>>42382883Playing games "let's off Steam" and is a way to release pent up psychic energy without disturbing the material world. This behavior can be steered for helpful or predatory reasons. Steam is the most customer friendly gaming platform. It's the lesser evil in that they really just want your business, and care more about that than steering your purchases a particular way.

>>42383222This isn't /v/ so I won't quibble with Steam's business practices for long, but for the record, no one and I mean no one else offer full no questions asked refunds after playing a game. Nor does anyone offer as robust a platform to both rate and repair their purchases honestly. My point was that Valve's naming checks out due to the industry it is in, and their practices are 'friendly' by industry comparison.
>>42383239>no one else offer full no questions asked refunds after playing a game.So what you're saying is Valve lets people easily abuse a refund policy.>Nor does anyone offer as robust a platform to both rateOnce again you mean to say Valve is the only platform that easily lets its users exploit and review bomb or positively bot games (mixtape)>repair their purchases honestly.There is no such thing as repairing a purchase.

>>42383330don't be the shortest straw in the milk drinking contest.
>>42383318You pushed back against Steam being a customer friendly platform and then went on to list a bunch things you wished customers didn't have.>>42383318>So what you're saying is Valve lets people easily abuse a refund policy.Abuse is punished. You get two hours of playtime to see if you like a game or that it works. If you beat the game and unlocked all the achievements, they'll get wise and have the right to deny you. No abuse, just customer protection form slop and false adverts. >Once again you mean to say Valve is the only platform that easily lets its users exploit and review bomb or positively bot gamesSteam took measure to differentiate by adding "recent reviews". These show that "review bombs" not only happen, but why. Other platforms would just as soon not let anyone talk at all because some dev might get butt blasted. >There is no such thing as repairing a purchase.Not true at all. The forums exist to make games (and mods) work properly. There genuinely not a better place to find a fix for something. >>42383318>No they're sloppy and at best "Libertarian" they're not serious by any means and would exploit their users if given the opportunityWhy does Valve, a 'major pie holder' in your words, not have the opportunity?Whom or what is stopping Gabe from fleecing us like everyone else?
>>42383356>Whom or what is stopping Gabe from fleecing us like everyone else?Gabe Newell has already been retired since 2015 and its obvious from the artwork in storefront sales.>what is stopping Gabe from fleecing us like everyone else?What makes you think he's not already doing that?

>>42383733They love to hide everything in plain sight. The game is literally called "Half Life" i.e half of life, i.e, you are playing the other half of life (spiritual symbolism). Also "valve" i.e a mechanism to activate or open something, with obviously the symbolism of either the eye and/or the head/brain.Gordon Freeman is obviously some Lucifer symbolism since his last name is a nod to Free Man i.e Free Mankind - promotheus/lucifer type stuff
>>42382731They are aware of the symbolism, don't doubt about it.

>>42383902HL: Alyx also striked me as incredibly odd. IIRC at the start of the game you are semi-trapped in an apartment building due to a headcrab/zombie outbreak. Obviously the game was released during he height of covid.Valve's new Counter Strike games (Global Offensive) also have weird 'trendy' shit going on with them since IIRC it is about a sudden explosion in 'terrorism' due to changes in society. Very relevant to the current day
>>42383202>Playing games "let's off Steam" and is a way to release pent up psychic energy without disturbing the material world.TOPKEK. You have not played Dota2 or any competitive multiplayer game with random teammates if you truly believe this.
>>42383919>CS:GO CT Designs Were IDFhttps://counterstrike.fandom.com/wiki/IDFIt's also interesting how most of the prominent FPS games of the decade were Middle East war propaganda...
>>42383950>Maybe the Steam was the Rage Loosh we generated along the way.I also think the "creepy feeling" of source games isn't accidental, the photo realism textures give it an uncanny valley and there might be some "ghosts in the machine" per se, the story behind the half life 2 charred ragdoll is also weird...
>>42383962CS:GO itself gives really weird vibes. Like you said some years ago I did notice the 'middle eastern' counter terrorists are obviously IDF. I don't know the lore much but all of the terrorist orgs in the game are weirdly 'normal' - for example the middle eastern ones, one of the main lines they say at the start is "so we can be free", and another one is like "remove them from our land". There is also the Western/European terrorist org which similarly has very realistic lines and once again IIRC the lore (via the DLC season operations) paints them as normal people pushed to a breaking point via government overreach. Very weird vibes

>>42383962> Playing CS as CT> Normalfags1.6 Arctic / Guerilla Warfara / 1337 skins were peak. That said, my strongest memory is still rescuing hostages through the sewers under the nose of the Ts, on cs_militia, and winning the game, as the last CT standing. Burn into my memory as a wee lad.

It's also worth noting the Steam Machine's dimensions are perfectly even 6 by 6 by 6 inches
>>42384030On a dial-up over 300ms ping, fuck yeah. Nothing compared to the highs (and lows) and the adrenaline rush as a kid, especially as a europoor. Dopamine receptors fried for good, though. I do not know any other game from the early 2000's that would even compare. Quake3 was not as punishing or intense, since you just respawned after a fuck up. The stakes were super-low.

How are Steam using, Samsung Galaxy using & Grok AI using people not demonically possessed already?

Not every cube-shaped object is a reference to Saturn.
>>42385100If its black, angled in a certain way and is made by a demonic corporation that sucks energy away from you then it definitely is
>>42385100Black Cubes specifically are though.

This is a good thread. It really is all connected.
>>42382731A steamdeck logo is same as screscent and shpere symbol on tophets
>>42382832fpbp/threadI'm guessing op is one of those retared newfags who only talk about Saturn
>>42382731There are basically three reasons why steam would want to use saturn magick:1. Saturn signifies withstanding the unbearable and2. Saturn rules over hidden / covert enemies: They want to be safeguarded from the people that want a share of their market share.3. Saturn rules over efficiency and simplicity: They want to cut down on losses.

>>42388916Yes, everything is unironically interconnected, follow the Synchronicities.
>>42387980Saturn is also about Structure, Stability and Wealth.Binah that stabilizes Kether and Chochma.The Skeletal System that structures the body.Wealth because in Roman times he was an Agricultural Deity and Wheat = Wealth back then.Many businesses and even dollar bills honor him, the Novus Ordo Seclorum of the dollar bill comes from one of Virgil's Eclogues about Saturn.Redeunt Saturnia Regna.
