Or maybe she was butt ass ugly but everyone liked keeping their heads rather than insult a princess.

No woman known for being beautiful is nearly as strong as a strong man. Wrestling is very much a skill, but there’s a reason there’s so many weight classes. I wrestled for several years. Strength can overcome skill.

“she” didn’t capture men on the battlefield. She led an army. Big difference.

This story always seemed so outlandish to me, that I’m still convinced it isn’t actually the entire story. Like; the men were losing on purpose for some sort of political favor of sorts.

It really fucks with me when I plug in my steam deck to the TV and use my PS5 controller to play.

*socialism.

Also, it’s been no secret that if you compliment Trump he’ll be ready to garble your balls. He’s a simple old man.

Nice. This is my great uncles straight razor. He came from Germany and had a barbershop in the 1940’s around Kansas City, so it’s around 80 years old.

I’d rather not ruin a hobby by making it a job.

Newsweek is seriously trying to take a dry and completely humorless approach on this “story”

:-\

Well we’re all curious now…

That’s a convoluted answer for me. I hand sharpen knives and straight razors as a hobby. Been doing it for like 30 years and have several hundreds of dollars in diamond and wetstones. I doubt there’s 500 people in the country (US) that are better than I am at hand sharpening.

The convoluted part is that I could charge people to sharpen knives. I just don’t want to.

My home gaming PC is a ryzen 1500x and an Nvidia 1060 GPU. Old as hell but still runs most games.

Most people on steam probably have a rig with 4+ year old hardware, and after seeing what my little steam deck oled can do, id say the steam machine will be able to out perform any 4+ year old windows system when it comes to gaming.

Until I see it from an alternate source, I’m calling bullshit on this one. It sounds like bullshit.

Like … With yeast, or the dark arts?

Epic is in no position or standing to compete against valve. To be a monopoly, you have to actually own an overwhelming portion of the market you’re in.

How that going to work out? You refuse and then the military is the ones that decide if you were given an illegal order, or you were insubordinate?

I remember watching this, and then Duckman when I was a kid. Simpler times.

Epic dropped to try and compete. It doesn’t work the other way around.

Because epic isn’t the market leader, by a large margin.

He charged less than others and pays better than others.

Valve also can’t take much of a lower cut on game sales because their current cut is the market average and valve would get in legal trouble for monopoly practices and unfair competition because they’re already so much more popular than the few competitors they have. What Gabe could do is give money away and be like alteuistic.
