You’re still not understanding: people buy stuff for convenience. Buying a console which you can play all the latest games on with a controller is convenient.
The target audience for Steam Machine (or whatever they’ll call it) is not you or some linux dude who like setting things up themselves, it’s people who just want things to work ™.
What you’re saying is “Why would I buy bread when I can make it at home? Nobody’s going to buy bread!”.
The power of the console is that it comes preinstalled with everything you need to game. Tell roidrage Steve or TikTok Sally to build their own gaming rig. It’s not happening. That’s why there are consoles.
The Steam Machine can be used for work, but that’s not its primary function, neither is that the Steam Deck’s function.
Arabic heritage and in the US? I’d be concerned about getting a free trip to El Salvador. My butt would be clenched during any border crossing- which includes flying in or out of the country.
At this point, unless you’re ready to fight for your right to exist as a person in the Trumpian USA, moving out seems like a better option.
But this is said as somebody living in Europe. Maybe the US is actually great and you’ll be fine.
France? Don’t they hate Arabs? I’m assuming OP looks a bit Arabic due to their heritage. They would find a larger Arabic community, but if they have an Arabic sounding name, finding a job and housing, especially as a foreigner, might be difficult.
Soon it’ll be a steam console sitting the corner of every room
Something about investing in bitcoin back in 2012.
Pricks, quite simply. They know it’s wrong, but they don’t care. Society is filled with people like these and you can guess who they vote for.
Next time, film them, it seems like the only way people understand. No need to upload it to social media, just share it with the police and they’ll get the fine.
The way I see it, these superficial factors need to materially impact how you treat or view a person before you go from observation to objectification
You think that rating somebody by hot or not does not change your view, nor anybody else’s? Teenage girls are not subject the influence of popularity, it’s only teenage boys? Teenage girls aren’t going to gossip about the dads, share pictures, jerk off to them, dream about being in a relationship with them, worship them, non of that? Only teenage boys would do that, right?
Many things in society aren’t symmetric between men and women.
That makes it right, doesn’t it?
So you’d be in support of a the same thing but for moms?
What follows is a list of missteps Mozilla made since its inception. LibreWolf ftw. I hope Google has to divest of Chrome and forced to stop signing search deals to make them the default search engine on a browser. Can’t happen soon enough.
A feeling of power.
This has nothing to do with homophobia and everything to do with being a friggin nerd. The bad news is that the person is a virgin nerd unable to see boobs because they can only see spiderman. You just want to interpret it as homophobia because it’s all you want to see.
It makes no sense to even attribute it to homophobia. If it were boobs that looked like balls and all you saw were balls maybe you’d have a point but this is a damn meme community, not a /c/gayhate community or whatever.
“everything I don’t agree with is a phobia”
Wasn’t Jesus a black man?
“I’m a hypocrite, thank you for getting it”.
My theory is that they could forget, not would.
How does “probably” translate to “I know” for you?
I guess we’ll see 🤷♂
