Oh. Good to know! I was thinking the original Wolfenstein.

If you’re talking about the engineering quote, I actually have the engineers from command and conquer red alert in my head.
However…….commandos is an awesome series as well!!!

Wrong. It’s Turian bone structure.
- Comment on Using iPhone15 in Australia (Verizon) 6 months ago:
I already paid for a coverage plan that lasts a month. It’s a capped high speed data amount and unlimited texts, over 200 minutes of talk time, so I should be plenty covered over there.
- Comment on Using iPhone15 in Australia (Verizon) 6 months ago:
Thank you! I thought it might work that way, but then second guessed myself because it seemed too easy/convenient. Glad that is the case though.
Have a good remainder of your week!

Thank you. So I just need to turn on the data roaming and I should be golden then?

I get what you’re saying, but that’s what it’s called in business. They are usually called “affiliates” more formally, and theyy provide ancillary income to a business. The whole thing is a partnership - I give you traffic and you give me some money if they convert.
Source: am in marketing and that’s just how it works.

Clayface and Bane are highlights.
Alan Tudyk definitely does Joker a service as well.
- Comment on GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour 1 year ago:
Of course I read the article. It specifically says, “… value of the expected entertainment usage, which is to say the per hour value times the number of expected hours plus the terminal value that’s perceived by the customer in ownership, if the title is owned rather than rented or subscribed to…”
I’m beginning to wonder if you read the article. If you think this idea has nothing to do with increasing profits then I have a bridge in the Sahara to sell you.
- Comment on GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour 1 year ago:
Yeah, and I bet they’re affordable. What Strauss is proposing is a massive increase in initial purchase price for those that aren’t paying subscriptions. $70 is borderline affordable for a lot of people as is and that will now be a higher entry price. I’m not in that boat, personally, but I can see how it would be detrimental to the gaming industry as a whole.
Then again, there is the flip side where people are now forced to choose the games they can afford that year even more carefully (1-2 vs 6-7 or more as an example) and if a game fails expectations and someone misses out on something else, then maybe it’ll start putting some shitty developers out of business.
- Comment on GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour 1 year ago:
Cool, so could the makers of the software they use to make these games do the same to them? They should pay them all for the per hour value times the expected hours of development plus the terminal value perceived by expected income from sales! Yes, good business model. Maximize them profits!!!
- Comment on GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour 1 year ago:
Interesting. I wonder how they’d feel if the hardware and software they all used to make these games were charged the same way? Or how about the cars/public transit and roads they take to get to work?
Good idea Strauss.
- Comment on Strikes against automakers spread to 38 locations in 20 states, Stellantis and GM are targeted 1 year ago:
They get kick backs, but they don’t sell that high over MSRP and many people are much more savvy about cost of new/features thanks to Edmunds, Cars dot com, KBB, and dealer incentives to move inventory.
If a dealership is making money on new, you’re not doing your work with car shopping. Most don’t make money from new.
I mean, unless you know something I don’t? My brother in law was in sales for Chevy for a few years so that’s where I get my info from.

Ding ding ding.
Dealerships make money on used cars and parts/repairs. New cars are usually a loss for them

Bullshit.
