While technically possible it's far more likely you were using ICQ or IRC back in the 90s. I had MSN when it launched in 99 and no one else was using it.

Salvador may be dangerous and dirty and the hills incredibly steep, but at least

But at least what?

Having lived there for almost a decade: It's hot all year round, which sounds like a good thing but it gets tiresome very quickly. It is very dangerous and dirty, but it is pretty and the food is one of the best I've tried in my life, although I think it's not for everyone.

Why? Tourism brings money, taking money away from Russia and bring it to Europe who in turn use it to support Ukraine seems like a win for me.

I'm 100% in favor of blocking money flowing the wrong way, for example by preventing banks from making such transactions or increasing taxes to certain things (e.g. here in Spain property taxes are much higher if you live abroad, increasing them further for Russians would prevent money from being drained that way). But if Russians wish to indirectly support Ukraine I see it as a win.

It could be Linux exclusive, which for most people outside of the Linux bubble is what PC means. That being said I doubt Valve would do that.

THANK YOU, I always feel I'm the only one who acknowledges that. Don't get me wrong, I like T2, but it completely broke what was established in T1. I do understand why, you can only do that twist once, after the audience knows time is a loop you can't add meaningful stories because there are no stakes. But it's still annoying, that they undid one of the major things of the first movie.

What? So in your head Valve has to be okay with companies using their infrastructure for everything while selling the main access elsewhere just because it's a bad idea not to have your game in Steam?

Look, if this had been a "you can't sell the same thing cheaper elsewhere or we delist you" kind of deal I would agree it's using their power to dictate price. But from what that other commenter said this was the other company selling a cheap launcher on Steam and then selling in-game content for everything inside it. So try were making Valve pay the price to host the full game but only selling some content of it on their store. It's like saying Epic launcher were to be sold on Steam (except even worse, because it's a launcher that contains the full game thus forcing Valve to foot the bill for hosting/downloads while the other company takes the profit for the game sale).

It's a game that you liked that most people didn't, Sleeping Dogs was very well received so I don't think it qualifies.

Huh, that one was different for me, it was:

Un elefante, se columpiaba(n), sobre la tela de una araña

Como veía, que resistía, fue(ron) a llamar a otro elefante

Dos elefantes...

You reminded me of this:

That's probably old stock, everyplace here and where she lives has it at 30% more expensive than the Deck. Thanks for the info anyways.

You're correct, I misread as "you can't overpower technique" to mean good technique triumphs over brute strength. Yeah, her technique was good, I just stood up, she weighs less than half my body weight so no technique needed.
