10$ a year is (was) the price of 2 full price titles. And that’s about the price I pay for games in a year. How much do you pay for games in a year?

You could play full games, start to finish. I think it’s kinda unfair to compare them to demos. It was a pretty good deal at $10 a month.

Honestly, I really disliked the end of outer worlds 1. The game felt not as polished near the end, and I got railroaded into the ‘evil’ ending with no way out of it.

Hoping outer worlds 2 fixes that, but I’m waiting for a deep discount first.

I’ve only known one cool HR person…they fired her a year after I quit

To the previous poster’s point, internet ads have evolved away from ‘paying the bills’ and more towards ‘harvesting and selling your data’. It’s made to be as invasive as possible now because they want your data, whereas before it was much easier to ignore or filter out. And it’s everywhere, from websites to mobile apps.

To your example, the amount of money youtube(well, google) has spent on trying to beat adblockers could make the service free for everyone and keep the lights on…but it makes more money to sell your data instead, so they try to shove more ads in. That’s also not counting the amount of paid research that goes into ‘what advertising is effective’, or ‘how many ads is too many’, stuff like that. Not nearly as much thought was put into them in the early days.

I still got a Hawken tshirt in my closet I think

The overdone editing and the fact that this channel has only spit out videos within the last year, it’s probably ai slop

What’s the price of ground beef in your magical bumfuckville? I looked up prices at my bumfuckville back home and it’s sitting around 6$ a lb

You haven’t noticed how expensive groceries have gotten this year? Does sound a little bit privileged, imo

What kind of coffee are you drinking? See if there’s a local brand or cafe to try. Some coffee brands are usually much worse when they don’t have additives to hide the flavor (ex, Starbucks)

Well, there’s sticking it to big pharma, and then there’s…dying to ivermectin because someone read it cured covid online. Some overlap between the two groups to be sure, but I think the underlying motivations are a bit different

Doubt it. Privatization’s all about making money, and making people skeptical of big pharma means that big pharma gets less money. Think of how pissed off the people making money off tylenol must have been when it was “linked to autism”

I view medicial conspiracy more as a tool to gain political power. Create discourse by spreading bs, then rally the people who fell for it so you get more votes. Pretty common Russia tactic, iirc.

I could never forget about plok, I still hear the music pop up on youtube every now and then

Just about nobody out there is focusing on making a steam deck optimized game right out the gate. They build a full game, then they go through and try to optimize/update ui for smaller screens. That’s additional work, on top of an already hard task of making a good game.

I like to stay informed on what the crazy people are thinking. Got christmas with my family coming up, gotta prepare mentally 😛

if PBS was state propaganda…why would the state want to get rid of it?

Yooooo, I had the bill clinton ones too lol

I’ve gotten sucked into just about everything Wildbow. Currently working on Pale, but taking a break

My mother always roasted all the moisture out of a bird every year. I convinced her to get a second, smaller turkey so that I could fry it. Now I’m in charge of turkey every year cause everyone agreed it was better than hers.
