So then $200 isn’t that crazy. If you avg across cars and trucks avg. tanks is what? 14 gallons? fill that up once a week you are at 728 gallons so that gives you about the equivalent gas use. multiply by the tax and you’re at $145 or so in gas equivalent. Tinker with numbers to match the real world avg tank size and…

Also - from someone who works in advertising here - most people would be shocked at what ad placements actually cost. Even with programmatic digital targeting it all cost more than you’d expect. And if you start adding print, video or out of home (advertising in public spaces) it can add up quick. and that doesn’t…

I think competitors are underestimating one of the big drivers for many (and me). The thing basically functions like a console. It opens to a dashboard with my games and the store easy to browse. I got it because my laptop is basic and not made for gaming, its portable for a lot of travel and it functions simply, like…

“Nobody talks about it, nobody plays it; the game is only available on PC, yet isn’t on Steam”

Not a fan boy - I have both - but I also don’t see how this is a monopoly because a particular game might be on one system and not another. Especially when argued by Sony who has made this the basis of their entire console strategy. And if they feel not having CoD somehow tanks their console business then they have a…

Is it Microsoft’s fault the PS+ stuff kinda sucks by comparison? There is competition - just other offerings are markedly worse - and I subscribe to both at some level. Nothing PS+ has makes going up in tiers worth the cost. 

Seems like a lot of money for a 30+ WR with injury issues. If I were a Ravens fan I’d be ticked. Pay Lamar!!!

retouching for basic color correction, to remove a blemish or stray wavy bit of unruly hair - yes. retouching to change the shape of someone’s face - no. 

Well I can give him a list of other topics -

I was just going to comment great - can they do it with out making the battery life any worse than it already is

wow that seems to totally miss the point of most handheld use cases. I want a system not an accessory. My steamdeck is for on the go and travel - often when I don’t have wifi access. A streaming device isn’t what a lot of people want in a handled. And I can stream play both xbox and ps with a phone so I am not sure…

Having read the Terminal List - the show was rather disappointing.

My 11 year old Ford Escape has remote start - from a key fob that is 100% - with no subscriptions, apps, cell data etc. I think car makers have so overcomplicated things in the name of infinite growth and the hopes they can turn cars in to subscription platforms. I’ve thought about a new car a few times the last few…

The only way it would make sense is if it wasn’t what we have come to know as NFTs as an investment scam - but it were used so that rare pokemon you unlock in one game could carry to the next - however even then there are simpler and better ways to do that without NFTs. Plus if I start the next game with all the…

Its not weird - its how its supposed to be when you collect. Get the items that bring you joy. Dont obsess over value, investments and resales - just get what makes you happy and display it proudly. This applies to whatever - hot wheels, cards, patches, spoons, figures etc. 

I’ve seen several of these - well nearly half. And some i thought were pretty good. None of them I think I’d call oscar worthy or an oscar snub. I have a feeling that applies to the whole list given the reviews and general response to most of these.

A simple solution would have been - have a trophy for both the season standings (goes to the boys team since the elite girls team was ineligible for the rec league) and a tournament trophy that went to the girls team for winning the tourney.

This is such an interesting idea for a game - that looks like a ok but not great game. It would be nice if studios could realize those things and what is meh at$70 is pretty damn fun at $30. Maybe when it gets to that price I’ll give it a try. It doesn’t surprise me the fallout has been to reabsorb the studio into the…

It’s only worth a lot if some will actually give you money for it. From Beanie Babies to Pops - that value only counts if you can actually sell it.

To be fair though - why would you stream if you know it is just going result in grief?
