Silver lining is that at least you can buy a regular M2 NVME SSD, unlike with Xbox. Had to pay something like €150 for a proprietary 1TB drive because of my life choices T_T

I just read that those 14g of ethanol is an equivalent to 0,33L lager. Daily drinking is still alcoholism - get your life together, chimpanzees.

Jesus, that was a depressing read :(

You’d still expect it to be larger share because they take a big cut (licensing fee) from third party physical sales too.

You don’t seem to understand the difference between criticism of action and criticism of character, I haven’t engaged in the latter yet.

Yes, you seem to revel in it which was my point exactly.

Ad hominem, you must feel so clever.

I think you forgot to make a point in your comment, unless saying my opinions are dumb is everything you wanted to communicate. In that case, may I ask you to elaborate on why you think that is because all I’m seeing is a speedrun of Godwin’s law.

I think they’re urging wrong side of the border.

Microsoft is a huge company so unless it’s the gaming division doing the Gaza genocide then you’re engaging in an actual whataboutism that you dislike so much.

Virtue signalling is a thing but I counter stochastic terrorism by acting like I don’t know conservative lingo so that they have to explain it, which exposes their true beliefs in the process.

Mentioning Valve when I Iiterally only mentioned Linux and MS is whataboutism.

You do get your games through Steam, don’t you? It’s a fairly safe assumption given that you stated you play on Linux. Valve monopoly there is even stronger than on Windows.

Gaming spaces are full of pointless negativity these days so my „whataboutism” was meant to showcase that much of it is rooted in tribalism, serves no other purpose than to feel good about yourself and it can cut both ways.

That there is the main reason I left reddit. Go find some windmills to fight.

There’s plenty of gaming communities in the Fediverse to pick from, you won’t find me in other ones.
