Gotcha. Our three were all about the same, once they started sleeping through the night they were about 8p-7a sleepers until around 4 years old when we moved bedtime back.

So it sounds like you traded early respite at night for some peace in the morning. I’m not sure which is better... being able to collapse into the…

Wait, your 2yo sleeps until NINE? What sort of witchcraft is this! We’re on our third, and we’re lucky if he stays asleep until 7. Today it was 6:20.

Very valid points. I’d agree with you that Steam has to worry more about new gamers having more store/launcher/library options now when starting with PC gaming than we did 10-15 years ago, than about Epic (or any other store) simply “undercutting them” by taking a smaller percentage of the sale. If those stats you…

Nope, I didn’t take offense! I was just was clarifying that if someone comments on an article about the Epic store vs Steam, heavily implies a stance about the Epic store vs Steam, and I ask specifically for supporting evidence about the Epic store vs Steam... I probably am interested in talking about the Epic store…

I’m not sure how anything outside of Steam/Epic comes into the conversation here. I’m wondering about OP’s claim that Epic specifically was eroding Steam. Neither he nor I mentioned anything about League, PUBG, mobile, or any other game launcher. He said that Epic’s store, by way of taking a smaller cut of sales, was…

Please read further before responding. The OP and I already had a great mature exchange that you didn’t bother to read. Thanks!

Yes, this is as silly as developers demanding that users/players/customers refer to their software or elements of it in the way they want. If I put in a system that I wanted to be called EF, but users call it EFS... then that’s what it is. Once it is adopted into the users’ vernacular, and has a clear meaning for the…

Stalker + Fan. Slightly darker than simply fanatic.

This is excellent kinja.

What even IS the use case for those kind of speeds on mobile devices in the foreseeable future? Besides streaming 4k video, which like you said is overkill for tiny phone screens, what sort of data needs to be consumed so quickly on the go?

What statistics/evidence support your take that Steam will be “slowly eroded” by these exclusive games? I’m not saying you’re wrong, but there are thousands upon thousands of games on the Steam store along with associated DLC, and Epic has only had (from what I’ve read) a handful of high-ish profile titles on their…

Yeah, this thing is not his “baby”. Look at those brake calipers as well. Those have not been so much as sprayed off in the life of the car. I mean, at some point you’ve got your wheels off to rotate or something. Take a rag to them at least.

No problem, no need to continue. I missed a single key word - CCGs are quite a bit *more* reliant on RNG when skill is equal.

Getting lucky on the river is still a single layer RNG. It’s a card draw just like cards dealt to each players’ hand. Once the draw comes down, it’s done - that is the card. You can bluff before either player sees the card, but that’s not what we’re discussing. We’re discussing the fact that there is an added level of…

You can argue semantics, but in this context you and I both know that luck is the antithesis of skill. When you play a card that deals 7 damage to a random enemy on the board, there is the possibility that it kills a weak 1 mana card, or it wipes out a strong 8 mana card (random example from the top of my head, I have…

No worries, it’s the internet. And Kinja to be more specific, which lends itself to that sort of exchange :)

I guess it makes sense in your circumstance, given that you say it was well above and beyond and there was a very specifc, quantifiable savings you could point to. That definitely sounds like an outlier from say…

If I was good enough with a wrench to maintain three six figure cars that are over a decade old... I’m in the wrong profession :)

It’s mileage.  Only one is worth over 10k.

Interesting take. I can’t say I’ve ever heard that in my career, from anyone I’ve worked with or known that has a white collar position. I’ve never seen a job posting for a non-sales position that includes any type of merit-based bonuses outside of it being part of the calculation for a year-end bonus either. A…

Yep. I have three vehicles: 2006 (101k), 2006 (163k), and 2008 (131k). Two of them were class leading at the time, and have plenty of safety features like ABS, traction control, stability control, side and curtain airbags, etc. They run fine, they drive fine, they look fine, they get decent mileage, and I can fix them…

When I consistently exceed expectations, I expect my annual reviews to reflect this, resulting in a promotion after I’ve proved that out over a long enough period of time.
