I was under the impression that if someone is playing a game from your library you can't access it unless you boot them out (or you put steam in offline mode, meaning no updates or multiplayer for the duration). Is that no longer true?

No worries! I just shot you a DM being that this thread is already so long. It's the first I've sent on this platform, so let me know if you don't end up receiving it.

What was this from? I know the reference but can't place it. I could obviously search for it but, hey, I'm trying to be social here.

I'm pressing X to doubt.

We need to revise that for Lemmy.

"Lemmy: Where men are men, and men are women, and women are men, and I think we've got a few women who were born women, and also there's a whole bunch of new genders as well, and no genders at all, and that's all cool with most of us."

It's a mouthful and might not read well on a t-shirt, but we can workshop it.

Now I'm no American, but something smells FBIish about that address.

ICQ was my first foray into meeting girls online, back when that was a really weird thing to do.

Post a/s/l to pay respects.

Very fair point. And just to clarify, I loathe them all about equally regardless of how they obtained their wealth/power or what country they're from.

That's the way to do it. I used a broken laptop like that as my daily driver for a few years after losing my desktop and being unable to replace it.

I assume she's using a separate keyboard/mouse, right? Though I'm enjoying the mental picture of someone trying to touch type on a vertical keyboard.

I guess the technical difference would be that one had ancestors who took their power by force and managed to cement it into hereditary rule, while the other acquired it as a "captain of industry" and then largely did the same thing through lobbying or other forms of cronyism.

Mostly the same end result, but for some reason we put one on our coins and hold celebrations in their honor.

I do prefer your champagne analogy though.
