  Yes they did, not owning the game was FOMO, and they weren’t free at the time.

  In-app purchases and limited time game passes are hardly heroin

  Nobody is forcing people to buy anything, you CAN resist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 players rip into Arrowhead for 'straight-up ridiculous' Killzone crossover prices, CEO defends the choice⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re too weak to resist FOMO, maybe stay off the internet

  A footlong sub (not a meal) is around 13€ here.

  I can get a full ass restaurant meal for that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberpunk 2077 - Update 2.2 is live!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The PS4 was underpowered for it and it never should’ve been launched on it. Pro was ok-ish

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberpunk 2077 - Update 2.2 is live!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I played through CP2077 at launch and found like two bugs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  For those unable or unwilling to find employment, there is Basic Assistance, the United Nations’ global welfare program. Over half of the Earth’s populace relies on it for survival. Without jobs, these people have no money, so Basic provides shared accommodations in government housing complexes, meagre food in the form of Gray-tasting textured protein and enriched rice, minimal medical care in government clinics, and even recycled paper clothing, dispensed from automated kiosks with a thumbprint. All of these services are provided free of charge, but those on Basic are subject to mandatory contraception and cannot legally have children, apart from the regular “baby lottery” allowing for a small number of births each year

  From the Expanse wiki.

  Earth has a population of over 30 Billion with a B when the series starts.

  So who is the CEO of Brand Shield? 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the backstory is so that there aren’t enough jobs for everyone due to automation, so they offer people who don’t want much the option of Basic (income), with the option to get more if they get a job or start a business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So anarchists want Basic from the Expanse pretty much?

  Basic in the world of the Expanse provided people with a very basic apartment with a bed, table and a TV along with three nutritionally complete (not delicious) meals per day for free.

  If you wanted anything more, you had to work or enlist.

  Who is allowed to rent to the people who don’t want to buy?

  Should the city own property just for that and run it as a non-profit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem most people, mainly conservatives, against Trans people? Unless I am wrong I never heard of one shooting up a school church or whatever. The ones I have met have been pretty cool.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hating gays isn’t cool anymore and will get backlash even from conservatives.

  Trans people are the new gays in this sense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young Frankenstein is not available for streaming⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I did the math and with current HDD prices it’s legit cheaper to rip DVDs as 1:1 copies and store them on a NAS vs buying the shelf space my 1000+ movies and TV shows would need.

  I’ll keep physical copies of the rares and classics, but the rest will be donated after I’ve digitised them.

  Check out the leaks from the Sony/Microsoft trial

  There are literally tens of millions of people who ONLY use their PS5 for CoD - a live service multiplayer game.

  A whole generation of people have literally never played a single player game and don’t know how to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Dev Says Big Budget Games Are Failing in Part Because Teams Are Over-Scoping Their Projects⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People expect all games to be multiplayer with online live ops and events and a steady flow of new content.

  That’s why you need to have a 500 person team. Someone needs to be designing and coding the valentine’s event for 2025 right now
