  See? This. This is why I don’t trust my safety to electronic systems. The fancy computer controlled locks and latches are great when they work. When they don’t, shit like this happens.

  At least most cars still have a physical connection between the door handle and the locking mechanism. Not Tesla, for no good goddamned reason.

  Personally, steam reviews don’t make me want, or not want to play games. That being said, if I saw these reviews on a game that I had any interest in acquiring, I would consider it a selling point.

  Normally I judge stuff for myself. I’ll watch reviews, and gameplay footage, etc before making any kind of purchasing decision. Steam reviews are usually checked, but they don’t weigh into the decision strongly enough for me to care.

  With all that being said, intentionally bombing a games score en masse with either bot/alt/spam accounts just because you personally don’t like them, is seriously uncool.

  As a long term PC gamer, two things.

  Almost every game out there, made in recent years has had some login component with a publisher type service. Ubisoft, rockstar, Microsoft, etc. So this behaviour isn’t entirely unprecedented.

  On the other hand:

  Pretty much every single one of those PC versions that have publisher logins, will let you play without logging in. You will sometimes be feature limited, or you will be unable to obtain certain rewards or something… Some only allow you to unlock DLC after you’ve signed in… Stuff like that. The game can still be played, at some diminished capacity, but it can be played.

  Making it a hard requirement, crosses a line for many. If it’s optional, sure, those who can’t or won’t get an account are still able to play, most will likely get an account to ensure they have the full experience.

  I might be wrong, but I can’t recall any game that would refuse to launch the game without an account. You’ll get bugged about it a bit, but it still runs. The only exception I can give to this is any MMO which requires a subscription to the game in order to play; the most notable example of this is WoW. In those cases, you need an account to subscribe to the game in order to play. Almost always, the subscription fee is the cost of the game, so you don’t buy the game, and then pay a subscription to play online… Unless it’s a Nintendo game, I suppose.

  What a terrible day to have eyes.

  Well yes. It is. Liquid cooling does have merits. I won’t say it’s better than air cooling in a general sense; at the end of the day, the heat ends up in the air.

  With liquid cooling, you can transport it further, use larger radiators… The list goes on.

  My key point is that as long as the components get cooled, who cares which you use? Do what you want.

  Oh, so that’s what I taste whenever I watch those videos now…

  It’s shit.

  … Never ate shit before, so I had no idea that is what it tastes like.

  I’m excited for the day when a generation is born whom is domed to fail at continuing the survival of the human race.

  The last generation of humans, all because the majority kept either foisting it’s problems onto future generations that will never come, or thought exactly like this.

  Nothing was done, and humanity ended. Not with a bang, but more like a sigh.

  Gg everyone. We both won and lost. We defeated ourselves.
