I think the problem you’re running into is that Valve isn’t doing nothing with that pay.

Like valve is actively making my gaming experience better by developing cheap hardware and a good system for gaming on Linux.

All the games I’ve ever bought, regardless of if they still sell them are in my library.

My save files are cloud synced for free.

I as the end user am having a good time.

I also have a sunk cost thing going on. I’ve been trying to buy and play more GOG games but I just have so much that works already on Linux without any work that it’s hard to justify the tinker time to get it working otherwise.

They provide such a good service I think we’ve all forgotten about the children casinos for CSGO2 skins, but even that they’re fixing (kinda).

Maybe its just nice to not be mad about something. Like its just video games, I don’t really care if Valve has a monopoly on that since 1) Experience is good 2) they’re not trying to have like a monopoly on water or something important. Bad take maybe, but there’s enough going on that I just don’t know if I could make myself care that valve is like 90% of videogame sales. Or whatever it is.

Its less upsetting and more baffeling

Like I’m not mad, usually confused and intrigued by the question.

Unless you’re being a dick about it.

The 2009 BBC Hamlet with David Tenant and Patrick Stewart is, without a doubt, the best possible version of hamlet on stage, on film, in its entirety.

I worked through and annotated hamlet and then watched that version. Just me, a dark room, popcorn, and a cozy spot.

It has made me obsess over Hamlet. Such a wonderful story!

I think you missed the guy this is targeted at.

Worry not though. I get it. There isn’t a lot of nuance in the AI discussion anymore and the anti-AI people are quite rude these days about anything AI at all.

You did good work homie!

Superman is paid in trillions by the gold and rare earth lobby to never do that exact thing.

This + Local Wikipedia + My own writings would be sick

Bugging me cause it’s boomer advice

9 is fine!

If you’re worried about armor then .40 and .45 aren’t doing shit either

Yeah I think we should bring back exposure honestly.

I’ve got a right wing acquaintance who thinks I’m a genius and asked my IQ

His ghasts were flabbered when I said I don’t know and I don’t want to know.

Also its insane they ask for like $10/month for articles.

I get it, we’re in the age of subscriptions, but that’s a lot for articles when I can get my local newspaper for like $50/year

This is a moment for you, dear viewer, to sit and reflect upon.

What does this fish boner mean to you

The fascism of the ring?

Rolls and makes sense

Correct take.

Although, IMHO, buldak noodles are more “spicy for spicy’s sake” than actually good. The noodles themselves are a good texture but the flavor packets feel like a gimmick.

Most “hot” wings mean nothing to me

But I don’t drown things in hot sauce since I like flavor AND heat so I carry around a few really good bottles of Ghost pepper/reaper hot sauce since there is a really nice smoky flavor with it.

Its a nice way to elevate cheap food and be viewed as a demi god by the weak and like a small child by the south east Asians.

I know my white people ghost pepper sauce is nothing compared to what Raj’s baby sister has for breakfast.

It depends on raw or cooked.

If both options are cooked and line up so

A Totato has the texture of a coooked potato with the flavor of a cooked tomato, I’m 100% down

Pomato though… Idk. I’m imaging a pomato sauce and I think it would just be mixed mashed potatoes and spaghetti ya know? Not repulsive, but not desirable.

And if we’re talking eating it raw? Totato without question. Rough texture sure, but I’d get through it .

… Mayonnaise

What’s your technical skill?

You can host a really simple blog for free if you are comfortable with github, markdown, and Hugo

My blog

thinkstoomuch.net

Is built that way. There’s lots of premade themes.

If you’re (rightfully) adverse to github you can also use codeberg actions but I haven’t done that yet. I’m wanting to though!

I think I followed this guide initially

FreeCAD isn’t terrible if you haven’t already learned F360

I had to watch a bunch of videos on FreeCAD to sorta unlearn the work flow of F360 stuff but its not bad.
