The resolution of that story is presented as Picard, a representative of Starfleet, genuinely expressing a desire to find a more permanent and real solution for Moriarty. Unfortunately as established by Lower Decks (and indeed hinted at in the second Moriarty episode itself) Starfleet is actually really, really bad at follow-through.

A lot of people seem to be misunderstanding OP's question and just suggesting places that offer free games.

OP is asking if there's any not shady way to get a game that's offered for free on Steam without DRM other than using the Steam client.

If the game is only available through Steam then unfortunately the answer is no. Depending on the nature of your objection to the Steam client there are some possible courses of action other than going somewhere sketchy though.

You could install it, download the game, copy it from the Steam install location, then uninstall Steam.

Alternatively keep a sandboxed Steam client installed in a VM to download the game which you extract from the VM.

Another option might be to just ask someone you know that does use Steam to download the game and send it to you.

I feel like there is detail missing here. I don't understand how he rescued all six people without also getting himself back. Did he go back out to look for a seventh person?

Were you intentionally trying to provide an example of what OP was taking about?

Costco doesn't give a shit about consumers. Costco cares about nurturing and communicating their brand, which is all about being pro-consumer.

You're not strictly wrong, and I understand that corporations are not anyone's friends, but the line between these two distinctions is vanishingly thin.

Yes.

O.P. used "Juggalo" as a derogatory term indicating a prejudiced and ill-informed person. The reply is in defence of ICP, and by extension Juggalos. Pointing out that they have made considerable strides in inclusivity.

Clearly making a thing that is already illegal double illegal will give the desired results.

If that were true they would've shut down long ago. Do you really think no one has tried to "put them on blast"?

I am unfamiliar with ICP's content so can't say exactly what is and isn't in there, but horrifically, yes, "going with the flow" can very much include sexualizing minors depending on what decade you're looking at.

For example, a now-infamous 1978 article in High Times.

CW: Gross sexualization of a minorThe article describes then 13 year old Brooke Shields as "the most perfect nymphette in all creation" and "a sultry mix of all-American virgin and nascent whore".

No disagreement at all there.

Falling back to insults when you can't provide a source isn't terribly convincing.

I can at least provide examples of them stating directly the opposite.

I use Adobe Premiere for editing, and one of the many fun ways that Adobe is kind of ass is that it just doesn’t work on Linux.

  • Luke, "My Linux Curse is NOT Over... But It's Getting BETTER - Pt.2 Linux 30 Day Challenge 2026", emphasis mine

Adobe is very clearly the party being blamed here, not linux.

Presumably you can point me to a specific video, since you seem so completely sure of it. I'm not scrubbing through potentially hours of footage to try to find something that I don't think exists.

As for your suggestion that he just reviews what he's paid to do, sure, that seems plausible. I'm not trying to argue that it's an impartial channel and people should be watching him. You certainly don't need to defend a decision to not watch it.

 

I, for one, am excited. Yasmine is the character I'm most looking forward to this season. Will come back and post my impressions after the trailer is live.

 

I made a post here a few days ago complaining about content all being elsewhere, which was nice to vent, but doesn't really help the situation. Now I've decided to be the change.

Let's actually talk a little. What games do you all play? Tell me what you like about them!

Personally I've always been big into Street Fighter. I enjoy almost any fighting game, but the SF series is the one that I have by far put the most time into. I'm having a blast with SF6, even if I am just a diamond rated scrub. :D

 

Just venting, but if you want to avoid Twitter it means missing out on easily 90% of FGC activity, and the remaining 10% is almost all Discord and Reddit.

RIP SRK.

 

I can't wait.
