to jerk off when you could just write a carepost to cum?
I wonder if this triggers Sanders and Beto getting their own minority VPs before the first debate

Putting the weird hand gestures and monotone voices to one side, reducing the population by simply not having children doesn't seem like the brightest idea to me. All you will end up with is an aging population without any young people to do the work. More importantly, you need young women to produce offspring. That's a problem unless you want the total extinction of the human race rather than simply a smaller population.
