True, we all know he won't take it, especially considering that his benefactors would gladly match it for him to stay in his seat.

But it was a solid end to an episode outlining how scummy he is with his bribes. The episode wouldn't get as much traction as it would be seen as barely more than another call-out.

And in the one-in-a-milliom chance that he accepts, we still win.

Made no sense to me neither till I read the article..

The company gives people a card signed by other employees whenever they resign or whatever. Only 3 people signed it so they didn't give it to her. She then sues.

Well, they get the snuff out competition and get to hold on to IPs. The thing is though: People are saying that there are good indie games, but I won't ever hear shit about said games unless I specifically go looking for them, which will almost never happen nowadays.

Even when I allow ads, game ads are pretty rare. AAA games were almost impossible to miss because there's always enough buzz, positive or negative, for the big ones.

Dishonored. I've had it for ages and only ever played the very escape mission. It actually got me to buy Dishonored 2 and start that.

Let's hope for BioShock in 2024.

So they essentially broke even? What sense does that make?

It’s the second ruling in favor of trans rights this month from the 4th Circuit, a once-conservative court that has become a trailblazer in the realm of transgender rights.

Not bad. Definitely not something I expected to read.

The decision will be appealed to the Supreme Court, which recently allowed Idaho to enforce a ban on gender-affirming care for minors.

Of course. This Supreme Court's really gonna do a number on the justice system for decades to come huh?

Most definitely. They were complaining about them not making a profit, and they really thought blaming the few people using an Adblock made sense.

It's all to get more Premium subscriptions. The ads are an intentional problem with the "obvious solution" being advertised right there on the homepage.

Does it really make sense to complain about fragmentation here when many distros are just downstream from others? I was on Pop! And have used Ubuntu but am on Debian at the moment. Nothing's really changed. I installed the same application versions, I'd read the same tutorials to get things done. What am I missing here?

Isn't almost any keyboard able to last that long?

I make sure any motherboard I buy has at least 8 USB ports, so I know I'll have enough. It does make sense to use the PS/2 port if you have the peripherals. What advantage does USB have over it anyway?

Even if you buy it(which I do support more and more), pirate it. We're at a point where it's just far easier to use the pirated versions of a lot of digital items and you also don't have to worry about someone "taking it back" afterwards.

Kinda related, but what's the point of the area painted yellow anyway? It's not like I can't see the giant pillar without it.

You really should look up how much Meta makes per quarter. They're doing the equivalent of setting aside a budget for hobbies.

Goddamn, it really did hit Forbes. Now I'm really interested in how Respawn will handle this one.

It's a little different when you're getting doxxed and your family is getting pulled into it IRL.

I've heard both, but I can't not rinse after brushing. Any taste of actual toothpaste in my mouth is unsettling to me.

This has nothing to do with Linux. Gamers in general, the cast majority being in Windows, hate EGS. It makes contracts for exclusivity, the launcher is apparently atrocious and there's an almost inherent bias against any launcher/storefront that isn't Steam. You'll find those three reasons in just about any conversation about EGS.

And, to actually address your Linux theory, all I have to do is to open Heroic, sign in if I haven't already, download the game and run it through Proton, in exactly the same way I do on Steam. Epic's hate for Linux isn't really that much of a problem.

Nobody wants to make and maintain an account for every place they want to pay something for.

They could have replaced "check" with "cash". Same idea.

No, we all say hiccup. FFS, googling "hiccough" essentially autocorrects to hiccup. If everyone spells it hiccup and also pronounces it hiccup, literally no one is using "hiccough".

It was EAC, for the most part. Once EAC worked with Linux, Apex was one of the first to enable it. That is/was the case for a good bit of games
