The cut off “listen here” at the bottom took it past the edge of believability for me, but up to that point I was like 50/50 haha.

What? Like… in any language they’re still all bristles on a handle.
They’re all brushes my dude.
Finally a use for AI I can approve of.
I think there’s a very clear and distinctive difference between an upfront, honest cost for a content pack; and breaking that content pack into itty bitty bits and charging for each.
The latter has an obvious goal of obfuscating the total cost of the content pack, so as to inflate it past what their market research indicates people would normally be willing to pay.
It’s dishonest and anti-consumer, and it’s foolish as the consumer not to push back against this practice before it becomes normal.
Fun fact: when you need to resort to hyperbole it’s a good indicator that your position may not have merit.
It’s funny how people will chant “vote with your wallet” but when someone votes against business practices they don’t agree with using their wallet they’re all surprised pikachu about it.
Charging per quest in a micro transaction scheme (which isn’t really micro at a $10 entry fee) is shitty and I don’t want to support it by pumping their gameplay numbers right after announcing it.
Damn, I was just thinking of giving SF another shot. Guess it wasn’t meant to be.
Strategic voting is a direct result of first past the post voting; effectively any system that uses FPTP will result in a two party system where your vote gets used against the other person not for your choice.
I’ll continue to shill for ranked choice voting whenever I see any opportunity.
No way, I make my living typing; I am very very careful about this and I’ve been super successful. Only three fingers lost.
My dad always told me that life begins at 30.
I turn 40 this year, and I really agree with him. The first three decades were just awkwardly fumbling around and getting nothing done because I was a dumbass. The last ten years I really got it together and I feel comfortable with myself for the first time ever.
The studies may be recent, but what they represent is not. I doubt anyone is surprised by this.
