But why is it still going?

My guy is talking about a controlled environment with scientific processes and y’all here talkin’ like he wants to chuck it on a few logs.

If you’re housed I’ll trade you my current situation so you can test that for yourself.

What’s arbitrary? You said people blame genetics.

Being female is genetic. You can’t use that in your answer. Also, your answer didn’t account for the fact that she eats healthier.

My wife eats a little healthier than I do. She drinks more water than I do. We eat the same quantity of food. We have the same exercise level. She’s notably heavier than I am. Please explain how there’s such a substantial difference in the end result. You aren’t allowed to use genetics in your answer.

Home Depot has something like that. Don’t get enough people to sign up for cards, you get a warning. Get enough people to sign up for cards and you get a $20 Gift Card.

You can enjoy it, but you’re insane if you don’t see a marked drop in quality from installation to installation in terms of map design, content, sound design and more. How many times are they going to reuse Mega Evolution with a new coat of paint instead of just keeping it already working?

Why do they prevent you from transferring Pokemon into newer generations? It’s not because they don’t have the space for the information. They’re saving money by not having to spend dev hours remodeling all the older Pokemon to fit the new art style or graphic threshold.

All in all, given the profits, they could put a lot more effort into making the experience more fun.

Here’s a decent breakdown of the issues between generations: (Warning: The presentation leaves something to be desired but the crux of the argument is sound.)

I absolutely detest the Flanderization of Drax and Thor. I appreciate moments of comedy, but I didn’t come to watch Abbot and Costello.

Adams has admitted that he hasn’t been in an office in such a long time that he doesn’t know what’s relevant anymore. In classic Dilbert fashion, the admission slipped as part of his defense that his comics were current and he had a finger on the pulse of the technology sector.

You’re also not taking into account subscription price hikes, policies dictating what you can and can’t do with the software, media availability without internet, surveillance and data selling.

Netflix has doubled their fees in the last ten years while hemorrhaging beloved content to other streaming services.

Netflix and others dictate that you’re not allowed to siphon the shows and movies to watch later, at a time and place that may be inconvenient for the service (such as removing it).

Go anywhere without internet and suddenly all of your paid options don’t exist. That may be resolved one day by unlimited internet everywhere, but that leads into…

These streaming services will know where you are and what you’re doing all the time. Surveillance in general has only gotten worse, and watchdogs may be vigilant but it’s not blunting how much privacy is being stripped away from you on a regular basis.

The price you’re paying isn’t just dollars and it’s not locked in forever.

I never mentioned age. I mentioned games that are played for thousands of hours. Meaning that the value of those games far exceeds the value of the subscription. Furthermore, then the subscription ends (including when pulling games that are too old) and you are left without the game you have been sinking an incredible amount of time into just because some suits determined that not enough people play X game to warrant providing server space.

Yes. I am explaining that the opposite value of that statement doesn’t go far enough.

To be fair nobody plays just one single game for 3 years.

Where’s the confusion?

Skyrim, Fallout 4, RDR2, Witcher 3, The Sims, Dark Souls, Civilization, Borderlands 1/2, Stardew Valley, Persona…

Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean there aren’t people that come back again and again between games to dust off an old favorite. While I personally never touched Fallout 4 again after beating it, I’ll break out my XBox 360 and give New Vegas a whirl to see what character concept I’ll try this time.

The Economist is inherently fascist because it exists both as a product of and to foment capitalism.

I will. It was fascinating reading the article and seeing all the comments from people desperate for a big nothing burger and some french cries.

It definitely wasn’t. They were doing this after hours.

It did not make it to the customers.

“A group of Australian KFC workers have been condemned for their after-hours antics which were shared online and labelled “disgusting” by furious social media users.”

That food gets thrown out anyway. If they want to clown about it as a former QSR Manager I wouldn’t care in the slightest as long as they clean it all up.
