Fascinating.

Oh, I thought he was talking about 7-11’s Cool Spot Video Game.

Actually the opposite for me. Real meat has so much grease in it I often feel bloated after a burger. Beyond meat burgers are fine for me.

I tried to watch a video earlier today and got an error. Checked Github and this fix had been released 11 minutes earlier. Freaking amazing.

I know. I had plans to go there as soon as it was convenient. I wanted to relive a childhood vacation…

Hitman.

Population engineer!

Ooh you naughty boy!

I hope all your online reviews have this energy.

I may have read it but don’t remember. My favourite of his short stories is “The Long Walk” as Richard Bachman.

You know, I’ll actually read this. I’ve been looking for my next book to read and I thought I had read all of Stephen King’s early stuff. Thanks!

Oh, a robot reading a book. Thanks, I guess.

Kinda sad to see that Donatello wasn’t alive at the same time as the other ninja turtles.

The Colonel goes f’ing nuts at the end of MGS2 and tells you to turn the game console off.

It was 3am when I got there and I was sick with Mono. I turned it off.

Oh yeah, I loved those wing tips and was sad that they were missing. Took a while to find the proper sized tips to keep the buds in place and they still slide out frequently. My biggest complaint about the pro buds.

I upgraded to the pixel buds pro and have been very happy. Had some charging issues with my A series.

The pass through audio and noise cancelling features are amazing. I can do housework or ride my bike and use pass through to not be isolated from the world. It also feels different, like the buds get lighter. And noise cancelling is great for working in coffee shops.

Oh damn, I forgot about this game. Actually played it multiplayer back in the day. I think it gave me a headache so quickly.

Ooh, it’s my Fuck Spez anniversary? Nice!

I agree with you that there’s a problem, but I think you’re targeting the wrong villian here. I shop local whenever I can but there are a few things that are just… big. Video games are worldwide and getting them off the internet is nice. There’s no such thing as a local video game distributor. There’s local indie game development which I do support, but Steam is a product I like which does its job very well.

The problem here is scale, not necessarily who individuals are buying from. Take major league sports as an example. Salaries for indivudual players are in the millions because of the amount of eyeballs attached to wallets that are interested in watching those players. Less eyeballs, less money, and the players would probably be doing the same thing but not be making as much money. Same thing with music. It’s very hard for an artist to make a good living with music, but once they hit global awareness suddenly money will come rollin in from all over the place. This isn’t a problem with the people doing the jobs (although it could be said that major league sports should charge less, they are trying to maximize their profit) but is the result of the amount of people who are willing to pay.

The probelm you’re having is that a company is allowed to suck up so much money and keep it. That’s a problem for governments to handle. Individuals can choose who to give their money to, but sometimes there aren’t any other good choices.

A couple of seconds longer. l definitely didn’t want to stick around to find out what that final note was going to sound like.

If it’s that easy then make your own competetor and charge less. It’s not like steam has exclusively deals with anyone.
