I hate that games started designing around microtransactions. Like who thought “hey let’s take the worst parts of MMOs and put them into single player”. I loved AC origins and was so looking forward to odyssey and then I just bounced off it within a few hours because so much of it just felt like doing chores.

Nothing says freedom like forced conformity and rigid adherence to authoritarian power structures!

Make mac and cheese with your leftover hot dog water if the desert you’re in only has macaroni and hot dogs instead of eggs and potatoes.

Your anger about the people that are upset by this is way more irrational than the anger of those people. Like it literally doesn’t affect you at all if people stop playing the game.

Chips challenge had a windows 95 version and it looked almost identical to the rodent game you said you remembered.

This is why I clarify EVERYTHING. I’m sure it gets annoying to people some times but my Brain sees every possible ambiguity usually and I need to make sure even if I’m 99% sure that it’s one way over the other.

Lmao I’ve read all these threads and you’re the one moving the goalposts and doing the most “Well akshaully” stuff in here.

Lmao is this in response to the guy who gets infuriated by people saying ‘I hope you’re doing well’ in emails?

Is this your band or something? Because I just listened to a bunch of songs and while it’s… fine? Lo fi garage rock, it is really nothing similar or on the same level as king gizzard? Just an all around strange recommendation.

You said nothing is really free.

I thought this was about being legit colorblind for a minute.

The only reason I think I get it is because I just saw a post above this about a senate staffer being caught filming a gay porn video in the senate chamber. I assume buss is supposed to mean ‘bussy’. Seems like a stretch though

Right so in that scenario that measurment makes sense but for the average person in their day to day life it’s much less useful. And my car doesn’t have a fancy computer that tells me the efficiency. Or measure in accurate increments how much fuel is in the tank. So if I wanted to know how efficient my engine is, the best way to do it would be start on empty, add a liter of fuel, and see how far I could drive it, which is probably why and how that measurement became commonplace. Because cars have been around alot longer than computers.

I’m not even American but this is way less intuitive for everyday use. I don’t need some abstract measure of how efficient my car is being. My fuel tank is measured in liters, when I fill up i pay by the liter, I want to know how far I can go on x liters. Not have to do a bunch of mental math to reverse the equation for my gas tank with 40 liters in it. I have 40l, I can go x*40 km. Mental multiplication is way easier than mental division.

Well that’s a pretty specific use case, I’ve only ever met one person with a foldable phone. But yeah they should probably fix that.

Ublock is so good at being 'set and forgettable I’ve gone beyond just suggesting it to friends and family who aren’t very tech literate, and just installed it for them. I’m sure I can’t be the only one. But these people would likely go straight back to consuming ads rather than try to figure out why their ad blocker stopped working. That’s sad but it’s true.

I’ve never had a single issue with Firefox for Android and I’ve run it on all my phones for like 6-7years at least, probably more but I don’t remember.

Or if you’re a girl just hot pocket it.

What game?

Yeah it has quite a bit of caffeine, and other alkaloids that I find balance it out much better than coffee. It’s very smooth stimulation, not jittery like coffee can be. Full of antioxidants too for some nice health benefits.
