You ruined my joke. I was going to say, "Antique guns, bought new."

I don't support the idea of games being exclusive to one platform or other, whether it be consoles or PC distributors, or kernel-level anti-cheat, and Epic has supported both of those. As far as I know, all consoles and distributors have had exclusives with their own games and while I don't like it I can see the argument for it. Pushing for third-party exclusives is a whole other level, in my opinion, and my general response is to just not play those games until they're more widespread. I don't have nearly as much gaming time as I'd like, so this is a limit that doesn't take that much effort on my part, and I'm sure some would say a stance without a sacrifice is a pointless gesture. But that's my stance. We all have to decide what is and isn't okay for us, and those are mine.

Oh, I get that, but Junk still sounds easier than trying to finagle Heroic to work through the standard game interface, rather than desktop mode. I've done it before, but anything that makes it easier is a win for me, and anything that streamlines using GOG instead of Steam is worth it to me, if only to add pressure to game publishers to avoid DRM.

For a few seconds, some of those planes had all their parts flying under the radar.

I haven't even looked at Epic because I don't want to have to deal with their stuff. Now I might reconsider it. And $6 to make my GOG games play like they're from Steam just sounds like a good idea.

My only hope is he can't stay focused enough to pick just one and starts a world War with no useful allies.

Well, I prefer to learn from other people's mistakes. I've avoided some of the common pitfalls, but hadn't realized the prevalence of this trick. I'll keep it in mind when I research my future purchases.

I have to say, wearing a cape at a Renn Faire with colder than expected weather and having my now wife and her friend snuggling under it for warmth felt pretty good.

And thermopiles.

Thanks for this. I've wanted to build a Type 10 afk for a while and just got the capability. This isn't quite what I have but it's reasonably close.

A l9t of people will. And a significant minority will not. Those people will make Afghanistan and Iraq look like a cakewalk, with the notable additions of a bunch of insurgents who can blend into their territory and share a huge border with them. The guerilla warfare won't be limited to Hamilton, it will spread across America.
