I could make a great PC for that...
  • And even better: people not valve will actually go and work to make the games that aren't compatible working. For free.

  • It's not the shot, it's the stock.

    First off the spread on a shotgun is not like a video game where your entire view is covered in lead. It's still relatively grouped.

    Second, the trench gun had a stock. The stock is important. It allows you to properly and quickly aim at what you're trying to shoot. The WW1 'Trench Gunn had a stock.

    If your goal is to take down home invaders, you want a stock on your shotgun.

    If you just want to put lead in your walls and furniture, go with a folding stock one.

    That being said, a gun is the least useful device you can acquire to help you during a home invasion. A firearm in your home is statistically more likely to cause accidental harm to you or your family than it is going to help you fight off hole invaders.

    You'd be better off investing in proper home security measures.

  • Folding stock shotgun is actually terrible, you could practice for years and still be less accurate than a cop with a proper stock on their firearm.

  • My favorite take in this thread was a guy saying that two months after release all the artists etc are paid off therefore piracy is ok lmao

  • Oh, I feel pretty good about myself all of the time. I find life rather enjoyable, as I do not need to write down 45 paragraphs in order to justify some sort of shitty behavior like you need to.

  • Furthermore, you growing fruit takes resources and time.

    Meanwhile, artistic creation just happens.

    Lmao you're such a leech. Only a leech believes art takes no effort and no time. This single line in your entire argument demonstrates that you do not value creativity, and therefore you think you aren't required to pay your share.

    In other words, you're a leech.

  • Oh my god you are denser than a box of rocks.

    The fruits are basically infinite as long as the tree stands. In fact, I throw many of the fruits away every year because I can't sell them fast enough. The fruits are accessory to the argument.

    In one instance you say that someone makes enough money therefore there's no need to reward them further for their work, in the other you say wait no that's different because bullshit reasons.

    Just say you're ok with stifling creative people because you don't believe the deserve to live off of their hard work.

  • I lived in a commie block until I had enough money to move out.

    Easily the worst years of my life.

    I'd rather shoot myself than go back in one of these depression factories.

  • The fruits themselves are an accessory to my argument, the fact you chose to criticize this minute detail, and not the actual argument (you deciding that someone has made enough money and therefore it's ok to enjoy the fruits of their labor for free) is quite telling.

  • I have an orchard full of mirabelle plum trees. I keep some of the production for personal consumption and to hand out to friends and family, and sell the rest.

    On average, I make back all the money invested in tools and other farming products halfway through the gathering season.

    According to you, it's ok if someone comes and steal my fruit after that then?

    Imagine calling someone else a leech when you are literally promoting theft because you have decided that after an arbitrary amount of time (2 months, apparently), it's all paid for.

    I buy games because it's the right thing to do. Not because I am afraid.
