Sadly true :-( I would take the first 5m, then gift away the rest. I surely would not need more than that. I wouldn’t even need the 5m to begin with, but it sure can’t hurt either.

If i’m lazy, at a bank for just putting it there? More if i’m not lazy. I’m a mix of both :)

If that is an option in that deal, yeah sure :-) Although, i might add, after the first few hundred millions it doesn’t make any difference anymore…

3 moneyz of course! With moneyz I can buy things. With kids I loose things. Easy.

At only 3% interest, I’d rather take the dollar.
Though I, personally, probably won’t last long enough to enjoy my tremendous riches by then.

Same. I long stopped buying their shit. And also mostly shifted to indie.

I’d second that. Last AAA i bought without hesitation was CP2077. Still waited 2yrs to play it for obvious reasons. But US-american releases? no, thanks. Fool me 534times, shame on you, fool me 535 times, shame on me.
Fuck EA, but ubisoft games work fine on linux though. Not all are good, but i really enjoyed AC:Odyssey and Division2. Both great, actually.

Sure, i understand the motivation, but…meh. Since when is it the customers job to care? we just pay. Take e.g. Once human or Where winds meet. Also a nice fat budget, but interesting, creative games worth to play. And they even cost nothing. Unless you need fancy clothes. We’re just so americanized we don’t seem to mind. Even the most stupid empty shell of a silly game that is it’s fourth+ re-iteration of a franchise gets sold for at least 59,99 plus release-DLCs, bonus packs and pre-order-boni. Why should they even change if it works so well.

True that. But then they still expect us to pay 59,99 for the bare minimum…but yet, we do.

300 million moneyz? And still most games feel empty, dumb and copycats with the ambitious flow of a snail with slime-deficit-disorder?
Sad…

AFAIK it’s the same in Germany too. Unregulated. I could just go and call myself a chiropractor, trying my best to fuck you up.

As for the gamers… I’d argue that most of those don’t “accept” but simply don’t know better. Ignorance is bliss.

Polo puts the polo brand on everything. Ralph Lauren, GAP, etc
Sure. And Lacoste was “made in France” at that time too. Nowadays the prices went up, the quality down. I would too, knowing people will buy it anyway, as long as my logo is on it
Are you talking about bespoke tailoring? Even they get their fabric from Bangladesh.
Well, if they do, then they lie. But I surely can’t speak for them all. And wouldn’t really matter, as they stand in for the quality for life. Anyhow, that wasn’t meant as if Bangladeshi couldn’t do good stuff. They sure could.

- Comment on Truth 1 week ago:
Sticking a label on a piece of clothing doesn’t change it’s quality.
No, that was my point. They do that on cheap shit, even the expensive cheap shit. In tendency ofc, there surely might be some line of some fashion-brand that isn’t crap.
Textile mills in Bangladesh produce a wide range of qualities.
Might be, but you won’t find the upper range in fashion-brands. But you’re free to replace Bangladesh with any other cheap slave-country that produce clothes for us.
- Comment on The difference is real 1 week ago:
Those who know exactly what they’re doing are probably even worse. Despite a good education is absolutely no indicator for a lack of indoctrination. I have seen so many incredibly dumb people that still had PhDs and other titles.
- Comment on Truth 1 week ago:
You know that the REAL quality clothes don’t have labels? The stuff you buy at a tailor never looks fancy nor dons cool labels.
Also most fashion-brands are really shitty quality, made in Bangladesh, too. Because they know people only care for labels, not real quality.
- Comment on The difference is real 1 week ago:
Many murderer, eerrrrr…soldiers, are obviously against your opinion, but without the balls to say so.
And yes, if no nation would find people willing to die for money, errrr freedom’n’stuff, the billionaires would have to fight each other themselves, and then wouldn’t.
But there will always be clueless people, indoctrinated by enough bullshit to do so. Probably especially in the USA where the observationally challenged are legion and even wear red hats.
- Comment on You are too young to be tired 1 week ago:
Maybe you never had the joy of loosing yourself in something that is really fun and forget time? And then it’s suddenly 5am…
Well, if you COULD sleep at work, great. Then why sleep at night at home ,-) I don’t work so luckily I don’t have to care about that.
But I would also help you if gamed all night and forgot time. A newborn would not be some special reason to grant help. Even less so, actually as you also decided to have one and also knew that it will basically eliminate your sparetime.
- Comment on You are too young to be tired 1 week ago:
Hustle hustle, advance yourself and be productive. But don’t you dare to have more fun than work!
I stay up all night to game or have other kinds of fun. But still not tired because I just sleep as long as I want to. I must be a disappointment to our people 😁

Why? For whom? The 80s are over, what am I supposed to do with an 1.5" 1bit display? Play games I played 40yrs ago, but now on the tiniest display I ever had? And 1bit? My first computer had a 1bit display. It sucked ass.
I’m no AAA-gamer that values gfx over gameplay (the contrary actually), but come on…
And all this for 100 moneyz? I could not think of any single use case this would beat a stinky smartphone, which I’d also carry. And even if I had no phone, I’d buy a used gameboy or some other handheld for that price.

Wouldn’t say that EQ or DAoC were low effort mindless grind. Leveling or the super awesome large scale PvP (damn I miss this) needed tons of work, coordination and effort. I retired at the time the daoc beta went live and I basically lived there 😁
But farming for some stuff sure was low effort chilly grinding.
Anyhow, nice to read anything about daoc at all. It always seemed very niche. Eq had its moment in the sun and wow…is wow.
