It is available on SE

“And like, it’s just another store download. It’s not like you need to buy a new system. This complaint about Epic is so fucking weird to me. “Oh no, I have to download another small program and there might be a modicum of competition with Steam on PC. The HORROR!”

Does Epic have any actual exclusives, or just timed ones? (apart from games they actually make, of course).

Lemme play devil’s advocate for a sec. In a perfect distribution system (a lottery) where the only people getting PS5's are enthusiastic end-users, supply would still be hopelessly insufficient and the product unavailable for sale.

Scalpers/Resellers are adding value by setting prices that reduce demand. I can’t go to…

“Essentially every business resells their products,” said Jordan. “Tesco, for example, buys milk from farmers for 26p or so per litre and sells it on for upwards of 70p per litre. No one ever seems to complain to the extent as they are currently doing towards ourselves.”

The milk wholesaler adds value by making the milk much easier for consumers to get. It gets the milk from farms all over the place and moves it to a convenient marketplace. They earn their markup by adding value.

Regan also claimed that he personally, and the scalper group as a whole, regularly donate to charity, including giving most of their monthly membership fees to a local food bank.

Yea, I got enough shit to worry about in my life without needing to experience the anxiety of running between treasure chests worried I’m about to get hit any moment by a fight I don’t have the items to recover from. 

Moving beyond random battles is always a good move for a JRPG. I remember Chrono Trigger going with the “nearing the enemies on the screen initiates combat” model and finding it so much better than the SNES Final Fantasy games’ seemingly endless random battles. It creates a better and less frustrating flow to the…

Frankly astonished by some of the responses here dismissing this as stuff they “already knew” or that it’s unnecessary. How brainwashed are you that your first response to a report about CDPR treating their people like shit is “eh, I already knew that”? How can it be anything but good that these assholes are getting…

i keep reading people talking about how empty or dead the world feels, and I just don’t get it. there are so many incredible little details I’ve found scattered around the world. I’ve seen people in some missions, only to find lore about them in gigs hours and hours laters. I did a mission where I had to deliver a car…

God I hope this thread doesn’t become a shitshow. Here goes:

it says it’s two way filtered.

I want a full panel of LEDs across the front of the mask and sensors on the inside for mouth movement. Then let me download customized "mouths" that appear on the LEDs and match what my mouth is doing.

“Yes, Mr. Principal, I understand that my child threw a truly horrific tantrum at the school, assaulted a teacher, smeared his feces on the wall, and attempted to burn the building down. But, the school-year ends in nine days! Do you really think it’s necessary to punish him at this point?”

Yeah! I’d love to buy one so I could wear it around my granny, who is hard of hearing and needs to read lips. And they look hyper cool

Thing is, the translucency isn’t that bad of an idea. My company actually special ordered a number of clear, hard plastic masks for people whose colleagues need to be able to read their lips. (Of course those were far less fancy and not tinted, but even so.)

When I was a kid cheat codes were printed in magazines made from dead trees.

It prevents him from receiving Secret Service protection and presidential salary and keeps him from trying to run for office again. There are a lot of good reasons for this.

Becuase it’s not their job. That's the equivalent of blaming chevy when you wreck your vette driving 100+ in town. A tool is provided (the OS), what is done with it is up to the end user.
