This chair is where all the snipers will be the first 5 hours of beta.

Next time you’re complaining about the price of lumber, remind yourself that the Home Depot does this by hand to every single 2x4 before putting stocking the shelves.
Defaulting to a white background on a website should be illegal, thrown directly into the ocean for it.

If an American company fires Americans and hires Indians to replace them, the CEO, board, and top shareholders of that company should all be publicly tried, convicted, and executed.
Steam should actually increase the refund window to 4 hours. There's a lot of games now with really long bullshit tutorials to pad those 2 hours.
be Mateo
- 23 years old
- solo game developer from Germany
- goes on vacation, tries paddle boating with his brother
- realizes how hard it actually is
- gets home, builds a physics-based coop paddle game around the idea
- ships the demo in 2 weeks
- releases the full game as "Paddle Paddle Paddle"
- game blows up
- sells over 150,000 units
- goes full-time as an indie dev
- named Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe 2026
should be a total win
- 90% positive reviews
- game clearly works, clearly isn't broken
but the game is short, tight, and easy to finish fast
- 55,000 refunds
- 21% refund rate
- $164,000 clawed back at $2.99 a copy
not because it's bad
because Steam's refund window has a blind spot
- less than 2 hours played, 14 days since purchase
- instant refund, no questions asked
- built to protect buyers from broken games
- can't tell "this didn't work" from "I beat this and want my money back"
this exact exploit already happened in 2021
- different indie dev, Emika Games, hit the same wall
- nearly quit the industry over it
Valve still hasn't fixed it
- posts about it publicly, gets support from the community
- keeps developing anyway
- already teasing his next game, a coop voice-controlled chaos game called CAAAHR
went from a shower thought on vacation to 150,000 units sold to a six-figure hole in his pocket, all from the same industry that put him on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list
A lot of mfers learned the phrase "bechdel test" and conveniently only apply it to one show when they are really excited for Tensura every week. There isn't a single scene anywhere in that world where they aren't glazing rimaru.

At this point an American invasion of Britain would be a thousand times more justified than any military action we've taken in my lifetime.
You are telling me they are throwing a combat tournament for the kings birthday with no jousting? Why even pay taxes?

I do not understand westoids who want anime to move away from weird degenerate fanservice.
You already have that. That's what cartoons are for. You stopped consuming them because they sucked ass.
