Totally agree. And often Battle Pass skins/costumes in these games are limited to that pass only, so if you miss it, you’re out of luck. And that just doesn’t feel good, imo.

These waivers generally explicitly include injury due to negligence, too, so I doubt that would hold up.

I totally get what you mean. I was just arguing that an important distinction in the comparison between this and LoL is that, for OW1 players, this is a fundamental change in the monetization system which has added any aspect of P2W mechanics for the first time. Where people who came to LoL were already signed on for…

Honestly, don’t pay for anything with cash apps, period.

The significant part here is the fundamental way OW changed. OW1 made every hero available, so RMT was solely cosmetic.

Because they get clicks, which translates into revenue.

HA, sucker.

I mean, I’ll be fair and note that the advancement in tech (for home computers and consoles) between Morrowind and Skyrim was FAR larger than it was from Skyrim to now.

The main story actually isn’t that long, and battles don’t really get that hard or long until higher difficulties.

We definitely have a “just get over it” culture that can make therapy SUPER useful for this piece. Because, even if we have supportive people in our lives, people mostly just don’t know how to engage and support around depression (especially when it’s linked to an event which is no longer “present” for them).

That’s my problem, though - it’s not that there’s something a bit off about Jack in the start. It’s that I’d 10000% believe that guy went home and axe murdered his family in their apartment, right after the job interview, without the influence of the haunted hotel.

I have NEVER understand the Shelley Duvall hate for The Shining. I always thought she gave the best performance of the bunch, tbh.

The one caveat I want to make here is that having some flexibility is important, but you shouldn’t be flexible about the end goal of independent inspection.

Yeah, this is what it is. This article isn’t saying that investments don’t constitute passive income, they’re saying that the way financial advice industry has started using “passive income” as a buzz word is, at best, stretching the truth and, at worst, an outright lie.

I totally get what you are saying, and I don’t disagree with you about horrible downstream effects of RvW decision, but this isn’t that imo

You have, actually. You’ve signed a waiver for every single prescription medication you ever received - at the pharmacy, when you picked it up.

There are power dynamics at play here, to be fair. I’m not entirely interested in the conversation of whether or not “manipulated” is the right word, but I do think it’s fair to consider the ways in which someone who is rich, famous, and sexualized/glamourized in media has over someone who is only 23.

I literally do not care - the minute people who felt connected as fans of someone’s work starts haranguing (at best - the worst has been far more disgusting) the loved ones of the departed because they feel put out for not being top of mind?

It’s legitimately only confusing to see other sites put up articles first if you’re utterly bereft of empathy (or just downright refusing to apply it in this situation).

Hey, asshole, his comment wasn’t a place for you to “Um, actually” his fucking grief. Let them be.
