How they got so funny

I understand the retail price of the phones. But I’m not talking about installment plans. Carriers have insane deals on phones (both android and iphone).

The iphone I’m using right now was old when I got it for free ($0). I just took a look at my carrier’s website and I can get another old one for free ($0) right at this very moment lol. It’s extremely common to see deals in the $50-300 range, too. Typically the only concession you make is you agree to stay on the same contract for a period of time, usually 2-3 years. But people don’t typically change carriers that much.

Dunno if other places have the same deals pop up, looking just at US offerings. To be fair we do get fleeced on our monthly phone bill anyway, so maybe that’s why they’re willing to ‘bait’ people in with the free phones. But generally speaking there isn’t really an income bracket beneath which people switch to android. Iphone has about 70% market share here, it’s extremely common even for people with food assistance to have iphones.

Again I know the phones in general are premium, just pointing out that access to the phones here is a relatively low bar. Androids have the same deals pop up too fwiw

To tell if it’s a big or small banana

I can churn out 45 in 1 minute if we set the bar low enough

Just want to quickly say that people do get cheap iphones often via carrier promotions

Nobody has ever been able to explain it to me. It’s like their brain just shuts off when you ask

Oh lovely! I liked the first game a lot. Similar to INSIDE but with more of a nature theme

Well, in the current system, the people who contribute nothing are called “CEOs” and they receive far, far more than equal compensation. And I think we’re working way, way harder to pay for their yachts than we would be to care for these lazy people who we think won’t chip in as much as they should under socialism

Outdoor Boys on youtube has a bunch of videos of extreme cold camping, same setup too w/ a hot tent

Sometimes the “why” in those videos is a multi day hunting trip or a wood cutting trip

who’d have thunk

Which specific point do we disagree on? It seems you have acknowledged the necessity of new games, and even provided specific examples. So the matter is settled, yes?

I’m not saying we don’t need the odd new DeltaRune or Blue Prince

Okay great, so you agree with me 100%, thank you for clarifying.

Regarding “New Title” addicts who consider anything released more than one day ago to be valueless, I agree that that is nonsensical. I’m confused about why you’re bringing it to my attention, however

Of course it does. Art is the medium through which we process and communicate our most complicated emotions. As the world continues to change, more and more art will have the power to affect us positively

I’m grossed/weirded out by yet another micro transaction riddled “live service” masquerading as an indie passion project. They even did a disgusting little media tour citing how they want their particular web of sub-nested premium currencies to be particularly ethical, and not charge more than $20 for their awful cosmetics.

The world needs more good games. The world does not need more soulless cash grabs

It’s always amazing to me that marketers are allowed to lie to the extent that they do

Gamer force?

Oh weird? Wasn’t there a huge headline recently that obesity rates had declined slightly for the first time in history?
