Oh yeah, because the first one did so well.

This reads like it was written by somebody with a swastika icon on Steam.

Valve buys up dev teams that are about to shake the industry up. Valve haven’t actually been the ones to make something new in a long time. TFC, CS, Portal, DoD, L4D, Alien Swarm, Dota 2… were all made by outside dev teams that Valve absorbed and put their name on. The only things Valve have actually made, themselves, in the last 5 years are Alyx and CS2, neither of which brought anything new to the industry (although they are wonderfully-executed games) and are both sequels of existing franchises.

Personally, I’m not a fan of this practice, because I feel like Valve inadvertently stifles these studios after they bring them onboard. For instance, the team from DigiPen that Valve bought for their Portal tech? Imagine if they were still able to make games. Imagine if they were still able to stretch their creativity and create new tech and ideas. Instead, their intellectual properties are all tied up at Valve and they got to release two whole games in the last 20 years. Who knows what we could be missing out on from these guys if they were able to actually still make stuff.

Good people don’t necessarily make good games. They should be asking themselves why this team of great people spent so much time and money working on something that nobody asked for, appealed to nobody, and offered nothing new in the space it was trying to compete in if they want to know why the game failed.

Now why would an account created 1 hour ago be asking something like this?

Reddit has been dead, it’s why they’ve stopped banning bots so it looks like there’s even more activity than before.

For generative AI, yes.

Surprised it took this long, he’s been saying this same shit on Twitch for years now.

Then what is?

Amazon is always the first place I check whenever I want to buy anything. I order frequently enough that Prime more than pays for itself every year, and I hate making new accounts on new websites to order anything elsewhere unless it’s just not available on Amazon.

I don’t like that it’s this way, but it’s the most cost-effective way of shopping for me.

Good.

These hemp-based highs are every bit as potent as those derived from the marijuana available in legalization states.

How I know the author hasn’t tried either product.

I agree. I feel like today’s usage of the word “streamer” applies to a person, not an object.

Spamming links in the replies of trending tweets has been an advertising strategy for years now. You can’t open the replies to any popular tweet without immediately seeing titties and OF links. Blocking links in replies is an easy fix that they could’ve implemented ages ago if they actually cared about preventing spam.

But this isn’t about spam. This is about kneecapping fact-checkers before an upcoming election, on a platform where the owner has expressed endorsement for a candidate. Elon doesn’t want people correcting misinformation, he wants the lies to grow and fester and spread like cancer. He’s already pushed Trump-tagged tweets to users who have the term blocked; he’s not hiding it anymore.

The only socially acceptable use of a Twitter account these days is for encouraging others to get the fuck off of Twitter. Using a Twitter account for any other purpose is reprehensible, and cringe. Stop drinking at the nazi bar.

Skunks really are deceptively adorable. There’s a family of them that hang around the area between my home and the gas station I sometimes walk to at night, and I’ve caught them out there crossing the street and thought “Aww, how cu- ohfuuuuck walking back home, walking back home, runningbackhome”

I used to work with somebody who says she kept a de-glanded (not sure what the term is) skunk as a kid, and apparently they make good pets and allegedly have “fat ferret energy”. But apparently they still stink even without their gland.

That is not correct, either. The outage even took out decentralized platforms.

Those aren’t always options for renters, hence why wifi security systems are so popular.

I did the same! The Pros are 100% worth the cost difference, IMO. Though I do wish there was a way they could’ve incorporated the “wingtip” design of the A series ear tips into the Pro design, as that was a really comfortable fit. Everything else, including the reliability of the charger, is a straight upgrade.

If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike.

If it smells like shit everywhere you go, maybe you should check your own shoes.
