  Well, to be fair, I died about a year ago (literally) and me staying dead would also pretty much have meant leaving the current home. So while in Europe the immediate medical bills do not ruin you a family loss still might, since you’re missing the (part of) income.

  (there’s a circular relationship between living location/costs and possible job)

  Thanks for your insight. 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to fix one's eyesight? What are working methods? What is to be cautious about?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Be aware the correction likely is not forever and might require further treatments every few years.

  Schwein gehabt!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are $70 AAA games slashing prices so drastically?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s called idiot tax. (hint: not the discounted price)

  They’re driving on the right side.

  If I had that answer I would be happy to share.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do Americans win their country back?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It is too late for a while now. Try to be safe, even if that means moving.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Citizen player reports CIG is making him sign an NDA before getting a refund⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a bubble.

  A friend of mine who bought it clearly states that that’s never going to get anywhere. But he’s only paid a regular amount and accepted the risk and loss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is a difference if you get stuff prepackaged in a uniform format.

  But full agreement on the rest, yes with steam tendency to include drm (especially if new aaa) and gog hopefully not (but sometimes failing) as it still is their selling point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay let’s chalk this up to some language barrier or cultural misunderstanding then. 😁

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Err… You often don’t have the files drm free on Steam.

  Anyhow. Seeing the down votes I’d love for some to elaborate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While that may be partly true, depending on the county you’re located, they’re not able to revoke the license though.

  So in this specific case you having the files makes a world of difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need new glasses. The only insurance-approved place I can shop online will cost $250 with my needs. I went to a "cheap" glasses website that doesn't accept insurance: $250. Yay, America.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just to give you a little something:

  My glasses cost around 500€ to 700€ per glass (so so around 1200€ plus frame) and I have to pay them myself.

  Cocky.

  Okay

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legends of Adventure: The Story of Sierra On-Line⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I might, thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legends of Adventure: The Story of Sierra On-Line⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t read that one.

  Ken’s book is mainly focused on the business side of things. While that does sound boring how I stated it it is very good imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legends of Adventure: The Story of Sierra On-Line⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Color me surprised. I’ve read ken’s book which is recommendable. So what’s new here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wolcen: Lords Of Mayhem won't receive new updates and its multiplayer will switch off in September⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well can’t say much positive about this.

  Was broken and incomplete at so many levels from the beginning.

  We still had some fun with it though, to be fair. But mostly it’s been a mess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meat.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes indeed. Upon seeing this thread I thought I need to add the information you added, but going from dick to thick does absolutely not improve the situation.

  Aside all other legitimate concerns mine is mostly that they’ll use the MS store on PC…
