    I was going to make a joke about how I wanted a Jurassic Park movie but with AI because this comic mimics the quote from Jeff goldblum. But then I remember that Westworld already exists

    This fixes it instantly every time for me. Ignore everybody else. When you get that cramp start moving your foot in the opposite direction pointing your toes towards your knee and stretch out the back of your ankle. Instant cramp relief everytime.

    If you have cramping often like this then maybe dedicate yourself to some hamstring stretches.









  • There, your logic breaks down when you say kids can then redeem the items for money within the same platform. First off, the very nature of making purchases on steam requires you to be 18 or have parental consent. Also people cannot exchange the goods on steam for USD only steam points. Steam points are not dollars and cannot be transferred back into USD or any other currency. You have to go through a third-party website to do that and valve has cracked down on those websites in the past. This is up to further legislation further up the pipe to curb this problem.

    Also, I want it to be clear to everybody reading this. That steam does require developers to list steam keys STEAM KEYS at the same price they sell them on steam. Developers can mint steam keys for free.

    You see this policy is in place because if someone were to start selling steam keys on a platform that wasn’t steam suddenly, steam will not see any profits off those disproportionate sales because they weren’t made on the platform. And once word gets out that it’s cheaper somewhere else nobody will buy it on steam. And then steam is then responsible for all bandwidth now and forever into perpetuity for all of those users downloads and updates.

    Many developers have actually tried this look up facepunch. They tried to sell steam keys outside of steam to get all the profit. They decided that it was ultimately worth the cost to just go through steam because hosting their own sales and refunds and support network for their game was too much. Even with the piggybacking off of steam’s bandwidth. By the way, facepunch is worth millions. Steam just provides a good fucking deal.

    If you wanted to have your own storefront that sold your game exclusively without steam keys. You could list it to whatever price you fucking wanted. Even if you were selling it on steam for more. But if you want the bandwidth and support network that comes with the steam deal, then you have to follow their terms of service. Go figure.

    Anyway, I’m done listing the obvious.



  • They aren’t supporting children gambling. Every game listed in lawsuit is rated M. They ask you your age before you buy these games and before you put in any payment information into steam. It’s not verified with an ID or anything but that is a whole nother can of worms in computing that will open up a box we do not want to open. Also, you can’t even fucking buy anything on steam without a debit card. Which by the way you need to be 18 to have unless you have parental consent.

    The solution here is more parenting. The solution here is to go after gambling culture as a whole. The solution here is to take down polymarket. The solution here is to make it so that gambling is not the main fucking commercial during our super bowl halftime.
