You’re correct, the other commenter missed the “2 computers” part of your comment.

You can run multiple Steam games at the same time on the same PC, but not on different PCs.

That is, unless you take advantage of Steam’s “offline” mode. If you launch Steam in offline mode on the secondary computer, you’ll be able to play already-downloaded Steam games on that PC, while still being free to play Steam games normally on the primary computer.

However over time you notice some things. First, it doesn’t let you sit incorrectly (like with your leg folded under your butt). Second, you can sit in in for hours (covid work from home situation) and be perfectly fine. Third, after 3+ years of ownership, it’s immaculate.

This right here. People expect to sit in an expensive chair and get a soft, plush, “comfortable” feeling. No, that’s not what a quality chair is for. A quality chair’s purpose is to let you be 40 years old, sit in it for an 8 hour workday, and get up at the end of the day with zero back pain (at least, none from sitting in the chair).

I forget how uncomfortable chairs can be until I travel for work and have to sit in something else for a whole day.

I spent $300 and $400 for my two used ones.

A true quality office chair, like the Herman Miller Aeron, and not one of those awful “racing chair” game streamer pieces of junk.

Doesn’t even have to be brand new. I bought both of my Aerons used, and I think their manufacture dates are like 2008 and 2013. I’ve had them for many years, sat in the 2008 one every workday for the past 10 years, and it might as well still be new. I see no reason that I won’t sit in it for the next 10 years. I could have gone through a bunch of crappy Office Depot chairs in that span.

At what age do you tell boomer parents the truth about Christmas? That their daughter who moved away to the “bIg CiTy” so she could get an “eDuCaTiOn” and pursue a “CaReEr” and “dRiNk LaTtEs” is actually happy there, is not going to come home from Christmas, fall in love with the blue collar boy who never left town, and magically discover the rural housewife life is what she actually wanted all along?

There’s a reason it’s called “bodybuilding” and not “brainbuilding”.

At some point it will be too obvious. Instead of making it too big, have it scale back down, then back up, etc.

I like to bind. I like to be bound.

If the cop is a cute girl, then it becomes context-dependent.

“Faith-based” politics in a nutshell.

Pickup owners shit on the Honda Ridgeline and call it “not a truck”, meanwhile their big manly Rams and F-250s live their lives in pure “mall crawler” mode.

The Ridgeline just quietly outlasts all those trucks and does all the furniture hauling and jetski towing that a homeowner needs. And the in-bed trunk (with drain plug!) is a tailgating champ.

A cheap hot tub in the living room.

The Omega Man (1971) is exciting and misses the point even further.

Appropriate, as the star of that movie usually did too.

By buy bye

Maybe that’s the actual value they’re watching, did you ever think of that, Mr. Pessimist?

(Sorry, junior dev somewhere out there. I tried.)

It’s pretty much inevitable that people will cluster on a few larger, proven services.

Look at email. For most people, email is Gmail, or one of another small handful of giant services. But you can still get email from smaller providers, or run your own, and play ball with everyone else.

My Linux from Scratch install. It was built by a moron.

It wasn’t McDonald’s themselves that were scamming, it’s more like the trusted 3rd party they engaged to run the promotion had a bad actor that used his position to fix the game.

I don’t have much use for confident-sounding nonsense.
