Makes perfect sense, he’s the straight man who’s constantly surrounded on all sides by chaos and people he doesn’t really jive with. He’s caught between two worlds and struggles to find others that are on the same wavelength.
He’s not as snooty as the high society he wants for himself, but he’s also not as down to earth as most. His lifestyle and the people he’s got in his life push his buttons which causes the reactions that make the character so beloved.
Sounds like narcissistic tendencies, when you stop feeding them they come back.
Had an ex like this too, the moment I called her bluff and said I was going to grab boxes to move out she changed her tune since the power dynamic shifted. Then she wrapped the conversation around how we should try again and it wasn’t that big of a deal what I’d done, etc.
Most of them just don’t want to admit anything they’ve ever said was wrong so the perspective changes and gaslighting starts to creep in.
Land. Value. Tax.
Value.

An entire generation of people was convinced this would make them shredded cause of Dragonball lol
Trust me, I used to do a lot of calisthenics. You can build endurance that way, but it’s difficult to cultivate strength and size when you are theoretically limited to whatever your bodyweight is. Eventually you just feel like you have to do a thousand push ups to get a good chest workout when you could just go hit the bench or cable fly machine and get similar results in a fraction of the time.
For me, as a user, that’s not my concern. For me, as a user, it’s more important that I can
have my convenience
FTFY
Also, the only truly bad competition is subsidized competition. As long as it’s not surviving on some kind of grant or funding, instead of its actual market value, then it’s always a good thing as it keeps competitors on their toes.
Fanboys and monopolies, name a better combination.
Damn, that’s crazy that you have the time to so seriously inconvenience yourself so you can feel good about this.
Let me guess, you live in a city and forget that not everyone lives in a city?
Even being on Linux isn’t enough for Linux users, now. Gotta have every piece of software they approve of and none of the ones they don’t. On top of it you have to use it for the same reasons, too.
Fucking Christ, you guys make me want to never mention that I use Linux.
Konsi is best goblin for sure.
Drink idiots hit things in cars all the time.
Make the test to acquire your license actually difficult to the skill level required instead of the “you can take two left turns and park shitty, here’s your license” level of difficulty that most states use for road vehicles.
Calm down MacOS hasn’t done shit to make it better. They decide what you do and don’t get, daddy apple already made the decision and you have to deal with it.
“We did the thinking for you, and you’ll like it.” Might as well be their slogan.
Looks like they’re unloaded with the receivers locked back, no different than looking down the barrel while cleaning it.
Yeah, even good ones do it.
The amount you’d save not hiring physical ticket sales workers would absolutely dwarf any amount of possible dev salaries for one website.
“Hey, we saved money by computerization, so we’re gonna pass that cost onto you!”
“Don’t you mean ‘pass the savings onto us?’”
:D “Nope!”
Depends, building good games that establish goodwill and a strong franchise will make you more money in the end than the quick pump and dump mobile game candy crush bullshit.
The difference is that the mobile game model can exist perpetually in a state of pump and dump because the platform of mobile is essentially purpose built to be a time waster. Consoles and PC games are intended to be an activity in themselves instead of a way to take a smoke break, the ramifications of attempting to convert the standard videogame model to the pump and dump model has been successful depending on your definition.
Sure we’ve established that whales exist in every market and some people will buy every MTX they can even if it’s CoD or whatever, but we’ve also seen people who used to spend a considerable amount of money on games stop doing so, because the market doesn’t cater to their preferences. That’s the point Larian is making, you can create a true fan base with their model, you can only create addicts with the pump and dump model.
