George Michael just died, he was 53.

I would say,"Suck it 2016" but somehow, this doesn't seem...quite right to say *cough*.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich praised the style and substance of Donald Trump’s suggestion for a new nuclear arms race, calling the president-elect’s use of Twitter to make major policy pronouncements “brilliant.”

Gingrich, an informal Trump adviser, told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace that the longstanding U.S. policy of reducing the number of its nuclear weapons has “failed.” He claimed that it has enabled former Cold War foes China, North Korea and Russia to rebuild or expand their capacities.

Trump tweeted on Thursday that the U.S. “must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes.”

“Let it be an arms race,” Trump said. “We will outmatch them at every pass. And outlast them all.”

Yes, Steam is down for everyone

That was posted an hour ago. It's 12:30 EST here atm and it's still down.

Probably a DDOS by some kiddies upset that their favorite game wasn't 90% off.

Are you sure you don't want to blame the Russians?

I didn't mention the kiddie's nationality...

So Australian Steam users don't have the same refund policy that we have in North America?

HoSpanky wrote on Dec 23, 2016, 13:03:
Ok, but how long are the refunds supposed to be allowed for? Did Australia not get the 2 hour/2 weeks thing that US has with Steam?

Ignoring a major issue like this is just not like Apple.

Although I have a lot of respect for GOG, I don't think I would back this. I've been burned by a lot of Steam Greenlight games and recently by a couple of EA games sponsored by Greenmangaming. Before that, Star Citizen, Shroud of the Avatar, ArcheAge, Mechwarrior Online to name a few. I'm DONE backing EA/Kickstarter games. I've been burned a few too many times and I only have cold cynicism left in my heart for them.

So by this she means run a crowdfunding drive for a couple of million bucks and then just absconds with the money? That sound about the size of it?

And VW finds this pretty funny because after Jan 20th it'll all disappear. It's carte blanche for the corporations for the next 4 years in America. Welcome back to the gilded age of the robber barons.

What money has Brianna Wu kickstarted and absconded with? Her crappy game only generated $13k, and it's been released, so...

But this is the kind of sloppy, irrational hate I expect. Plenty of reasons to dislike Wu, who is perfectly dislikeable on her own, but people keep feeling the need to invent new ones.

[... Trump got less votes than McCain or Romney.

Not true... Official totals from CNN's website:
Hillary:65,788,583
Trump: 62,955,363
Romney: 60,771,703
McCain: 58,343,671

results from CNN:
Obama: 65,455,010
Obama: 66,882,230

While we're at it, can someone explain the meaning of LandSlide to the orange twitter troll.

He would have said that if he won by a 1/2 an electorate that is how he explains most things, all extreme. He did win by a healthy electorate, but yeah popular vote country as divided as ever and I'll be amazed he'll be the one to unify, lol.

Why would you even go so far as to say he won by a "healthy" electorate, because it wasn't, the win deserves no other adjective. If you must qualify it, than "an American tragedy" comes to mind.

Compared to the other platforms, UPlay is actually pretty subdued. Not in your face at all, and it works well for me. Also mostly easy to figure out what is going on.

He's right and I'm one of those people that don't want to sign up to or use another distribution platform.
