Like hell I do. He deserves all the shit coming for him.


Fingers crossed for you. :)


Did it verify with today’s change? (I think it was today, that when I started seeing the new page.) I’d trigger the age verify every so often in case my debit card finally worked.


Pretty much everyone I know had a rant at steam for the age gate. Felt bad for the support people, but felt toasty for the heat steam was getting.
Welcome and other happy words.
Another reason to switch: lower blood pressure.
They came out only a year apart, (Cyberpunk in 88, Shadowrun in 89) Not so much ripoff as convergent evolution of ideas, and one group was a bit slower out of the gate.
Shadowrun for me as well. Never got to play 4E, I moved continents and lost my group. :(
(And yes we made fun of Cyberpunk players every chance we got. They hated us for it. Good fun!)


Not in the same sense as North America. We have debit cards tied to bank accounts with a similar functionality as a credit card, but they often don’t work at a negative balance. No one I know has a debit card that functions the same as a North American credit card. (I’m a Canadian living in Australia.)
I have a MasterCard debit card, but it doesn’t work as an age verification for Steam.
And then it would finally connect, and your sibling would pick up the phone and start dialling…
Aaaaaaargh!
I remember way, way back in the days of dialup a very tech savvy friend had emailed me 20+ files, because I was the only one capable of stitching an image together. Took forever (days?) to download the files, and I had to redownload more than once due to roommates doing fun stuff like picking up the other phone line… (It was of his truck after hitting a moose.) Of course, I didn’t get to see the image until he got home, I had a Hercules monitor, he had a fancy one that did actual graphics.
I’d gotten so used to crashes that started with a lockup under windows, leading to my poor char’s death, or save corruption…
The freeze and then resume feels like winning the lottery. :D
I’m closing on my six months anniversary of not booting into windows. I wish I had converted earlier as well.
Not having to deal with the whack a mole of problems that was windows is so very lovely.
A few ongoing bothersome problems that honestly amuse me, and I’m far less stressed when something does go wrong that I can’t fix.
Haven’t had a game (so far) that I couldn’t get running, and really only miss one program that I could probably run under Linux if I really wanted to get dirty.
One ongoing problem for some of my games and it’s so random that after spending an hour trying to fix it I decided I didn’t care enough, because I wasn’t having the crashes I used to under windows. (The game freezes, and will stay stuck until having tabbed out to Steam (and only Stream), tabbing to anything else the game stays hung. Then some process comes along that I don’t see, frees everything and I’m back to playing happily.)


Missed ‘no simps’ but I guess that was on purpose.


Apologies aren’t a fucking if/then function.


There’s a rainbow painted on a roundabout where I live, and to hear my craft group tell it, this rainbow of the gays was going to kill people. Money should have gone to something useful. (In a shopping filled with art and allowed graffiti.)
Realising how LGBTQ+phobic they were I don’t talk to them anymore, and the rainbow roundabout is still there.
The rainbow makes us giggle, it’s very out of place and lovely.
(I miss having friends to craft with, but I don’t miss socializing with people who think those I love are the worst evil simply for existing. Fuck them.)
A few months earlier another driver of the same make/model/year had their vehicle lose power on a busy highway, and the crash was ugly. They ended up putting a new transmission in mine. It did fix the problem, but it wasn’t the end of trouble with that vehicle.
Nooooooooooo!
Goddamn I hate that light. My last car it was on constantly and the shop I went to was useless at fixing it (under warranty). Then it went off, and I was happy.
Until The car lost the ability to go above 20km/h - and I was on a highway going 100km/h (and 100km from anywhere) when things cut out.


Annoying as anything. I don’t have a credit card, and I am WELL over 18. Locked out from games I’d planned for purchase and Steam is just shrugging and saying they are following govt rules, and there is no other way to age verify. Not even close to being accessible and fair


“its TVs do not continuously record or transmit users’ conversations”
Because we all know voice activation isn’t a thing…
It’s not continuous if certain things have to happen for it to start…
Nah, we have blue or purple hair to hide the the brassy tones our hair gets when reach oldness, but getting the tint result neutral is harder than expected. Less so these days, and some hair types or damaged hair grabs the rinse much stronger than others.
