The 30% cut Steam takes is quite a bit. Considering the near-monopoly it has on game distribution, that could easily mean the difference between turning a profit and not for an indie developer.
Personally their efforts towards things I support (PC handhelds, Linux gaming) and the convenience of the platform outweigh the things I dislike, but being frustrated by its problems is understandable when people don't really have another choice.
Same here! It seems like a great game otherwise, but I just couldn't get immersed in it because of the controls. Didn't feel like I was playing as Arthur so much as watching him and hoping he'd do what I want.
Great idea! I like that this also solves the problem of porn instances often defederating from each other and often being defederated from non-porn instances; with your site one account can access all the porn.
Ironic
Fuck yeah I would. As long as it's cheap and relatively safe I'd take instant transportation over spending hours sitting in a metal box any day.
It really doesn't work as a replacement for google/docs/forums. It's another tool in your belt, though, once you get a good feel for its limitations and use cases; I think of it more like upgraded rubber duck debugging. Bad for getting specific information and fixes, but great for getting new perspectives and/or directions to research further.
I don't know about pasta, but cooked rice can go bad within a few hours, definitely wouldn't eat it after a few days. Unless you mean dried rice but I don't know how you'd cook it without boiling water.
That's beautiful, thanks for sharing. People like you and the judge, who will go against the grain to do the right thing, are what let me hope that we as a species might someday be able to get our shit together.
Yeah the last time I watched a movie in a theater was Top Gun Maverick which had a Tom Cruise intro. There was a teenager sitting near that was trying to make jokes throughout the entire movie; they were as unfunny as they were loud. The theater's great sound system doesn't really matter when you can't hear it over obnoxious audience members.
I wonder what the future of theaters looks like. I hope they realize that home is just a better way to watch movies, and start pivoting into the 'experience' aspect; start serving quality food, or add a live host, or regularly have themed events. Imagine if there was one next to a convention center - if there was e.g. an anime convention they could show a bunch of anime films to tie into it.
Those aren't the best examples, but something along those lines is the only way I see myself watching a movie at a theater again. If they give me a reason to go I'll go, but right now, there just isn't one.
Error 404: Costume Not Found is a classic.
