I did, and I agree with the comment you responded to.

Pretty much all my worst injuries are related to football, sprains, hip issues, knee issues, and a concussion that took me out of a game in college.

Or why let our children take any risk?

Why let our children take all risks?

Why bother defending them about this specific issue though?

Either Epic is right, and this pushes Valve to improve Steam performance.

Or Epic is wrong, and then who cares? People will continue to not use the Epic store and continue to use Steam.

It just feels more "defensive" then "defending" if that framing makes sense.

This feels like a strange argument given site we are on. "Why are applications so slow and bloated these days" has been a pretty constant complaint around here for many, many years.

That's not even getting to some of the "missing" features.

No Community marketplace for in-game items

No Direct player-to-player item trading

No Digital trading cards, levelling, and points shop

I hope more application developers "forget" to add these features.

I was surprised how many people expressed disappointment or annoyance at the lack of these menus when it came to streaming.

While I specifically remember the lack of these menus (and how slow they were) being something I was thrilled to have when streaming was introduced.

As much as you might like to defend the wealthy because the only thing you care about is money, regardless of the human cost, doesn't mean that we can't use the law and the government to limit the harm being done to humans.

I know what you are going to say. "Fuck people! I only worship money!" but I think you need to look beyond just the financial aspects of this situation.

You've made it clear why you think people absolutely shouldn't vote for Democrats, but haven't really stated what people should do instead, just left the implication.

But in my opinion if we try and make life comfortable and easy for everybody, it will break the rest of society to try and achieve it.

I think many would argue that a society unwilling to feed or educate children is pretty "broken".

Is willing to make sure kids are fed bad, but making sure that kids aren't physically or sexually abused fine? Or is that also off the table because we don't want to make life too easy for everyone?

What happens when the books don't sell?

Doesn't that make them even worse?

"Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" isn't applicable at all in this context though?

This type of "you can't downvote me for valid reasons" style of intro to a comment is going to lead to many people downvoting you immediately.

Not many people are going to believe your appeal to "real discussion" when leading with that.

Titles are standard clickbait.

How many people care about support for Red Alert 2 and OG Xbox controllers on Windows 11 (assuming either of these truly don't work) versus people who care about the ability to play games like Fortnite?

Issues with anti-cheat aren't Linux's fault (the one to blame), but they are a fault (undesired attribute) of Linux.

This is largely true for games running directly through Steam, it can get pretty annoying for games that exist outside Steam.

Especially when you have to do things like apply an ".msi" style patch to a game .

It's doable, but the number of steps and tools you may have to pull in (such as protontricks) does get to be a bit of a pain at times.

Take the response on another post about Claude Code.

This reads like even if you had a rough idea today about what usage might look like, a change deployed tomorrow could have a major impact on usage. And you wouldn't know it until after you were already using it.

Do you feel there is enough visibility and stability around the "Prompt -> API token usage" connection to make a reliable estimate as to what using the API may end up costing?

Personally, it feels like paying for Netflix based on "data usage" without having anyway for me to know ahead of time how much data any given episode or movie will end up using, because Netflix is constantly changing the quality/compression/etc on the fly.

The "joke" in this case is people's reactions to school shootings. And people's reactions haven't changed, so I don't see why the article should change.

It's just so exhausting.

This has some real "The worst thing about school shootings is knowing that The Onion is going to repost that article I personally am tired of seeing" energy to it.

Taking money from social programs and piling into the military which contains "a lot of fraud, waste, abuse and grift across the board", certainly is a choice. Sort of the opposite of a smart choice, but definitely a choice for sure.

In my experience, this doesn't work. The primary reason being that most of their friends are playing Roblox and if they are consuming any content on the internet, much of it at their age is related to Roblox.

Our kids have never been allowed to play, and it still comes up somewhat regularly despite all the various games and consoles they have available.
