Not all plaster is the same stuff, some is conductive and that stuff would trigger this.

They discontinued em. At one point they sold their remaining stock for a dollar each I think

Man, but the steam deck really is a solid purchase.

I have a sweet gaming rig but I haven't openedva game on it since I got my deck.

This is grifting advertisers.

If a company is advertising on Twitter they are paying these people. One step removed, it isn't even a stretch. Advertisers on Twitter need to be bombarded with complaints. It's the only way anything changes.

Native English speakers rarely realize how similar B and V sounds are virtually everywhere else in the world.

F2P. Eeewwwwww.

We will never get the greatness that was Warcraft 3 again. That game single handedly killed the genre for single player because no one could compete ever again. It was amazing. Still is. Warcraft 4 has an insane bar to overcome.

This is the unfortunate and altogether wrong (morally, it's not incorrect) truth of the corporate structure. If you can't point to an ROI they don't want to spend money on it. The tech world has gone to great collective lengths to push the value of prevention and best practices even if they take a bit of time and money, and I really wish they'd take up that same passion for this kind of shit.

I also really wish the public would treat these companies as the conspirators they are too, but I know they won't. They never have.

The gross truth is there's a not-inconsequential number of pedophiles in the tech world compared to other industries. It's the kind of world where you're not likely to stumble into it online unless you're well versed in the technology we all collectively call "the internet". Speaking personally I've encountered it myself multiple times, technologically literate people who think they can evade or even worse, relate to others in that industry. Might be an unpopular opinion but I'm in that industry too, I'm not talking about just your industry, reader.

It's kinda built for that market entirely, remember Microsoft's biggest market is licensing. A hundred cheap computers is still 10k in licensing costs. One big bad gaming rig is only a single license.

And it's free too. Why people try to reinvent the wiki is beyond me.

I really do hope that dev jam project to create a streaming "gaming installation" of Windows takes off and gets picked up by Microsoft. There is very clearly a market for it.

That being said I also think the number of games not supported is really really low and that makes it kind of a non issue. Still, with Microsoft and their ever increasing interest in the gaming division, I don't feel too unsafe having high hopes. It just feels like something they could pull off easily enough, why wouldn't they? One more vector for a license sale.
