There’s Kēlen, which is famously ‘Verbless’ though people dispute if thay is actually the case, since many people see it as just rebranding verbs. But still a very cool thought experiment, and I’m curious to see what you come up with!!

    I don’t think there is much merit to this, considering Germany is pretty much as capitalist as the uk, generally. Maybe america sure, but I don’t think you can put that on the language. Also Dutch is similar to german in this regard and they literally ‘invented’ capitalism…

    Yes, the Steam Deck is great, and Steam is definitely one of the best games platforms there is. And Valve has done great work supporting Linux and open source development, and forcing more transparency for sellers on Steam.

    But I feel like people sometimes just love valve for everything they do. GabeN is still a billionaire, buying super-yachts and stuff. Valve makes a ton of their money from gambling on loot crates in CS2 and TF2, and have not done enough (imo) to stop even more predatory third party item gambling sites. And whenever I bring stuff like that up people keep defending Valve.

    We should be able to praise their great games and hardware, at the same time as criticising other parts of the company.
