Got permanently banned on twitter for jokingly stating I couldn't wait for all Baby boomers to die of old age, apparently that's discrimination and promoting violence. But a singer here was openly racist with the vice president candidate (now vice president elect lmao) on twitter multiple times and she never even got her account suspended, same with the senator that retweets nazis or the zionist far righter who openly calls for the extermination of palestinians. Twitter is weird.

Twitter is letting lizard people say what they want because they are also lizard people.

Is Steam calling me weebtrash to my face?

I bought these and Cities: Skylines.

Stanley Parable is fantastic, it will be even more if you still didn't saw nothing on youtube, Cities Skylines tho, I must say that as a big SimCity 4 fan it got me kinda disapointed. If you only want to create a beautiful city with a lot of freedom it is a great game (especially with some mods), but the socioeconomic simulation is pretty lacking.

I discovered an addiction to housework which I had never felt before.

Just because they play it doesn't mean they enjoy it. I played World of Tanks for quite some time. But I didn't feel like I "enjoyed" playing it. It was more a habbit than anything else. And at some point I realised that and just stoped doing it.
 
I bought these and Cities: Skylines.
I bought Divinity Original Sin 2 on GOG.com instead. Because it was a tiny bit cheaper and I prefer to buy any games on GOG instead of Steam.
I bought that game so I could play it with my wife.
 
Well for one thing, no DRM, and for another, they sell you a manual installer that you can keep; it does not require an Internet connection to use it, nor the game to play it (excepting online multi-player).

Gog does not run nanny-ware alongside your game... well not unless you choose it—by installing Galaxy.

Both Steam and GoG update, and when they do, you lose access to the previous installer—but with GoG you can have kept the previous installer, and still have it if you have need of it. I still have the original Fallout 1 & 2 installers, from before Bethesda censored them.

GoG allows you to download local patch installers as well.

In my own experience GoG's product support is a lot better and timelier than Steam's.

*It goes without saying that this means you can reinstall the (sometimes 40GB+) game without re-downloading it.

Why gog instead of steam? Just curious. lso, I only have steam. No epic or gog.
I think what brings people to buy games on GoG (other than sometimes cheaper prices) is the fact that you truly own your game, there is no DRM or anything on their games.

GoG games don't require a launcher or anything to run. If steam one day shut down (which is highly unlikely), or even if you get your account banned your games might go with it. Owning a game on GoG is somewhat akin to owning a physical copy, as long as you have your installer or game files it will work.

And also they rerelease old games with compatibility patches for modern systems included. Like the classic Fallouts for example, the GoG version used to be a lot better than Steam one.
 
When New Vegas came out, I bought the collectors edition; it had the game on DVD inside.
I was not amused when the installer turned out to be a Steam stub, and one that refused to install if Steam was unavailable—as it was when I tried to install it.

This was an endless loop.

I was (and still am) quite ticked off with Obsidian. I bought the disc version to be able to install from it, and they didn't even put the game on the disc. Very deceptive and disingenuous; I won't be trusting them again.
