A 6 month monopoly on a single game? That’s... not a thing. The game releasing on a different store isn’t bad for the consumers, if anything it’s just an inconvenience. One that ends 6 months after release. 

Yes. When I cannot get a game anywhere else without being forced into Steam’s launcher then...yeah bro, that is exactly what an exclusive means. That’s Exactly what people are pissed about Epic’s launcher doing, but they have absolutely no problem with every store out there only giving you Steam keys. Want to play…

And what practice is that, exactly?

Is it any competition to the beloved Steam or is it buying exclusives to make their platform stand out? If it’s the former, tough shit, get over it. If it’s the latter, uh...yeah, tough shit, get over it. They’re building their business and their brand, you don’t have to like it, but…

Actually because of Epic’s 12% cut vs. Valve’s 30% cut you absolutely could compete with Steam. Somewhere in that 12-30% range is a potential price cut on games that still nets both sides more of a profit than releasing on Steam.

In fairness (I guess it’s fairness?) there really wasn’t anything like Epic Store before this so I don’t think steam was really adamantly keeping things exclusive. If you were, say, the developer of Hollow Knight and you were looking into how to release the game on PC, your options probably looked like this at the…

I am so completely done with this absolutely fucking moronic, misguided horseshit crusade against Epic.

Look, I get it, the Epic store has a long way to go, but it’s been around for FOUR GODDAMN MONTHS! Valve has had 12 YEARS to develop and build up Steam to where it is now. Yes there are things the Epic store should…

This is what blows me away. I’ve never seen this much crowd support for a monopoly in my life. You can’t expect Epic to have the same games as Steam and compete with them. And this is a TIMED exclusive. And a short one. Good Christ. 

WAHHHHHH EXCLUSIVITY IS BULLSHIT

I think the argument is that the healthier you are, the less likely you are to suffer health problems for decades before shoving off the mortal coil.

So really, chugging soda will make you happy now, and and reduce you’re time of being miserable later. It’s a win win

Sure, it takes years off your life. But they’re the shitty years!! My great aunt lived to 92, which was about 20 years longer than it should have been. between the macular degeneration, osteoporosis and dementia, she ended up talkingto her dead relatives, complaining she couldn’t see them.

Fact: Soda takes years off your life.

I know that’s the theory, but my little year old lovey dovey kitten thinks she’s a god damn 200 lb jaguar. Jaguars ain’t afraid of shit. They kill and eat fucking crocodiles and anacondas.

Plus, at some point even the sweetest cat has done something to its owner just to be a dick. So it certainly seems like turnabout…

Some of y’all just need to calm the fuck down about spoilers. What did you think he was just gonna be stuck in the quantum realm the whole fucking time? It’s not a spoiler to show that something that obviously was going to happen happened. Same with the Tony thing. Oh yeah they’re going to build up this whole heroic…

It may be retired, but in my opinion, F-14 Tomcat is one of the coolest (if not THE coolest) looking jet fighter of the last few decades.

Another way to look at this is that there comes a point in a company’s history where the crazy visionary who founded it just gets in the way. What is Elon doing now but getting in the way?

As a Tesla investor, these Tesla investors can fuck right off. You don’t get crazy visionaries without the crazy and anyone who disagrees isn’t a crazy visionary (I’m serious, if you disagree, check to see if you’re a crazy visionary).

I used to kill myself fussing about my points/cash back/miles and getting the optimum value for them, but I honestly stopped a while ago.  Now I just look up the best 2 or 3 ways to spend them and then spend them.  I had to come to realize that the savings of the extra planning wasn’t worth the time I was spending.  

This is nifty sport fishing, but for true industrial strength cleanup we need a slight adaptation of this:

The power output of many modern V6's can easily surpass that of older v8's common in 4runners.
