They’ve already burnt up thousands of tons of satellites and plan to burn so much more e-waste in our atmosphere.

Bummer their company didn’t work out but good on them for not screwing over their customers!

Perhaps Tom is just bad at being a predator?

Spike basically fills the ecological role that the owl would in this scenario, doesn’t he?

Not exactly what you’re after but William Gibson’s Sprawl trilogy is pretty close minus the small population and only small parts of the population live in some sort of paradise. There’s also Burning Chrome, which is set in the same universe but is a series of short stories. It’s a dystopian near future sci-fi noir that is considered to have basically started the whole cyberpunk genre. Punchy writing, would recommend.

Well, shit.

This phenomenon is called “semantic satiation”.

Hail Eris.

Ah, they lost their instance for a while there.

Kinda but some places are way worse than others (Hexbear, .ml, and lemmygrad come to mind as the most egregious, but I think Hexbear is actually gone now).

No, I don’t.

I can (and should) look at each one on a case by case basis, compare the parts, the actual costs of said parts, and make a determination from there. In the case of Steam devices, I do not lot believe they are price gouging - you can build a similar device that’s going to be on par with or less expensive than their machine, but not by all that much.

US here: Names are all over the place.

Yeah, that seems like it could be alright.

Maybe he’ll even send me a Steam Frame! Or a yacht! I heard he has a bunch of those.

Tacos are not actors.

I’m taking this out of context and there’s nothing you can do about it.
