GOG: When we said we let you ‘own’ your games, we meant that no matter what happens you’ll still be able to play them thanks to our offline installers.
  • Steam makes millions of dollars for Valve. They can afford to put a lot of work into making it impossible for anyone to ever catch up to them. If you will never use anything else until it has feature parity with steam as well as having other upsides compared to it, you are never going to benefit from the other upsides.

  • Risky Buisness
  • It'd be nice to line up his quotes on the subject in chronological order, since it seems like the last one would be about how his infidelities were his biggest failings in life. People say a lot of stuff to rationalize their behaviour while they are still doing it. But with time and space, can put together that the problem wasn't that other people "chose" to feel hurt about it. They will always be hurt if it came by surprise and you didn't have consent first. Hell, even in proper polygamous relationships with as much consideration and communication as possible, it can be a challenge to not hurt anyone.

  • Might not even have to change the acronym
  • Hehe yeah, it of course didn't feel great at the time. But at the time it was a bit of a surprise that I didn't sound like a normal human on the phone. I never did feel comfortable on the phone and would avoid it when possible. But I didn't know it sucked for the other person too, lol. I have since gotten better, but still don't like it on my end. But yeah, for other neuro divergents, we can talk for hours.

  • Given my previous experiences with social interactions, it is 100% an e-mail I expect to get and send at some point.

    One time, when I called the bank to do something with my account, about 5 minutes in my mom's phone rings, she told me they called her to verify that I was interacting with them. We lived in a small town at the time. The bank couldn't tell for sure if I was really me or someone that just knew a lot about me but was just reading the answers off a list or something.

    But I suppose I'd rather them err on the side of caution ultimately.

  • Amazon
  • You are thinking of laser light shows. Laser projectors function the same as any other projector but have laser light as the light source. Laser light shows deflect a single point of laser light with fast moving mirrors.

  • In honor of the start spooky season (yay!), I have a question about an apparently beloved spooky meme/skit. What about "David S. Pumpkins" is so funny?
  • The thing about it is to remember that it's generally one of 5 skits they have had to write and rehearse as much as possible in the course of 6 days at most.

    SNL is more about having a good reason to workshop their skills than it is about how good the show is. But in the context of what they are actually accomplishing, it's generally a pretty good live show. But of course, it will never be as funny on average as a pre-written and pre-recorded show that can be edited and fixed up.

    Sort of the same thing as going to any live theater shows. They are not as good as recorded and edited stuff, but you have to appreciate the effort given the context. And adjust your expectations of the quality of the results. They might occasionally still make something that happens to compete favourably with other media, but it shouldn't be expected.

  • Project 2025 mastermind boasted of killing neighbor's dog with a shovel: report
  • I'm gonna guess you are using the statistics that include animals specifically chosen and treated as offensive animals on purpose. And not statistics based purely on pet ownership, since those stats also don't lie, but tell my side of the story.

    Statistics may not lie, but you do have to know what they are actually saying.

  • Project 2025 mastermind boasted of killing neighbor's dog with a shovel: report
  • To be fair, for a wild animal, relocation is an option.

    But for a pet alligator, no I wouldn't kill it. I would call it in to the people equipped to handle it properly, just like if I had a problem with a neighbours dog. It can suck to get authorities involved, but it's certainly better than just killing it myself like a crazy person.

    I don't get how killing it yourself even comes up as an option unless you relish the idea of killing something but are usually stymied by circumstance into it "no longer" seeming like a good idea.

  • I think Sims is a dead franchise now
  • Just a heads up, Alterlife likely never got off the ground. They mocked up a demo video with store assets 3 years ago, but were never heard from again. I still have it on my wishlist, but my hopes are not up, lol.
