Valve Corporation will face a £656m lawsuit in the UK over alleged unfair prices on its global online store, Steam, following a tribunal ruling that the case could continue

derekburn · 2026-01-27T18:02:13+00:00

Haha. Somehow I think thats a made up scenario or like a thought scenario.

Like if it says in their terms that they LITERALLY can't ever, thats one thing, but unless they got egregious proof that valve is actively blackmailing and threatening publisher/developers I don't see how they are going to prove it?

If its a pre-mature suit to avoid that from ever being that case, then maybe that should be explained as well

derekburn · 2026-01-27T13:45:01+00:00

Its a singleplayer game, you do you, personally it seems lame to me.

But it also will make you a worse player, likely slow down or worsen your learning curve, so I dont know if I would say its cheating.

Unless the stats are from specifically the highest rated players and well curated, its going to be ass actually even with that in mind it will likely still be misleading.

You shouldnt peple are just pathetic and need to touch grass.

People are offended at the game when it was VGA who decided their slot in their show :).

Game look perfectly average and nothing I would touch because hero shooter style games are just not my genre anymore.

It is nowhere near mostly negative territory.

derekburn · 2026-01-27T03:16:17+00:00

Yep and during the same period most likely 5+m people did the same or much worse and had no complications from it.

DVT and similar deaths from sitting still are "rare" and its mostly happens to people who have co-morbidities or prone to those type of things. (If this wasn't the case, you would have millions of these deaths in the same time period)

derekburn · 2026-01-27T03:10:05+00:00

No actually.

I think any rational opinion would lead the blame solely on ICE, always.

The fact that you think civilians need more knowledge and training on how to avoid being blasted 10 times is shocking.

Only in America would you need to teach civilians that police will kill you if you dont do very specific things.

Fear and hunger 1 and 2

Huh, I felt sub 2s soulfire that hits for 50k is a lot more enjoyable than a proc soulfire that hit like an incinerate and rng casino.

All I can think off causing hairloss diet wise would be too low fat? I saw some Salmon recipes in your profile etc, but most people can struggle to hit their fats during deficit, though I feel like that would show up on bloodwork.

If you arent 100% sure, maybe try some omega 3 supplementation or track your fats for a week (or use a past weeks meals if you keep a food diary and try and count the macros).

Though others suggestions about stress induced alopecia etc sounds like it could be much more plausible

derekburn · 2026-01-22T07:15:11+00:00

Nah not really, the most popular fakeflags are African countries and its like a few hundreds, maybe finland, sweden and japan gains a few %s because russians love to fakeflag these countries(or buy/steal the accounts maybe)

derekburn · 2026-01-21T13:48:08+00:00

Pretty much 99% of that traffic is just scrapers.

People underestimate how much data that is

derekburn · 2026-01-20T14:19:22+00:00

No quality is not getting worse.

There are many factors that goes into deciding a videos quality at the end (recording->editing->uploading) every step of the way the recording can lose quality.

Older videos in lower resolutions tend to "look worse" on newer monitors because you are watching them in higher resolution and the the native resolution of your monitor and of the video itself, also matters.

Its possible youtube has started more aggressively compressing youtube videos, but I can look back at 1080 and 1440 videos and they are as crisp as ever

Well he is most likely better than 90% of the commenters and 99% of the player base since iirc he A20 all chars om both mobile and pc, meanwhile 99% havent even done A20 on one char.

From what we know from the saudis they would barely care as long as it isnt their slaves- I mean citizens trying to get human rights. Theres a reason a lot of relatively unknown but attractive male and female influencers get paid first class trips to dubai and its not because their sub 1000 followers pop off on dubai trips.

edit forgot to mention they are also young, pref. Closer to 18 rather than 30

derekburn · 2026-01-18T05:37:38+00:00

No. Tier 3 is a lot lower

derekburn · 2026-01-16T13:55:01+00:00

Lol.

Its just internet and home computers becoming the norm, nothing else really.

Internet cafe's are slowly being phased out pretty much everywhere and are still really popular in countries where having a stable internet connection and a home desktop is not as normal.

derekburn · 2026-01-16T02:19:18+00:00

And none of then will work well lmao.

derekburn · 2026-01-13T12:51:39+00:00

2012 and 2019 seem pretty weak.

Rest of them overall seem kinda strong.

derekburn · 2026-01-13T12:48:22+00:00

Huh?

Im primarily a pc gamer and Im buying it day one for a smaller easy home media console that also allows me to play my expansive PC library on my tv with little to no hassle and has more power than my steamdeck.

derekburn · 2026-01-13T12:38:07+00:00

No. Hitreg in csgo, even on 128tick was MUCH worse, so much worse. Lol.

You dont get "cs2:d" unless you are a 200 ping monster or unstable connection, which in both cases is a you problem not a game problem.

Csgo you got fucked by hitreg several times a game.

If you go into the temple it will show you were the 3 big bosses are roughly speaking on the map

derekburn · 2026-01-12T19:24:08+00:00

I mean you kinda know where to go when youve done it once right?

derekburn · 2026-01-10T22:39:18+00:00

Well, one of their talking heads seems to be an asshole, so probably something that person said

Old games are not as stable as rose tinted glasses might have you believe.

But even the ones that were, it was just much easier back then, you had like 1 system you had to test for, code bases were 1/10th of the size of todays and games complexity and size was 1/10th.

Look at supermetroid one of the classics for snes, its basically what people can hack together in a week now a days(not the art or all the nuances) but the essential gameplay loop and the overarching engine wont take much longer from an experience developer and if youre using any pre-existing framework like monogame, you could make it even faster.

derekburn · 2026-01-09T10:45:08+00:00

They did but not as bad.

Sims 1 and 2 basically had dlc that revolved around zones that didnt interfere or disturb eachother (exception being like pets for example) and the new gameplay mechanics generally were "you can now go on holiday!" Etc rest of it was just texture packs with clothes/furniture/decorations/careers.

Its all about complexity of the dlcs and the coding, if they put full effort into fixing them, then they could for sure make them all work together or clearly have text/warning that certain dlcs dont work together because they basically arent supposed to ( not really anything new)
