You mean the game devs that they take 30% from in a contract the devs agree to in order to list their game on the largest PC gaming store?

Besides that, steam has an incredibly low financial requirement to start selling your games on their platform. $100 usd per game (at least in the US) and you get it back if your game sells enough copies (100 maybe? I forget tbh.) It's a great platform for indie devs which is why we've seen indie PC gaming boom so much in the past decade or so especially.

From what I understand it's fairly common in engineering, but less of a forget everything you learned and more of a that’s all gonna be pretty much useless in the context of the specific job you're doing so just pay attention to the training

I've seen so many arguments where both sides claim the other is arguing in bad faith tho

Owls (owl pellets) or even snakes and lizards would probs be more accurate imo

Friendly reminder that Rittenhouse got off because it was 'self-defense'

I don't understand why you felt the need to comment this or why others felt the need to upvote it. What is your purpose?

1/2 the world population has herpes and like 1/10 in the US. It's literally just a painful rash and the outbreaks can be treated.

The fact that it's easily cured with antibiotics should tho!!

All opinions are statements, dumbass.

I like cheese

Both a statement and an opinion. Him saying it is the worst feature, since worst is ranking with 'goodness' and is therefore subjective, makes it an opinion in his comment. If you're gonna be a pedantic ass at least be right about it.

"Since the definition of a sentence in Standard English is a construction consisting of a subject noun phrase and a predicate verb phrase, by definition, the answer is that you can't have a verbless sentence, even short ones: Ice melts, Ducks quack, Winter sucks, etc.— a main verb has to be there."

Fragments can still convey a complete thought without being a sentence: eg "Go!", "Scalpel!", "So far, so good.", etc.

The title in question was especially bad as it didn't make sense due to the omitted verb, but still had the structure of a standard sentence, making it even harder to interpret. I am a native English speaker which is why I remember every grammar lesson from pre-k through college saying that a sentence needs to have both a subject and a verb. Sometimes, the subject is implied, like in an imperative sentence, but that's the exception, not the rule.

And I'm not trying to be a total stickler abt grammar just for the sake of it, but because it is actively poisoning readability and we shouldn't be rewarding it whether malicious as another commenter had suggested or just out of laziness. There's no effect that the writer here is achieving by cutting the words the were cut.

I'll also add that that wikipedia article uses that 'Jones Winner' thing, but it would be much less ambiguous to just say 'Jones Wins' and so you shoud pretty much always use the second. If this headline wanted to eliminate unnecessary words to minimize wordcount or something, they could easily have taken out their superfluous adjectives rather than the verb which severely hindered readability.

Something I did like about the other place was the communities for localities, and while I doubt we've hit that type of critical mass yet I figured I'd shoot since I'm in a pretty big city: anybody else live in Brooklyn or elsewhere in the greater NYC area? I'll understand if this gets removed, just couldn't think of a better place to try it.
