It’s hard to see PC gaming having much of a future if every GPU costs 4 figures while consoles stay at three to six hundred dollars. I’m sympathetic to the idea that a gaming PC should cost more than a console since it does more than a console, but $1200 for the cheapest GPU when the highest-tier consoles sell for…

Yeah I’m with you. If the alleged card cheat wasn’t a woman (and in particular an attractive woman playing in a low-cut shirt) there’s no way I or anyone outside of hardcore poker fandom would have ever heard of this.

It’s 30% of all traffic fatalities, per the NHTSA. That’s hardly a “meaningless portion.”

Doctor Quinzel, surely.

Wow, deeply weird that an Ubisoft creative director from back in their rampant sexual harassment wild boy days would have a flagrant yellow peril take. Just curious and curiouser.

Yeah made me way too hard as well. Wait, that is what you said? Right?

I’m legit sad I fought that duel and completed the 6 duel armor quest before they released Lethal mode. It’s not “harder” imo, but it does really feel like a sword fight.

Totally agreed. I’m not a “hard” games person (never got more than half an hour into a soulsbourne) but I’m loving lethal mode.

I think the better option would be something like L1+[d-pad arrow]. That would give us 4 loadouts without costing any of the nice little touches.

That’s how I feel. Even leaving aside damn near $20 for a pre-pandemic movie ticket, it’s still a good $3-5 for a digital movie rental that offers like 2 or so hours of entertainment.

Tempted to use that code on Dragon Quest, but it looks like the European version. I know the Switch is region free, but do you know if I can carry my (U.S. eshop) demo progress over to a European physical copy?

Cabs were profitable because their supply (medallions) and price (meter) was regulated in almost every market. Of course some local governments did that much better than others (NYC famously had nowhere near enough medallions and DC famously overcharged on meters so much that locals negotiated the fare before taking…

Yup, a real apples to apples comparison would be the subsidy/loss per passenger mile traveled. 

Right. That turns them into Avis or Hertz, which already rent out self-driving (from a labor cost perspective) cars as a loss-leader and make their profits from floating on fuel and insurance arbitrage.

The thing is that wouldn’t work either because the market for ride-sharing is super elastic, we’ve seen time and again that people don’t take Uber or Lyft when the price goes up.

Hell yeah. Don't let that bastard win.

Yeah this reads like someone who doesn’t get exactly how far Santa Clara is from San Francisco. On a day where San Francisco is 80 degrees Santa Clara is 97, and you’re sitting in a god-damned oven.

I’m with you. If vanilla Assassin’s Creed Odyssey had half the content I don’t think anyone would complain. After a certain point putting in all those teensy tiny extra missions and contracts isn’t any different from games artificially increasing the need to grind in the bad old days.

It makes no sense whatsoever! We have a lot of evidence now that those greedy players will forgo money to play for a better organization or in a better city, and a hard cap is supposed to stop that...how? By making the shoe money and endorsement deals an even bigger portion of their income?
