I think I've been there.  To that exact island.  Years ago.

That stuff that looks like milk is actually milk.  The photographer used a high-speed camera while the model stood in a big bucket and an assistant threw milk at her, then hundreds of individual photos were digitally merged to produce the results.

3 Google "Subscribestar" to find their site, and I see that the search results do that thing where there's half a dozen sub-links under the main one.  What's the first one?  Sargon.
That's gonna sting.
Also, when, just for the heck of it, I went to his page, I noticed an "other people" sidebar, and Naomi "SexyCyborg" Wu's there.  I guess she never got her Patreon back.

The logical answer to PayPal is to start treating it as the bank it actually is, rather the thing it claims to be.  It will not change the orientation, unfortunately, but being on the receiving end of banking and financial institution regulations tend to concentrate a person's mind wonderful, in the same manner as being the guest of honor at a hanging.  Adding Facebook to the mix too, given the shenanigans they tried, would also be satisfying.

I actually did not know about the CTS/AMD kerfuffle until I saw the Disappointment PC video.

I am indifferent to Discord's attempt to get into gaming, and Epic has already started to jump the shark with their attempt at digital distribution, but gamers need a major competitor to Steam to force Steam to behave.  I prefer the GoG model, or perhaps how Stardock's former digital distribution service worked - but neither of those can even force Steam to break a sweat.  And IIRC, but Steam has never, ever, given an explanation for, let alone rollback, the removal of the Mangagamer title whose disappearance from Steam started the entire mess.
