Buddy you can buy a 55” TV for less than that, it is utterly ridiculous to even entertain the idea that “less than $350” is a reasonable price for passable audio.

They do, but given everything Purdue’s done I felt it was fitting. Fine as a concept, awful when the sole goal is extracting money.
- Comment on Anon is not satisfied 2 weeks ago:
That feels an awful lot like saying opiates are fine just don’t get addicted. It’s easy to say when you aren’t susceptible, but clearly some people are and it’s not very productive to be dismissive of the primary way they make money.
- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 3 weeks ago:
My only issue has always been that I cannot throw more money at the ape. So I buy the game for gaming-adjacent friends and almost always

Stealing shamelessly from another comment, Stop Ice is a website version that should be a little more secure due to not being an app on your phone.
Fascists are stupid, but lots of sociopathic opportunists aren’t.

You might like the various works of David Hone, a very talented and well spoken paleontologist who talks in depth about how they know what they do know, and gives several examples of poor paleontology and what they’re doing wrong.

“Our software is a bloated mess” is not the defence they think it is.
- Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible 2 months ago:
Reading comprehension, even more challenging than dark souls nowadays eh? No idea what you’re even going on about now, but glad you got your nice rehearsed rant off your chest.
The main souls games have already gotten progressively more and more “””accessible”””, somewhat to the detriment of what originally made them appealing. Options are a mutually preferable alternative - people that enjoyed the original gameplay would still have their torture, or you can play on games journalist difficulty and have basically the same experience as watching someone else play on twitch.

Tell me you never played a soulslike for more than two hours without telling me.
Boss’s weapon moves forward -> press roll, covers about 70% of the souls series.
- Comment on The latest HELLDIVERS 2 update is going to suck away lots of hours and it's discounted 2 months ago:
Unfortunately, the game is only really fun when you’re playing with friends, and we only played a bit before going back to our current “thing”.

Nintendo could make fucking bank if it was easier to actually pay them to play their old games. They have no leg to stand on since I can’t.

You know how sand on the beach is fine, but sand in a super windy dust storm stings like hell? Insulation is fine so long as nobody is actively touching it and spewing out bits. Probably shouldn’t be able to see it but it won’t kill ya.

Conventional economic theory holds that a small, consistent level of inflation is the most beneficial. In short, you don’t want hoarding cash to be a smart long term economic decision, you want more of that money invested/moving in the economy. I recommend reading about the Japanese deflation in the 90s if you’re curious what the effects of even relatively moderate deflation can be.
- Comment on After getting Stardew Valley to 'a good place' with update 1.6, Eric Barone is now fully focused on his next game 2 months ago:
Stardew allows people to achieve their dreams that are unrealistic in the real world, like -
Home ownership
Finding friends and community in a new place
Finding love
Evicting their local walmart and replacing it with a cinema
Escaping the fresh hell of late stage capitalism (or becoming the very worst proponent of it, sometimes somehow both)
- Comment on Cities Skylines 2, Kerbal Space 2, Planet Coaster 2, Frostpunk 2... What Went Wrong? 2 months ago:
I would sub in like maybe Darkest Dungeon 2 over Frostpunk? Less well received but still better than any of the other three. Both were distinct changes of pace, darkest dungeon just sold its soul to the epic games store and lost the bond you formed with characters over a long campaign in exchange for the roguelite shorter runs.

- Comment on Hayden Christensen Teases Return To ‘Star Wars’ Universe In Darth Vader Role: “There’s A Lot Of Rich Stories We Could Still Tell” 3 months ago:
If you accept Disney is absolutely going to continue milking Star Wars no matter what, I think exploring Vader on screen a little more isn’t the worst path they could go down. Lots of interesting Legends material to pull from, as it stands I don’t think we’ve gotten any content around Vader before ANH besides Kenobi and Rebels? I’d be cautiously interested to see how they handled telling a story from his perspective.

But have you considered the other platforms that aren’t GOG suck.
I want things on a platform that is either utterly unobtrusive, or useful. Unfortunately, that means either steam or GOG.

There is a distinct type of person, very good at one thing, that is unable to understand that doesn’t translate to the rest of their life. Easiest to describe them as a high int, low wis character.

One of the few things I go back to the old site for is /r/eatcheapandhealthy - you need the time to make the food, but you can make very little cash go a long way, especially if you’re buying beans/lentils/oats dried and soaking them overnight rather than buying canned.
