As a houstonian, fuck Whitmire, that spineless twat. Basically the fetterman of mayors, ran under the democrat flag, won only because Sheila Jackson Lee managed to somehow run an even worse campaign then him then once elected promptly took the mask off.

You know how bad you have to be to be kicked out of your local party chapter when your in power?

    I missed the community name and initially thought this was about bmc remedy and was about to be appalled.

    Good on Remedy though, the original control is one of the best games ive played in the last decade, it got me thinking how to use that storyline to make a ttrpg campaign

    Fuck this horrendous waste of energy with basically nil upside, who tf thought this was a good idea?

    Am i alone and liking variety? Although I guess I am in the minority, albeit a vocal one, that all of starbucks offerings are basically shit milkshakes.

    I dont because I know im in the minority in my workplace so if I dont mention voting then one of those pricks might forget to vote and it would be a net positive in this world.

    Otherwise if I mention it I have to listen to them talk about "those idiots in the DSA" who want to jail parents who dont transition their kids or whatever the fuck it is they've been told to believe nowadays.

    Exactly, this very much gives off "We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!" vibe.

    Not saying I have a clue what they could do to disrupt steams monopoly, but id gather one of the suits that Epic pays 7 figures to probably should get on that.

    I do think steam needs competition because a monopolistic marketplace always ends bad, but also fuck epic and their whinging. It just feels like they expected to enter into the digital gaming marketplace landscape and valve would just roll over and give up.

    Make. A. Better. Product. you dolts, its that easy. If you want to disrupt valves monopoly in the marketplace, you have to make something disrupting. A storefront that has 10% of the features steam has then trying to snipe developers into exclusive deals by trying to offer them lower rates isnt going to do the trick.

    To show how secure the elections are, we should throw the book at them right? From their own point of view, if they are actually trying to prevent illegal voting I feel like showing the full force of the consequences of illegally voting is only fair to try and dissuade people from illegally voting
