Honestly thats my experience with most codes, in general.
Which is why those deal sites that give you codes are ultimately pointless, especially since they started making super specifically regional codes and other excessively extreme limitations that render it useless for everyone but one random guy that lives in a blue barn to the north east of a pig farm.

Comics were great too. Wish there was more of those too.
There was almost a TF2 show on adult swim, too… I dont remember all the details, I think it fell through cause Valve refused to listen to any input the CN execs had?

Hackers have already proven that your webcam can be activated and monitored without the indicator LED even turning on.
If hackers are capable of it, you know the CIA have been doing it for even longer.

man… I really wish valve would go back and make new Meet The videos… or just TF2 videos in general. The first ones, like Heavy, got so ripped off compared to later ones like the Pyros

the orange box wasnt released along side any steam hardware? that i can recall at least.
- Comment on Half-Life 3 Reportedly Delayed Due to Steam Machine Price, Leak Claims 1 day ago:
Nah, it’d bring prices crashing down as the market gets flooded with all the used hardware from the AI data centers being cleared out and auctioned off in bulk lots by bankruptcy courts and debt collectors, leading people to buy them by the truck loads and put on ebay for pennies on the original retail dollar.

- Comment on Almost 30 years later, Fallout 1's depth of choice, chance, and consequence is still an RPG gold standard 1 day ago:
Temple of Trials was 100% executive meddling.
Executives demanded a tutorial level, and thus the temple of trials was forcibly conjured into existence against everyone elses insistence and desire.
its the only black mark on a otherwise fantastic game…unfortunately its right at the start and sours to many people on the greater game.

Yep. Have no reason to trust it does what it says it does.
and even if it does what it says it does, no reason to believe that it wont default to on with the next update.

the problem is they mingle stock from every source into one pile with no discernable way to identify what came from where.

Newegg is a fucking open septic pit.
Fred sold it off to some chinese acquisition company and its almost a fucking scam now at this point.

amazon has been getting less generous with the returns for years now.
Especially if you have more than a few returns per year.
- Comment on Devastated PC builder orders DDR5 RAM from Amazon, receives DDR2 and some weights — counterfeit 32GB kit a worrying sign of rising return and sales fraud 2 days ago:
Yes. If you sell on amazon, and have amazon fulfill the shipping… you ship your stuff to amazon, and its just put in teh big pool with all the other items of the same kind.
Even returns get put back into the pool.
its the absolute most pants on head stupid fucking way possible to manage inventory to the point that shit like this seems almost intentionally designed for rather than a consequence of.

I just find it hilarious that the top/right/left toolbar was possible in windows 95/98/ME

- Comment on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes? 6 days ago:
Why should AI have to pay taxes when we have an ever increasing pool of poors, thanks in large part to AI taking their jobs, to increase the taxes on… in order to fund AI and to give tax breaks to the trillionaires?
and because there is inevitably going to be someone who fails to understand sarcasm, the heaviest of /s

- Comment on Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM 1 week ago:
Yeah, but I think SATA is quickly being relegated to large mechanical storage drives. For things that don’t require performance, like storage and what have… because SATA is not getting any faster, I doubt anyones gonna come out with a SATA IV standard at this right, when PCIE over M2 is easier, simpler, and faster.
