Are there actually 3000 steam achievements?

Are there actually 3000 steam achievements?

There are other "games" out there with over 10,000 achievements. The achievement icons are basically just the alphabet plus a few symbols in an array of backgrounds and colors so that you can spell things out with your achievement showcase on your profile. You earn several dozen achievements within a few seconds of play.

It's generally the only reason to ever bother purchasing the damn thing, and the devs are oftentimes fully aware of this.

It is doxxing, because its attaching an online account to a real person.

So with the passing of TB a couple of days ago a whole slew of utter shitlords holding a grudge but being too spineless to to anything about it while he was alive are coming out of the woodwork to talk shit. While that whole thing us fucking disgusting to see, one part of it resulted in an extremely sick burn of the asshat in question.

This is my lol.  Giant fucking content creator sics his audience on a tiny content creator like Zoe Quinn... while having the comments on his youtube channel turned off perpetually.  Don't step into the ring if you can't take a hit.

To be fair, a tame black or brown bear isn't that different from a really big dog in behaviour. They're generally too wild to have as a pet that you take on walks and such, but having one in an enclosed habitat (not a cage, it needs to be very large and enriching) can be fairly safe if you know what you're doing.

I thought they were a bit too solitary to have the kind of social pack behavior that makes dogs/wolves as cooperative as they are.

Pretty sure the Russians just get them drunk off their fuzzy asses in order to pacify them.

Bears can be trained as, well, I wouldn't say pets exactly, but companions and performers. I wouldn't try it as a non professional. They're like big cats in that sense, trainable but very time intensive. And one wrong move can end in bad things.

Black bears are actually pretty shy and easily startled, and will typically run away from humans if you just dont corner them. That video of a cat surprising a black bear from behind a bush and having it run away is typical behavior. Its american brown bears (grizzly bears) that fuck your shit up if you startle them at close range or seem even remotely like youre not backing down. Theyll avoid you, sure, but they fucking hate surprises.

Heh, yeah.  When my mom and I went hiking Montana (which was awesome, such mountains... much vertical) we sang a lot of silly songs when going around corners or in thick trees.
I actually sang some Carmen Miranda space-songs, heh.  That was a good trip.

Apparently SCO once tried to defend themselves against allegations of misleading advertising by claiming that 'the First Amendment allowed it'.
He he he.

The media was freaking out about a steam game called 'Active Shooter', to the point where it got pulled.

Looking at it, its just some incredibly lazy CS asset flip developed by some nothing Russian dev team.
Sure its in poor taste, but the real crime is how much of a garbage game it looks.
It has a goddamn zombie survival mode
Nobody would have known or cared about this game. Now tons of folks know about this game

Even bad publicity is good publicity, I guess???

Hell man, most student-made games look a heap better than that. In fact, in a statement the developer refers to themselves as "I" not "we". It's one guy who doesn't even have the design chops of a typical first-year student at an art or design school. e.g. he clearly used UE4 or similar engine, but for that he can't even use the basic UI element tools properly that come bundled with such engines. Even the stupidest UE4 or Unity dev can make an 100 times better looking UI with the cut and paste type tools.

The media had to basically ignore how home-made that game looks in order to hype it and the campaign against it. And it's not hard to put it in context: just google "student made shooter games" and you'll see hundreds of slicker-looking games than that. You're right, "Active Shooter" wouldn't have even been a thing unless people kicked a stink.
