  1. Buying through Steam

    I don't really make much use of their tag system as when I have tried searching the store by tag it didn't really provide me with what I was looking for at all. For the same reason I wouldn't use the tag exclusion option, as I have no doubt it would exclude games which I don't associate with the...

  2. Buying through Steam

    I think it is different problems that the two are facing. Although when it comes to Steam I do think it is made a lot more difficult by the size of the library. This could have been mitigated if they hadn't just given up on curation. It is most likely a case of not being able to put the genie...

  3. Buying through Steam

    Yes! I think the only problem they had in their initial days was the difficulty of good indie games getting onto their service. But I am pretty sure this was an industry wide shortcoming. It definitely is a little sad. Although if you know what you are wanting you can avoid all of the junk. It...

  4. Buying through Steam

    It also isn't helped by the way they are now oversaturated with trash games. It used to be way easier to browse through their specials and game catalogues. But now I barely even bother. Nowadays I might briefly look at their home pages of their store and sales but that is about it. I think most...

  5. Right wing Hindu nationalism, Indian cricket and hate filled tweets

    Right wing Hindu nationalism has been the dominant political force in Indian state politics for decades now and has routinely seen punitive actions being taken against members of ethnic and religious minorities. Even the sport of cricket, which is a widely followed and loved sport over in India...

  6. Buying through Steam

    When it comes to PC games, I own way more games on Steam than any other platform. I think the next one would be Galaxy. My PC doesn't even have a disc drive so physical games are meaningless for it. I probably won't ever bother getting one either as I have consoles if I want to watch physical...

  7. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    Like I have already mentioned the amount of genders present in society shows cross cultural and historical variation. On the contrary, gender is quite possibly one of the most demonstrative facts of the sociocultural influencing the way we perceive and understand reality. Quite often the way...

  8. Minimum Wage

    To be fair to me, the country I live in is way smaller than the US. We are roughly the size of Colorado in terms of landmass. So the variance in our living costs is not as high as I imagine it would be over there. So while I do stand by my stance of pushing for living wages, I also recognize...

  9. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    It is more complicated than that. We don't experience reality unmediated. Our cultures go a long way in influencing the way we perceive and understand reality. It isn't a matter of wishing something to be a certain way. This simply is the way people are. The existence of cross-cultural and...

  10. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    Every culture believes that they are interpreting reality as it is. That is how cultures work by normalizing their beliefs and values. This is especially the case with gender. The world has seen a vast quantity of different cultures, we have also seen cultures changing through the passage of...

  11. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    So you are saying there is no relationship between the biological and the sociocultural? Except for the fact that it literally has shown cross cultural and historical variation. The way people understand and perceive genders has varied across cultures and throughout history. Your culture...

  12. Nations report card indicates worst decline in math and reading scores in decades.

    Since I was only verifying what timeframe the declines were dealing with, I simply followed the OP's link. Here is the actual report https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/highlights/ltt/2022/ The most discouraging part of the report is in how those students who were already struggling suffered the...

  13. How Rare Is Your Personality?

    I think ESTJ is pretty rare, something like 9% of the general population are ESTJ. You are the first that I have come across. At least that I know of. Although my circles are pretty closed off.

  14. Is Android better than iOS?

    I can't really compare the two at all since the only smart phones I have owned have all been Android. I can't see myself ever straying away from Android either as I have generally been quite happy with my phones.

  15. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    No, you actually didn't. I am wanting to know what you think the relationship is between biology and the sociocultural. It does, the way we conceive of the relationship between biological and sociocultural realms goes a long way towards shaping what is and isn't possible. Gender isn't a...

  16. Nations report card indicates worst decline in math and reading scores in decades.

    The timeframe for this decline was during the global pandemic. I am not surprised that they showed such a drastic drop then. I would have been surprised if it was anything other than this which resulted from the circumstances we are in right now. I do agree that it is tragic and more needs to be...

  17. QUESTION OF THE DAY: IS IT TIME FOR CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE?

    Yes, I agree with the principle of civil disobedience. Unjust and immoral laws or policies should not be followed or respected. Being just requires illegal activity at times. It makes no difference whether the source of the injustice is from the public or private realms.

  18. Minimum Wage

    Definitely agree that the minimum wage is too low, as you mention it hasn't kept pace with inflation at all. The minimum wage should be a living wage. Something we are close to here in New Zealand but we are not quite there. Our minimum wage is $21.20 whereas living wage is $23.65. That is NZD...

  19. Last Game Played

    I had only played through 5 the one time and this was the PS1 version of it. To be honest I didn't think it was all that memorable. Playing through it a second time I am enjoying it a lot more than I expected. I think I had undervalued it previously and am glad I am replaying it. I still need to...

  20. Disney creates satanic cartoons for children

    Simply being on their streaming service does not mean that they are targeting it at kids. Why do you think they added parental controls to their streaming service? They have a new CEO and are expanding into other demographics now. Considering the vast scope of the Disney empire and all the IPs...
