This seems like the right take. It's based on expectations.

Though slightly cliche, this just feels right. That niece has learned a great lesson about how collaborating to improve things is always possible, and that open-source relies on everyone doing their bit.

Dang, that's beautiful, nice shot.

They used the "Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking", a pseudo-scientific test that measures and evaluates absolutely nothing of any objective measure or value.

Though I personally don't know who of the two evils would be the worse win in the long run, yes, agreed, very much this.

That's my point. You need those Steam keys to get the full experience. If you pirate it, you don't get it. Therefore for some games, resellers > piracy.

I'm supposed to be paid for this???

I wouldn't even mind extending the war so much if there was any attempt to have some good faith peace negotiations to at least entertain a chance at peace??? Russia has always been up for peace talks, Ukraine/the West has not. In fact I am still often shouted down if I so much as say that all sides should be discussing the possibility of peace.

I agree Russia bad and should not be doing an awful invasion, but there is also a much wider context to their invasion that involves Ukraine refusing to give its eastern regions a vote on their own future and bombing civilians for 8 years. This war was very far from inevitable, even without giving Russia any major concessions.

Sorry to hear this, and much love to you :< I notice she happily unloaded a ton of stuff instead of, say, asking questions and trying to have a conversation - that alone is deeply disappointing. Not a fun time, best of luck.

And interestingly, there's little defederating going the other way. Honestly the only real criticism I see is that libs don't like that they can't regurgitate anti-China made up nonsense without being corrected.

Had a very similar experience. I've frequently found that kind of problem is a direct result of the community simply growing 'too large'. The only way to moderate is hit everyone even slightly suspected of being out of line with a brick.

Back in ye olden days of forums and boards, even flagrant transgression of rules were typically forgiven and you were dealt with like a human because moderators had time and care for the community and people.

If indie devs really have that preference, then they need to remove the DRM/Vendor-locking stuff in their games, unfortunately. If your game relies on eg. Steam for the multiplayer or workshop mods, then people are going to prefer resellers.
