Definitely more user friendly than Itch. Search filters are downright frustrating on Itch.

Never even heard of Game Jolt, so it can’t be that good or useful.

It’s not about Steam and Valve being beyond reproach for criticism. It’s that posts like OP are incredibly hyperbolic.

Steam is genuinely a good service, at least for now, for as long as the current people in charge stay in charge. And because they’re such a good service they have become the number one place where people look for games.

This attracts the occasional person like OP who tries really… really hard to make Valve look evil. And not just random people either, other platforms who either don’t have the resources, or don’t want to spend the resources, to make a service that can actually compete with Steam try to make Valve look like a villain too.

Claims that seems true on the surface, but are otherwise false (i.e. Valve has a monopoly), cases that are misrepresented (i.e. The case with Wolfire Games), or criticisms directed at Valve that aren’t specific to Valve or Steam (i.e. You don’t actually own your games) are often the go-to topics of posts like OP, and have been repeated hundreds of times (and debunked). At this point people are just sick of seeing it and will downvote on sight.

Yeah, because just mentioning someone using civilians as a shield is on its own bad enough. Anyone with half a brain cell would understand that’s bad without the need for specifically pointing it out.

Pretty sure, historically, they were also pretty powerful. I remember at one point reading about several nations that had serious issues with horse archers. A ranged unit of constant mobility, of course they’d be difficult to deal with.

How effective they are does depend on what kind of game you’re playing, however.

In Age of Empires II horse archers are only really good in those civilisations that have adequate research for them. And then it requires a good deal of player skill to micro the units to make use of their enhanced mobility.

In Mount and Blade Bannerlord it all depends on terrain. Horse archers are deadly on any sort of open terrain, but introduce trees or even a mild amount of rockiness and those horse archers are in a serious disadvantage.

It fascinates me how far we’re progressing in medical science. Never expected to ever see news like cures for HIV, tumours, and diabetes in my lifetime.

We are 8 billion people on Earth, and rising.

I am insulted by your lack of culture.

Pretty sure “and others” is doing a lot of work here.

And since we’re dropping the civil language; you can fuck right off, you art defiler worshipping cunt. Maybe there’s a warm spot in the jail cell next to these idiots.

Climate change is a subject that has never left the spotlight. It’s more in the spotlight than ever, no thanks to Just Stop Oil. These guys are contributing absolutely nothing.

Right, I see you must have trouble reading.

There is no connection. That’s why it’s stupid.

Right, because we’re all talking about how greatly effective they are.

So delusional it’s actually the reality of the situation.

Tell me, how many oil companies have stopped doing oil since these started throwing soup?

Well, she inhereted all that money, right? Maybe… Juuuust maybe she could spend it on nuclear or green energy production technologies.

“Raising awareness” and “things happening” aren’t the same thing.

Due diligence goes both ways.

No. Oil companies could manipulate people like these to make activism look bad, by, for example, doing really dumb stints like these.

Investing in nuclear would help.

Throwing soup in art galleries is worse than doing nothing.
