It kinda depends but the answer in most cases is no: Err on the side of caution and say nothing unless she expresses interest and you feel the same way now. Then it might be OK to admit you had a crush on her back in the day.

Holy shit who said anything about worshiping? Unhinged response. Follow your own advice and touch some grass buddy.

Steam delists games, however, if you already bought it, you still have access to it.

No, I don't.

I can (and should) look at each one on a case by case basis, compare the parts, the actual costs of said parts, and make a determination from there. In the case of Steam devices, I do not lot believe they are price gouging - you can build a similar device that's going to be on par with or less expensive than their machine, but not by all that much.

US here: Names are all over the place.

Yeah, that seems like it could be alright.

Maybe he'll even send me a Steam Frame! Or a yacht! I heard he has a bunch of those.

Tacos are not actors.

I'm taking this out of context and there's nothing you can do about it.

Kind of, but I think a lot of people might view them more as take out as opposed to fast food.

what the hell is coRz?

I chimney up the stall about halfway and drop that deuce like a mountain goat.

Maybe you've have enough Internet for today but before you go, allow me to explain:

When someone says something like that, they don't literally mean it.

"I love tacos" does not actually mean that I have genuine feelings of love for them (even if they are delicious).

It's just a phrase.

Support the devs when you can.

Fun related fact: Most pirates end up spending far more on games and other media than the average person in the long run.

Thank you, that is much clearer!

Supposedly if Steam ever goes under they'll unlock everything, but if you ask me: GOG is just the thing for you!

Or set sail if it's a shitty company that stole the game you bought, arrr....

If you are a Linux user, check out Lutris for installing GOG games. I've been using it with Bazzite lately and its been pretty good but they also have native standalone installers for some games. Also, standalone Windows and MacOS installers where applicable.

Edit: Evidently, there are some games on Steam that are also DRM free. You just have to sign in to download it, which is reasonable as you need a good way to download it more than once without letting any random person with the link download it. Not exactly 1:1 for how GOG can work but could be worse.

Why do you think that? Turning off DRM would be trivial and they might even end up being legally obligated to do just that either because of laws or because of how whatever hypothetical bankruptcy they go through might be structured. Never mind Valve going belly up seems highly unlikely to begin with. If it does ever happen and it happens in the way you describe, piracy will absolutely skyrocket and people will stop buying games online after they've had their trust shaken.

The cost of making the Steam Deck has gone up. Valve can't sell them at a massive loss or they'll go out of business. That's not Valve jacking up the price, like I already pointed out:

Go re-read my post, because you clearly missed an important part

the only reason their hardware is expensive now is because part manufacturers are mostly price gouging (lying about AI being the cause of ALL the increased costs, which isn't true, just like it wasn't entirely true with the bitcoin mining craze).

Building a PC for yourself has skyrocketed in price too, blaming Valve is just ridiculous and anyone making that argument is just showing everyone that they are wildly ignorant.

Also, scalping is shitty.

So, you are blaming Steam for other platforms being way shittier: Maybe the other companies should be less shitty instead instead of trying to nickle and dime their customers while offering up garbage-to-mediocre services. Blaming Steam for making a platform that isn't a fucking dumpster fire is ridiculous.

I did read and I disagree with your assessment: It was not really explained.

Fortunately I don't have this problem on any of my personal machines because I formatted all my Windows drives and migrated everything to Linux, which has been a far better experience. Running Bazzite on my gaming machine and Mint on my general use laptop. Also SteamOS on my handheld. Would recommend.
