It’s the next evolution of planned obsolescence - it just doesn’t work as soon as you start to use it.

Hmmm

Nsfw?

It’s also about the design of the ladder. The top plate is literally not a step, and the bearings for it don’t account for it to be used as a step, so the forces involved can mess up or break the connection to the rest of the ladder.

…not that they always will, just that it’s a very bad idea.

Meh. Most of the top comments are pretty reasonable.

fwiw, I’m now pretty darn happy with Linux and gaming. Granted, I use Steam, so there’s that.

There are issues sometimes, but I just keep a copy of windows around for windows-only things. Generally, Linux “just works” for me, but I’ve also learned to just skip it when something requires too much involvement to get working.

Stellaris. Extremely long games, a lot to learn… …and they change it. Mechanics that worked before stop working. The bad parts are added to same become a DLC, the good parts disappear or are algal paved in DLC. Overall, it just doesn’t feel worth it.
