michaelleung: You weren't talking about Steam yet. In fact, other than the news article on the first page, there was only one mention of Steam before your post.

But Steam is the major topic here, and people responded have generally responded in ways that are ignorant to how alot of drm works.
Some people have said Starforce is better then Steam drm >_<
Perhaps my original comment could've been said in a not so direct way, but considering most topics here are heresay, I don't know what else to reply with.

Thank you. I don't like you either.

That would make sense. Usually people only like people of their own IQ level, and judging by your posts here, I'd say it's a hard trying to find people with an IQ level of 3-and-a-half.

Right. From a scientific point of view you'd have to be at least an IQ of 70, PROBABLY MORE, to even understand basic language, so since I understand that, your insult needs to be adjusted to be taken seriously, no?
Also an IQ of 70 would make it hard to do bodily functions normally controlled by the brain so I wouldn't be able to responnd as fast as I am now.
Just explaining to you science so you can respond back with how stupid I am.

You misspelt respond. I guess 70 IQ it is.

I guess your right. Might I also mention that when typing with my two index fingers at around 40-60 wpm (Yes, I actually do that), my probability for making mistakes on words is around 15%. This is obviously due to the fact that I only use the index fingers, making it hard to reach letters. You'll also need to figure that equation in when you let me know how much of an idiot I am.

The fact that you only use two index fingers to type makes it even worse. But fuck this thread, you're a troll. I will now stop answering you and your stupid threads about putting up shelves and buying new glasses.

Alright, bye.
Wow.
This was highly entertaining so thanks to all of the participants.
Zelli I'm just wildly guessing here so correct me if I'm wrong please.
It seems to me that you take these kind of internet quasi arguments too seriously.
I say quasi because in every real argument you must have a common ground in which both parties holding the argument can agree upon. This is lacking here.
Then I feel that the other participants don't take this interaction as seriously as you do. This discrepancy is probably causing you to take this interaction of name calling even more serious, which isn't healthy.
Again if I'm wrong, tell me where I did go wrong.
I don't think you're stupid. Actually you might even be of above average intelligence. You're probably only lacking in social skills.
I would also like to say that genius does not border on insanity. In my line of work I was sent on multiple assessments, which told them that as far as IQ goes I'm a genius (140/150). I even regularly meet people who are considered genius by today's standards and none of them are insane.
If you want to check yours and can't afford a EUR 1000,- a day costing assessment you can go here and do the TA3 test. This is one of the best free tests around and the end result wouldn't deviate much from your actual IQ.
And yes I know, you don't have to tell me that the only which is certain about IQ is, that the higher the number the better the person is in making IQ tests.
Also good luck in university next year.

You um... guessed pretty much right >_<. I'm an INTJ, I thrive on arguments, I'm not nearly as full of myself as I seem but I love being right.
I'm higher in IQ and intelligence then my dad, who was a genius, but also a psyzhophrenic >_< (I'm not, don't start). I come from a large number of geniuses who went insane in their later years.
I don't take this name calling serious in a angry way, I find it hilarious and the other people lacking in intelligence TBH.

And that was me! HAHAHAHA!
Er, not that it matters I suppose.
Bah, well DRM is bullshit overall, which I suppose is only there to increase price, and appease ignorant investors. I've got a few games with Tages and Starforce, but always use cracks for those, so that I don't have to install the drivers.
There is a danger with online activation, that most of us know and fear. That the activation servers will be shut down.
The only reason to that I trust Steam is because they obviously are having no problems, while I'm still a bit skeptic to Impulse (which is why I bough the pack for Sins of a Solar Empire, with both the digital download through Impulse and a physical copy), because at this time, they can go both ways.

michaelleung: ...and the nagging fears that we'll be fucked if Steam shuts down.
I was listening to one of my weekly rotation podcasts, cant remember exactly which one (think it was Listen UP) where they mentioned this. One of them also replied that Valve representatives mentioned that in case that was ever to happen they would release the workaround/executable to let people play their already purchased games indefinitely thereafter. This isn't in any way official but it does give hope to me at least that when and if we face that threshold we will not be as is, fucked.

Oh, um... Thanks for linking me to that test. I'll take it, esp. the visual part, when my eyes aren't so tired.
I'll take my tinfoil hats and move on, thank you very much.
