Not always. Some Steam games are entirely DRM-free and can be run without Steam.

Just get them on Steam and then if the day ever comes that Valve yanks them away from you it'll be morally acceptable to pirate everything you've already bought.

Why would I want to research every random company I'm applying to work for? There is absolutely no job on the planet that I'd actually enjoy doing so why would I pretend for the sake of an interview? I have skills that employers need and employers have salaries that I need. It's as simply as that.

I refuse to write any sort of cover letter for any job application. It's a job. I want it for the money. I'm not going to wrote some bullshit about how I've always dreamed of working for said company and it's the perfect role for me. In an ideal world I wouldn't be working at all.

I actually don't care in the slightest about play profiles, reviews, etc. Most of Steam is just useless bloat to me. The problem with Epic is how damn laggy it is.

I bought a Retroid 4 Pro and a 5 not long after they launched and found both were far too uncomfortable for me to use. Now I play lightweight retro games on my TrimUI Brick and more demanding games on my ROG Ally.

Unfortunately A LOT of less tech-savvy people absolutely love AI chatbots. All of my girlfriend's family regularly ask ChatGPT random shit multiple times a day. Many of my friends have taken to using ChatGPT for every single online enquiry. It's a worrying world.

Cancer spreads quite quickly. Linux adoption sadly does not.

People actually cared about Reddit karma?

FWIW a lot of games on Steam are also entirely DRM-free it's just not overly obvious without checking on PCGamingWiki.

Nintendo really dropping the ball at every opportunity. Life long Nintendo fan here and I'll never buy anything from them ever again.

Starmer's labour government has been an absolute shit show. Fuck the child safety act.

PS5 was too much day one at £400 and it's only gone up since. What happened to the days of sub-£200 consoles later in their lifespan?

This is why everyone should mod their 3DS and backup their entire library of physical games.

Further reinforcing my decision to hard dump Sony after the PS4.

Murica.

Starmer really needs to fuck off.

Why don't they start a new leaderboard for amount of tax paid in each country?

All this energy wasted on products most people don't even want but big CEOs think it'll earn them loads of money so fuck the planet I guess.

Let's hope the growth means the software improves. I've never owned such a buggy phone. I would never be able to recommend anyone I know actually buy one and it's pretty difficult to keep using it myself. I'm really hoping the upcoming Android 16 release fixes a lot of bugs but if past Fairphones are anything to go by I'm not expecting much.
