Thanks!  At least I understand this now.  I’m unsure if I agree with it or not (I need to research #s), but I understand the argument now.

Ok I can get behind this if you’re saying the News is so important they need subsidizing and we’re going to do that with a link tax.

I used to think the same thing. Why all the stupid ads when nobody clicks them?
Someone told me one big reason is it just helps build brand recognition in your brain, so next time you need to shop for something and you see a brand you’ve heard of then you’re WAY MORE LIKELY to buy from them instead of a company you’ve…

While this isn’t great, its a lot better then every company shoving a cookie on me and then selliing that data to 100 other people......IF google can be trusted (and they cant)

Real question? Why did news sites fight for this?

Its a hard line to figure. On one hand a lot of Tarkov stuff shouldn’t be hidden, like Ammo Stats. Tarkov has 10 different slugs for the 12 gauge shotguns. How the hell are you supposed to figure out the what’s different without datamining?

Right?! I have some basic DYI skills and I would NEVER cut a hole into my exterior wall.
Why? The penalty for error is just too darn high. If you screw up the measurements or picked an unlucky spot you’ve just created a HUGE project.

This is what I always recommend to a beginner.  Maybe next time you try building it yourself and taking it to the store if you get stuck, but there’s no downside to just letting a shop put the pieces in for you.

Some good things in here but it still doesnt fix the core issue (that they’re looking into). Using crappy skills to slowly build resources just so you can use the cool skills is boring design.

You’re right! An RPG is story focused. Cinematics are part of the process!

Amazing! I’m past the point where I’m happy a game took 60 hours to finish the main story.
On the flipside I’m sad if I finish a game in under 20 hours.

I had a oops moment recently with my 8 year old. She came to me and asked how dogs had sex. My brain went “ooh micro moment!”.
“Sure Kid, we’ll pull up a yt video!”. proceeds to google “dog sex” and then rapidly closed the window when I realized what those search results were going to be.

I didn’t have a problem canceling mine when I’ve wanted to.

As someone who’s pro streamer, I agree with this comment. This guy hit adulthood as a streamer and has never had to work 40 hours a week to pay rent. I work 40-60 hours a week and that’s just normal for 90% of us.

For a little more data on that 20% claim.

In regards to the right place to find an answer to something, thats 100% sure. Trash Websites have gotten so good at SEO that it’s ruined things like google.

Obligatory uninformed about income tax person  “BUT BUT If I made more $, i’d get pushed into a higher tax bracket and I’d actually make less!”

Huh, a sliding scale actually makes a lot of sense.  I’d would boost those figures up a bunch, but its a good idea!

a 15-30 second delay isn’t an option on a “live” stream platform that is about interacting with viewers.  Sure it works for the mega streamers who have chat flying by, but small streamers survive based on their chat interaction.

Thanks!  I flagged all this dudes stuff yesterday (first time i’ve ever reported anyone!) and came back today to see if he was still unhinged.  Looks like you took care of business! A+
