My girlfriend's cat, Benito, sleeping with his tongue out. Named that because he's "bonito" beautiful in portuguese.

How would abolishing work? Just delete the company and fuck the clients?
I, too, hate monopolies and centralization, but that just seems inconvenient
Like, Valve's steam has reached past 15%, would everyone lose access to the games?
I think forcing interoperability between similar services would help with this. No more company-specific printer ink. No more "exclusive" chat services.
If a service is bad you can just change it without having to change who still use it/what uses it
Why would it be abolished?
You'd have to change services commonly
Why flying?

also, not really paying for patreon, but I'm using it to pay DJPeachCobbler for his amazing videos on history
Oh I thought it was actually unlawful to stream the music of a game, thanks
IIRC it's because the streamer can't play the music to people, since they don't have the license for that, the game has the license to play the music, not the streamer.
Yes, they got "the vibe" of the Zone, it's cruelty, it's unforgiveness, it's beauty and several other aspects, but scratched everything else. Honestly I think it was a good call for the games, it leads to more definitive ending. As for the movie, it's certainly better for not telling what the Zone is, unlike the book, that opens up explaining it.
Honestly I like the terror of the Zone simply existing for no comprehensible reason instead saying outright what it is. But the horror of the book is also great.
Roadside Picnic tells a story about an alien visit to earth, however they all already left and only some of their stuff remained in incredibly dangerous Zones. At the beginning of the book we follow Red, a Stalker, they wander into the Zone and try to escape with their lives, if they are lucky they will bring some alien artifacts and sell them to the highest bidder.
The book is much more firm that the Zone was created by aliens, and brings you to question that, if there where aliens, would they try and talk to us or even see us as intelligent?
The story was heavily adapted for the games (called S.T.A.L.K.E.R.), but I also enjoy them very much.
Connect uses flutter, which I'm pretty sure isn't web render based
