  • So, ok.

    1. They introduced exclusivity requiring people to use their storefront. So some would argue that Steam did that first… though only with games they made. This in of itself may not normally be that big a deal… if they didn’t rug pull customers of a few anticipated games into thinking they were getting steam keys because they were advertised as being on steam.
    2. The EGS is still not feature complete. This goes hand in hand with problem one. The exclusivity bars the “”free market”” from making a choice as to which platform is better. And the ceo blatantly said that he did not care about trying to make a good store front, he could just force people into a worse system with exclusivity.
    3. The EGS was against the very idea of a refund policy. Its owners were very very loud about it. As a matter of fact the ceo himself has caused a lot of the hate for the EGS though they have since given up and i think they match steam now.
    4. The actual user interface and customer service are terrible. In contrast steam has been outstanding in its implementation
    5. EGS did not initially allow user reviews, and wile i hear that there is some form of it now, they take a much less open approach to silencing dissent. As opposed to stream who still keeps dissent, but will give context to the scoring.

    The EHS has given up on most of its open disdain for the consumer, but it apparently is going to take a lot more than a few years and free games to win over the crowd. And i personally REFUSE to have competing launchers on my system, and stream has the best good will with me by such a long shot, i don’t see how it would be remotely possible to get me to consider adding EGS.




  • Um… yea? It’s not supposed to? Let’s ignore how dangerous and foolish it would be to allow llm’s admin control of a system. The thing that prevents it from doing that is well, the llm has no mechanism to do that. The best it could do is ask you to open a command line and give you some code to put in. Its kinda like asking siri to preheat your oven. It didn’t have access to your ovens system.

    You COULD get a digital only stove, and the llm could be changed to give it to reach out side itself, but its not there yet, and with how much siri miss interprets things, there would be a lot more fires








  • No matter how specialized gorilla warfare would look, it’s still effective. Arming the progressives is key, which prompted my exclamation that all progressives should be armed. The narrative that guns should be banned is not only an unfeasible goal, but i do not see any way out of an armed conflict. And sure there may be other tools, but gorilla warfare is just ‘an irregular form of combat in which small, mobile groups use tactics like ambushes, sabotage, and hit-and-run attacks to fight a larger, conventional military force.’ Which is the exact scenario a rebellion would be facing and is proven effective against the US armed forces. Not sure what warfare you would argue would be better.


  • A war that becomes too costly to fight is a war lost. And kinda proves my point. I made no claim about how glorious, or easy an uprising would be, but i am not going to accept “its too hard” as a legitimate argument for giving up to tyranny. People are not very different, even at their most societal extremes, and the same tactics will work even better here in the states then where they were used on other countries soil, because of the very nature of guerrilla warfare and the previous advantages that the US enjoyed losing the previous wars would not be available.






    1. Paying only lip service to trump cost them nothing, and pays big dividends to them. They fundamentally had to change nothing to accommodate this. This is pretty much accepted as very transparent to all but you.

    2. At no point did i equate faking a cease fire, to an invasion. Trump plans to invade Gaza, and i believe i specifically mentioned trump was way worse.
