I think the problem you’re running into is that Valve isn’t doing nothing with that pay.

Like valve is actively making my gaming experience better by developing cheap hardware and a good system for gaming on Linux.

All the games I’ve ever bought, regardless of if they still sell them are in my library.

My save files are cloud synced for free.

I as the end user am having a good time.

I also have a sunk cost thing going on. I’ve been trying to buy and play more GOG games but I just have so much that works already on Linux without any work that it’s hard to justify the tinker time to get it working otherwise.

They provide such a good service I think we’ve all forgotten about the children casinos for CSGO2 skins, but even that they’re fixing (kinda).

Maybe its just nice to not be mad about something. Like its just video games, I don’t really care if Valve has a monopoly on that since 1) Experience is good 2) they’re not trying to have like a monopoly on water or something important. Bad take maybe, but there’s enough going on that I just don’t know if I could make myself care that valve is like 90% of videogame sales. Or whatever it is.

I’m personally allergic to doing anything to my distro other than installing games and VSCodium.

Its why I barely understand the X11 v Wayland discussion. I have no idea how to customize my Linux set up, if a troubleshooting step says “May bork computer if done wrong” I just reinstall the Distro or try another one. It takes like 5-10 minutes to install Linux on most modern computers

To me this is a feature of Linux. “It works on my distro” means I’m using that distro now!

I used to be a dual monitor guy on my gaming rig, but there were a few times I had issues with display (usually playing older games like Underlord)

So I just became a single monitor guy, but its a big monitor

This only works on others computers.

If the wizard themselves experience a minor irritating tech issue, then it stays permanently and forces the wizard to use a convoluted work around instead of asking another wizard for help (this would fix it)

Chinese and Russian agents keep intercepting them because they wanna see him do it

Didn’t he daily a M series macbook when they came out?

I don’t remember people being obnoxious about that

He did think she smelled bad. That was hilarious

Nope.

Are you getting info from OKstupid blog posts and Tiktokers?

Interesting, but effective way to tell us you’re being brain washed to hate.

I love that they were contemporaries and yet only ghandi is in color

Queer leftist person with a trans partner and I have a Mexican name in a red state.

I really, really, REALLY don’t want to need it.

I dread the day I might need it.

I’ll probably just die. But I wanna believe it’ll be on my feet if it comes to that.

As a pro gun pro hunting guy

Do you actually need to depend on venison for food or do you choose to?

Personally, I think hunting is a good way to stay mindful of the food chain and what it takes to eat meat. If one is going to eat meat I view this as the most ethical way to do it.

But its not necessary.

Unless you’re doing the whole process yourself (which you might be) then its not cheaper than purchasing meat. And also its not better for you health wise unless you have some sorta allergy to beef. I guess its more lean, but truthfully I’d rather have smaller portions of fatty meat for flavor and health benefit reasons than more frequent lean meat.

I’d personally prefer to keep my ability to obtain protein myself if needed and the easiest way to do that is with a gun, but I have been looking I to bow hunting because that feels more ethical environmentally and in a lot of ways safer than explosion tubes that I hold next to my face.

So I guess I have two questions. Do you need to hunt? Do you need a gun specifically to hunt?

Its something I’ve become quite judgemental of

“Loyalty” “ungrateful” “respect” “drama” and “hustle” are words I associate now with assholes who have nothing going on in their lives and are certainly the problem.

Its been so nice not being exposed to that pointless negativity thanks to deleting my Facebook.

Marketplace is just a continuation of our failed consumerist system by letting us recycle trash that should never have been produced but we justify because its “thrifty”

I test printer settings by printing ding dings. I will do this.

I was also thrown off by that.

I thought “damn died after only 1.5 rounds of sex. That’s rough buddy!”

Where’s my god particles without windows at?

My life for Super Users!

That’s why bezos keeps doing it.

“I’m testing the billionaire space tour bus with teachers, children, disabled folks with a story so YOU don’t wish my rockets explode and then someone can write an inspirational article about Katy Perry going to space on girl power or something”

But space is cold duh.

Haven’t you seen any space movie? Once someone is spaced they get icy. That’s basic Spaceology
