I had that for a bit. Felt about as good as you’d think (pretty good). Directly helping (like with your labour) still feels better, though.

Please, this is too many made-up stereotypes in one comment. Think about what you’re really saying, like your core thesis, and investigate that.

When it was released in 1993, Doom — which was developed for under $1M USD — was earning id software $100k/day immediately upon release, in shareware registrations alone.
It’s no wonder capitalist leeches saw those returns and wanted to insert themselves in the process. Of course the more who latch on, the more value they need to extract by screwing over both the devs and the players.
Obviously the devs and players are actually the only two groups who are necessary in this relationship, and they’re the ones getting soaked.
PS by “devs” I mean anyone who works on the game to make it better.

Okay so it’s maybe 45 to 50 per cent half-life 3.

Not really.

But it was the third complete half-life game. I havent played it (no interest in owning vr kit) and even I take this view.

Premise is a bit silly isn’t it? Everyone talks about games nowadays, and progressive / woke themes are very popular, especially in the indie space.

Maybe we’re in different spaces, but those kinds of sexist posts don’t usually do very well / don’t seem to gain much traction.

For me it was vending machine peanuts, because that’s what they had in the swimming pool building

In English we say “hunger makes the best sauce” which startlingly similar.

- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 1 week ago:
It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. Mine was maybe 2 thousand and actually broke even thanks to very generous cash gifts, but even without that it would have been worth it to get all our friends and family under one roof to publicly profess our love.
If you truly love your partner, does a ring and a ceremony really do anything?
Yeah. In the same way that any other shared experience or token does, but this is a very public one that is built up by our cultures and we can imbue with special meaning.
It’s not for everyone, and it can be problematic, but I’m happy I got married and got the magic ring and all that.

That’s what you’d think wouldn’t you? Or if the overall margin is great enough, just eat the difference (pun intended).

Oh dang, he even gave Windows the boot.
- Comment on Adobe Creative Curse 3 weeks ago:
It’s also the same reason Microsoft pushed to get Windows in grade schools - even paying for the computers in some cases.
- Comment on Adobe Creative Curse 3 weeks ago:
Damn, that’s awful. Also because I know a few creative people have found it useful - it’s shitty for them.
- Comment on Adobe Creative Curse 3 weeks ago:
I’m not a professional, but I’ve been using Gimp 3, and it works great for my purposes (mostly making memes and weird net art, tbh).
Also Blender is S tier. So good. I even use it to make sprite sheets using 3D models as base.

Valuable cultural artefact (not joking)

I forgive you your autism lol, I was raised very similarly especially because I had three sporty sisters (much sportier than I was).
Everyone should cultivate their own strengths and learn their own weaknesses.
That’s what happens if you remove sex barriers for activities. For instance, most people could not be firefighters regardless of their sex or hormonal makeup. In fact most men do not have what it takes to be a firefighter. But some women do, and more importantly they have the drive and motivation to become good at it.
I’m not even saying there are the same amount of qualified candidates between men and women, but there are enough in both groups that it makes sense not to limit applications along lines of sex or gender.
