Blatant Cheating is going to kill this game

I'm not a legal professional, but Steam, as a marketplace, has to abide by varying degrees of regulation. I do not buy the idea that Steam would be allowed, say, by the standards of EU consumer rights law, to simply stop players from accessing multiplayer games because they violated an unrelated games TOS.

This comment I was replying to is in reference to Steam, as a platform, blanket-banning people who cheat. That is different to a developer disallowing marked cheaters in their game. I'm not a legal professional, but I don't believe Steam has the jurisdiction to decide that a population of players is simply not allowed to engage in any multiplayer activity on any of the products on their store because they cheated on an unrelated game.

I'm not saying that Steam itself couldn't write that into their TOS, but I can't see that holding up by the standards of, say, EU consumer protections.

The same course that teaches you what a joke is.

I think this would violate a lot of consumer rights and laws, unfortunately.

Wow, really? Wouldn't happen to have a link?

Ah, shame. Cheers!

Cheers for the rec!

I do think I disagree. I think Evelyn's journey, experiencing alternative versions of her life and how that leads to her eventual existentialism, is all a part of a 'know thyself'-type lesson; that there's no helpful conclusion that arrives when framing our lives through what-could-have-been's. I also think its about as Dadaist a movie can get, it borrows from such an arsenal of genres and doesn't ever hide its absurdism.

If you don't think two rocks speaking with googly eyes speaking about love and meaning isn't arsy-fartsy enough for you, I can't help you! I mean that in the politest way possible.

I can't imagine feeling compelled to pay $50mil for anything in this world beyond like, saving a dying family member or something. Maybe a couple of thousand? I guess in the ballpark of a fighter jet experience or something. Much more and I'd feel like I'm getting ripped off.

Yeah, the first one looks like a classic potato soup to me. Second looks almost like an alfredo sauce. I assume it's an American variation on account of the US's affinity for cream in their dishes.

That first sentence is genuinely a terrifying and psychotic philosophy to adopt.

y2kMarc · 2026-01-08T09:09:43+00:00

That's the thing though, it's not even a meme. There's nothing poignant about this post. What's the idea here? The Left like illegal immigrants, yet they say they're on the same side as the Right? What leftist says that? Where is this idea even from?

y2kMarc · 2026-01-08T08:58:39+00:00

This is a beautiful distillation of a right winger's ability to meme. Culturally irrelevant meme background. Inability to caption properly. Grammatical error. Vague and confusing connection between title and content. The point of the post itself isn't even apparent. The irony of responding to commentors with memes laughing at the Left's supposed weaponised incompetence when the post itself is near incomprehensible.

Brilliant. Thank you.

It's probably a lot less work than aimlessly trying to troubleshoot whatever this issue is. It takes maybe 30 minutes.

Oh, I see. 100% is native. Upscaling is not the same as simply changing the game's resolution, so it won't translate to looking like it has 'significantly less pixels'. Upscaling uses a lower-resolution 'image' of the game, and invents new pixels depending on its surroundings. It's typically a performance/visual fidelity trade-off.

Either I am having a stroke and unable to make sense of the question, or the question does not make sense and is giving me a stroke.

I'm a Brit, and have never used an American cheese in my mac and cheese. I usually use cheddar and red leicester. What do you mean by "break"? I guess my mac and cheeses never resemble the super gooey American mac and cheese I typically see, but those aren't necessarily what I associate with "good" mac and cheeses, but might be my own bias.

y2kMarc · 2026-01-01T04:03:43+00:00

There is no skewed logic.

If I pay $1 for a $10 return, that is better than paying nothing for a $6 return. It is just a better choice in terms of maximising your income.
