This, along with some earlier shenanigans I only vaguely remember at this time, kind of undermines the value proposition of a Humble Bundle for me. I didn't do Humble Bundles often, but when I did, it was because they were . . . humble. I don't really like the basic idea of buying a bunch of games together; I'm picky about games, so in any given bundle there would be few enough I liked that it wasn't actually a great deal, and I'd get all this unwanted clutter along with them. So if I was buying a Bundle, it was to support indies or underdogs or something; I was buying smugness. Clearly, Humble Bundles now come bundled with zero, or even negative, smugness, which makes them worthless to me.

So, all active desire to boycott aside, Humble Bundles have stopped being a thing I'm going to want to buy.

Quoting: dpanterGamers bailing on Humble Bundle is sure to fix everything wrong here, for sure, definitely. IGN (Ziff Davis) is absolutely going to notice that sharp protest and make it right. Yes sir, 100%. If everyone drops HB then it can get killed as well.

Spoiler, click me

Is it sarcasm? It is. Which you already know but read this spoiler anyway... :cry:

Frankly, I'm fine with hurting 'em whether it solves anything or not.

Watching the stuff happening is kind of hypnotic.

No chocolate though.

It hadn't occurred to me before, but you know, in real life probably most of the people in the Wild West didn't have, like, western cowboy-style accents because after all, they just got there.

So I'm watching the trailer, nodding along, enjoying the refreshingly different accent of the character doing the intro, OK, exploration, buying stuff, like . . . portals. Oh yeah, I remember how portals made settling the Wild West so much easier . . . hang on a minute.

This seems interesting. The big thing I'm wondering is, do you ever get to crush this Guild?

You know, compared to all those other factory-esque games, this has one fundamental advantage:
The other ones don't have any chocolate.

Quoting: 14And it's immune to CrowdStrike.

Apperantly Linux servers also encountered this issue, but for linux it was caught by the admins before it could cause an outage.
In conclusion:
Linux is pretty secure, cool and stable, but Linux servers are all those things 10 times more than Linux causes them to be, because they're being managed by Linux users.

Looking at that, it would appear that Linux was vulnerable . . . if it was running virtualized Windows with Crowdstrike on it, using VMWare. I'm not sure a vulnerability that only shows up if you're running Windows counts as a Linux vulnerability.

When I think Acre, what comes to mind is the city in the Holy Land that was important during the Crusades.

Never knew guitar picks were so important for electronics repair.

Well, good for them, I guess? Not like I really care about the ROG Ally. I'm sure it's somebody's ally, but it's not my ally--don't believe I've even signed any treaties with them.
