  • Can we just take it as a given the US is not going to do shit for NATO, and that we’re on our Todd?

    Sooner we move ahead with that as a given fact we can commit to turn alliance, or whatever remains of it, into something stable for the rest of the members, and whoever else wants to join.

    Heck, let’s add Australia, Mexico, Canada, and whoever else doesn’t want to bomb the ever loving shit out of random people to the EU while we’re at it.

    At this point it’s starting to make sense to commit to the idea of helping Trump wall off the USA, so the rest of the world can get on with its life. We’ll check back in on them in a few centuries.










  • Love how they chose Valve specifically. I’d think it’d be better going after the companies making those games rather than a distributor.

    Not really gonna discourage the game creators from making loot box mechanics.

    Though I will say that I think any and everyone profiting from loot boxes should get fined wherever and whenever possible. I’d just start somewhere more impactful.

    Edit: I see I had a proper logical short circuit in my original statement.

    I only considered loot boxes as mechanics required for game changing advantages, gear, and loot. Not things like cosmetics.

    Last time I played CS it didn’t even have cosmetics, I only played DOTA as a Warcraft 3 mod, and I thought TF2 was limited to hats and sidegrades that could be unblocked through playing and achievements still.

    Furthermore, I didn’t stop to consider that people would actually gamble their money away on in game cosmetic items.

    That’s on me, not taking the time to consider things properly in the early morning hours.

    I’d like to thank the people who pointed out my error, and I’m pleasantly surprised about how civil and to the point everyone was. A nice throwback to how I remember the internet used to be, though I’m probably looking at that with rose tinted goggles too.

    Cheers!
