Considering they supposedly cited performance as a reason, they might've been about to pull a Cities skylines 2 indeed

In the table, the Center and Right text is supposed to be center and right-aligned within their respective cells

Everyone being equally miserable could be preferable to some people being happy, since it gives everybody equal reasons to work towards improving the situation... Except, of course, the monkey paw would ensure that wouldn't pan out

Right, so you consider calculators to be computers too? And I don't mean the beefy scientific calculators, just simple ones with basic operations.

I think I saw a video mentioning they are illegal in some places, showing just why they're so dangerous

I mean, couldn't an addon just read the password you put into a login field, or send in a request, and send it off to their servers?

I generally agree, but I'm not gonna continue buying on steam just because they're developing new tech - I happily buy games on steam because of the features steam provides.

That said, DRM-free games is something steam does not and probably will not provide - it's a niche GOG is comfortable with, so many people who value freedom on software will choose it as their first platform of choice.

In that sense, the hardware is completely unrelated - it does nothing towards the goal of DRM-free games, and in case of the index, locks more games behind a platform.

What take even is that? I can understand some complaints about Linux support for how much people praise the deck, but why would they make their own handheld... And VR headset? I feel like hardware shouldn't be locked to specific platforms, and I would rather blame Valve for not releasing steam-independent software for their headset.

I might be wrong, but since "saddened" would express a change towards more sadness, "consistently saddened" would mean I get sad (or more sad?) every time I see that kind of thing. However, my intention is to say more that the saddening is consistent - every time I see something happens, consistently. I'm not permanently sad, but the way the language is changing is usually making me sad.

I feel like "constantly" might not be appropriate here, but again, I might just not know English well enough myself. To me, constantly would mean unchangingly, meaning I never stop being saddened. In this context, I feel like that means my mood is continuously descending - but instead those are isolated instances of temporary saddening of varying intensity.

Of course, it's just a lighthearted comment on a meme, but I'd be happy to learn if my understanding is wrong! And, honestly, I don't mind this kind of slang and internet speak, but it annoys me to see "literally" lose its meaning and gain the actual opposite meaning, that kind of thing.

The real fun starts when things move faster than the speed of light, that's when you get Cherenkov radiation!

I'm consistently saddened by the changing state of the English language 😔
