Why is this song about Barbie dolls this good? I've heard the Dua Lipa and Charli tracks too, they're going that hard for Barbie of all things.

Apple Card isn't even a thing in the UK, so I keep forgetting it exists.

I use AdGuard on my iPad, they're probably the best ad blocker for iOS. But yeah, uBlock Origin is the go-to everywhere else.

From a cursory look at the screenshots, tracking any games not on PC.

The publisher is Outright Games, who also published My Friend Peppa Pig and the Paw Patrol games (still weird seeing those on Steam ngl). It's probably going to be something along the lines of those. With the right writers, and Bluey is well-known for how well written it is, this could be good for families.

Pretty sure there was a thing like r/place but for streamers. So they're are ahead of ya there at least.

He lied about the plans for third party apps, he lied about Apollo, he called mods "landed gentry". Why should we trust him on this? The mods really need to really let go and turn their backs.

gotta sniff your Steam Deck's farts at least once

GOG is good if the game you want is on there. I got the ultimate edition of Fallout New Vegas for like £5. It was like £10-15 on Steam at the time. Great deal. The main issue is they're strictly anti-DRM for offline games so the bigger developers are less inclined to put their games on there, but whatever.

The way Epic handled competition was by strong-handing exclusives constantly without actually providing a better service. Last time I bought a game from Epic, it didn't even have a cart system to buy games in bulk. Couple that with the tolerance of cryptocurrency/blockchain and acquisitions of sites like Artstation and Bandcamp, and yeah - people have reasons to not like Epic. I've heard stories of people getting locked out of their banks because of the lack of a cart and they were buying a lot of games in a short amount of time. I've also heard stories about people's Epic accounts getting breached because of Fortnite BS.

And I'm saying this as someone who uses multiple launchers. I hated Steam back in the mid-2010s (skipped the middleman and bought GTAV from Rockstar directly) and they were in quite a bad rut with Steam Greenlight and the paid mods fiasco. People were rightfully loudly critical of Steam and at a time, Valve really did not deserve taking a 30% cut. They've done a lot since then to recoup that lost trust and deserve the 30% cut, Proton and the Steam Deck being a massive part of that for many people.

Now if only they did the same antitrust they did with Microsoft back in the day but targeting Google.
