I would just say video games haven’t really increased, in fact they are lower in price compared to inflation. A new nes game could cost $60, on average people spent $40. That’s like $160 today, and new games are half that. And the NES was 180, which is which is about 500 today, so console prices have staid stagnant.

All depends how it’s done. I just started play Yakuza games last year. Started with Yakuza 0, which felt pretty good. Yakuza Kiwami, a remake of the original, felt pretty much exactly the same as Yakuza 0, which is a pretty good update from a game from 2005. Just started Yakuza Kiwami 2, and that jump is insane. It’s…

Yeah, not like my engineering knowledge or a nurse, or a teacher, or an electrician, or a.... Get the f outta here with that bs

Annd she's resigning. All hail letuce head!

So, old game I just finished for the first time then going to the next game experience. Just finished Yakuza Kiwami on PS5. Great experience, 60 fps. Started Yakuza Kiwami 2 on PS5 yesterday, learned it was at 30 fps. The graphica were better but it totally sucked to play for the first 5 minutes. So, went to PC to…

As a fan of Rick and Morty, but not one of those assholes who went crazy over the Szechuan sauce (and never would), I feel a little better knowing anything weird and short supply that McDonald’s does, people will go crazy over, not just neckbeards...

To be fair, MASH was 11 seasons and the Korean war was 3 years. So every episode, which did usually take place overall severall days, could only take an average of 4.4 days per year. And I love MASH and is universally acclaimed.

Same with Running Man. I like the movie a lot, but it’s so barely loosely based on the book, that a new movie could be made based on the book, and people wouldn’t think it had much to do with the existing movie.

So, when I first played Dark Souls, I used a wiki and it really let me fly through it much faster, as it taught me the moves. Then I lost interest. I figured out these games aren’t for me, or any game that requires a wiki or a time sink to lewrn. I love the concept of Stardew valley and terraria, but as I get older…

I would say yes. As someone under 50 by over a decade, I never had the intention to get a second booster till the fall, for multiple reasons.

What kind of payout does an indie get for a Gamepass game? Just wondering, since it was like 7 years of his work.

They’ll never be able to prove it or will they go after anyone. So many people qualify, they’ll never check it. Since weight is one of the things, you can say you had a BMI over 25 at the time of the shot.

89% of adults qualify for the booster. High risk job? You can get it. BMI over 25? You can get it. Smoker or current smoker? You can get it. Suffer from mental illness, like depression? You can get it.

If you’re an EE not getting paid for an internship, you made poor decisions on where to work. I was paid for all 3 of my internships back in the mid 00's at three different companies, and I think we pay our interns now at like $22/hr. And we aren’t some big tech company, just consulting engineering.

This makes me just happy I’m married and don’t have to think about this at all. It just hurt my brain.

What study was used? Also, the two studies that did show any benefit have been pulled, as those studies have been shown to be falsified, and basically then made the meta analysis studies bunked. One study, the first introduction was completely plagiarized. And, in both studies, the “scientists” couldn’t produce the…

I feel like this is a huge misconception. I built my current machine 5 years ago, and then just recently upgraded my graphics card. That’s it, no other upgrades or time invested into researching stuff. And I can run basically anything at 1440p at 60 Hz.

This is such BS. In my freshman year of college in electrical engineer, circa 2003, we had to do a freshman design project, simple idea and proof of concept. Ours was on speakers on a wi-fi network you can cast to. I’m not saying we own that idea in any sense. It’s such an obvious idea that a bunch of 19 year olds…

There is definitely something to be said to how cheaply done newer construction is. I went from a 1400 sq ft. townhouse built in the early 2000s to a 3000 sq. ft. singe family built in the 70s, and my energy bills went DOWN, it just so much better insulated.

Yeah, I’m an electrical engineer, so also very lucky. And, since it’s a part of our industry, I know electronics and coding to help make our jobs for efficient. Our work hasn’t slowed down at all and we are full work from home. The class gap was always large, but it’s even so much more obvious now, with people like me…
