We re-re-re-re-re-re-re-released Skyrim once again over the last 10 years, it just doesnt have the same traction. It’s just that these audiences are only interested in a game for 6 months max.

And immediate brushing. I worked with a guy who kept a toothbrush at work and he brushed after he had a coffee. Seemed to do the trick!

They do it on purpose and it really does make sense. For everyone who supported the game they got the very best value of it. It sucks to pay full price only to have a sale pop up a few weeks or months later and you think “ah, I should have waited!” You buy the game, you support the devs, they keep working on the game, the game gets more, the price goes up for more game.

I wishlisted it when it was under $20. The price went up and up and didn’t go down. When I learned it was intentional and would never be cheaper, I bought it and eventually sunk 300 hours over loads of updates. Now the price tag is higher and I get to think “I’m glad I bought it when I did” and not “I should have waited”

The best time to buy Factorio was 8 years ago. The second best time is now.

Maybe I don’t know enough about computer graphics, but in what world would you have/want to display a group of 33 pixels (one computed, 32 inferred)?!

Are we inferring 5 to the left and right and the row above and below in weird 3 x 11 strips?

It is with that attitude

Fun fact! My coworker pays more in rent for his apartment than I do on the mortgage of my house. Most often this is true.

I’m getting a once over by the bank, he’s getting done once over by the bank and again by his landlord, and they might not ever be different.

So how is an immigrant supposed to thrive when a foreign investment firm is profiting off them twice?

Subsidize affordable housing, tax wholesale & foreign landlords out of existence. It’s simple.

If only we had some sort of public entity that could fund housing investments with little to no financial gain, but great gains to public support and well-being that was also in charge of controlling and permitting immigration rates so that the two could be balanced…

No. No, that’s not it at all.

Immigrants would be better served by unprofitable low income housing, not feeding their meager scraps to pay artificially inflated rent prices to an offshore real estate investment company.

I don’t think anyone wants to make a brand new condo and try to full it full of fresh immigrants that other businesses are exploiting to pay less.

They want to develop 1 set of condos they can sell for $300k+ rather than 3 sets for $100k

And DMX with and DMX with 17.

I mean, he tried to warn ya

It’s the turning point of modern medicine keeping too many backup kids alive.

It might not help you, but it helped me to recognize when laying in bed trying to “sleep in” wasn’t going to happen. If I’m not asleep again in 5 minutes and it’s past a certain time (6:30 for me), fuck it. My body just aches if I lay in bed awake trying to sleep. I get up and enjoy the quiet morning.

Maybe don’t charge $145 for a digital product. Maybe charge $50, and sell it to 5x the people. It quite literally costs nothing (okay, pedantically, the tiniest fraction) to sell more units.

I’d play an okay Star Wars game for $50 day 1. Wouldn’t you?

And then when it goes on sale, loads of people would pay $20 on a 60% sale price next year. Whose paying $60 at a 60% off sale for a year old okay Star Wars game? No one. Not one soul.

Oh, you can get it cheaper for subscribing to Ubisoft+. Fuck off with that bullshit, do you even hear yourself?

It’s the classic “pick 2”.

At first glance, that headline makes it sound disjointed and awful. But that’s a decent summation of a lot of my favourite parts of KCD 1.

And it’s also good to remember in our modern lives, it’s often just a feeling more than a state of being.

It’ll tell you you’re hungry just because it’s the time of day you normally eat. It’ll tell you you’re hungry when you really just need a drink of water.

Wouldn’t be the first time

I don’t know anything about EV efficiency, but the rates are inverse, so they are drastically different.

Fish gets 3.3kwh/mile

Peacock gets 4 miles/kwh or 0.25kwh/mile

Diplomacy. They can improve diplomacy. Will they? Absolutely not. But they could.

Jokes on you, commie! Space is part of the US of A. You put a flag up there, it’s yours. Thems the rules.
