In the US if you’re a white woman in cuffs they aren’t coming off. This is because you likely committed multiple felonies on film to even get put in handcuffs.

It’s not that crazy honestly. Fruit trees take even longer.

It’s extremely low maintenance once it establishes though which is nice.

Starship trooper is a knock off halo movie that’s more accurate to the franchise than the series.
- Comment on Charging to tour rental properties... 2 weeks ago:
The price at all is ridiculous. Touring a rental is a sales action. Yes you have to pay for someone to administer a tour, but that’s a cost of doing business. It’s also weird because you generally don’t pay to tour homes for purchase.

It’s called the superior state.

There is also evidence that an out of court settlement happened between those companies. Notably moving away from cerebrates in SC2.

Cross platform games aren’t a buggy mess, everyone else has figured it out. Nintendo could do it as well.
- Comment on "Bringing your games to other platforms is how you’re going to win" - Circana 3 weeks ago:
Nintendo is heavily reliant on physical media and traditional retailers, they aren’t getting anywhere near 100% of most sales. Brick and mortar takes around a 50% cut, Amazon takes a cut as well. Being on Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam isn’t a significant difference in what they would make.

They would still sell a lot of consoles, the super fans are going to buy Nintendo consoles. The people that actually own multiple consoles in the same generation aren’t actually that big of a group, especially compared to non-Nintendo owners that would consider buying a few games if they were available.
- Comment on "Bringing your games to other platforms is how you’re going to win" - Circana 3 weeks ago:
There’s a few titles that have relied on gimmicks that would be difficult or impossible to do on other systems. It would be a temporary learning curve to get games able to support multiple platforms, but everyone else has already done it and Nintendo consoles have been the least powerful systems so it should be easier.
- Comment on "Bringing your games to other platforms is how you’re going to win" - Circana 3 weeks ago:
How many people buy Nintendo for exclusives isn’t super relevant. The important questions are how many more games would they sell if they were multi-platform, and how many fewer consoles they would sell if their games were available elsewhere. They would very likely sell substantially more games, but also likely see a significant reduction in console sales. This would still likely be a win as the games are far higher margin than the consoles.

Booby traps are a felony, so I’d stick to the one that doesn’t add manslaughter.
- Comment on Goddammit, what now? 4 weeks ago:
It’s pretty common with early access that haven’t had updates in a long time, or they “completed” the game with lots of missing or rough content.

A crappy game for a crappy store.
- Comment on 7,818 titles on Steam disclose generative AI usage, or 7% of Steam's total library of 114,126 games, up from ~1,000 titles in April 2024 4 weeks ago:
AI is a meaningless term as weli. It generally has meant cutting edge computer research subjects.

Procedural generation is just an earlier form of AI that’s been demystified and commercialized as a positive thing. The current generative tools aren’t at that level of adoption yet.

It builds indifference to the disclaimer when it’s too general. The California cancer label is a good example.

I’ve seen that as a bit by a comedian before as well.

As I’ve become more casual I just stick to dubbed anime titles. It’s more likely to be something decent and avoids some of the more egregious problematic tropes of the genre.

Part of that is a legal issue. People over 40 are a protected class, you can’t discriminate against old people for being old. Young people can get fucked though.

There’s a lot of people that think 95% of what they paid is a good discount.
If you actually want to sell something mark it at 50% of retail, because that’s the area most things are worth.

I gave up on marketplaces years ago after looking for a reasonably priced PS3. The number of people who thought their original model with 7 Madden games was worth $500 was absurd.

In the offerers defense that is probably a price at or above current retail for a product with massive deprecation and in moderate to good condition.
