My father worked as an environmental engineer for an oil company cleaning up oil spills and messes. He wanted a certain quality of life, so we only ever lived in southern or messed up states. Texas, Missouri and 7 years in Utah. Going to elementary school with the racist bigot Mormons was hell. Long story short he is a Neo-Liberal Boomer that helped the oil industry with his efficiency and diligence cover up issues and increase profits. A money hawk and penny-pincher, who wouldn’t move to blue states because of higher prices, believing in American Exceptionalism, and has zero regrets working for a company that helped destroy the world. I admit he’s not the worst by a long shot. But I would have preferred being broke and poor in another country and him not working for mankind’s enemies.

It seems pretty evident to me that in the coming decade there is going to be massive world changes… If you have any desire to actually OWN your games in the future, you really need to be burning off GOG Offline Installers of your games.

Imagine WW3 really kicks off, maybe your country gets Nuked, maybe Climate disaster fragments the internet and Steam (or the other “Leasers” of games) goes offline either way. In the grim darkness of the not-so-distant future, will you have your game library intact?

Fuck Epic… And while I’m here, screw Valve as well. You own nothing from all these “Leasers”. If you truly want to archive, preserve, and hand down your games in your will to future generations, you will need GOG offline installers. I burn these on to M-Disc Media that is supposed to last hundreds of years!

I just can’t with Steam anymore… Social media is cancer, Mmos are just about preening about and showing off your fashion. Essentially all the amazing features and functionality of the Steam Client really isn’t needed for the Anti-Capitalist, grumpy old people that generally hate other people, companies, FOMO and silly achievements like I’m a fucking child again.

100% accurate!

Wtf did I just read? You are a funny person!

Well said, I agree completely!

Try to also keep in mind what Keanue Reeves once said. I don’t remember the quote word for word but it’s like this. Someone asked him what he thinks happens after we die? And he said, “I don’t know, but I do know that the people who love you, will miss you.” And so, when you die the people who care about you suffer… This is the reason to keep living that many hold onto. Its a great quote from a very kind man.

I mean help people in your life, as it reduces their suffering, and it feels good for yourself in doing so. Show Compassion and the knowledge that reducing suffering either for yourself or others is more important than increasing pleasure for yourself. There is an in-balance in life. People generally have far more suffering than happiness… so it’s important to focus on not increasing other people’s suffering even more.

Negative Utilitarianism… To reduce Suffering in the world. To reduce more suffering than you cause.

I would go back further. 400,000 years back, with weapons to eradicate the human species. We are anathema to this planet’s other life. Humans are a toxic disease.

Peh

Altman be praised!

Dunno about funny, but insightful and empathetic, yes. Cheers!

I’m an oft-invisible lurker, however, your comment is amazing and I appreciate it. Cheers!
