These are all very normal things. The joke is that console gamers are normal people, whereas pc gamers are a bunch of hardcore nerds who never wash themselves, never leave home, don't have a job and don't know how to interact with women

I agree with the Israel part.

This reminds me of that vsauce video where he says that trogs exist and they're composed of a tree and whichever dog happens to be closest to it

Paid startpage, basically?

Very interesting. Too bad it gives really bad results.

Searching for "pokemon" doesn't show in the first page of results

• the official website

• the wikipedia page

Instead it shows a bunch of random websites that mention the term including this wepage straight out of the year 2000: http://dvdmg.com/pokemon.shtml

As a second search I tried searching for "best fallout for mods" and its first result was some unrelated meta topic (discussing ai generated content) which happened to use the expression "is this the fallout of [action/event]?".

Then all of youtube is niche except maybe mrbeast

"Niche"

Sometimes they're cheaper than launch price? Or you may get exclusive cosmetics? Idk

(Not saying it's worth it)

Probably the fairphone

Wait this isn't standard practice in the rest of the world???¿???

Thanks for the context but

I feel like price for the one time purchase is set deliberately high because they want people to actually pay for the subscription instead. If their goal really was to make their products more accessible, just allow people to pay in installments and take some recurring interest fees for the financing.

And, in any case, the product should work no matter whether I'm late with the monthly fee or not. That's just bullshit.
