I learned a decade or so ago, that you don't buy games on Steam until they're on sale. And that they ALWAYS have a sale. If you don't wanna wait, that's on you. Because you know they're gonna have a sale! Also, what someone else said earlier. Still not cheap enough for me.

This is kinda funny, but I lost interest almost as quickly as the kid. He disappears as the adults take over, and they try to call him back, but he clearly knows better.

Why is there an Onion in the logo?

I'm shocked at how much hate there is for MS selling to OEMs. I can't even believe there are that many OEMs responding to this thread. Most of the replies I've seen were from end users and the article doesn't say anything about them!

I've been drinking well water, unfiltered and untreated, for a couple decades. It's never caused a problem. I do live in a rural area, though. If I try the town water, it makes me ill. Literally. The chlorine they add does it to me every time. I'll take my water every day of the week. Oh...

Isn't this becuase 10 year old kid opened up his mom's locked phone with his face? Not very secure. https://hardforum.com/threads/watch-a-10-year-olds-face-unlock-his-moms-iphone-x.1948150/

They're similar to the couplings used in trucks for hydraulics. Some of them have been around for years. You didn't want to spill hydraulic fluid anywhere, so they've been pretty good. I think I've also seen them as part of brine systems on plow trucks, but I'm not certain about that. Been a...

I dunno why they bother with this type of survey. Most areas are served by a monopoly. It's not like we can choose to change our provider. Unless, of course, you'd like to go back to dial-up.

Prices in grocery stores factor in two things that most people forget about because they think they're so minor. Spoilage and Theft. They even have a nice nifty term for it. It varies by store, and location, but for one of the stores I worked for, the % was huge. Around 40% (of the price of...

I'm not sure what this configuration that everyone's talking about. I just loaded up a game I never played yesterday (just bought it in the Steam sale) and while the game was going, decided to use my controller. So I turned it on, and started playing. It worked just fine. Also, I found using...

I've been buying from them for a few years or so, too. The only problem I've ever had with the site was logging in one day. I used their CS links and straightened that out in a few hours. No complaints.

Thanks for pointing this out. It was what I was about to do. Not sure why they wanna change a basic premise like this.

I had my setting set to check for updates, but I'd install and download. I came home one day to find my computer rebooted, from sleeping, and having installed a bunch of updates I didn't ask it to. I now have Win10 upgrade waiting for me even though I have been declining those updates and...

It seems to me that no one is stupid enough to force this issue, so the company that made the box MUST be funded by an anti-piracy group so they could get the issue forced! And if it, by some miracle turns out to be legal, they can get their government hirelings to pass laws making it totally...

Another Scott Manley video! He did a whole bunch of Kerbal Space Program videos and he really helped quite a lot there, too. I could use the 360 here on HF, but when I went to YouTube, I couldn't.

At least one person has the facts on their side here. It's horrible comments like the original one that have helped keep hemp use out of the US for almost a century. The lies that industries spread back then made sure that a cheaper, better product, would not interfere with their profits, so...

I saw this on /. yesterday. It seems there's much that's missing. The FBI made it sound like everything in their report happened in one day all in the flight. It actually occurred over 4-5 years. However, the FBI has an agenda; to make this guy into a terrorist, even though some research may...

Everything I'm reading about 10 makes it out to be the new Vista. And there were still people out there that loved Vista, just as there are now people saying how wonderful 10 is now, even though Vista was even less used than 8, which is pretty bad.

I was thinking the same exact thing. I can't believe he wrote that whole thing and had no basis at all for what he said. There's a lot of pent up anger or something there, me thinks. He makes a strong case that no one should be allowed to drive because they don't think!

It may be better. I dunno. But it's not Lego, so what's the point?

The caveat is that all those episodes are locked and you need to pay to unlock them. You're given a 10 minute preview for free.

I haven't been an EA customer for years (ME2 was the last game I bought, 5 years ago) because of their 'customer service' attitudes, however I do not consider this bad. And those that are jumping down their throat for 5 activations a day aren't even TRYING to be reasonable. It's NO drm or the...

Aren't these the same exact services, at the same exact prices, that are already available on the PC? Why isn't there a story about that?

I've played every Fallout game there is starting with Black Isle Studios, when the games came out. I've put many hours into them. And on initial look, before I read this article or anything, I didn't think it was related to the Fallout Universe, because that would have had a totally different...

It's not a test, and it's not scanning or installing anything. You just verify your information and that's it. Some seriously deranged/paranoid people here.

The packages I received from Amazon this past year were mostly sent by UPS Surepost. UPS transfers packages to the local post office for the final delivery. This was done to save money since the post office is already making deliveries to your house anyway. They aren't the only company to do...

I didn't see anyone mention that this didn't take into account that more games are now being purchased now and never even played. People have libraries full of games that never see the light of day because they're all on sale in packages and people think "I'll get to it one day!' So they could...

I read, and think I comprehend, books/readers the same way I've always read them. I don't read little bits at a time, during commercials, like some people are talking about. I read chapters at a time, and am uncomfortable if I don't finish on a chapter. These days, I'm MUCH more...

Like a couple others here, I really liked the reboot. I've never liked Lara Croft games, though, and I actually avoided this one for a long time because I thought it was like the older ones. At least now I know there's a proper sequel lined up for the future.

I wonder if they'll be able to make it frictionless as well as so black. Might make an interesting spaceship to throw into a sun.

I liked B2, but I enjoyed B1 lots more, and have triple the hours in B1, which is pretty impressive since I have over 400 in B2. I had so much fun with B1, I bought it twice. Once in DVD and once on Steam. The bad guys in 1 were just so much more enjoyable for me. HJ was such a huge let...

Metacritic has been really hit and miss for me, and I've seen a couple games get swayed way too much by bad reviews. Or by review sites that are just paid to give good reviews by game companies. Additionally, when different versions of the game come out, the review doesn't change. A great...

I learned from my first job with computers one very simple thing. Management does not like spending money. PERIOD. No cavets on that at all! My boss at the time was still using MS-DOS when WinXP was right around the corner. He had no reason to want to upgrade, and every reason to want to...

The problem with the Steam stats is, people now buy games they know fully well they'll never even start, let alone finish, because of all the sales they have. The games are so cheap, you think, 'boy, one day when I actually have time, it would be great to play this! Maybe I'll do that when I...

I'm not sure what's up with the DX9 minimum, either. I read somewhere else DX11 was mandatory. On a sad note, my video card is the ONLY thing that meets minimum specs, and only because I recently upgraded it. The game looks flipping awesome, and I was looking forward to trying it out, but...

Subscribe and Save has nothing to do with Prime. They're separate programs. And they don't do that 2 day shipping, either. I have had items take a week to arrive with sub & save. Interesting, though, because my sub & save promotion is only 15%, for 5 items. And I am a Prime member. I've...

Not sure why helicopters and aircraft are flying below 400 feet, except around airports, which should still be restricted. Even with terrain following radar, the AF aircraft I used to fly on stayed at 500 feet. People hate this idea because it's new, different and they're afraid. Change happens.

"By not charging, we mean the Mozilla product must be without cost and its distribution (whether by download or other media) may not be subject to a fee, or tied to subscribing to or purchasing a service, or the collection of personal information." Sounds pretty clear to me. You can't even...

The linked article is actually pretty good. He did a good job of scamming the scammers to get more information on what was going on. Thanks for the link.

Stop feeding the trolls, and linking to articles that are clearly designed to troll! This article was clearly written to troll, and bring in traffic to a site for which I now have a much lower opinion.
