You don't understand hate?

??? He said he didn't understand the hate: the hatred towards Steam.

You don't understand hate?

Then how can you know your capabilities in life? If you don't comprehend that you are capable of any atrocity given the right circumstances, then you don't have a clue about who you are. Do you think that the people who became Nazi officers in charge of torturing Jews in WW2 Germany dreamed of becoming such monsters when they were your age? Of course not! But still they did so. Do you think that the Ugandan rebels looked foreward to chopping the hands off the men of the enemy tribes? Of course not! But still they did so. Do you think that people who lose their jobs, their houses, cars, and all assets understood that one day they would take a great chance and rob a bank? Of course not! But they did so.

If you don't realize that you are capable of burning babies or any sick, depraved thing given the right circumstances, then you don't know who you are. You are EXACTLY like the person that hates. The only difference is that the person that hates knows he has the capacity to hate. You just lie to yourself.

I don't understand the hate. I do understand the lack of knowing what it is you're downloading for patches, but in every case do you really know other than some changelog.txt that you BELIEVE is in there? Trust me, vendors add much MORE to bugs and patches and fixes than what's in the changelog. They've been doing this for years and you don't have a problem with them.

Tell you what. I share what I did. I don't trust steam either but I have to use it so I set up a PC with a plain OS with nothing on it. Never used it to purchase anthing. I put it on a separate network in my house. So whatever patches they download to it, that's fine. I just run the game and that's fine for that standalone PC.

Works great. I don't understand the hate. By the way, the stolen source code I believe was HL2 not Steam.

-_-

Projection.

See this is exactly what I'm saying. This guy must have watched that movie "Dude, where's my car?" So now everytime he's surprised, annoyed, confused, or otherwise emotionally traumatized and intellectually challenged he poses a question that begins with "Dude," as if that is somekind of magic mantra.

Not only that, but this poor feeb couldn't even put a question mark at the end of his question. Do you realize that actually added punctuation but that you failed to ask a question? Now what am I supposed to do? I don't know whether you are telling me "what in the fuck am I talking about" or if you are asking me "what in the fuck am I talking about". Dude, I just don't get you.

Dude, what in the fuck are you talking about.

OBVIOUSLY IT WAS AROUND BEFORE THAT MOVIE!!!@!!@!@!@!!

That's the point. Some people use less common words on a regular basis, but because that movie came out more people began saying "I concur" & "Do you concur?" than ever before. Why did this happen? BECAUSE CHILDREN ARE HIGHLY IMPRESSIONABLE & ARE LIKE APES WHO MIMIC TO MAKE UP FOR THEIR LACK OF EXPERIENCE.

I was concuring long before that movie ever hit the silver screen... heh.

Seriously, it is not a very obsure word. For example, the online comic Cute Wendy, I recall, used it a lot.

As for you labeling it as "pathetic"... hrm...

It's really as pathetic as the people who quickly make their game name Aragorn or Legolas because they saw a movie. Those names have been around for half a century!

And the word "concur" has been around a lot longer than "Catch Me If You Can".

I've never seen that movie, is it any good?

I just find it funny that a lot of people must have seen the movie "catch me if you can". I keep seeing people type out, "I concur", instead of I agree.

I guess it just shows the impressionable age of the kids around here. "I concur"... indeed.

It's really as pathetic as the people who quickly make their game name Aragorn or Legolas because they saw a movie. Those names have been around for half a century! But like I said, it just shows the impressionable age of the kids around here.

The only reason they would scheadule regular patches would be copy/cheat protection.

This is a *good* thing.

If it was just bug patches (are there any more Steam bugs left?) there would be no need to patch regularly.

Also, I seriously doubt any anticheat updates will be documented. That just gives hackers a leg up.

Also, to the person who claimed this was like weekly advertisment: I ask, advertisment for what? Steam? Is someone really going to read Blues News, see that Steam was patched this week (like every week) and decide to buy a Valve game? Huh? Pretty much everyone who reads Blues News knows Steam exists. This won't change with weekly update posts.

As I understand it it was intentional for steam to deliver frequent patches as part of the anti cheat functionality, but since theres no word that this is what these patches are for or not who knows.

Having a weekly, predetermined patch schedule will greatly decrease the amount of threads like these when Blues post that there is, yet again, another patch for Steam. It will avoid everyone questioning why a program needs so much patching.

Now we will only have these head shaking, fist shaking threads when Valve releases patches in between their scheduled patches. And I believe there is no doubt that this will happen.

I concur with Wowbagger's assessment.

i'd say this is confirmation that steam is a program that valve will not give up on, and that they are committed to making it work.

i'd say this is confirmation that Valve hates us all and wants to make us suffer for all eternity.

This news on the heels of Valve announcing daily interum patches to the weekly patch. Every keystroke of Valve's programmers will be turned into gel-like urine and delivered via steamholes in their customers' asses.

>> the program will be patched on a weekly basis now, with the scheduled updates to take place every Wednesday at 10:00 p.m. EST

Well since everytime theres even the smallest little change in this POS, it gets posted on Blues News. I guess Valve will get permanant free advertising for this, every Wednesday at 10:00 p.m EST.

In order to save time Blue, you might want to make a little script to post the same item ever Wednesday.

Steam ate my dog and killed my homework!

Personally, Steam doesn't bother me. I am a bit bothered by them issuing the update at 10pm on a weeknight. You would figure that they would take into account CS/DoD/TFC league play.

maybe they'll be updating STEAM's cheat/hack protection with these weekly updates. though I disagree with being forced to use STEAM, it seems people are a tad pessimistic.
