They're not talking about the type of "forest clearing" here that constitutes cleaning up dry brush and dead leaves and trees and other kindling from the forest floor, they're talking about the literal removal of vast swaths of forest entirely.

Not only that, there's also Epic and GOG, which are actually direct competitors, they're just not as wildly popular as Steam. Probably this is because they haven't been around as long.

There's been literally dozens if not hundreds of official reports of [people complaining about being raped by aliens], including my own, and thus far humanity as a whole has done fuck-all about it other than call us all crazy. Your assertion seems quite flawed, though I commend your faith in your fellow species.

My guess is they're using heuristics on the actual browsing behavior to generate advertising metrics for sell to advertisers/vendors/affiliates or something like that, and the bots throw off the accuracy of the metrics and that discovery by a 3rd party they've got a contract with has just lost them a bunch of money behind the scenes.

This is a blatant lie. What the fuck is wrong with you lately? AMD and ATI before them have typically supported hardware for way longer than Nvidia ever has.

No, they will not sue a bunch of Slashdotters for posting graffiti. What they will probably do is sue a megacorp using their IP to drive traffic to its own product.

Working fine for me on the Steam Deck, maybe look it up on protondb.com and see if any of the command-line tweaks listed there are necessary for you.

Look those games up on protondb.com, they're all listed as working you might just need to switch to an older proton version or add a couple command-line arguments. Some of these are actually listed as working perfectly in proton 9 but if you have a fresh install you'll have to select proton 9 manually now since it's not the latest version.

I'm not sure if you were trying to be funny, but what I meant was that the Windows users are emotionally insecure, and they modded me down which is clear enough proof of that. Anyway they modded you down too, so we both look dumb now.

Well they modded me down, so that proves I'm right.

... from a bunch of insecure Windows users that this for some reason scares the piss out of.

Well I know there's actually no such thing you'd consider a credible citation from 30 years ago much less 3000 years ago, which lets you engage in magical thinking and just make up whatever you want to believe. Good job, you've figured out how to convince yourself you're never wrong about anything!

I don't need to provide citations. You'd just discount them as not credible anyway. But your evaluation is even less rational; you started with the conclusion you wanted to believe then worked backwards to find justifications that suit it, and they're even less credible if you are being objective, which you're not. Your line of reasoning has the exact flaws that you accuse "religious wingnuts" of having, except on top of that you're also wrong.

Heh, thanks. I was wondering where this horrendously poisonous line of misinformation was coming from. I didn't expect it to be that on-the-nose.

You think the Jews were originally Canaanites? You really don't know what the fuck you're talking about TBH.
