I actually agree, it was one small problem I had with the video, he portrays the Boots theory of socio-economic unfairness as a basic “buy once cry once” thing, when really it’s about how being poor is expensive. It doesn’t matter if over the course of 5 years it makes sense to pay 4 times the cost for a product that lasts 5 times longer, it’s that poor people can’t afford a 4x cost product. Most people understand that quality stuff lasts longer, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t pay it and you need boots.

Rolling Star is what I think of when I think of Bleach, so I think that’s my choice haha

It’s the killdeer! We get returning birds across the road every year. Silly little running cotton balls with rock colored eggs in gravel nests, and they just had babies.

If you like and want to buy a Tesla for reasons other than supporting Musk or his companies, I’d hear the argument. But there are better choices in vehicles for every reason I can think of, and expensive luxury electric vehicles can be had without it being a Tesla.

I certainly have categories, but not quite as neat. It’s a crazy mix of genre and vibes, and many are in multiple categories.

Finished, RPGs, VN and anime, With Friends Only, Trash, Garbage, Need to finish, low interest, party games, roguelikes, and a few more that I can’t remember right now.

I also have a dynamic category for filtering with a specific steam friend when we’re figuring out what to play, that filters for multiplayer tags and that they also own. Plus, removed the trash that no one wants to play.

I remember getting almost all of Fairy Tail from a friend, and the last two seasons only had subtitles in Portuguese instead of English. He didn’t know because he hadn’t made it far enough yet lol.

I just bought the F.E.A.R bundle from steam a week ago or so, and beat the first game in the series 20 years after release. And other than a fan made .dll patch, it was great. Lacked some depth more modern titles have, but I also noticed how much effort was put into some details that were surprising for its age.

Witcher 3 was also self published, and it came down to 70% off after a few years.

I also think this is fairly poorly presented or polled data, but your first point isn’t quite correct I don’t think. Those percentages are not mutually exclusive, it could be a much smaller percentage of influence that covers multiple categories. “A celebrity caused me to change my opinion and also go vote and their stance made me like them” is all possible from the same interaction.

It is not illegal to make backup copies for yourself of games you have purchased and own.

Good! That’s what I want to hear.

There will always be another shitty person and yes it is exhausting. My partner is non-binary, I understand some of it. But online is literally the easiest place to be an ID and not a person. Don’t put anything in your profile, don’t hint stuff with your usernames, make your pfp a cartoon sheep, and only express anything that might bring harassment in places that will accept it, and make that a separate identity. I use the same username everywhere and it’s unique, but I’m also not a target.

I can empathize with it being a problem, but there are (annoying and unfair) steps to mitigate it. It might even involve removing or abandoning all of your online identities so you can’t be tracked down, but people get doxed all the time and have to start over.

Constant harassment? No because I block people at the drop of a hat. Unprompted friend request? Blocked. Playing music in global chat? Blocked. Shitty username? Blocked. Don’t deal with people, a single infraction is enough to remove internet strangers forever.

I’ve seen brass colored on some older plugs.
