Why do people keep buying this shit?
You don’t have to leave your house. $50 aint much to a lot of people, even those making minimum wage in a lot of cases. People have way more disposable income in this country than they let on, there’s always ways to minimize expenses. Housing costs are probably the biggest costs for me, and that could be split four or five ways if I really wanted to save money (but i’d rather spend thousands of dollars a month to not deal with other people.)
My brother routinely takes a ride share service to mcdonalds with his wife, they eat, then they go back in another rideshare. it’s still cheaper, and the food is always fresh, and the rewards you get from app rewards programs are honestly pretty good when you game the system.

I think between the tip and fees, it would be closer to $18 or so.
The fees are insane, they triple dip the one sided negotiation.

- Comment on Downdetector, Speedtest sold to IT service-provider Accenture in $1.2B deal 3 weeks ago:
I actually sat through a pitch for downdetector. They have an enterprise product that shows historical data and trends. You have to pay per service monitored, it was wild.
Expect these to be put fully behind paywalls or some other privacy invading method to maximize value extraction. They use tools to gather outage info from all kinds of sources on social media, not their websites so they don’t rely on user reports as much as some might think.

- Comment on 'We Thought It Would Be Fun': Nintendo Has a Whole FAQ on Why It's Selling Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Separately for $20 Each - IGN 5 weeks ago:
As much as I think nintendo and the pokemon company are evil shits, I do believe overall pokemon go was net positive for humanity.
The physical health benefit from all those people walking around, and the mental health benefits from said populations being more social and friendly with others won’t ever show a statistic for lives saved, but I think it’s reasonable to assume lives will be saved from extra exercise and positive social interactions.

It would be really nice to have extreme endgame goals of watering the entire map, eliminating badwater that is unmanaged, storing a couple of years’ worth of water consumption, etc etc.
I will say I don’t even bother dealing with their inter-zone logistics too. I just make one big zone for the whole map and suffer through the long travel times. Makes so much of it infinitely easier to deal with. I don’t have these multi-thousand-beaver saves though like some folks do though, so maybe it changes at that scale.

It’s all about getting over the hump, once you’re set and don’t worry about floods or droughts there’s just no challenge to overcome or objective to attain. Becomes a sandbox really long before you get to the end of tech.
- Comment on Day 567 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
I haven’t tried 4 yet. I’ve never really been obsessed and the groups I used to play through the originals with are long gone in terms of availability to play together and push through. Maybe it’s just my demographic and the realities of being an adult setting in. I’ll pick it up eventually though, probably in some kind of crazy deal once all the DLC is done and included like I did with 3.
I still miss the rare gun grinds for BL2 and the amazing builds. Peak borderlands for me for sure. Didn’t touch the spinoff(s) or most of the DLCs over the years simply because the only way to get my friend circles on board is playing around release time when hype is strong.
Next up is Nioh 3 though, with a satisfactory play through ongoing. So many amazing games nowadays. Borderlands pioneered a lot of combined systems that exist in these games. Satisfactory has it’s own roulette with hard drives. Nioh is absolutely going hard with the looter… martial arts…action and super abilities from the yokai side. Nothing but love for the BL franchise. I still remember them handing out the psycho class at pax east, back when giveaways actually happened for the masses at expos.
- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 1 month ago:
I basically refuse to pay more than $50 for a game.
The outer wilds had some good press but by the time I was interested it was given away for free. Guessing that’ll be the case here too.

Pre-sequel was always tough for me to play through. Just never clicked like past or future titles did.
Was easy to push through borderlands 3. 2 was amazing system upgrades and a ton of fun. 1 was the first of its kind so incredibly addicting.

If you can’t hear a very clear loud squeaky fart sound, you need to turn up the volume and tune out the extremely loud person talking with your brain.
It’s there. Right when the blonde looks down at him.
- Comment on Steam Owner Valve Faces $900 Million Lawsuit Over PC Monopoly Claims, Following UK Tribunal Ruling - IGN 1 month ago:
There’s nothing that says game developers can’t allow add-ons to be installed from third party stores. Already works that way with games like Gratuitous Space Battles. I’ve bought the expansions on third party stores and simply put the zips or whatever in the relevant game folder.
I don’t know if something has changed since that game, but I don’t see addons sold by 3rd parties as a popular avenue for consumers simply because you have to then manually manage it.

- Comment on Solargene, a space colony-builder where you can expand on the planets and moons of the solar system (including space stations), with complex, modular building mechanics (with support for Z levels) released on Steam 2 months ago:
It’s like rimworld but implemented in the most janky incomprehensible way possible.
Last I checked you had to manually assign people to bathrooms and each one only took like two or three people. Stuff like that is found in basically every aspect.

So fucking stupid.
They need to provide notice they are coming every single day, and just not show up until they randomly decide to.
365 notices gives you 365 random inspections. If you plan one every single day, they can’t complain you didn’t give notice.
