Because Democrats tend to agree with reality, so if republicans want to oppose them they must insist that reality isn't true.

A market is not a resource. It's not coal in the ground that Valve came along, dug up, and provides to people for a fee. They built the whole market, it's theirs, and they built it when there were no guidelines or examples to follow either. If you want your game on there it requires a mutual benefit because if only the game makers benefit then there won't be a market anymore due to no doubt astronomical costs of servers, development, moderation, etc. If there were no charges there'd be no market and publishers would have to sell their games on the remaining markets which, at the time of Steam's creation, was nowhere and even now is multiple inferior places.

Beyond Thunderdome is a bit shit to be honest, but I wouldnt say Mel Gibson can't act or hasn't been in good films. I just don't want to have to stare at his racist fucking face.

I think you need to carefully read the quotes you just posted because they disagree with what you're saying.

Give Control a shot, it's one of my favourites games for ages due its story and whilst it's creepy, it's not really horror exactly and it is much more action oriented. I don't recall any jump scares either, though it has been a while.

The fact their audience gave Catwoman, one of the most embarrassingly bad things I have ever seen, a B means literally everything that comes from them is useless. What an astonishing fuck up, that film is every single thing wrong with bad comic book movies distilled it's an embarrassment that should've ended careers.

The multiverse game where it doesn't matter, you mean?

So it makes sense to spend $50 a year on some pictures of those things that are already photographed?

I'm not sure how many times the things you're taking a picture of has been photographed matters even slightly.

It's an installer for an app on android. Android has been around for half of my lifetime at this point. Not know that is like not knowing what an exe is on a PC.

First of all, you said time or inclination, the latter is caused by the ads, the former wasn't really an issue as I've already said. Now you don't know what APKs are? YouTube won't stop with the ads. You either find an alternative, whether it's Newpipe or just abandoning YouTube entirely, or you put up with them and stop bitching.

You can't sit in the middle throwing your own shit at one side because "people will whine and then use it anyway" and then also at the other side because "it's too hard to install a different app and don't know what APKs are!"

What the hell are you talking about? I download an apk, I install it, I'm done. How many ads will you sit through before you've wasted the whole minute it would've taken to do?

He's made comments over the years that suggest he is a white supremacist, a misogynist, and a Qanon-er. Microsoft removed mentions of him from Minecraft and didn't invite him to the 10th anniversary, making a statement that his views do not represent those of the company.

Becoming a trend? This has been a regular frustration in gaming since the PS3 generation.

 

I recently switched to Firefox on Android from Chrome for obvious reasons. It's great! Except the new tab page is a piece of shit. I've already disabled all the sponsor rubbish and stuff*, I want to choose specific links to put there and stop it from adding links to random places I happen to visit that I can't get rid of without removing it from my history. Why this behaves like this is beyond me. I should be able to SET my shortcuts, not have to rely on Firefox to hopefully pick the right ones for me and then have to put up with every other one it decides to add or wipe them from my history.

*Why are these options so poor? I don't want recent bookmarks on this page, I want the ones I've used the most, which will have been bookmarked the longest. Recently visited? "Hey do you wanna return to that one Google search from a day ago?" Why!?

Whilst I'm here, can I change tabs to work like Chrome. I.e. currently on Firefox when I'm on the new tab page, and I click a shortcut, it then opens a tab, pressing back goes back to the new tab page but leaves the tab open in the background rather than closing it.

The new tab page should be part of the new tab, hence the name, so when I press back I should still be in that tab, but back to the new tab page, and without any tabs open in the background that I now have to go and close myself. If I don't choose them, next time I go to that site by pressing the shortcut, it'll open the already loaded tab instead, forcing me to refresh it manually and adding a superfluous step for literally no rational reason I can think of. Firefox seems to act like a tab is launched from the new tab page, rather than the new tab page is the first page you see in a new tab.

I hate these behaviours, they don't make sense, so thanks in advance for at least trying to fix them for me.

 

If there a way to filter other languages or something? It's good they're there, but seeing posts from communities that communicate entirely in a language I don't read is basically useless and in tired of filtering eight communities per day only to make little to no difference.
