As great as Gaben and Valve are his word doesn't mean anything (it's not a personal attack either, it's just that it isn't anything binding). Luckily if they fail to keep their promises (or legally cannot) then the crack community will step in. I'm pretty sure they cracked Steam DRM ages ago. I remember a friend using it for Left 4 Dead back in the day.

Maybe at work just ask IT to switch your machine to Linux.

Good luck lmao

Small content creator makes informative, honest review of a product. Honey gets money on the commission. This makes you happy?

(You don't buy Honey.)

2, they managed to wring a sci-fi story out of "stupid video about singing heads in toilets."

It's unironically one of my favorite examples of "show don't tell" storytelling.

It's actually really good! It's a classic case of things getting popular and cringe fans. Undertale is another big example of this, at least the first few years it was out. I guess Minecraft too, at times.

Skibidi Toilet is a series of short form videos using assets from Garry's Mod and/or Source Film Maker. It features the camera heads (protagonists) fighting the toilet heads (antagonists). The toilets can be defeated by flushing the toilet. The series features an escalation of violence and weapons on both sides along with at least one additional faction joining.

It's actually pretty good. Like a lot of things the youth are into it's their obsession with it that's annoying moreso than the content.

How on earth is this confusing? Skibidi toilet is like one of the biggest memes right now. Fortnite has practically everyone and everything in it nowadays.

It's near the line, I agree, I see your point, but it's just the terminology and no gambling mechanics. You don't set the ante, you just play. They could change the name ante to level and it would be the same. It's not like you look at your stuff and decide how much you're willing to risk. (You could argue skipping blinds is this sort of risk analysis like gambling but that's hardly unique to Balatro.) There is no benefit from stopping earlier because if you lose on ante one or lose on ante seven it's the same outcome. Also, if you choose to restart one ante one or ante seven it's the same outcome. Because it's just a score keeping mechanism. Nothing more.

Luigi Mangione played Among Us, an assassination game!
