- Comment on When people die in wildfires, is it that the fire spread too fast for people to mobilise escape? Or more that people were delayed leaving? 1 hour ago:
Evacuation is always proscribed
Proscribed means it’s banned

By the time the PS1 came out, lots of people already had CD players though. They weren’t cheap, but they weren’t crazy expensive either. DVD and Blu-Ray were in their infancy as the consoles were released, and they were the cheapest options available for playing them.
That’s a pretty big boost for console ownership.

PS2 was a cheap DVD player, PS3 was a cheap Blu-Ray player, but your point stands.

That’s the trading value of his companies that tanked though, not money spent.
He never had a trillion actual dollars.
- Comment on Every fucking time 1 week ago:
There’s a lot of time and money spent analyzing where to put things to maximize customer spending. It’s why milk and eggs are usually at the back of the store, so that you have to walk through the entire store to get them, and you may find something else to buy on the way there. It’s also why “low-interest” items like international foods get put together in their own low-traffic aisle.

That’s what Disney lawyers argued. I don’t think it actually worked out for them, but I may be wrong.

I can wait. I’ll pick it up on a Summer Sale or something when it’s 90% off.
- Comment on Am I just bad at games??? 2 weeks ago:
I have no bad words about the game, other than the fact that it takes 10 minutes (I timed it) to go from not yet opening the game, to get to a title screen. It also crashes pretty regularly. Meaning you gotta wait 10 minutes AGAIN.
I just started up the game now and it 20 seconds to load into the title screen and then less than 3 seconds to load into a saved game. It sounds like you have some other issue causing the slow loading.
According to howlongtobeat.com, a leisurely pace takes about 28 hours to beat it. If you’re particularly slow, you could probably take a good amount of time more. That doesn’t mean you’re bad at games though, especially since this type of game can be played very slowly since it’s turn-based and there’s nothing pushing you to play fast.
Play at whatever pace it takes you to enjoy whatever it is you’re playing. As long as you’re having fun, you’re doing it right.

Because most of the world is already on WhatsApp, and changing to Signal would isolate you from most people and businesses.

I’m pretty sure Guillemot was a sociopath. There are many people whose deaths I would feel bad for, but he’s not one of them.

Agreed, they deserve to know.

Yes, causing harm to thousands of people is significantly worse than one person dying in a crash.

Part of the 0.01%, made absurd amounts of money making games worse, heading a company actively fighting against unionisation.

I still think that’s fine. Sometimes the world is better off when someone dies.

Meh, I don’t wish death on anyone, but that doesn’t mean I have to be sad that a shitty person died.
- Comment on Jury Refuses to Convict Palestine Activists Over Arms Factory Raid 3 weeks ago:
They didn’t get a verdict at all, which I think is the issue. It would have been great if they actually got a not guilty verdict, at which point I don’t think they could be retried.

Why do that when they can re-release the same game for 15 years instead?
