Your own post disagrees with your statement that you don't care but okay.

I will never understand how EA went from the game company everyone knew and quoted with that "Its in the game!" slogan to a laughing stock and poster child of shitty studios.

Control is my favorite game of all-time so go ahead. If I have any feedback I'll call you on the Hotline. By the way, you see Darling anywhere recently? Gotta talk to him about that Dynamite song...

I love you so much

He acts like that because he's already on amphetamines. If you give him more then he'd overdose.

Give him more please.

Steelseries

Come on. Have some respect for yourself...

He says, owning a Steelseries mouse and a Steelseries keyboard that have never worked correctly which required the most mindnumbingly stupid conversations with a customer service team that couldn't find their own ass with a map and both hands tied behind their back.

Sort of rolling Daystrom into the community at the moment, or at least our discussions and what have you

Yep. Will never happen. It would require @Corgana, owner of Startrek.website, to stop letting @ValueSubtracted walk all over him. Corgana either simply doesn't care, has gotten too deep and doesn't want to deal with the fallout with Value, or simply has no spine. Everything could be changed but it revolves entirely around the behavior of Corgana and the decisions he will make. From everything that I've seen, he's a really good person who has a really good head on his shoulders. I don't know why he's decided to throw his chips in with a manipulative narcissist like ValueSubtracted.

Value has no power and, hilariously, zero value of his own. He does not contribute to the running of the site, he only contributes to posting. He has no involvement outside of reporting back to Corgana. Corgana, consequently, doesn't really post anything himself. If Corgana is relying entirely on Value to make the content then he's driving away all of the other people who want to engage because they would have to deal with the ineptitude, petty behavior, childish temper tantrums, abuse, lies, and manipulation of ValueSubtracted. However if he got rid of Value then the community would thrive under its own power because they wouldn't have to deal with the sporadic emotional freakouts of Value.

It would be funny if it wasn't so utterly pathetic.

The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth.

Some people fail that duty quite frequently.

Eyyyy! This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. They're from Newfoundland, where I'm also from! Always nice seeing GBS out in the wild.

Yep. I'm more atheist. I'll use whatever is most convenient for me and Linux has never fit that bill. Honestly I doubt it ever will.

Well, older versions of windows still exist so it would be years before put into the position of having to consider a subscription. Even then? I would rather that than Linux. There is literally nothing that Linux offers that I find outweighs the enormous downsides of the OS. Those being that very little of what I use/am interested in has any Linux support, Linux being needlessly complicated for the average/casual user, and it being such an enormous departure from windows that the time I'd have to spend learning the OS wouldn't be outweighed by benefits.

Listen, I appreciate all that but if anything? That makes me even less likely to use Linux. I don't want to use it because I said it is needlessly complex. Nothing about what you said dissuades me from that. If anything, it's made worse by the fact the system is even more complicated than I thought necessary.

Then there's convenience. You say that Linux Mint and such is for no hassle but then said that a bunch of stuff isn't Linux supported so you have to work around it with Wine. That's not convenient. Neither is having to do research on which version of Linux will fit my needs.

What I want is a system that does what I tell it to do, is streamlined, is intuitive, is simple and is universally supported. Linux doesn't meet a single one of those criteria for me. I'd say does what I tell it to, which it does, but only after I have to spend 5 minutes googling how to do it.

I appreciate the effort and information but you would actively have to pay me to use Linux.

Holy. Shit. The visuals of Polandball have gotten insanely crisp in comparison to the Microsoft Paint jank.
