Several genocides are going on right now, and have been for decades, almost like it's got nothing to do with who's in charge in the US or something.

This feels very "just found out about politics and damn" tbh.

The game isn't really teaching anything of note beyond "private entities have their own interests," which anyone who would even find this compelling already knows.

It should still work fine with SteamVR right? I'm not too pressed.

No way!

Post scarcity societies can't be approached in any meaningful way with modern economic theories.

Star Trek is neither socialist nor capitalist, as both are systems designed to manage and portion out scarcity, and are based on economic theories that lack any predictive abilities in systems that don't work in a context of scarce resources that need administration.

Neither the labour theory of value nor marginal utility theory make any sense when all resources are trivial to obtain for individuals and whatever resources your community uses can be reused virtually endlessly within the limits of entropy.

That's incorrect, it's a system where you die if nobody wants you to do anything, which is a much lower threshold to clear given how many things can be delegated.

Like, you can make a living making art, which is not necessary but definitely something people want, if you're good at it.

"Would buy Valve"

Yeah, no shit, so would I.

Who'd have thought that they have eyes and can do basic math?

Valve is a money printing machine with a ludicrously devoted client base, it's a no brainer to want to buy it, but it's not publicly traded so good fucking luck LMAO.

Former CEO of EA does EA things, color me shocked.

The problem is not affordable housing, there's plenty of that in the US, the problem is getting people to states where housing is affordable without significant drops in quality of life due to lack of access to services and such.

Like, you could buy land in Detroit for the price of a decent car, put a trailer on it and you're already on the property ladder, but you're in Detroit.

And even if it weren't, jokes are allowed to be edgy.

You can say fuck on the internet, as they say.

And I for one lived through enough of the 90s (all of 'em) that I don't care for this "must sanitize everything, think of the children" attitude just because it's suddenly coming from the left.

So yeah, fuck'em, communities are accountable to their members, not random mouthbreathers barging in demanding to be accommodated.

You wouldn't do it at your clubhouse and you shouldn't do it here, either.

Cause one of the two is fucking stupid.

The word "Master" isn't exclusively tied to slavery and to deem it offensive on those grounds pretty much guarantees you're American and have an understanding of history that makes any actually educated person want to vomit.

A Master branch, like a master copy of a recording, is the reference copy against which others are measured, it's not a master in the sense of ownership but in the sense of benchmarking, like a master of a craft.

Yeah, it's got a very satisfying game loop:

• open library
• browse my 800+ games
• realise this is how women feel when they look at their packed closets and say "i have nothing to wear"
• close steam
• wait a bit
• open steam
• repeat
