    The thing is that Steam doesn’t have a history of shutting down a significant fraction of games they have available by themselves. Hence people don’t criticize them.

    Also you can (not saying that you should, I personally don’t trust Gabe) put some tust in a private owned company if you trust the owners.

    In case of public companies they are forced by law and major shareholders into making shortsighted decisions and prioritizing profit only.













  • If you are in a decent condition it’s likely doable from the get go.

    It’s definitely doable for almost anyone via gradual distance increase.

    For reference:

    I’m your average, feeble programmer. My only interest in biking is exchange of temporary suffering for a good chance at longer and comfier life. Also cheaping out on public communication tickets.

    I was slightly overweight when started biking (25.5 BMI). I have 6km to work. Had to do round trip and back (so 18km pretty much your distance) one day a few weeks after starting bike commutes (I forgot something and had to do a round trip right after arrival).

    At 6km at the start I was pretty spent and almost at the point of needing a shower.
    At 12km I was exhausted, in pain and absolutely needed a shower.
    At 18km, with a 15min break for a shower at home I was fucking dying (figuratively).

    So if you never biked I suggest feeling out your limits and gradual acclimation. But it’s definitely achievable.
