Hadnt heard of this one so i did a search but anker games (dot) my is the first one that came up and looked sketchy, so i checked fmhy and they link to ankergames (dot) net, so i assume thats the reliable one just fyi.

Just always make paritions a unique size and use their size to identify them. I’m sorta joking because this is not a good solution, but also not because this is what i always do.

Archive.org has been operating for 30 years. You think your shitty little sarcasm is equivalent to an institution thats been around nearly as long as the internet, and yet has entirely resisted and avoided any of the enshittification thats infected literally everything else thats come after it? The internet archive is one of the last fundamentally good and public serving institutions and somehow you’re licking the boots of record companies trying to capitalize on expired copyright claims. Reexamine your priorities and fuck off while youre at it, since your ‘better idea’ is clearly to just do nothing at all.

Sounds like a cool idea, why don’t you set it up?

What is? How does a checkmark help distinguish between two people that have the same name? The checkmark just shows that the person is who they say they are.

People use usernames like they always have, and rely on reputation to distinguish themselves from the fakes? Senator ted ceuz makes an account called ‘senatortedcruz’ or if thats taken ‘therealsenatortedcruz’, and the mechanic makes one called ‘tedcruzcars’ or whatever. I dont see how your example is even relevant, because under a checkmark verification system both the mechanic ted cruz, and the senator ted cruz would be valid and deserving of a check mark, so there has to be some other way of distinguishing them anyway.

If they (the rich) dont grind your meat, they can’t have any pudding. How can they have any pudding if they don’t grind your meat?

Ive seen urinals that were basically the nautilus design like 25 years ago in canada. Not sure where they all they went though because i dont recall seeing any recently, but its definitely not a brand new concept.

When is the last time you heard of someone getting intentionally poisoned by a delivery driver? Id be surprised if its happened. Let alone happened in a targeted attack because the person is ‘famous’. Also most streamers are orders of magnitude away from being as famous as their fans seem to think they are. Normal people dont care about your favorite streamer.

They probably were upset, but not upset enough to do anything about it because they still wanted to play it. I personally would have refunded it right away, and lots of people probably also did that.

Which was a deception in the first place, because it clearly distinguishes between ‘1 player’ where it doesn’t say anything about needing a network connection, and 2-8 player where it says network and playstation plus required. It also says network features can be removed at any time, but nowhere does it say 1 player is a network feature. It specifically does not say that.

I didnt say it wasnt possible. The OP mentioned that he didn’t believe it ever since he was a kid. Thats fine for a kid, but to then grow up and realize how many measurements and observations and calculations went into the theory, and to think you know better than the many many extremely intelligent people who have spent literal lifetimes studying the possibility, without having any alternative is just stupid and childish.

Lmao okay. Whats your super deep alternative to the big bang? That the universe just existed forever and has no beginning? That god snapped his fingers and said let there be light? I dont understand how we got to the point where a person could honestly feel that their failure to properly comprehend something is reason enough to try to convince people that its false, especially with no evidence or contrary explanation. Seems like you still have the mentality of a child.

The steam deck has way more potential, but CAN be just as simplr as only ever launching and downloading games through gaming mode. The parent downloads 5stean deck verified games and then all the kid has to do is use the joystick to switch between them. But then it also has the potential to be a learning experience or teaching tool as the kid grows. But the steamos gaming mode is dead simple to navigate and a child could definitely use it.

Idiots who have never used a steam deck and are obviously scared by the word linux in this thread. You can easily use the steamdeck without ever leaving gaming mode and with absolutely no troubleshooting needed. Its as simple as browsing steam, pressing download, and pressing play. I would absolutely give it to a child with a few games preloaded, and they would be perfectly fine to use it. The UI is way more friendly than the switch one also. Everytime ive tried to play a game on switch with friends theres been some update that takes ages, the Ui is slow and clunky, and connecting joycons is an absolute pain. What troubleshooting do you think is necessary to run a game from steam lmao?

Steam deck is definitely just as easy to use as the switch for playing and downloading basic games from the storefront. A 5 year old could absolutely use it easily with some games preloaded.

When i had my original xbox the player two was a 3rd party controller, player one was a better 3rd party controller, player 3 if we had it was a first party controller-s and player 4 was the OG fatass xbox controller. My first choice was the mad catz controller that cost me 25 bucks and still works great to this day.

The genie is out of the bottle now. I love SteamOS with its ease of use and steaminput integration, but theres already a ton of open source projects building on what they started that would totally still be able to out perform microsoft even if valve stopped updating steamos today. But every indication seems to be that thats the opposite of their plan, as they’re extending steamOS support to other handhelds and devices officially now.

Get a good mouse with some extra buttons and it makes the whole experience a lot nicer. And remember you can usually change any keybindings you dont like. My mouse has two extea thumb buttons and theres some games where ill use one for sprint or dash, although left shift feels pretty natural after you get used to it for a while. The biggest difference with mouse is turning like you said, its not like a conteoller where you can just hold it to the side and then release to ‘reset’. Regardless of your preferred sensitivity tou have to get used to ‘resetting’ the mouse yourself by pucking it up and recentering it. But once you get used to that it feels way more responsive and accurate than controller aiming imo. I got a steamdeck a couple years ago and its largely replaced my pc for gaming but theres still times where i wish i had a mouse, even with the touchpads.

Prey (2017) was so fucking good and cool and innovative that I can’t even be mad that it completely overshadows Prey (2006) which was also a really cool and innovative game from my memory of the time, although i haven’t replayed it recently to see if it holds up.
