The ACCC in australia sued Valve for their crappy refunds policy and forced them to implement an australian-style refund system. Everyone in the rest of the world enjoys it when a business treats them like australians (which is to say, like they have actual consumer rights), and assumed Valve was just nice. Epic, EA, Ubisoft and the rest treat them like americans, which they hate. So that's why people love Valve. Because Australia sued the pants off them.

Miracle Of Sound - Superhuman

I've seen the beauty burn
And I'm still fucking fuming
And as the tables turn
I'm feeling superhuman

Hey look it's a comment from the parallel universe where trains, trams, buses, bicycles, and legs were never invented. What's it like living in a universe where nobody has legs?

People tend to get the wrong idea from the story of David and Goliath. That story isn't about a small guy defeating a big guy. That's a story about somebody bringing a gun to a knife fight. Slings absolutely kicked ass in the ancient world. Goliath never stood a chance. Besides, David has been fighting goddamned lions before that point. Meanwhile modern experts have determined that Goliath likely suffered from a host of mental and physical disabilities due to his gigantism. Like, the bible describes him as needing to be guided by attendants to the battlefield because he couldn't see right. David had that fight in the bag from the first moment, and anyone who paid attention knew it. Modern audiences misunderstand the story because they don't know what a powerful weapon a sling is.

Me: Just commenting on how much trouble the customers are having, boss. I should probably ask if they want a hint.

No, not equally. One more molecule of CO2 increases the risk. If you're going to use that logic, then I might as well drunk drive everywhere because there's already cars on the road and therefore potential for an accident. It's poison logic.

Walking drunk is safer than taking a cab unless the cab is electric. When you walk drunk, you risk your own life and maybe one other person. When you take a fossil cab, you risk everyone's lives forever.

You left your SI in the link

Yes, after cars are banned. Bicycles, especially bicycles carrying children, are allowed on sidewalks until then.

Boycotting is doing nothing. If 99 people do nothing and 1 person buys the game, studio still makes revenue.

You know what you can do to stop bad games practices? Share resources on how to do piracy. Shoplift copies of the game and dump them in the trash. Write to your politicians and ask for customer protections reform. DDoS their servers. Use the internet to bully and troll people who admit to playing the game. Cancel people who stream the game.

Some nails, a vice, a hammer, and a soldering iron

I don't know anyone who drives two blocks to pick up their kids because I stopped hanging out with losers.
