“Damn that sounds pretty significant, I learned about similar events in school but definitely never this. I wonder if it’s as big as the post implies or if it’s being exag-”

The Battle of Blair Mountain was the largest labor uprising in United States history and is the largest armed uprising since the American Civil War.

“… Huh.”

Well I see why they left this one out.

What’s the context on this? Having a hard time finding anything

Edit: looks like Metal Gear Solid, Psycho Mantis flight. I only see stuff about changing the controller port though, AI slop summary says you can win the fight by “inspecting the game case or switching ports” but doesn’t say what inspecting the case accomplishes and I don’t see anyone else mentioning it.

I’m a PC enthusiast, but I think you’re greatly overestimating how much computing power the average, non-computer focused (read: most) people have access to. The “computer” in a ton of households is a smartphone, tablet, or the budget laptop they got their kid for school. Unless they bought the laptop with gaming or demanding productivity in mind, they’re not playing anything except older titles or small, non-demanding games.

The idea that “almost everyone already has a laptop” that they can just play games on just isn’t a reality.

Different guy here, when did you use SteamOS?

That would be pretty slick. I just ran a cable from my main PC to the front room TV and being able to use big picture would be nice but I have a game or too on GoG (use the heroic launcher to play them)

My friend in middle school had Skyrim on a PC disk.

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure Valve has said if they / Steam go out of business that there would be a window for you to download all your games DRM-free.

I think you meant

to something that works on Windows Linux

But that’s actually a brilliant idea I wish I’d thought of before I switched. I’m converting a coworker, I’ll recommend this
