Hi I’m Holly! My pronouns are they/them, and she/her.
Extremely opinionated and can write walls of texts for very small passions.
I’m also anxious so if I interact with you and then disappear, I’m sorry I got overwhelmed!

What monopoly? If I have to choose between GOG, Steam, Epic, Ubisoft, Blizzard, Rockstar, EA, and others I am going with the least user-hostile, and the one that has Linux support.
Steam is the only one that actually cares about the quality of a service, so maybe look at that instead of crying monopoly.
You are just seeing more posts, which is skewing your perception.
I suggest you become familiar with blocking people, words/phrases, and communities. If you use a third party app you can even block entire instances. In your settings you can also block bot accounts. Blocking the news bots cleaned up my feed and I mainly browse new posts on All.
13 wide! That was my size when I weighed almost 450lbs. Nicer shoes were hard enough to find back then, so I feel your pain! If you like Converse sneakers, the plain white or cream coloured ones look really nice with sparkle laces ✨ (and they can be dyed)
What size if you don’t mind my asking? I wear a EU46/UK11/US12. Asos has an ok selection of gender neutral shoes.
Accessories! Hair ties in vibrant colours. Beard beads. Bracelets that aren’t just a leather cord or heavy chain. Same with necklaces. Wear an anklet. Toe rings. Cute finger rings. A brown or black shopper bag can double as a purse if it has a pocket with a zipper.
I love my long and flowy cardigans, especially black ones that I wear in public.
Shoes, I’m on a bit of a white shoe kick. Thicc chonky sneakers are popular where I am. A white shoe with coloured laces is 🔥
I can see why Steam seems to have a monopoly on PC gaming. Pretty much everybody uses Steam as a launcher and store, and Valve has seen success with the Steam Deck so thats the hardware field also covered. They even managed to upset Nintendo when the Switch emulator was showcased lol.
A good size of the fanbase are also massive Valve fanboys, so there is a lot of brand loyalty, making the service have a larger presence than others.
At the end of the day, the fact remains is that there are other storefronts, launchers, and Valve has even opened up the Steam Deck’s specs and OS. Theres like, no monopoly there. I hope the parent commenter can eventually see that.
