Big Picture mode in Steam is wonky as fuck for me

Edit: Not sure why this is so controversial. It’s always been weirdly laggy, even in my old computer and at other people’s houses. To be fair, I haven’t tried Heroic, but I was never saying Steam was better/worse

Is that a banana on your face or are you just excited to see me?

Oops. 🍌 Gonna hide my type behind this.

Use a surgical mask instead of a banana. It feels less aggressive.

Built like Robotnik

I had a typo. Reread it. It’s the “my (gender age)” part that annoys me. “My boyfriend” is a person, “me” is a person, but “my” is not a person.

Aside, but I hate that people say “my (F 21) boyfriend (M 53) prevents me” instead of “my boyfriend (M 53) prevent me (F 21)”

Don’t forget that they used to add referral parameters to links you clicked so they got a kickback from you clicking things from anywhere even if they didn’t make that link for you.

I hate this so much. There are plenty of aesthetically pleasing ways to avoid it. Windows 8 was particularly bad, my recollection was they literally looked exactly the same there, no difference at all. Luckily I only had to use it for a very brief unpaid internship.

Not objective in the sense that aliens would come to the same definition for what is and isn’t a planet. Compare that to something like what the elements are.

So you’re saying things just exist, and as humans we categorize them? Because that’s what I said.

There is no objective criteria for what a planet is and isn’t. Like a lot of things in nature, things just exist, and as humans we categorize them.

You’re the second person to ignore the sentence immediately following that.

I disagree, because typically it means someone is racist or sexist and just doesn’t want to see people of color or queer characters. Such people may still be willing to engage with the political aspects of their gaming insofar as they may join initiatives like Stop Killing Games or argue that game devs should be treated better, but they’re just bigoted assholes who can’t handle people of color or queer characters.

Also don’t mistake this as a defense of them. They’re deplorable. I’m just saying I don’t agree with the statement as written.

Exactly! It’s right there past Mars! It’s not like it’s some weird thing off in the cold dark past Pluto.

There is no objective criteria for what a planet is and isn’t.

There is, though, or rather there should be another one.

The official definition says

But I also said,

Like a lot of things in nature, things just exist, and as humans we categorize them.

People fighting for Pluto that it should be a planet instead of a dwarf planet

Ceres: 🥺

Context: Ceres is now considered a dwarf planet, and used to be considered just an asteroid, but when it was first discovered it was considered a planet. That was in 1801. There is no objective criteria for what a planet is and isn’t. Like a lot of things in nature, things just exist, and as humans we categorize them. Ceres is round like a planet like Pluto. I’m not saying it should be considered a planet, I think dwarf planet fits them both nicely. As late as the 1950s Ceres was still sometimes considered a planet by some people.

I have a sort spot for it. I love it.

Edit: Because two people have misunderstood me now I’m going to say it more explicitly. I’m fully aware there is a scientific definition for dwarf planets. I’m not saying there isn’t. I’m just saying compared to something else like prime numbers there isn’t an obviously correct way to categorize them and the definition has changed over time. By stating the current definition of planets and/or dwarf planets you’re missing my point. Those definitions change. See here for the history.
