These are numbers from 2016. Is there any place where we can read these contracts? Maybe with the current situation, conditions are changing. Hopefully, people put a clause in case of animosity between countries.

Thank you! I thought I would not find there, but most of my Wikipedia searches found result.

I also found this website to confirm https://www.discogs.com/

Matrix is my favourite, and easy to use, you just need to pick a client that supports it https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/ (Element is the most common) and create an account. You can also self-host if you want more privacy/control.

Signal has a desktop client, but sadly, it still needs a phone to work.

I also use Steam chat for playing.

A more direct alternative would be

• Discord -> Revolt
• Teamspeak -> Mumble

How does the release date of the song works? There are some albums released in 2024, but I find YouTube performances in 2023.

I was going to recommend Jeremy Dutcher, but there was this grammy's performance https://www.grammy.com/videos/jeremy-dutcher-pomawsuwinuwok-wonakiyawolotuwok-performance-global-spin

I am not sure if it counts as an international hit. Edit: Nevermind, found a video in 2023 with that song.

How do I check the song release date? I saw some albums being released in 2024, but there is a YouTube video of the song in 2023

Adding to what other people already said

• For used stuff, https://www.kijiji.ca/
• DDR3 and SSD are still available around. (But I find it difficult to get Timetec and Patriot cheap outside Amazon - might be worth checking pcpartpicker)
• Old cables parts: check for small repair shops in your region, give them a call, they might have a box with cables.

And compare the prices with AliExpress. Occasionally, I find better prices here in Canada, but for cables, screws, filters, sadly importing is way cheaper. I think people buy in bulk from China and sell for 4X~10x more online here.

I don't know if you have tools and spare parts, but power cables are easy to fix if you follow the pin order and cable requirements.

Also, on FB market, or kijiji, post what you are looking for. People might have, but did not know there was interest.

I'm not sure if it is because of where I am living now, but +25 years ago there would be a whole neighbourhood of no brand tech stores, it was effortless to find old tech or next-generation consoles.

Canada is frail with local resellers, from the ones I had good experience with, Mike's closed, Canada Computers had data leak and price gouging in the recent history. All my interactions with Memory Express were awful, online or in person. I should have stopped after 3 times, but someone always says “they are better now”, shame on me. I have yet to try vuugo, pc-canada and shoprbc....

There are also some small niche stores, but they sell custom-made stuff, cables with different colours, or parachute chord sleeves. But then you will pay the price of your full cart on a single cable.

There was demo available back in 2020~2021, did they add anything new, or is it different stuff?

Not sure if it is a scam, like people are claiming (on the post, and steam reviews). I feel like it is more like a lack of experience and knowledge in the game business than any intentional wrongdoing.

There are definitely problems with the game, and the pace of updates and fixes has been lacking since it first appeared on Steam.

After watching the dev Stream in 2023, it seems like he loves what he is doing and probably will see this through, but he really struggles with basic concepts of game making - that might have changed since then.

During a programming session, he was asking everything to an AI chatbot and copying the result into the code, then suffering for a while back and fort with the bot because the code did not work as he intended, while the chat was sending the documentation page of the engine and other help that would have solved his issues.

Yes, they released it as a DLC. Escape from Pork Belly.

Nowadays, I think it means "agreeable". "I agree with this".

It is a term that changed a lot in such a short time. I remember it was a way to call a drug addict, like crackhead/basehead. Then it changed to call people talking nonsense, like they were on crack.

I imagine, at some point, someone agreed with the crackhead talk and read some comment of the nonsense being called "based".

I agree, and I am glad we are on the same page.

I just think it is important to highlight missing key-points, that people often misunderstand and can misconstrue, like the devs and lawyers from the now class action from the post. So it is important to clarify to prevent further misinformation.

• Steam does not care how much you sell keys for different platforms(e.g. GOG, Epic), just Steam Keys (i.e. keys for the Steam platform).
• And when you sell Steam Keys in different stores, you need to give Steam Store Customers comparable, but not necessarily at the same time or same price.

If you check the historical low on "is there any deal", often stores have games with historical low lower than Steam's historical low. From what I saw, the prices are usually around 10%~12% lower.

Technically, you can sell Steam Keys for less. But if you sell Steam Keys somewhere else for cheaper, you need to plan giving Steam Customers the same opportunity at some point.

Steam Key Rules and Guidelines https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys%20

I bought Steam Keys for cheaper in different stores, like Humble Bundle. I also got Steam Keys for free from devs/publisher (events, giveaway, press).

And If you don't mind Steam Keys, you can buy games from GOG or Epic and the price is not always the same as Steam.

You can compare prices in "is there any deal", they only allow authorized vendors. https://isthereanydeal.com/game/shadows-of-doubt/info/ You can see how the base price of Steam Keys are very similar, but the discount changes from vendors.
