no more place holders. either they provide a candidate that runs progressive ideals or they can run the election without my vote

i’m not voting for him if he was the last candidate on earth

i don’t believe it and am no longer giving them the chance to allow me to see it.

market dominance is not a monopoly. market dominance is a label given to the most successful product. and the product is successful because they offer a service that none else seems to be able to or wish to fulfill.

devs can choose to sell their game on steam, or windows live, or gog, epic game store, playstation, nintendo online, android app store, ios app store, on their own site, eb games, or the back of their car, what ever.

are all of these equally effective? nope. when you put your game on steam you get, the vast user base cultivated by valve, server space to host your game, massive server upload speeds, a built in store front, the discussion boards, steam game cloud, the stream overlays and stream input, steam workshop, community hubs, steam achievements, global money processing, themed sales, two special discovery windows. blah blah blah.

again, it’s up to the dev to decide if they want to pay 30% for these things.

to put it in perspective, when epic game store has a sale, steam makes a profit.

and steam needs data centers and servers and power and all the stuff to keep those running. ultimately though it didn’t matter. if steam thinks that their ecosystem is worth charging that much, then it’s up to the dev to decide if what steam provides is worth it to them

all eyes on breen

i doubt that would fix the problem they are in therepy for

that was not the implication, the implication is that if they were healthy enough to seek social fulfillment by “dating” multiple therapists, then they would have been healthy enough that they would have found social fulfillment by dating.

not that sex is some magic panacea.

i am pointing out an oxymoron

if op had the bandwidth to treat going to therapy like dating, they probably would not be a virgin, and would possibly not need therapy

Chronotrigger…

like even WHY!?

if “I” were the one confused, then AI would actually be USEFUL.

…what physical games and hardware?

i am glad i discovered the user tagging feature, it helps me realize that all the pro palestine genocide posts belong to very few actual users and genocide apologia overall is from a vanishingly small minority

it’s been a minute since i played, but i remember pistol whipping enemies

it was already owned by billionaires when people were still paying

the machine does not judge, the operator may, but that is not really a factor to many but is an abstract invasion. you can’t whisper your problems to the person sitting next to you without multiple companies trying to sell you a solution.

to someone in need an ai is an attractive option, this has no bearing on if that machine is qualified to do so. and while i get the urgency to move people over to any better option, shame is the quickest way to push someone to the end of the rope.

do not blame those who struggle. any port in a storm

wow, can already tell you know nothing about this and were probably better off not having said anything at all

nothing like getting a google ad sense ad burrying the support links to page two.

probly a survivorship bias thing going on.

i am sure shaming people who feel the need to open up about their feelings of suicide to an unjudging machine is a great idea. Totaly not a bad idea.

let’s not dig him up just yet, he earned his spot in the ground
