The shop has a page where it tells you how many you’ve spent as well.

If your account is less than about 5 years old (and you live in the US) you can also just look at the points shop. Each Steam Point corresponds to one cent spent on Steam.

That’s called an asset flip, and they are rightfully mocked.

Charging while undocked and using the built in stand.

Never heard of that, I assume it’s an emulator. Emulation is different from running a game natively. Yeah, Nintendo probably could get AMD hardware to work as a replacement for Nvidia hardware, but I would guess either compatibility would be imperfect, there would be a performance hit, or both.

There is the used games market, if you are willing to engage with it, though that does need you to be really patient.

Backwards compatibility means they might not be able to talk to AMD unfortunately, depending on how the software is set up I’d assume.

That would work if serial numbers weren’t visible without even opening the box the device came in, and I’m they are even included on the receipt for the device. Scalpers would absolutely have a ton of serial numbers just lying around from unsold devices, or even devices they sold and just hope the owner of won’t bother attempting a purchase of the thing they are scalping.

That’s a fine solution long term I guess, but things take time to be made.

Can you think of a better way to keep it mostly out of the hands of scalpers?

I suspect it’s more that the time people can and do spend playing phone games has just about zero overlap with PC games. You play phone games while on the bus or on the toilet, you play PC games while at home behind your desk.

My stance on fixing the debt has long been that the only answer is to invest in robust social programs. Such social programs pretty much always increase economic activity, which the government gets to collect taxes on every step of the way. Of course that only works if such investment exists and the government is willing to collect those taxes, neither of which seem to be the case anymore.

Nope, it was so they could take the 30% cut of every penny that is spent on one of their platforms, and also so that it would be extremely inconvenient to leave their ecosystem since doing so would mean leaving behind most of your data.

See, I’d have said George Santos is the poster child for that.

How do you think Tucker Carlson avoided getting sued off the air for as long as he did?

It might not be called aphantasia since it isn’t for sight, but yeah it exists, I have it for taste and smell.

Wonderful idea, I can’t wait for a third Obama term.

Florida allows felons to vote if the state the felony conviction occurred in allows felons to vote. New York allows felons to vote, thus Florida allows him to vote.

I assume the rich neighborhoods will have already have had their pipes replaced, in which case it would only be those people who are affected. Not that I have anything to back that suspicion up.

Be called out for saying something controversial best I can tell, the term I think originated on Twitter to refer to a comment getting a lot more retweets than likes.
