And every magic tech that didn’t become widespread had this phase.

What’s your point?

This is what happens as the disparity in wealth grows.

Unfortunately, the “linux-first” vendors do not offer better deals than their competition.

Competition for the sake of competition isn’t intrinsically a good thing.

Seems to me, most of the people complaining about Steam are greedy devs who want to make more money off of their products.

For me, as a user, that’s not my concern. For me, as a user, it’s more important that I can play games without having to download different launchers just to make someone else richer.

GOG is probably the only legitimate competitor with Steam. They provide value to customers instead of just themselves or greedy devs.

We did it boiz.

Pat yourselves on the back if you never used an alternative.

Maybe you should go live there yourself if you like it so much

lol

Remember: It’s okay when the US does it.

You can’t downvote the truth.

You must be new here.

Imagine not using everything at your disposal because random folks on the internet will call you ‘cowards.’

Thanks for proving my point.

So… russians are woefully incompetent and should be made fun of for that.

When Ukrainians are losing against russians… “wars take longer than expected.”

This war should really teach rational people how powerful modern propaganda is, and how ignorant its perpetrators are of its existence.

Wars invariably take longer than expected.

Gee, how come I never see this in response to “3 days”?

Oh right, propaganda.

Yeah, but people also thought Ukraine could take back Crimea and see how that’s going.

Their rhetoric was the same, too. Ukraine just needs these weapons and they’ll be able to accomplish this goal.

I’m waiting for everyone who was gungho about that to come out and admit they were wrong.

It’s been awhile, but I see no shortage of posters like you telling me Ukraine just needs more weapons and they’re be able to accomplish a different goal.

I guess Russians aren’t as incompetent as the average redditor thought they were.

Why are you replying to me?

Immutability and sandboxing are, and always have been, a meme.

I think there’s something fundamentally wrong with British culture. How do they keep electing such garbage politicians? It’s like every decision they make looks awful to everyone but Brits only realize it after the fact.

Okay.

Yes, pretty much everyone has considered the possibility.

It doesn’t seem that way. Look at how mad people get at the mere suggestion of it.

They want those weapons to be sent because they believe(d) it would enable Ukraine to do things like take back Crimea. Which it hasn’t been able to do.

Now we pivot to them needing more to do what? Slow their loss?

I don’t think Ukraine can prevent a Russian victory without foreign troops. Not just volunteers; coordinated, foreign, military aid.

Russia has too many men. Their propaganda machine is too strong. Even if Ukrainians can kill more Russians per Ukrainians lost, the numbers simply cannot be ignored unless you are succumbing to propaganda.
