So you can just pop that folder on any computer and run it, without installing Steam and without a Steam account?

GoG Vault would disagree with you on that.

You can download the full installers and keep them, nobody can take them away or disable it remotely

Yes they did, not owning the game was FOMO, and they weren’t free at the time.

In-app purchases and limited time game passes are hardly heroin

Nobody is forcing people to buy anything, you CAN resist.

If you’re too weak to resist FOMO, maybe stay off the internet

World of Warcraft was a big one, it was faster on wine than native windows

I’m fucking amazing at holding context. BUT. Only when shit is on fire. Then I’m like a superhero of holding all the crap in my head all at once.

Regular day at work? Can’t remember what I was doing if I get a notification in my phone and quickly look at it

The PS4 was underpowered for it and it never should’ve been launched on it. Pro was ok-ish

I played through CP2077 at launch and found like two bugs.

This is even worse in TikTok, where the expected content length is 2-3 minutes.

If I’m forced to wear an uniform to work, the employer should provide me with one.

Pants that hang so low that all of your ass is above the waistline. Nobody can ever convince me it can be even remotely cool

For those unable or unwilling to find employment, there is Basic Assistance, the United Nations’ global welfare program. Over half of the Earth’s populace relies on it for survival. Without jobs, these people have no money, so Basic provides shared accommodations in government housing complexes, meagre food in the form of Gray-tasting textured protein and enriched rice, minimal medical care in government clinics, and even recycled paper clothing, dispensed from automated kiosks with a thumbprint. All of these services are provided free of charge, but those on Basic are subject to mandatory contraception and cannot legally have children, apart from the regular “baby lottery” allowing for a small number of births each year

From the Expanse wiki.

Earth has a population of over 30 Billion with a B when the series starts.

So who is the CEO of Brand Shield? 🤔

I think the backstory is so that there aren’t enough jobs for everyone due to automation, so they offer people who don’t want much the option of Basic (income), with the option to get more if they get a job or start a business.

So anarchists want Basic from the Expanse pretty much?

Basic in the world of the Expanse provided people with a very basic apartment with a bed, table and a TV along with three nutritionally complete (not delicious) meals per day for free.

If you wanted anything more, you had to work or enlist.

Who is allowed to rent to the people who don’t want to buy?

Should the city own property just for that and run it as a non-profit?

Hating gays isn’t cool anymore and will get backlash even from conservatives.

Trans people are the new gays in this sense
