Honestly, i have no qualms with the original steam curator. All he did was point out that SBI was involved in the game or not. People have the right to buy or not buy a product for whatever reason. The curator and its group would have remained obscure and practically irrelevant if one SBI employee didn't call for harassment against Kabrutus on twitter. All they had to do was to let people quietly not buy games they were not interested in but they called for mob justice on the curator. And i can't help giving the gamer side just a tiny drop of legitimacy this time because every article on the whole debacle forgets that this is what sparked the fire.

Every other comment i read from people who own the Ally is how clunky windows is for the form factor or how a windows update broke stuff. I mean sure, there's going to be a few people who will buy it but i don't see any windows handheld as a true competitor to the Deck, at least not before it gets a true handheld mode.

Dead in the water until it has an OS optimized for gaming handhelds.

Disagree. As a casual LTT watcher i had no idea who Emily was until they said her former name. I'm sure there are others like me who don't keep up with the latest happenings in every youtube channel. There's no offense in providing extra information for clarity.

Same execs who think it's such a waste not adding $15 outfit DLC to BG3

I'm sure the engineers who made this know. And if they didn't, this is an article from 2018, they would have most certainly found out by now.

Every time i search for something nowadays, the first results i get are always AI-generated articles that regurgitate other articles in the least useful and uninformative way as possible in an effort to show you ads. Robosites (a word i just came up with) and SEO have ruined Google.

prefer the taskbar at the bottom of the screen

This is 90% of the reason i haven't upgraded to 11 yet. I want my taskbar vertically on the left damnit!

Definitely. Programmers and super users, tend to be the kind of people that want configurability and are able (and even enjoy) to figure out what they are trying to do by themselves. If they have a question or a problem, the solution is usually one search away. But that doesn't fly for the average person who wants the thing to work out of the box without having to dig into menus and settings.

Absolutely, if they wanted money from 3rd party apps, they'd have sane prices. The ridiculous API cost was done to effectively kill all other apps without saying they are killing all other apps.

The local co-op version of Untitled Goose Game is hillarious, highly recommended

I've heard people losing their google, thus their important gmail account, from using a VPN to buy a cheap subscription. Also heard that if you make a throwaway account just for that, if you ever log in with both accounts on the same machine, the two will be associated and banned together. So yeah, proceed at your own risk.
