  • So, ok.

    1. They introduced exclusivity requiring people to use their storefront. So some would argue that Steam did that first… though only with games they made. This in of itself may not normally be that big a deal… if they didn’t rug pull customers of a few anticipated games into thinking they were getting steam keys because they were advertised as being on steam.
    2. The EGS is still not feature complete. This goes hand in hand with problem one. The exclusivity bars the “”free market”” from making a choice as to which platform is better. And the ceo blatantly said that he did not care about trying to make a good store front, he could just force people into a worse system with exclusivity.
    3. The EGS was against the very idea of a refund policy. Its owners were very very loud about it. As a matter of fact the ceo himself has caused a lot of the hate for the EGS though they have since given up and i think they match steam now.
    4. The actual user interface and customer service are terrible. In contrast steam has been outstanding in its implementation
    5. EGS did not initially allow user reviews, and wile i hear that there is some form of it now, they take a much less open approach to silencing dissent. As opposed to stream who still keeps dissent, but will give context to the scoring.

    The EHS has given up on most of its open disdain for the consumer, but it apparently is going to take a lot more than a few years and free games to win over the crowd. And i personally REFUSE to have competing launchers on my system, and stream has the best good will with me by such a long shot, i don’t see how it would be remotely possible to get me to consider adding EGS.


  • Um… yea? It’s not supposed to? Let’s ignore how dangerous and foolish it would be to allow llm’s admin control of a system. The thing that prevents it from doing that is well, the llm has no mechanism to do that. The best it could do is ask you to open a command line and give you some code to put in. Its kinda like asking siri to preheat your oven. It didn’t have access to your ovens system.

    You COULD get a digital only stove, and the llm could be changed to give it to reach out side itself, but its not there yet, and with how much siri miss interprets things, there would be a lot more fires




  • For me i went with WraithGear because i personally feel that i am not here, or real, that i am just piloting my corpse around. It crossed with my thoughts on gaming due to making an xbox account and all, and i have a framed art cell of metal gear acid on my desk, and it all kinda clicked. Its gear as in metal ‘gear’ more so then a cog.


  • Its a world where the clean up of souls is differed to designated souls who for one reason or another can’t pass on. These souls are given a new body and are assigned to a cell to replace the one who reaped them. They are told a location, a time, and a name. And have to find the person about to die and pull the soul out before they are killed, else the soul brings the trama of death over with them. In the protagonists case she is put in the “freak accident death” group. Which reap people who are indirectly killed by demons mostly. It’s forbidden to reach out to your family for obvious reasons, but due to her mother HATING the word “moist” and considering it a sex slur, she leaves behind a message saying just that and the mother instantly catches on.












  • So a standard cable needs to be chipped to show its rating to the device, its not that the device can pull what it wants or can get, but the cable itself tells it what it can supply. Extension cables can’t do that, because it doesn’t know what it’s plugged into, and that would be if they even bothered to put a chip in. They instead piggy back off the chip for the main cable. The problem comes when you you have a 240 watt cable hooked up to a cheap 120 watt cable, with the device being told it can push 240, and starts to super heat the extension cable
