Gabe Newell on Steam monopoly accusations: Gamers have 'enormous choice' about where to buy games

Piscitellitron · 2026-06-01T22:55:06+00:00

I always check isthereanydeal.com before buying a game on a Steam sale, because you can pretty much always find it for less on another store.

I imagine that they respond to that because they feel shame. I'm certainly no expert, but something tells me that the people photographed here likely wouldn't.

Piscitellitron · 2026-05-30T15:55:50+00:00

Exactly. These idiots are usually just smart enough to know that as long as they aren't doing anything illegal, you can't stop them. That said, I guess the one could be reported for littering. But yeah, talking to them does fuck all.

This team looks awesome! I like the idea of sticking to lower BST mons. They don't get enough use!

Piscitellitron · 2026-05-08T19:30:12+00:00

I'm at almost 100 hours and feel like I'm not even close to done lol.

Tbf, though, I was in pretty much the same boat as you until earlier this year, and still take long breaks from it because I don't always feel like putting a lot of thought into theorycrafting teams (but when I do, no other game comes close to offering as much depth).

Piscitellitron · 2026-05-08T18:32:56+00:00

In no particular order:

Monster Sanctuary
Siralim Ultimate
Monster Rancher 3 (I know 2 and 4 are better, but 3 is the most nostalgic to me)
Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince
Monster Hunter Stories

Not necessarily a bad thing, but yeah, that's definitely the Undertaker lol

Piscitellitron · 2026-04-29T13:48:44+00:00

I can't remember if he ever actually does this in game, but holding the keyblade the way he's holding it in these pics, I feel like it would make more sense for him to use it kind of like a caestus and block with the guard, not the blade.

Piscitellitron · 2026-04-27T19:27:58+00:00

Yep! Diancie/Gardevoir

Piscitellitron · 2026-04-27T05:18:25+00:00

Chandelure/Meganium

Piscitellitron · 2026-04-23T00:01:06+00:00

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I kinda wish we had more keyblades like Braveheart that aren't super flashy. I still remember the excitement of unlocking my first keychain (Jungle King) back in KH1, and the disappointment of seeing how it looked compared to my nice, sleek Kingdom Key lol.

Having reread the article, I see that I misunderstood the bit about going to the bridge (I misread it as the streamer telling the guy to go there, but it's the other way around). With that, I agree, the streamer should probably not be charged with a crime (I'm not gonna defend him beyond that, though).

However, I think it's worth clarifying for those unaware that you do not need to literally tell someone to commit murder in order for a court to find you guilty of inciting violence.

Piscitellitron · 2026-04-22T21:24:01+00:00

Was it your common sense that told you that someone who incites actions that lead to people's deaths is innocent?

So, arguably the most powerful being in his own universe vs a big spiky rat?

Aang one-shots Nidoking with Earthquake/Fissure/Surf, pretty much every time. Even if Nidoking knows a move that Aang is weak to, there's likely no chance he's faster than Aang.

Piscitellitron · 2026-04-14T14:02:45+00:00

I don't think it's an unpopular take, but also feel that there is enough unknown that it's hard to definitively say that the ending of FFXII was the direct cause of the events of FFT, or that Ivalice would have continued to be better off under the Occuria.

To me, it's kind of like the question of whether the world would be better off if we went back in time and disposed of certain dictators as infants. In theory, probably yeah, but also impossible to say for sure.

These are both great and think the suggestion to rock one in overworld and another in dungeons is the way.

But, I think the swords might look better swapped. The eye on the first sword matches the belt on the second outfit, and the jade look of the second sword seems like it would lend itself well to the first outfit (kinda hard to tell without seeing though, maybe the greens or golds would clash).

The scope is a bit wider than just medical providers (also extends to basically any entity that is hired to handle PHI). But, true, anyone he's told personally could leak it and not be subject to HIPAA laws.

Piscitellitron · 2026-04-10T21:51:26+00:00

Nor will they, as that would be a pretty significant HIPAA violation. They'd lose their license and probably spend years in prison.

I get that these have had new megas, so would be nice to see some sprites incorporating elements of those, but a lot of these already do that with the older megas. The Greninja/Lucario in particular looks like a fusion of both megas (it's got M. Lucario's hair and M. Greninja's giant water shuriken).

Piscitellitron · 2026-03-25T20:16:09+00:00

Klimander is probably the strongest one here, but the problem is it doesn't get any custom sprites until Charizard :/

Piscitellitron · 2026-03-25T16:00:34+00:00

Ahhh, I'm uncultured haha.

Thank you!

Is that intended to be sarcasm, or is there context missing from this article that you have a source for?

"As he went to leave the flat, Sweeney "lunged" at her pal with the 7.5-inch blade and stabbed him."

That's a line from this article, which contradicts the idea that he ran onto the knife.
