Being insecure isn’t teenager exclusive, I guess.
I think OP is just asking the age-old question of “what is you guilty pleasure pop-song”. Just very poorly worded. I’m not gonna hold that against 'em.

Speaking of Heavy Metal and Natalie Imbruglia. I really liked Steve Welsh’s “If Korn wrote Torn”
Meh, there’s a ton of songs written strictly from female perspectives or with a female audience in mind. From Peggy Lee to the Spice Girls and so on.
I feel like they apply as “Girl Songs”.
If your company is successful, that’s gonna happen anyway.
I like this idea.
He’ll have to be inventive. It’s literally on the other side of the country from Ukraine. The closest borders are Mongolia and China
Money changing hands is politics. Just not the kind where you or I get to have a say in it.
If they took the first step and worked towards, or remained, independent and selfpublished, that would make it a bit easier.
But Bethesda, Obsidian, InXile and even Blizzard couldn’t sell their asses to Microsoft fast enough once the offer was on the table.
I get you want to support the Devs, but they kinda made their choice. They had independence, some quite successfully, but they sold it.
Maybe it’s time to look for new studios to support and help up to contest with the old buggers?
Cube (1997) It’s a great little film and a bit of a mindfuck.
Probably because Valve doesn’t make games anymore. Not on any serious level anyway.
Most of their games are old as hell, and most of them where in the “proof of concept” relm. They only really made games to push the technology they were working with.
It’d be a poor argument to bring up their old catalog of games from 20 years ago as something that made them a worse company today.
It’s about more than just taking a 30% cut of sales. Everyone agrees that it’s a high price. So what else might the potential competition do that make them stand out as worse than Valve?
Also, overworked and underpaid Devs are a different matter. You have look at their Publishers about that. I believe Valves Devs are quite well paid and far from overburdened.
I think that, regardless of brand, most users just want the most basic (almost blank slate) OS that can run the programs they choose to install.
And that is close to, if not completely, impossible to get if you don’t have a mind for Linux.
I, for one, welcome Japanese George Washington, Indian Hitler and Inuit Ghandi to our historical database.
Tobacco and alcohol.
Cigars & pipe tobacco. Whisky & cognac. The good stuff.
But after the world became so health focused, these indulgences has become more problematic.
I’m going to assume you mean when they were young. (As I am not a young person anymore)
Ever read or watched ‘Christiane F: Wir Kinder Auf Bahnhoff Zoo’?
That was pretty much my moms life when she was young.
Frank Herberts “WorShip” (aka Pandora Sequence) series should fit the bill. At the very least the first two books, ‘Destination: Void’ and ‘The Jesus Incident’.
The basic premise goes something like:
Humanity shot off into space to find another planet to live on. To survive the journey serious advanced AI needs to be created. AI shenanigans ensue. Humans are dumped on a super hostile planet, highly unfit for human life. As one of humanities last lifelines the AI demands to be worshipped as a god.
Paying definitely is a turn off.
But when I hear about all the catfishing going on in the dating scene, suddenly prostitution comes of as the more honest solution.
But each to their own. Personally, I don’t do either. I’ve grown content with my lot in life.
Isn’t the entire point of the newer versions of Windows just to force the engagement with applications you normally wouldn’t use?
