Nail clippers. Got them originally to help with a bad habit of cuticle picking, but I’ve learned they’re weirdly useful. They can cut things in a pinch and no security check gives a shit about them unlike a pocket knife.

You mean CE doesnt stand for “clear everything”? And here I thought more letters meant more clearing.

The war on Christmas shall not cease until it stops its illegal occupation of November.

Congrats on the release!

Well of course I know him, he’s me (not anymore thankfully, but I have had to write that kind of copy before)

I can’t speak for OP, but personally it makes my bullshit detector kick into high gear any time a corporate channel talks in a casual, friendly tone like that. It comes across as very insincere and infantalizing to me.

Funny how the key stakeholders are never on the chopping block, huh?

Wow, that letter to employees was even soulless by corporate non-apology standards.

It’s not their fault they’re gatekeepers, it’s a symptom of their success. The biggest platform will have a much greater pull inherently, and it should be their responsibility to act fairly because of that position. Thankfully they seem to take that seriously so far. We can only hope it stays that way.

Having the biggest audience to the degree that they do absolutely makes them a gatekeeper. If Steam became predatory tomorrow it would have a catastrophic effect on the consumer friendliness of the current PC market because you wouldn’t have anywhere else to turn for many games. GOG and Itch don’t have nearly as large of a selection of mainstream stuff.

Right, that’s the article that doesn’t explain why they’re doing it.

Why are they doing it? Legal troubles? I didn’t see any explanation in the article.

Now I need to find a let’s play for this…

What is this animation from?

You would think! 😅

As a game designer, I would prefer my security be maintained through an elaborate series of puzzles.

Places using “gluten-friendly” to mean “gluten-free”. I am gluten-UNfriendly. I do not want gluten. They’ve tried to be cute and actually managed to make the term mean the opposite of what it’s supposed to.

My condolences to anyone who has to spend enough time on LinkedIn that you would need to kill time there.
