I mean, lets be fair, you remove Epic from the situation, and I’m 100% down for a Golden Gurgle.

I think I know who you are talking about, I recall seeing something about her making more money posting on pornhub than youtube because of greater advertising sharing or something.

We’re talking about youtube competition, self hosting isnt ever going to compete with youtube.

I think larger merchants can negotiate lower swipe rates, but even 3% means they are getting more from the charge than the transaction costs them.

Creating an infrastructure that could potentially ingest terrabytes of data per second, and then processing it into multiple resolutions, is a massive ask.
Especially for a new site that might not ever get picked up by users, much less creators.
I think the only people that have a hope in hell of having a success at starting a youtube competitor are the owners of the big porn sites, since they are in a similar, if much smaller than youtube business with regards to infrastructure demands and processing needs. . So they have the institutional knowledge and infrastructural inertia to get started easier than anyone else on the planet. assuming they want to do a SFW video site, which they may not want to do.

Same.
Doesnt matter if it comes with a blowjob from Bea Arthur, Epic is a shitty company and I avoid them where ever I can.

charged refills of fountain drinks is just pure exploitative robbery.
- Comment on Unexpected item in the bagging area! 16 hours ago:
yep, I asked them one time don’t you want to check my bags or anything? Cause I dont want to get my arm broken being tackled by surprise in the parking lot by a cop.
they stared at me for a moment, presumably over my comment about police abuse, then said “You’re good” and walked away.
- Comment on Unexpected item in the bagging area! 16 hours ago:
The problem is a lot of stores don’t react, but document via camera, so you might think you could get away with it again… and they keep track, until you pass a felony amount, when they finally stop you and call the cops.
- Comment on I'm doing my part 16 hours ago:
yeah, last time i checked the cost of the water, syrup, cup and straw were like…20 cents, for a big 64 ounce drink. admitted that was before trump ruined the economy, but i doubt they are still not making absolute bank on fountain sales.
- Comment on I'm doing my part 19 hours ago:
if people knew just how little the typical fountain drink cost, cups and straws included, they would riot over the costs.

I never stole anything, but i imagine its pretty easy… I legitimately have the damn thing freak out on me at least 80% of the time, and the person that comes over doesnt look at my bags or cart, just swipes their badge to cancel the alert and walks away without even acknowledging my existence.

Same. The people who review are a very very small minority.
- Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)? 2 days ago:
Cant help you, it was indefensibly buggy on launch, but its long since been fixed and been shockingly stable for me, even when modded out the ass.
I genuinely can not remember the last crash I had.
- Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)? 2 days ago:
Something key to remember is that when a game gets “Mixed” on Steam, eg 50/50, that still means half the people who play it enjoyed it. Half is not nothing.
No, it means half the people who can be bothered to review it enjoyed it.
For every review theres probably several hundred/thousands of people who play the game and dont review.

The best Fallout Experience in the 3d era is New Vegas. Which is fitting, since it was the only one made by the actual fallout creators, that had actual love for the setting that they created.
Fallout 3 was like a collection of short stories all bound into a single hardcover. Because nothing you did in location X, affecting anything out of location X. It tried, but I think the reason it got as much praise as it did in the early days, was simply because it was like muddy water in the desert to people dying of thirst, it whet their lips and throat and as a result was the sweetest thing ever tasted. . Until you got back home and drank proper, clean water again and realized how your desperation was making something bad into something grand.
Fallout 4 is a great looter shooter. But thats all it is, its not a fallout game… Its like Bethesda bought some half finished game and threw super mutants and butchered/ruined the RPG system to enable infinite growth in a system where no one is going to get to level 200 under even egregious gameplay circumstances
- Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)? 2 days ago:
New Vegas will always be superior to Fallout 4 in everything but graphics.
Fallout 4 is a great looter shooter. But its an absolute ass awful fallout game… Like they bought someone elses half finished shooter, and threw super mutants and a fucking horrible RPG system into it awful.

You are doing yourself a disservice.
Install and play it now.
Its a fantastic fucking game. Literally no two playthroughs are the same.
- Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)? 2 days ago:
Excuse me.
The question was about bad games that you enjoy.
Not about fuckawesome games that are fuckawesome and that Sega needs to burn for not allowing us to have a sequel of.

Figured as much, was just making sure my position was clear. Have a good one :D
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 5 days ago:
Yeah, I’m sharing my own personal anecdote backing up your statement.
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 5 days ago:
They’re the absolute most boring, plain and lazy in the bedroom, and they also tend to have fairly to extremely serious mental/personality disorders/problems.
I encountered a woman once that talked about how freaky she was in bed, in a way that openly encouraged investigation.
Investigation commenced.
Turns out her idea of bein freaky was Doggy Style.

People like this (the guy in the topic, not you, Escape) are the kind of people to unironically say that liking women is gay.
So its 100% for the boys to think he’s a pretty pretty princess.
