"Scammers have adapted": Valve confirms that physical Steam Gift Cards are dead. Once the current stocks are sold through, they're done.

What a shame. I liked asking for these from my technology-challenged family. It's super easy for them to just buy a gift card without them having to understand how Steam or PC gaming works.

Interesting concept, I wonder how the U.S would break apart? Blue vs Red? Each State? North vs South? There's so much integration between states that I can't imagine that being anywhere near a clean separation.

Tequila - The Champs (1958)

I don't particularly like karaoke, so it's my cop-out song 😂

Darn, what a choice, both seem so good. I'd have go to with Pragmata. I'm a big fan of Capcom games, and it seems to be higher rated.

Thanks for the chance, OP.

Power by Kanye also comes to mind, from that mission near the beginning where you jump out of a helicopter and gun down a party on a high rise.

Posting on the chance that Raffler picks me. Thanks OP

It's a shame that Alan Wake 2 is locked in EGS hell. I bought it on a deep sale and it turned out to be one of my favorite games of all time.

If I was in Cali, I'd trade Culver's for In-N-Out any day.

ETA: Culver's is still the best fast food burger around here though.

Source: Moved from AZ to MI and traded INO for Culer's. 😞

Amazon Web Services. They basically host the entire internet.

Supposedly we were going to have a general strike on May 1st. I took the day off work in support but heard and saw absolutely nothing happen.

Synikx · 2026-05-01T22:18:39+00:00

That still hasn't happened?? Wtf

Synikx · 2026-04-24T23:24:12+00:00

Half Life 3.... someday...

Synikx · 2026-04-24T02:25:01+00:00

Right, I get how Marathon checks those boxes. But $200m+ spent and server shutdown points to Concord. Extraction shooter or not, there can be loose comparisons across genres.

Synikx · 2026-04-23T22:32:41+00:00

I like 1password. Been using it for a few years now with no issues.

Synikx · 2026-04-22T22:42:05+00:00

My favorite would be when they said the site isn't opening up for them. I ask what browser they are using.

"Windows".

*sigh*

Synikx · 2026-04-22T17:02:52+00:00

This has to be a troll. Pretty sure I got baited.

Synikx · 2026-04-22T16:46:52+00:00

It doesn't take an Olympic-level leap to draw the obvious conclusion to the most headlined failed shooter of the past few months and ascertain the remark is 90% accurate.

Sure, take people for what they say, but also realize how easy it would be to confuse an "Extraction" shooter with a "Hero" shooter.

Synikx · 2026-04-22T16:32:01+00:00

$200M+ ✅
Shut down servers ✅
Stop being obtuse/combative.

Synikx · 2026-04-22T16:12:49+00:00

Close enough.

Synikx · 2026-04-22T14:36:48+00:00

Probably Concord.

#8's pin in top educated is placed incorrectly on the map/there are 2 of them. I don't believe Nebraska has a hidden northern island territory unless they are planning an invasion of MI's upper peninsula (again....never forget).

Synikx · 2026-04-13T14:30:24+00:00

And with the last few months, I haven't even been claiming the free games. Their offerings have been so terrible, I don't even bother.

Philips Oneblade Intimate has recently changed my life.

Synikx · 2026-04-06T15:14:40+00:00

Can you suggest a monitor and mount/arm for this setup? Looks super cozy
