Created an account just to make it too.

I think it's the same one person, they love to erase their messages once their account is burned.

Sounds like something a psychopath would say.


When you try and pass mental illness off as teleportation. It's called dissociation, Gregg.


TIL Tucker Carlson was mauled by a daemon.

Another gem: https://rmitz.org/freebsd.daemon.html


Tucker Carlson quite clearly just had a sleep paralysis [1]. I had one too. Scared the shit out of me when it happened. Since you can't move or breath and the hallucination of a robed figure sitting on top of you is really vivid. Quite interesting the human brain chooses to conjecture a hallucination which is about the same for everyone who experiences it.

I only (rarely) get it in the morning, right before I'm about to fully wake up. I always panic because I'm desperate to move on my own, even though I know I shouldn't. But I've never seen a demon or anything, just my room – though it's an imagined version because my eyes aren't actually open yet, and usually when I wake up the room and lighting look quite different.


When I get sleep paralysis, I either see shadows or aliens (the typical Hollywood grey ones with big heads) surrounding my bed.


Greys for me too, thanks to tv shows about abduction on tv as a kid no doubt


You are correct. Steam was actively bad at launch when it only had Valve games on it. And they fixed the platform and then started allowing other devs to put their games on it.

EGS is currently bad and trying to position themselves as a Steam alternative when they simply are not even close to the same quality.


If this were true than Epic would have eaten Steam's lunch.


or network effects are keeping people on a worse platform?


That's a weird way of saying "lack of competition". As others have mentioned, why should Epic Games bother supporting Linux?

Considering that I'm gaming on Linux, the number of competitors is pretty small and close to zero, I'm not sure why I should be forced to switch operating systems to support the "better platform".

I say this as someone who's been running Vortex/Skyrim modding on Linux years before there was official support for it and I'm kind of shocked honestly to hear that people are cheering for something I did so long ago (5 years to be precise) I hardly remember the time doing it.


Epic gave away 662 Million free games in 2025 alone. They pay the game devs for each copy they give away. They've been doing this for 8+ years.

In addition they've payed other game devs for Epic Game Store exclusivity so games would be available for 1 year before being released on Steam.

The whole company has been mismanaged into the side of a mountain.


I still don't know which is stupider: this, or Unity buying Weta.


Since when do people refer to game playing as usage?


I was hoping it would be Steve "The Colonel" Cropper

Didn't Kevin Rose re-acquire Digg in the last year or so?


He and Alexis Ohanian (co-founder of Reddit) went in on it together.


Yes, he did. Now he's gonna be the full-time CEO according to this.
