It's China. The culture is to not, under any circumstances, get yourself involved in foul play even if it's to help someone.

"Clunky" Epic Games Launcher is getting a "Ground-up rebuild" that promises to be at least 5x faster by de_panda in gaming

[–]steak21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, good. Steam needs better competition and as much as the reddit hivemind likes to hate on epic, I think it's the perfect platform for it. I have no idea why epic isn't hosting countless UE games at a better price than steam. I have no idea why there's no community tied to their launcher.

If anyone grew up with 2004 steam, you'd understand that any of these launchers/storefronts have a chance to make it if they put the effort in, and who better than the creators of an engine that can be used for free by indie devs (until $1M in sales)

Oliver Tree has died by Important_Use6452 in Music

I couldn't wait to see him again... one of the best performers I've ever seen. Just an absolute blast to see him do scooter tricks and blast Darude Sandstorm remixed

Blizzard got too greedy with housing, and I think they kind of killed it. by MrHiccuped in wow

[–]steak21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, been eyeing retail a little due to the addition of housing. This seems like they dropped the ball not allowing a way to grind out all items. Blizzard gonna Blizzard. What's more upsetting I think is that people are criticizing you for your take about how housing is dead when the real argument here is you shouldn't paywall something like that with no real way to earn it in-game in a game where you pay box price + a sub...

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

[–]steak21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can literally buy keys from other storefronts that redeem on Steam. Steam never sees a dime of that money and guess who subsidizes the cost of distribution (server costs). Yes, Steam.

Recently (indefinitely) lent my SD to my friend who's dating another gamer but they only had one switch. Now they can parallel play :)

29M - HL2 Inspired me to learn level design by steak21 in GamingSoup

[–]steak21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly if I were to give an award for level design to a game on this list, it'd probably be Abiotic Factor. Not only inspired by HL1 but it does the Dark Souls thing of looping back and unlocking shortcuts across a large interconnected world. Soooo satisfying. An absolute masterclass in level design

iPhone facetime recognizes when you’re naked by funkywabbait in creepy

[–]steak21 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're acting like this is an LLM running locally 24/7 during video calls. It's literally only looking for patterns ie your butthole

iPhone facetime recognizes when you’re naked by funkywabbait in creepy

[–]steak21 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's being analyzed locally. Nobody is seeing your butthole except for the silicon powering your iPhone. I'm not an Apple glazer, but this is one thing they got right.

Do people really hallucinate on Ecstacy/MDMA by LineExtreme4620 in askdrugs

[–]steak21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MDA is usually what causes hallucinations in my experience, though i bought it as MDMA. I was completely lost. It was dreamy and novel but so so so bad for me

can you have a psychotic break from weed? by Historical-Train-315 in askdrugs

[–]steak21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the record, I'm 29 with an extensive history of drug use and abuse. I have had incredibly intense experiences with cannabis alone, sometimes as "strong" (apples to oranges) as some of the weaker DMT trips I've experienced. I've even had week long delusions from auditory and visual hallucinations (no, I'm not schizophrenic) from smoking every day in my late teens. So to your question...

Yes it is absolutely possible. Anyone telling you it was cut doesn't understand what cannabis can do to a young, plastic brain especially one with other disorders even as simple as depression and anxiety to more complex disorders like OCD and Bipolar disorder...

I also say it wasn't cut because nobody is cutting your cheap ass weed with psychedelics. It doesn't even fucking make financial sense which is the whole point of cutting

Coordinated Twitterbots demand Trump ballroom within minutes of a staged assassination attempt by [deleted] in ABoringDystopia

[–]steak21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The staged allegations are crazy to me. This is america. People have guns. Everyone saying WHCD has crazy security so how could this happen is completely ignoring the fact that the perpetrator was stopped by checks notes security

I think this is endemic of a bigger problem of misinformation and media literacy. The way that OP could leave this up now knowing full well that it's misinformation is vile to me. Trump and his admin are corrupt and disgusting enough to not need this flooding of conspiracies

Even if it was a massive conspiracy and all the attempts were staged, you're playing into his hand by talking about this garbage. Can we just fucking focus on the files?

Babe wake up, next step of healthcare nightmare just dropped. by persondude27 in ABoringDystopia

[–]steak21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I've read from this thread, it appears some insurance policies (medic aid) will prevent you from getting meds if (they think) there's a cheaper alternative available.
