For unrelated reasons, yes, but I’m considering the possibility that payment processors know they’ll be asked to prove they aren’t facilitating illegal transactions, and may have asked Valve to make purchase details available to them for that purpose. If Valve agreed to remove content from the store instead of blowing up user privacy, that would be a win.
But it might just be the PPs being dickheads.
Totally agree.
Having written supremely fucked up content doesn’t mean he has “known pedophilic tendencies”. People have made assumptions about authors who wrote all forms of horror or produced other media because they are repulsed by the content of the media. As an example, Rob Zombie has made films about mass murder, rape, incest, and the guy is a friendly vegan.
Without knowing his intent, I think this is an example of poor phrasing. If anything that’s supported by his later tweet:
Did Epstein traffic young girl(sic)? Yes, of course. Is there a client list? Doubtful. Conspiracy fodder.
For sure, but he doesn’t exactly have to care if people read their own meaning into it instead of what he originally intended. I think it’s telling where people’s biases are if they assume he’s a pedophile for a tweet like this. It’s way more important to go after the real ones than the people who fail one person’s personal purity test.
Or he’s mocking the administration for insisting they had a list and suddenly heel turning on it. Given who he is, one of those is a bit more likely, don’t you think?
Re: the jailbait thing, he wasn’t “a mod”, it was possible to add arbitrary users as mods and they put his name on the sub to mess with him.
Any more recent censorship you’ll have to ask the other guy, I’ve seen plenty happen in real time over there. Reddit is 100% captured media.
The internet seems to think it’s because rabbits naturally hop so he’s putting a jumping rabbit in a different, absurd context. I don’t really get it though.
I was curious when I heard he’d passed the deadline to remove his name from the ballot for the general (whether he runs or not), and it seems the Republicans are pissed he didn’t because he’s likely going to take their votes away from Adams. Probably a good thing for Mamdani.
For real? That’s incredibly dumb/expensive compared to one subtitle roll. Can you share where you saw that?
I enjoyed it, too, about 200 hours worth with my wife on it. It had multiple crashes, BattlEye was forced with it, and the whole model was set up to make people rent servers from their affiliated server company for like 20$/mo. There were plenty of servers paid for by people to choose from beyond the official ones, but again it’s the same business model.
Heard good things about Helldivers but I’ve been too busy to buy more games lately.
This game is developed by the same company that made Conan Exiles, which was a worthwhile purchase at $5 or even $20 for the Early Access but is a horrible buggy mess. They’re just there for a cash grab and it’ll be the same in this case as well.
Yeah I think their alert system sucks or something. Manual checks on that, microcenter, and best buy are probably your best bet for any new releases going forward.
Edit: I bought an Intel one, 250$ or whatever it was, been very happy with it
Not sure where you are in the world, but I got a B580 from b&h in February without issues. Just checked the site once a day when I knew I wanted to buy one.
Well, checking for testicular and breast cancer can be a mutually enjoyable process… Not sure you want that particular mental image for this case, though.
There are people who believe that colloidal silver has special medicinal properties, and take it as a form of supplement. It’s a joke about those people, including the ones with skin tone side effects.
I agree that Schumer’s political approach and public rationale is awful, but not voting for the budget would’ve given the Trump admin free reign to do worse on top of blaming the Democrats for it and convincing their supporters. A government shutdown would’ve given the executive branch more power to manipulate funding, including to things they can’t touch without legal challenges otherwise. I’d rather people be able to go after them in the courts, even if they’re doing awful stuff that takes longer to reverse.
This is why those senators broke with the party, because a no vote would’ve been performative and made the situation worse. The yes votes are mostly in states where deprogrammable independents are a meaningful part of the electorate for 2026.
You know what, you’re right. Numbers have shifted since I last checked this, there’s more funding from members than before 2020. The (now 30%) station contribution has less federal dollars in it checking the larger station revenue reports. It’s probably around 15% without spreadsheeting it, I didn’t check PBS.
Nah they get more than that, it’s like 40-70% but it filters through individual member stations. This cut will be felt. Even the shift in his first term towards more corporate donations to stay afloat hurt them, badly.
I’m imagining Mads Mikkelsen at different sizes and scales. Once he becomes as big as godzilla, there’s no hope.
