I agree that forced exclusivity is bad. I absolutely disagree with your statement that ubisoft store was better than steam, I don’t even understand how you can say something like that. But yes, without the games any store is worthless.

You didn’t respond to my question though, so I’ll repeat it: even if someone was able to launch a product with feature parity to steam, why would anyone migrate?

I was gonna comment about epic giving games away for free, but I think I got your point. You mean like the same releases, but subsidizing, say, 10% of the price?

Assuming that a company could hope to achieve a store front with similar features in a few years instead of the 21 that steam had, why would anyone migrate there?

I’m on the same page as you, it’s tough. I have no idea how any other platform can really achieve competitor status with steam, and this is a big problem for us consumers and for developers.

Both the Soviet Union and United States gathered data from the Unit after the fall of Japan. While twelve Unit 731 researchers arrested by Soviet forces were tried at the December 1949 Khabarovsk war crimes trials, they were sentenced lightly to the Siberian labor camp from two to 25 years, in exchange for the information they held.[10] Those captured by the US military were secretly given immunity,[11] The United States helped cover up the human experimentations and handed stipends to the perpetrators.[1] The US had co-opted the researchers’ bioweapons information and experience for use in their own warfare program (resembling Operation Paperclip), as did the Soviet Union in building their bioweapons facility in Sverdlovsk using documentation captured from the Unit in Manchuria.[12][10][13]

lol

no common sense allowed in this thread, sir. only AI hate bandwagon please.

I don’t usually like snarky dismissive comments, but.

That’s great news tbh. I’ve tried going back to the game multiple times over the years, but since you can’t reset your progess/start a new save, I get overwhelmed by everything and give up.

Click on the “blocks” tab, it’s at the bottom.

“LLM did something silly” must be the most boring type of concern bait out there.

Cloud Atlas - very bad. Cute overall plot, but script is absolute nonsense. Feels like it was written by a very motivated 15 year old.

Harakiri - fucking great. Brilliant photography, plot, script, acting.

My own custom layout that tries to find a compromise between not fucking too much with the left side keys because of hotkeys, typing en and my mother tongue, and programming.

Also use 28 keys split keyboard, so some macros for some keys.

There’s no research on this topic AFAIK, so all you’ll get is the circle jerk around neurodivergent people, like the post itself.

haha one of my favs from them.

For me it’s about the customer service. I stayed in 30 airbnbs in 2 years and when I needed Airbnb, they fully sided with the host who was lying and faked chat screenshots, didn’t bother to get any proof from my side and just penalised me.

On the other hand, with Booking, I always felt fully supported by customer service.

I’ll only use airbnb if there’s absolutely no other option. It’s a liability, even more for longer stays.
