- I’m guessing the other guy who responded was correct - must be related to markdown lists not having enough space for 4 characters before the period.

This game is probably my favourite horror game of all time. That being said, I’m playing Alan Wake 2 currently, and it definitely does better at being scary. AW2 does an amazing job at creating disturbing environments and imagery, while also being oddly beautiful. Reminds me of the Hannibal TV series a lot.

They have been using the same formula for 15 years and it still works, I have no idea what the people you know are expecting

they want to maximize the predictability of their resource usage in terms of staff and servers.
I think you are definitely correct here. However, you are overlooking the actual main goal of every business - making as much money as possible.

I haven’t been using kagi long enough to really understand how it works yet, but it’s my understanding that they want you to pay every month, even if you had remaining searches from the previous month.
If I pay $5 for 300 searches, why does it matter if I do them within a time frame? When someone isn’t’ searching, they aren’t really costing Kagi anything.
Alternatively, let people pay 1.6 cents per search (or 1.8 cents or something).

I feel like their pricing would make more sense if you could just pay for your usage, rather than forcing a subscription

- Comment on Why do I feel sick every time I go out to eat with my gf? 1 month ago:
I have a similar issue sometimes. I feel like I get overstimulated by smells in restaurants… Also I’m lazy so I eat boring food at home, so maybe the variety contributes to the nausea.
Also I’m celiac, which definitely doesn’t help.

- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Continue To Crater With Massive 42% Revenue Drop - Slashdot 3 months ago:
Ya I’ve considered that route.
I’ve messed around with switch emulation on more powerful hardware, but for the simplicity of getting things workings I think I prefer the official console. The performance I had I my PC was not outstanding either.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Continue To Crater With Massive 42% Revenue Drop - Slashdot 3 months ago:
Fair - I’d be surprised if they haven’t already been working on a ps6 for years though.
In my mind Nintendo is going to be more or less immune to the death of the console market. They did have done a really, really good job at making fun games since the 80s, and have also traditionally had the cheapest hardware (not that that will matter if the competition goes away). I might impulsively buy whatever Nintendo’s next console is just for Zelda or Metroid, even though Nintendo as a company pisses me off.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Continue To Crater With Massive 42% Revenue Drop - Slashdot 3 months ago:
Possibly. I can see Xbox backing out personally, and just putting their games on PC and the other consoles.
Sony will probably carry on… and Nintendo likely has a detailed business plan for the next 100 years.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Continue To Crater With Massive 42% Revenue Drop - Slashdot 3 months ago:
Instead, I think they’re just about to ~change~ end the console market as we know it.
FTFY

I was a heavy Xbox user up until last year when they redesigned the Xbox home screen.
Instead of being able to pin multiple groups of custom apps/games wherever you want, you now only get one group pinned about halfway down the page past several rows of ads. There are generally at least 5 separate rows of ads on the homescreen at all times.
I have a series x (also had an original, 360, and one), and will 100% not be buying another console from Microsoft. The joy of using my expensive console was ruined by ads.
I need to finish Elden Ring, after which my Xbox will be used as a steaming device for videos from my PC or Kodi exclusively.
