Steam's UI has been a mess but Epic is garbage in comparison. It took Epic three years to support buying more than one game at a time. Unless things have changed recently, they're nowhere near Steam when it comes to basic function

They don't believe they're celebrating cruelty, and most are unlikely to acknowledge it as such. Invade Iraq? "Justified" revenge for a guy from Saudi Arabia attacking a building. Torture a random dude grabbed from the m

Two charitable readings would be that the author is either: * Suggesting Steam is a platform like any other, and therefore likely to experience the same process. * Critical of the quality of some of the titles released on the platform. Stea

Is there some point you're trying to make or are you just being needlessly pedantic? The 2016 Macbook Air[0] was not the first in the series. The lack of ports was controversial due to it differing from the previous 2015 model[1]. [0]

People keep repeating this but how frequently do USB C ports actually break? Anecdotally, I had horrendous issues with mini USB but I've never had a micro USB or USB C port break. I'm not particularly gentle with them either, I&#x

IIRC not all apple devices charge with lightning cables. Even users entirely bought in to their ecosystem are forced to carry multiple types.

I'm a cloud proponent because it means not having to sit through hours of meetings to deploy a $5/mo virtual machine. It also means some poor fuck at AWS gets woken up in the middle of the night instead of me when things go to shi

These are pretty subjective but: * Angular classes just feel a lot more verbose/messy than the equivalent functional implementation in React. * Perhaps it's just familiarity but I have a much easier time understanding what a funct
