Oh my zsh!

Oh yeah, this is actually an awesome point that I didn’t even think of. Thanks!

Yes. My therapist advised me only to seek official diagnoses if I wanted to try medication (for ADHD at least which I also probably have). Being officially diagnosed can lead to discriminating behaviour against you by insurance and even immigration depending on where you live.

I’m Commander Shepherd, and this is my favourite cue on the citadel.

Yeah well I’ve got two you’s for you you too.

I thought Larian themselves didn’t want to make another one? Could be wrong though but it would make sense for them to use their surge in popularity to create something that they wholly own.

Ok, I want to be included just for a little bit alright?

If anyone shoots you in the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.

Don’t fight it

Well, I don’t know what to tell you then, mate. If that’s all you’re trying to say I don’t think it’s particularly controversial. Maybe it’s the way you’re saying it.

There are flaws and benefits to every platform, that’s why they exist otherwise only one would stand the test of time. There’s a reason why PC gaming continues to march on. It has its flaws, sure, I wouldn’t necessarily say glaring though.

The argument here isn’t that PC gaming is flawless or you can run on literally any hardware or os, that’s silly. Just that it’s more flexible and open to choice. I run my Steam library on my Windows PC, Linux PC and steam deck. Games I bought a decade ago can run perfectly fine on all these configurations. That’s the argument I was making and why your claim of PC being more exclusive seemed so disconnected from the reality of my experiences at least.

Still, it’s not an argument to say you should use one platform or the other. Just that they are different and have their pros/cons, flexibility being a huge pro of the PC platform that’s important to some people and less so for others.

Ok I’m with you on the whole store exclusivity thing but come on. More exclusive? Having to buy from a certain store and being able to run anywhere on hardware of your choice is hardly more exclusive than being forced to buy from one vendor and only run on one system.

That said, I do think this whole argument is somewhat moot because the steam deck and switch serve very different but overlapping audiences. I own an original switch and a steam deck, I don’t think one can replace the other but I’ve opted not to buy the switch 2 because Nintendo’s anti consumer practices really turn me off if they want to tell me what I can do with the games and hardware I bought from them.

That’s just lack of commitment

Only if you’re feeling hot

I’m making a note here, huge success…

Reminds me a bit of the setting for the Red Alert series of games. Although there they actually go back in time and kill Hitler so different from the scenario in this post but the possible alternate timelines are fun to think about.

Typing is woke…oh crap

Remember everyone, do your best to erase your personality and everything that might make you interesting so people might be interested in you.

Reminds me of an Aussie comedian who said that when someone turns the light on suddenly you get momentarily transported to hell.
