I thought this was real shitposting:

Naw, we just need equal access to cocaine. Level the playing field with subsidized cocaine I say!

Right, that’s what I’m saying. We have cheap gas/petrol but food prices here are skyrocketing.

Might not be able to buy groceries but at least we have $3.00/gallon, or $0.80/liter, fuel for our planet destroying pickup trucks!

This is not the kind of corn smut I cum here for!

NSFL sometimes stands for “not safe for life” but either is fine with me.

National Stupid Football League, or NSFL for short!

They also took the worst case predictions and then doubled them to be “conservative”.

I watch it for the same reason I watch William Osman. They do a lot of fun bullshit videos like trying to watercool a server rack with a swimming pool.

Ahh yeah the provided router might not have some of the more advanced features. But suffice to say this isn’t so much a steam problem as it is a “how computer networks work” problem. The way routers work by default tends to penalize “bursty” traffic like loading websites/gaming/voice and prioritize sustained traffic like your download, so it’s nice that valve provide the option to limit the bandwidth. I’m on satellite internet right now waiting for verizon to finish their fiber install and I can’t even use that reliably because my bandwidth changes constantly D=

What kind of router do you have? If it has any kind of “smart queue” or “smart qos” you could try enabling that and it will de-prioritize steam’s packets (as needed) so that web browsing and voip still work.

Ahh yeah this could be. My system isn’t by any means crazy but it is modern. A tuned 5600x (draws about 115W at full load) and an nvme 3.0 ssd. I’m being bottlenecked by internet bandwidth at the moment.

Steam gets around this problem by doing the decompressing on the fly as you download. Go check out your CPU usage next time you install a game.

I bought a lifetime pass for 100 bucks about 10 years ago, and have had 10 years of not having to give a shit about these announcements. I’ve saved well over 100 bucks on streaming services in that time. Worth it 1000%.

Which makes it extra amusing to me that they coat the pins or whatever with plastic so you cant accidentally touch live while inserting it.

Fun fact, the only reason North America can get away with our dinky plugs and sockets is because we only run 120V (typically). Anything here that’s 240V will have a much beefier plug and socket, more similar to the UK plugs. Heres a 240V/30A and a 240V/50A. These don’t bother with the coated pins because it would typically be plugged in once behind a big appliance and never touched again.

Speaking from personal experience with family? Quicken. Yes you CAN get it running in Wine but not everything works. Also I could get it running in exactly one distro and then I could never seem to get it installed again, even following advice from someone on WineHQ.

Halitosis was already the medical term for bad breath, with evidence of its use in England. All that word did was give an American businessman/marketer a polite euphemism to talk about something that was considered taboo at the time (body odors were associated with poor hygiene and lower status people). It does seem like they pushed hard with marketing to make it into a more widespread “problem” though.
