    Revenge of the Steam Machine.

    Sure, let's stick a disc drive in the machine that literally only plays games that no one sells on disc, and hasn't in like a decade and a half.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Meanwhile I'm curious what's going on with those right-wing voters who broke with Trump on this issue specifically and started demanding he release the files. Did they get bored and go back to bashing Democrats, or are they still on board with this? Y'all are my only source of evidence that such...

    Revenge of the Steam Machine.

    They already said they intend to price it comparably to any other PC of its type, rather than sell at a loss like a console, so no, basically you're just buying a PC you can't upgrade or run Windows apps on for the same cost as one you can, just for an excuse to give Valve your money. And those...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    I feel like you need to elaborate on this more. We're still living with the aftermath of the Patriot Act, sure, but the Iraq War specifically? I feel like in the long run all that did was cripple the Republicans' credibility, and even that didn't last. Well, and it killed a lot of people, but I...

    Sonic The Hedgehog

    I'm out of the loop on some of this stuff, this is going to sound like a dumb question to the superfans: Is this the first time those two have been in any game? For that matter, is it the first time any characters created for the comics have been in any official game?

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    What leverage? They didn't gain any seats; that was all in Virginia's state assembly.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    At this point, keeping the shutdown going indefinitely just to hurt the maximum number of needy people as possible probably is the Republcians' actual goal, so you could offer them anything and they'd still say no. You could probably offer a full concession to whatever the hell their demands...

    Between rising meat prices and China cutting back on their imports of soy, forcing us to find other uses for it, Trump might actually end up turning more Americans into vegetarians than any number of animal rights activists could ever dream of. Work in a reference to the "soyboy" thing and...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    For context, they went from 51-48 in the House of Delegates to 64-36. It's being reported as a "supermajority" despite being less than two thirds, so maybe they measure that differently than Congress. Democrats already hold a slight majority in the state Senate, and their current governor is a...

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    Moon landing deniers are my favorite conspiracy theorists to make fun of, because it's clearly "political" in the sense that it involves something operated by the US government but not aligned with any extant political party or movement the way, say, 9/11 truthers are all within the anti-Bush...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    The important thing is that younger and more progressive people actually run. Trouble is, these days young and politically motivated people tend to keep their politicking to social media where it can be of maximum uselessness.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    I had already resigned myself to all the green-upgrade rebate programs going away after this year anyway. Replacing them with something worse is just a different way of achieving that.

    Starvation as a tool of control.

    Trump is what happens when every single person who was supposed to stop him and had the power to do so has been incentivized not to, for one reason or another. He's the Chernobyl of people.

    Welp, Trump is already threatening to withhold federal funding for New York for daring to elect Mamdani, and Congress is going further by threatening to deport him outright. New York newspapers, you have one job. Report this story with the giant headline "TRUMP TO CITY: DROP DEAD"

    I also find it more than a little self defeating for him to be posting these rants on a social network for racist uncles. Like yeah no duh he's getting pushback on them; he's doing the digital equivalent of staging a one-man protest in the middle of rural Texas.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    New York City might as well be its own independent city-state, as far as the world stage and especially its own citizens are concerned. Like you know the stereotype that Americans think of the US as the only country in existence on a map beyond the borders of which Here Be Monsters? New Yorkers...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    "Created one of the biggest food companies on the planet" is probably overselling it a bit considering Kraft just by itself used to be part of an even bigger one. I remember it was Kraft, Nabisco, Post Cereal, and like a dozen other things (which to be fair are all probably still part of one of...
