    it’s supposed to connect ‘steam’ with ‘extremism’ instead of something like Twitter, Truth, or Fox to coincide with their recent ‘fact finding mission’

    Because it’s saying “leftists play video games, rightists play and watch sports” without saying it. Same with the “serially online” thing.

      Would love some MAGA to say this to me. Then I whip their ass in any game or sport they want to play. Gravy Seals can get balled on.

    I am telling you that there is proof video games effect people. Ever notice how most people born in the 80s grew up and all became plumbers? I mean sure all the competition has driven costs down for all of us and with just a little work you can find a plumber that will do the work for free, but a lot of these plumbers can no longer support their families and are forced to live in sewers and fight turtles for food.

      And the turtle with the stick is super OP compared to the rest.

      But all of them have trouble swimming around dams.

    The evangelicals supporting trump are responsible for the recent mastercard debacle to remove steam games. I wouldn’t be surprised if they start into a new wave “video games cause violence” bullshit.

    Also I thought the kid seemed fairly normal but him being a SoT sicko makes me wonder.

    To me what’s stupid is that they found nothing, as most of us would have expected going through a steam account, and yet they are “leaking” this information and what kind of bullshit narrative are they trying to push this time.

    Trying to back up RFK’s bullshit, disproven games caused mass shootings BS?

    That’s because 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who was charged earlier this week with murdering Kirk at a speaking event last week, reportedly used Donald Trump’s name as an alias on the Valve-owned gaming storefront at one point. Sources told Bloomberg the reference to the president is what led to the Secret Service’s involvement despite the Homeland Security agency having no role in protecting Kirk at the time of the assassination.

      1.) If you didn’t vote in '22 or '24 and legally had the ability to do so, you’re not a Liberal or Progress, full stop.

      2.) No Liberal or Progressive would want to be associated with Trump, even ironically for the “lols”.

        He bagged some transgender baddie and it turned a God-fearing conservative white boy into a radical sleeper cell leftist assasin. That’s why they are trying to keep us transgender girlies down…

          Sometimes the Stochastic Terrorism boomerangs.

          This is exactly what intelligent people have been saying for years would happen.

          Some MAGAt, primed for violence, finally figures out they’ve been lied to for 10 years & decided to put that penchant for violence to use.

          Both of Trump’s would-be assassins were registered Republicans.

          Yeah, if the published narrative is true this is a man who was taught by the right wing all their shit with guns and everything that came out of the militia movement through maga, then fell for a trans chick, and questioned the narrative but not the means then did what the right was amping up to do.

          The left was taught through extreme state retaliation and intense media spin that violent actions work against our goals outside very specific situations (waiting for them to attack first in ways the center is horrified by). Between cointelpro and the green scare we’ve more or less learned to keep to demonstrations that strive to build popular support. Meanwhile during that same time the right has been building armed compounds because they understand the double standards. After Waco the government was afraid to crack down on righr wing paramilitaries.

          The game was released for Nintendo 64 on August 31, 1999

          Well, gramps, every game mentioned in that article has mostly positive reviews on Steam. Have you considered that you’re just set in your ways and clinging to what you enjoyed last century? lol

            You aren’t actually defending Sea of Thieves are you?

            I know it got a bump when Skull and Bones crashed out the gate. But come on dude.

              I’ve never played it. But it looks like most people who did, liked it, especially considering that it’s much more likely for someone who hated it to leave a bad review, than it is for someone who likes it to leave a good one.

    Steam said I have 173.9 hours in Hollow Knight. Then I clicked play, clicked abort launch, and now it says 16.1 hours. The in-game display, which is actually accurate, shows 30.7 hours.

    It doesn’t count offline playtime (or at least it didn’t in the past). So most of my playtime for Half Life, Half Life 2, Celeste, Slime Rancher, and some others I played mostly while traveling is in invisible. Except people online say it’s still tracked for the refund policy lol. I suspect there might be a weird interaction with the case where the steam deck dies when a game is paused in sleep mode.

    Anyways not really related to the post I just wanted to rant about this because the time tracker is weird and kind of annoying
