Ah yes, I forgot folks with ADHD are also insane. /s

For folks with ADHD, like myself, slow talking video essays are a special kind of hell.

The problem with days old threads is I never remember the context. Looks like they were asking if Steams data would be more reliable. Tbh, I think Steam is great for gaming stats, not for general use stats. Statcounter supposedly uses what the browser reports when participating websites are visited.

I’m happy to see more Linux gamers don’t get me wrong. Steam is specifically gathering specs on people who game, the other stat counter (that reports 4% Linux use) is based on what people’s browsers are reporting.

Steam is only installed on one of my computers, I have at least four running Linux. Not to mention plenty of Linux users don’t game at all, so probably not.

With the Switch controllers I found out the clicking action puts pressure on the back housing of the analog stick. Basically, the aluminum backing was bowing really bad. The best fix I found was to tape a couple layers of cardstock behind the housing so it made contact with the plastic shell. This presses the housing back into place, and also prevents it from protruding in the future.

No, Steam is a package manager.

Steam: buy, download, and updates for me. Easier and more convenient than even piracy by design.

Website: doesn’t integrate with my package manager, doesn’t offer updates, doesn’t provide me any features.

Also from their own website in a Q&A format:

But I want to play it on my heavy computer that’s strapped to my face and sprays pixels into my eyeballs. Don’t see your favorite platform listed? Don’t worry. Throw your other platforms in the trash, and get it from one of the above!

“We want to provide Linux support, so we’re exclusive though the marketplace that hates Linux support.”

Coooooool…

Just saw the article about early access premium players having the game auto-complete on first login. DRM should be the last thing on their minds.

I guess the point I’m getting at here is that, you’re preaching to the choir, but I’m still over here hoping we can solve this problem for EVERYONE. Because sure, men have issues, but women not only exist, but are humans in need of the same types of help, and in a lot of cases are facing even more adversity what with global fascism on the rise.

Edit: Also was trying to say something about being bullied for wearing safety gear at dangerous jobs (my experience), and how “gotta be a strong man, can’t cry.” was like, the worst feeling I ever had, and when I let go of it and cried and had feelings I felt a lot of relief. However, I’m still very much shamed for my “lack of masculinity” amongst most of the more conservative and more manly folks I know. Makes me feel like I’m part of some out-group that doesn’t exist and has no support because women and men don’t want anything to do with me.

It’s missing context, so yes, it’s a problem. With the entire context, there IS a wage gap. But you just cut that part out for the little anecdote that suits your needs. Nice. A+ I bet your teachers loved you.

Okay, next time a woman you know complains their male coworker makes more, go ahead and tell her to work more, I bet she’ll just love that. Especially if you word it juuuust like that. “Sell more time.”

If uplifting groups of oppressed people to an equal standard is alienating to you, then you are falling into the tolerance paradox, and you should probably stop that.

I’m not shitting on anyone for pointing out that men have problems. I’m pointing out that there are means to fixing these problems that don’t involve picking up fascist politics.

Hard to Strawman, a Slippery Slope. I was merely pointing out it’s a Slippery Slope without whipping out my Fallacies.

Everyone should have food, my point is, the majority shouldn’t get extra food just because the minority are getting enough food now.

Ah yes, being a reasonable, empathetic member of society. “BoOtStRaPs!!1!”

I’m a depressed male, I have attended therapy, I have talked with those close to me, I have been in dark times, and I’m hella lonely. Being a fascist isn’t going to fix that, if history tells us anything, that’ll make it worse.

Still missing the point. Giving everyone more doesn’t fix inequality.

Giving those with less the means to exist doesn’t make what you have lesser.

The point you’ve made here seems to be, corporations are bad, everyone is exploited now, and if anyone wants to make money you have to give up your life to do so.

Also, the part of the paper you’ve cherry picked suits your narrative but doesn’t paint the entire picture.
