    I’m not trying to defend anyone here, though it might seem like that, but I’m not sure why valve is lumped in with this, especially since that’s the steam logo.

    Steam, as a platform, hasn’t released much of anything, ever. Valve has been sitting mostly on the sidelines since half-life 2 episode 2 and HL:Alyx.

    Steam itself is just a marketplace.

    I get that a lot of publishers on steam will fall into the categories of games that are the subject of the meme, but I have a hard time piling steam with the games that are published on it.

    And yes, corporations are not our friends, and all billionaires are bad billionaires, eat the rich and all that… I’m just saying. There’s a lot of bigger, much worse, fish to fry than gaben, valve, and steam in this discussion. That could have been EA’s logo, or the Xbox logo (or ms game studios or whatever) or any number of massive publishers that are relevant here. Using the steam logo is lazy at best.




  • Both for this and for healthcare.

    The nurses are struggling to get a fair deal while somehow the billions a year put into healthcare goes where exactly?

    Not to the front line staff, I’ll tell you that much.

    And I get it, materials and equipment isn’t cheap but between nurses salaries and material costs, and the occasional multi-million dollar piece of equipment… I just don’t see where it’s all being spent. Between the middle and upper management, there needs to be an overhaul.

    Education on every level isn’t dissimilar.

    Hell, most government services need a review, at the very least.



  • When I was a kid, first using computers in the mid 1980s, blue LEDs were considered to be impossible to make.

    So my basic bitch IBM clone only had red indicator lights.

    The implication is that people who grew up with newer technology had stuff that was fancier than the stuff older generations had, which is objectively true.

    I’m sorry that you didn’t get the joke, and I’m sorry that I had to explain it to you.

    Good luck with life, seems like you’ll need it.

    It’s not lost forever. They have seeds in the global seed vault, and there’s a few small growers still producing them.

    You can actually buy a box of them still. They’re expensive as all hell, but you can do it.

    Get a few friends together and put some money into a pot, then buy a box and have a banana party.
