Not to say there weren’t issues in that period of time with defunct or broken games. Just that it was more expensive to fix an oops so spending money to make it work right was a necessity.

That active modding and coding communities exist to keep older gamers working into the modern era is reason enough to show people just love games.

I don’t get those two kinds of gamers. You’re paying over $100USD every year to continue to play fundamentally the SAME game. Just that ALL your progress and cosmetics/teams are essentially wiped and you have to spend hundreds of dollars to reacquire them. And they say some games are “too grindy.”

This man pivoted on Trump so hard because he pardoned one guy and acts like forgave Trump for all his sins.

That’s the neat thing, you don’t.
- Comment on Is the gripe against AI the same as CGI when first being used? 1 week ago:
CGI has an evident use to it in such that it can do things that are hard to pull off in real life, even with miniatures. It’s a useful tool from the start.
AI has no real strong use case scenario for that to warrant the amount of money pouring into it. It’s just another scam by silicon valley tech bros to make money.

Realistically it’s not liquid assets like it is for you and me. They purchase items that “appreciate” like land and art, then take loans out using them as collateral to then get them appraised higher to take out another loan to pay off the other one then use the extra for living on. They don’t live on dividends or income, it’s a game of loans that they have a small army of accountants running. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take those assets. Just that it doesn’t translate into immediate cash flows for people.

And require the wholesale slaughter of your fucking workforce. We’re talking that as far as I’m concerned, 70% of us are in poverty compared to what’s available.

Dude was just unhinged and malicious at heart. He wasn’t some libertarian hero, he was a deranged individual who didn’t care if he hared innocent people.

Trump embodies the USA and is the direct result we could only get from our two party system.
- Comment on Are Independents just embarrassed Republicans like Libertarians Apolitical and Moderates? 2 weeks ago:
Some are, but realistically I’m independent. I just have to register as a party to vote in their primary in my state. If I didn’t have to, I wouldn’t.

Happy Cake day! Also yeah, this push in video games to play them optimally sucks. They’re supposed to be fun, a way from work. Not more work.
- Comment on If online services (such as Netflix) only ever raise their prices, does that mean they offer less and less value for money as time passes? 2 weeks ago:
It does, even if they have a long list of things you want to watch, the opportunity cost rises for doing that over saving the money for something else. As well market segmentation removed a lot of various back logs for the different platforms so they have to produce more, newer work to keep interest.

Everyone plays to the meta that unless you’re on your class’ best spec you won’t get in.
- Comment on Anon plays World of Warcraft 2 weeks ago:
This was the state of many RPGs to level up at that time, MMO or not. The more interesting quests or difficult ones came along when you had more kit to use. Though that said, most of WoW’s initial quests available for a while were like that. In BC you started to get bombing runs, more point A to B path finding quests, etc.

Insurance pulls automatically from my account at the end of the month. Didn’t realize the exact time because I haven’t had serious money issues in years until now. Bank account in the red, still need food… Pull from a retirement account to just add a cushion again. This has been a downward trend for years now and it’s only been getting worse no matter who was in charge.

Agreed, if this is true you should not be posting about it at all no matter where it is. It’s best to just keep it quiet because the company at this point can probably get law enforcement involved if they ID the person. The only time a company should know something is going on in this situation your lawyer should already be fully involved.

Live in the USA, it’s not the only reason, but it’s something to consider as well. Thank you for the additional info.

The reason for the decline in birth rates amongst the “developed” nations is because there is no more growth potential for profits for the wealthy past a certain point. So they have to turn inward and eat away at the other classes to get that unsustainable growth they demand. Opportunities have dried up for becoming even just well off so when situations are insecure like that you see a sudden drop in birth rates. They can’t afford children.

The yearly installment games, be it sports, CoD, or similar. How can you have the patience to play essentially the same game again but pay $100+ for it along with a reset of all progress?

Don’t you feel fine having what is essentially a para military forced within the USA whose intention is to protect property and not people at all? I know I sure as shit don’t.
