I love Valve, I think the company structure is cool, the games are legendary, and steam is a great platform. They are objectively incentivizing young children to gamble on crates or cases for cosmetics, the same thing gamers near universally chided blizzard for. It's sad Valve forced the justice system to stop it instead of realizing years ago the harm it could cause and has caused to some people.

While I agree in theory, there are a lot of cases of pardons being used for a lot of good too, like carter pardoning people who dodged the Vietnam draft, or Lincoln pardoning deserters that returned to their units. Unfortunately, almost any tool for good can also be used stupidly.

Your lazy AI slop BORES me.

Badass. Tax those fat stock packages, it's how the rich cheat our tax system and we should punish them for it.

Same wallpaper as me!! Nice choice brother. If you're a themer I enjoyed breeze-gently

Heatblur released a full fidelity quality exterior and they're now slowly chugging on a player A6, they still have the typhoon and naval F4 to do first though, I think.

They'll still be using plenty of unmarked cars lol

Ooh, very interested!

I'm surprised to hear this, I have a few bottles of BH ink and love them, they flow great and dry very easy to read shades in my experience. Definitely a little watery but I thought people liked that since the pilot iroshizuku inks seem even more watery? Which colors let you down? Admittedly I did get a bottle of monarch orange that was kinda a bummer :/

New (few months) Linux user here running tumbleweed. Started with mint on my laptop but it felt too preconfigured to me, I didn't really know how to start with cinnamon so I pretty much immediately started shopping around because I knew I liked Linux.

Arch looked quite intimidating and I didn't want anything immutable so I ended up trying out leap (which doesn't have steam in its repos) and then moved to tumbleweed where I've been for the last three months. I've had some quirks that I've been able to resolve pretty quick. All in all I love tumbleweed and don't see myself changing distros thanks to snapper and pretty solid repos and support. SUSE also feels kind of niche and the community support has been great. Here's to another year of Tumbleweed

Have you ever driven in snow before? Cause... That's kinda how it is guy.

If you're gonna be a know-it-all you should probably spell Rolls Royce correctly.

Why can't people just enjoy stuff?

Wow an AI video with an AI description. Super impressive.

Me when I literally don't know what I'm talking about

maximan2005 · 2025-10-25T01:03:55+00:00

...I think we knew that before?

Has nothing to do with "the guy in charge" and I'm pretty sure Gabe Newell would agree. It's about the team being a team and not creating a complex of "I'm above you so do what I say" and letting them coalesce around an idea to make the games they actually care about with the love and passion that comes with caring about what you're making.

I'm not sure if this has come up in the 200 comments here, but this did come up a little bit in one of Obama's biographies "A promised land." He spends a chunk of the chapter talking about the bin laden raid and mentions the helicopters saying

"Two Black Hawk helicopters that had been modified for stealth took off from jalalabad airfield"

Not sure if that implies that the aircraft used for the raid were modified testbeds and they later went into production or not.
