Dear lord no.

For extra fun, there’s also dist-upgrade

Agreed, just updated my comment for clarification here. But I’ll add that I still own any game I’ve bought on Steam that was pulled from the store. They tend to be on the better side here.

That said, DRM free for the win.

Agreed.

My use of the PlayStation platform had dropped significantly and moved to PC, and now Steam Deck as well.

And now I’ll just cease entirely.

They really love shooting themselves in the foot here.

And I suppose they will start trying to sue Steam when they fall.

EDIT: To be clear, the Deck can run GOG games with Lutris, and with PC I use a mix of launchers, not just Steam. My intent was to point out that many publishers seem to like going after Steam after they shoot themselves in the foot and lose users.

I have one built, just waiting for winter.

Vintage Story has cheese aging in cellar mechanics.

We were definitely expecting this, anyone who didn’t had their head in an unfortunate location.

So they actually spell it “donut” and not “doughnut”?

Ok kids, 30 is barely entering midlife. People start over at 40-50 all the time.

Someone please explain what benefits there are to being a state at all? I don’t even want to travel there because of how fucked up their rights and laws are…

Can I just say; get fucked.

Yeah, same. And this article is playing like thats on us.

Ice Storm '98, Rural Ontario (North Gower) - 3 weeks without power, and since we were on a well and electric heat, no running water or heat.

Ontario invested in putting a lot of wires underground after that, I can tell you that modern life is far to dependent on the grid, and when that grid is above ground due to poor infrastructure development, it can take weeks to restore all of the downed lines. In our case, they even mobilised national guard to get things cleared up.

Canada and the US are both large, and the infrastructure funds are split up over large regions based on population. Cities have modern infrastructure that is more resilient, but much of the rural regions still rely on basic wooden poles and above ground wire that is easily compromised. When the governance for a larger region that encompasses both the larger cities and the rural regions wants to do large investment into the rural regions to even the energy and water security for folks, there is often a two edged sword pointed directly down their throat; one side sharpened by the city populations percentage of citizens who do not see or comprehend the world beyond their immediate sphere, and the other by the rich who have already invested in fixing the issue for themselves with power redundancy (because they can) and of course, their businesses (who the media would of course always talk about as though their businesses were “separate entities” from the affluent).

It took the Ice Storm of '98 for the funds to be invested into the solution in terms of putting more wires underground in Ontario, what will it take for the scales to tip for those in these affected states? What will it take for us to realise how broken these political systems are?

This is one of those water loving cats, right? Breed looks right.

TIL that Canada is never never land.

Which I pointed to in my original statement. “Any free and democratic nation”.

I don’t think it needs to be said that the US is neither free or democratic.

Finders rights and reasonable doubt are legal arguments.

He probably “wrote it with AI” and then the AI copied your upstream push
