    You can take them outside, but they should be leashed.

    And I don’t know why you’re making a demand like that. Why is your attitude like this?

    If your usual reaction to finding out you’re doing something wrong is to demand a stranger change drastic things about your life to resolve a problem you’re causing, then it’s harder to have sympathy for the situation you described in your original post here given that we only have one side of the story.




  • On the hour, every hour, it’s a new sale! We’re calling it HH, for Happy Hour! Hail HH as the new best sale on any digital platform!

    Lots of big sales as games are being sold for 14.88 or 18.88…regardless of your local currency! What games will you find for these special prices? Surprises await!

    And knowing that it’s June, we take pride in the quality of our games. This is your last chance to buy some of these “rainbow-themed” games before we put them in the gas chamber vault for long-term archival!

    We’ve already tossed some insensitive games in there that glamorized hate against specific groups of people. We won’t be hosting the Wolfenstein series on our platform anymore. Taking a stand against hhate!


  • Search has been becoming smarter for years (decades?) by now.

    The problem is that search has been made to work with the “you know what I mean” factor… fixing spelling mistakes, considering different tenses or forms of words, including related words…

    Search became more friendly to the average non-technical user, but it became harder for users who know/knew how to search for exactly what they want.

    Other factors include…

    • Search Engine Optimization (SEO) where websites try to appear for as many searches as possible, occasionally regardless of relevance
    • Monetization of search, where people with SEO and a lot of money pay to be included in as many “relevant” searches as possible
    • AI incorporated into search by trying to find additional relevant pages
    • Search engines being reluctant to return zero (or few) results and padding the results with other things you “might be interested in”
    • Also, search trying to use what you “might be interested in” based on what they know about you/your account/your IP address/your location based on your IP range.
