    Yeah I mean, it’s silly as shit.

    Both Epic and Valve are like multi-billionaires in the gaming industry. So it’s silly to me that people are rah-rah’ing for one billionaire over another billionaire. And please spare me the launcher comparisons, I know Steam is like feature rich, though it is because of it’s stupid social features and built-in Chromium browser that it had to cut off old OS support.

    I don’t care for any of that shit, game is a game.




  • I am not one of those children that clutches their pearls for family members to give what they busted their ass for away for free. My father just paid off the mortgage of his home. It is his.

    And he paid it for over 25 years as people like us lived in and left it. It is just unearned entitlement for any of us to come to him, demanding or expecting something he earned through hard work.

    And it is something generations after his wont understand. You try being 66 years old and enduring the grind for so long to finally have something like a home to yourself. And not have a thought of reluctance of just giving it away.

    It is ironic considering how much of a clutch todays generations have with their phones. Does anyone think they are the kind to give a home away when it is paid off? You tell me.








  • VPNs are not required. Instead of egressing on your ISPs network, you’re egressing on someone else’s network. It’s kinda like paying for a second ISP so you can egress your ISP to go encrypted to your other ISP. What does it accomplish other than putting you in another law jurisdiction?

    I…what?

    How am I paying for another person’s ISP when I’m mooching off of their network to pirate from?

    Okay, so the two examples you’ve provided about those VPN services, have nothing to do at all about piracy. One is about cyberstalking and the other was about a child abuse investigation. Those are arguably more serious than piracy in comparison.

    At that point do you think you’ll get some form of compensation from the VPN provider?

    The fuck are you on?


  • My argument is that, the purpose of the Autumn and Winter Sales is we’re expected to see staggeringly great deals. That is why so many people have looked forward towards every year with Steam. When you see a game that’s been consistently 20% all year, it’s been released 6 years ago for example and it’s active on the Winter Sale with the same exact price as it had been? It defeats the purpose of being involved in the sale in the first place.

    It’s a matter of to each their own as to what game they think is currently having a great deal and that’s factored in whether or not that they have it. I’m seeing deals of games where I admit, are at extremely better price points than when I originally got them for. But I also can say that there are games that are on sale right now, where I remembered getting them at better deals way back when.

    I’ve already pointed out that it’s also likely that I’ve been acquiring a majority of the games that I want and that if I partake into this sale, I’d only be spending for the sake of spending which may likely not be worth my expenses.
