I will rue the day this inevitably happens.
  • Depends on the game, sometimes you can just delete the steam dll next to the executable, others require a steam emulator which amounts to just dropping in a spoofed steam dll. I think the preferred emulator these days is Goldberg steam emu on gitlab.

  • I will rue the day this inevitably happens.
  • Doesn't matter, Steam offers DRM free games. Steam DRM is opt-in and can be broken by anyone in seconds, and games with other DRM have a big glowing warning on their store page. You give money to Steam for their servers that support multiplayer, their workshop, seamless patching, user forums, image hosting, controller support, Proton for Linux, SteamDB, easy multiplayer via the friends interface, achievement tracking, and a large majority cut to the developers. Your complaints apply to basically every storefront, the only way you'll own data is by having it on your own disk which Steam lets you do.

  • Year of Linux on the Desktop
  • Someone who's going to use Ubuntu wouldn't know what "debian," "mint debian," or "canonical" are. You should include an actual explanation or link to what you're referring to when trying to help beginners otherwise you've failed to help them

  • You guys need to stop
  • I'm a computer guy and view an automatic as just that: Automation to do away with a needless repetitive task. Not to say that I missed your analogy, but "full control" is an awfully overblown way to put it when it comes to a manual unless you're doing NASCAR or something. Our programmers and engineers know what they're doing. Your car can automatically shift gears and do more than well enough to get you to work and back.

  • You guys need to stop
  • Learned automatic then later manual out of necessity and this is just nuts to me. People enjoy that? Driving is already fairly obnoxious just getting around traffic and the extra tedium of having to shift gears at every stop and go was awful. This has to be some kind of Stockholm syndrome or nostalgia or something

  • Do you wipe standing up or sitting down
  • I'm the total opposite, I can reach my ass fine standing up but I've tried wiping while sitting and having to cram my hand between the seat and my ass is just disgusting and I have a terrible angle on it since my hand is going down into the bowl and has to then make an almost 90 degree turn to reach anything. If you could explain this I'd be grateful honestly

  • Dusk: Unpopular opinion: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly
  • This is still easily verifiably untrue in practice. Go to isthereanydeal and you'll see verified, approved Steam key retailers running sales for under the Steam price on hundreds of games literally every day. Humble offers a global discount on all keys in their store if you're s subscriber, undercutting virtually every Steam page. That's not to mention the bundles they sell which regularly cut hundreds of dollars of keys down to a few bucks.
