Similar to me. My passport got wet when I was in the rain. The lady at the Canadian passport office literally yelled at me for damaging it. I was surprised, but they seem to take it very seriously.

You're absolutely right, but you also need to accept that most people think ai means transformers (as in, LLMs and generative/image synthesis)

It sucks, but that's how language works unfortunately. How most people use a word ends up defining it.

Valve understands that sometimes less is more

Friendly reminder that China isn't a country, it's a region. PRC is a country. And follow-up reminder that India is absolutely not properly allied with the USA, and China and India's wars had nothing to do with the USA.

Free Tibet!

It's personal and private and children shouldn't be exposed to it. It's not wrong, and you can do it, but keep it away from me and mine.

Lots of indie games yes, but not so many of the AAAs

Zero sympathy for anybody who owns investment properties. Zero sympathy for landlords.

Highly skilled locals, too. Anecdotal, but all of the smartest people I graduated university with have left. It's a lot easier to land 400k salaries outside of Canada.

Like the previous poster, I'm not defending steam. No good billionaires, fight for the proletariat, down with the elite, etc

Not all steam games use steam DRM. It's opt in by the developer. Lots of steam games you can literally just copy out of steam onto a USB key and run it. No DRM at all.

Don't get me wrong they are skeezy in other ways (charging I indie deva 30% and big publishers less) but if you're going to criticize them, then at least criticize them for something real.

Also consider a lot of online comments are bots designed to make people angry. Even on this site, though I don't think it's as bad here as some other places.
