      Here’s a guy that actually tried to make something good, even if the other guy didn’t let him. He worked to live and not lived to work. Yet he still has 10 million and a couple of houses, which definetely doesn’t make him a billionaire, but he has enough to put him in the “fuck you” position

        It was him, not Steve Jobs, who deserved to be Apple’s guiding light.

          This one wasn’t signed, but I have fond memories playing “Thexder” on an Apple IIgs in my grandparent’s basement growing up. You can guess where my username came from.

          That game sure was hard to play with all 4 arrow keys in a line on that keyboard…

          There is a Thexder game for the PS3 & PSP, if that interests you.

          Thexder NEO - trailer

            He’s significantly less evil than other billionaires and Valve provides a pretty solid service at a fair price. Not very many companies even reach that bar. Giving them credit for that isn’t unreasonable.

            All billionaires are bad but I’ll take Gabe over a Bezos or Zuckerberg every day of the week. There’s a huge difference on how those guys see/treat the world.

                Dexter as far as serial killers go was pretty nice compared to the average serial killer. He brought donuts and glides like a lizard on ice.

                  120k in silion valley in particular is barely a livable wage. CoL is incredibly high there.

                  That’s likely the case for people who are renting and having to take out enormous mortgages so is draining all their income.

                  But, for someone who got a home fully paid from decades back, so all they have is general expenses they would be comfortable. Which is the case for anywhere even if things are more expensive then other places.

                    One of the rare birds you kinda got to let slide with his wealth. To the best of my knowledge he hasn’t used that wealth to abuse people.

                      I honestly wouldn’t mind a billionare that ran around in the night using their billionare powers to bankrupt other billionares (or dumping their mutilated corpses in the bay, also fine)

                          I’d rather be murdered by the nicest serial killer than any of the others.

                          Logic dictates that he’d use a ‘nice’ way to do it, such as laughing gas, or something.
                          Over slowly skinning me alive and dunking me in a salt bath.

                                Yeah maybe he’s like bill gates and gave away large portions of his wealth, to himself…

                                Stuff like this needs to be thoroughly checked before it becomes “heartwarming”.

                                Edit: my point: don’t just trust them, verify.

                                Edit: seems to have angered the bill gates boot lickers lol

                                  Wouldn’t it be nice if serial killers joined a club where they serially kill each other? Just throwing an idea out there, so we don’t need a Luigi club to do the dirt work for them.

                                        Yeah that’s a fair statement someone could make. You wanna get killed by the serial killer that just poisons you in your sleep or you wanna get killed by the one that removes your skin and dismembers you alive? See the difference?

                                        Literally no one is doing that here (“ALL BILLIONAIRES ARE BAD”) Saying one thing isn’t as bad as the other isn’t a defense of the former.
