How about if valve has an agreement with developers where if they release a game in early access, and then abandon it, it switches to free-to-play?

Developers don't have to pay for the servers, and the source code isn't released. Gamers get to still play it, if it had any redeeming qualities, or for nostalgia. And valve gets...uhh... community goodwill? Honestly the lack of benefits for valve is probably why this will never happen.

100% agree. It's crazy that we have 30 year fixed rate loans with basically no penalty to refinance. Don't get me wrong, it's working for me, but I wish it was different because it's so unfair.

But they won't even disclose that ACORN stands for Asynchronous Connector for Optical Relay Network!? Sounds like they were bought out by Big Oak...

Heck yes, I binged this game over a weekend where I didn't see many other people and it put me in a weird headspace that was perfect for this game. I really enjoyed it, very unlike anything else I've played. If you're just playing it to beat it, you might not enjoy it, is my guess. But if you're in the mood to dig in a bit more it's a lot of fun to learn about the characters through the different websites and messages.

I've recommended this game to friends and coworkers and I don't think any of them have gone for it. Ah well. This game will always hold a special little place in my heart.

EDIT: If you weren't alive back in the days of AOL and angelfire/geocities/Myspace websites, you might not enjoy this game as much. I think you might still enjoy it, but the nostalgia feeling for that bygone age was a big part of the appeal for me.

There's a reason they're called a "crush"

It's good for a snack!

Fuck, I'd probably even still pay for it.

My problem with that story is that's the one time Jesus chose violence, vs the bajillion times he said to love your neighbor and turn the other cheek. But I've seen tons of posts by right wingers like "we should kill people we disagree with! Jesus was all about violence, did you hear about the time with the whip!?!?" using it as justification for their hate and totally ignoring all of Jesus's messages.

I mean we already know it's fake, they did it for the funny idea of the image. Why do many photoshop when few photoshop do trick?

You're alluding to leg atrophy from wheel chair use, but could you go ahead and explain how you believe not wearing a bra would be less detrimental to your tits?

(I don't disagree where you say it's bad for your posture, and I'm not even sure I disagree with you saying it's bad for your tits, which is why I'm asking for a clearer explanation. Maybe I just don't understand what you mean by "detrimental")

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Sorry, you forgot to disparage a group of people this time, so we actually can't play a card. But don't let that stop you from believing that everyone who disagrees with you is a brainwashed sheep or whatever you tell yourself. CERTAINLY don't start to wonder what if everyone disagreeing with you might actually just be because your opinions are dumb, that's a dark road to go down! 😂
