    As I’ve said, I’m a bad boy doing bad-boy activities, i.e.: using old PCs with the OS they came from. 🩸🗡️😎🔥

      I for one dislike your comment because you used non-ASCII characters (emoji) in your reply. I am viewing this conversation chain via mutt on a tty, as is my preference and hobby, and would appreciate if you avoid using characters that cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII. If you’re going to the effort of having a discussion in a public place, you have an obligation to keep those of us on mutt in mind.

        OHH!!! EMOJIS! The 200K Karma Redditor inside you is surely raging!

        I commented on why I think this announcement is just another corn in the steamy pile of doo-doo… dookie… manure, if you will, that Steam is for me.

        I’m not expecting Steam to change for me or people in the same scenario as mine. Steam simply doesn’t fit my needs any more and I won’t support them. But then again, crucify me for my sins, daddy. I might go back to purchasing games on Steam if you do it well enough. 🍆💦

          Imagine thinking your this smart and missing such obvious parody of yourself.

          Hint: their comment had very little to do with emoji.

            Yeah… Well, although I genuinely appreciate experbia’s humour, when the parody is making a joke out of a misinterpretation, the joke just doesn’t land, honey.

            Hint: their comment had nothing to do with what I initially expressed here, and my response had very little to do with emoji, just like the parody itself. Two failed swings from your part, let’s see if you get the third strike, smartpants.
