Goalposts in transit.

I think the point is the number of times someone is having such an issue, and those people show up to proclaim they’ve never had such problems as if it’s helpful. So, at least you can recognize it’s not.

so now I’m thinking what is the point

congrats, you’re getting there

Players hated it, so… true?

Just install an airlock. Probably still cheaper.

Or near the washroom. The two control brushes they had in a different room also had fecal matter on them.

They established this in one of the most disturbing MythBusters episodes years ago.

edit: actually, I’ve realized in that episode that the toilet didn’t have a lid, so while the experiment wasn’t the same, you can probably draw the same conclusion when control toothbrushes outside the bathroom were also affected

That’s why the modern version should be smacking each other with giant dildos.

That’s great news!

No one dismissed his drug company’s culpability in anything here. The company paid $40M of his penalties since it was, after all, his company.

 

tl;dr: key shops... use https://gg.deals as a finder

For those who didn't know, whenever Humble Bundle or other services have a package available, you can usually find the individual titles for even cheaper than you normally would at keyshops if you don't want/need the whole package.

For example, this month's Humble Choice is $11.99, but I only wanted to add Aragami 2, The Red Lantern, and Twin Mirror to my collection.

Using the above gg.deals website, it pointed me to:

  • Aragami 2 - driffle - $2.41
  • The Red Lantern - kinguin - $0.78
  • Twin Mirror - kinguin - $1.27

Total: $4.46

Those prices were the final I paid after discount codes and service fees, but may change at any time for better or worse at different shops.

Hope this is helpful to someone, this concludes this PSA.

edit: regarding possible scams from gray markets

I have purchased literally hundreds of steam keys from such shops over the years and have had a grand total of only 3 keys be removed from my account within days or weeks, and was granted refunds from the shops when I provided proof from Steam that the keys were rejected as duplicates. Every game I’ve installed other than those 3 have worked without issues. It’s an educated risk that I failed to mention because it’s been over 99% successful for me. Make your own call.

edit2: Also worth mentioning that there are many games in my Steam account that were added after the games were delisted, such as the original GTA Trilogy, solely because I could still find keys on keyshops. If you want a delisted game, it’s worth considering.

 

Republican Rep. Jim Jordan keeps trying to insert himself into local law enforcement investigations. His targets keep telling him to go away.

And there’s not much he can do about it.

 

Ah, yes, people at Walmart, the trusted demographic known for often being completely oblivious to their own brand of obstruction.

 

Reposting this as an article since my first one with just the court documents violated rule 1.

Meta has received more than 1.1 million reports of users under the age of 13 on its Instagram platform since early 2019 yet it “disabled only a fraction” of those accounts, according to a newly unsealed legal complaint against the company brought by the attorneys general of 33 states.

Instead, the social media giant “routinely continued to collect” children’s personal information, like their locations and email addresses, without parental permission, in violation of a federal children’s privacy law, according to the court filing. Meta could face hundreds of millions of dollars, or more, in civil penalties should the states prove the allegations.

 

Technically this is probably the wrong community for this post, but spirituality it belongs here.

 

For whatever reason the main website links for this version aren’t working, so if anyone is looking for this edition, I found it here:
