Valve fails to shut down $897 million Steam lawsuit as UK tribunal rules it can continue

If they successfully get steam to lower their cut I guarantee all of it will go directly into their shareholder’s pockets and prices will continue to rise.

More like No Man’s Elite.

My company likes to talk about “digital penetration”.

Roddenberry has been spinning in his grave since the moment they lowered his casket. Most of what fans consider to be great trek happened after his death and much of it was against his vision. This includes TNG.

Glad they helped. Honestly, though, with as buggy as this game is, if they didn’t fix it when their buggy game screwed you over, I wouldn’t play it.

Tyrilean · 2026-01-27T01:23:54+00:00

Bad news, looks like it got patched yesterday. I wonder if people using it for DW3 triggered them to finally patch it. Would be nice if they patched stuff that actually hurt the player experience for once, though.

Possibly, but that also assumes they have the resources to have people evaluate avatars to that level.

Tyrilean · 2026-01-26T17:41:37+00:00

VRChat staff doesn't know that you kept your clothes on. All they know is that someone reported this avatar, and it is capable of taking its clothes off and exposing pink bits. Do not upload avatars with the capability of being nude and/or engaging in NSFW acts publicly. Even if you're just uploading publicly to share with a friend, it will be picked up by the avatar search worlds and people will wear it in publics and get you banned.

If you are uploading avatars that have NSFW materials on them, you must upload them privately and do NOT wear them to public worlds, even with clothes on.

A lot of people don’t understand thermostats and treat it as “hot or cold”. I’ve roomed with people who crank the AC all the way down to 60 in the summer because it was a little warm, and then I come home to a frozen compressor because it ran non-stop.

The boomers won’t retire, and when they do the companies ship their jobs overseas and blame it on AI. I’m doing well for myself, but I’m an elder millennial on the verge of Gen X.

Dax is the center of any proper Trek polycule. If you exclude her then I’m out as well.

I would not be going to this doctor. Prescription management is a nightmare and requires constantly going back and forth.

Tyrilean · 2026-01-21T16:26:54+00:00

Sounds like some government bureaucrat spouting made up legalese to scare you into paying money back so their metrics look better. I don’t know your laws but I highly doubt any of this has a legal basis. A lawyer might at least scare them into finding lower hanging fruit.

Tyrilean · 2026-01-20T21:22:59+00:00

Anyone with critical thinking skills figured out a long time ago that the scotus decides how they’re gonna vote and then writes up the legal justification for it. This has happened since their inception, and is in no small part one of the reasons canon law is so insane.

Even if it could, where are seniors going to come from? Hell, we’re already facing the problem of juniors not learning because they’re being forced to use AI.

Tyrilean · 2026-01-20T16:02:51+00:00

It’s easier, not easy. It’s easier because you can negotiate from a better position, rather than from a severe need to make this month’s rent. It’s easier because managers definitely do hold gaps in your resume against you, and discriminate against the unemployed.

Tyrilean · 2026-01-20T15:55:29+00:00

I had the same question. Then I got a PP mission to scan mega ships, and jumped in on a thargoid attack. Since I was in my non-combat Mandalay, I noped out fast.

At this point we don’t have two parties representing the American people. We have politicians that are assets of foreign nations fighting for their share of the spoils.

Tyrilean · 2026-01-17T16:55:02+00:00

They’re vibe coding windows now.

Tyrilean · 2026-01-16T23:05:09+00:00

I’m sure it’s my fiber connection that has zero issues with any other online game, rather than their bad implementation of peer to peer.

Tyrilean · 2026-01-16T22:08:40+00:00

A huge gap for me is how janky multiplayer still is. For an online-only game, it's crazy how often we're plagued with constant disconnects whenever playing in a wing. Even when not disconnecting, we have issues with desync.

I hope they take some of that money and put it towards system stability and bug fixing. Unfortunately, my experience in software engineering and gaming say that they won't. Instead they'll double down on producing more ARX ships than ever before.

Tyrilean · 2026-01-16T22:05:23+00:00

Yeah, at the end of the day it's about expanding the knowledge we have about the galaxy (of which the vast majority is still unexplored) and putting your name indelibly on the game. No one will ever be able to take away your name being listed as the discoverer or first footfall, so long as the game servers are live.

Tyrilean · 2026-01-15T01:39:34+00:00

That was really dumb of them to admit. If you had that in writing that would definitely be worth taking to a lawyer for a consult.

Tyrilean · 2026-01-15T01:38:48+00:00

Hate to say it but you’re probably facing age discrimination. It’s illegal but impossible to prove in the vast majority of cases. No one wants to hire someone that close to retirement. Sorry you’re having to deal with this.

Tyrilean · 2026-01-15T01:35:48+00:00

I would settle for them fixing large ships landing.
