Not to mention you need to pay to use the internet that you’re already paying for. Fuck Microsoft for starting that trend.

If there’s openly Nazis in your bar and they aren’t being kicked out, you’re in a Nazi bar. They completed that transition a while ago.

I believe he was going to shoot but stopped when he saw she was a pretty woman. Here’s the scene if you want to see for yourself.

Rich has actually used this genie once before as well.

Alternatively, doesn’t that mean he gets his own 3 wishes? Infinite wish exploit??

I’m very much a democrat and very much voted for Harris, so I don’t know what you’re on about.

We’re not all bad.

I’d also say we’re well past that point. Generally from my experience, the only difference between a rogue-like and -lite is that the latter has some form of permanent progression between runs. Though, often times even that distinction is ignored.

I mean, its not about the art style, its about the gameplay loop.

Well, Terraria 1.4 was initially going to be version 1.3.6 until they kept adding more and more. This could end up the same way.

I think my favorite thing about heavily modded Skyrim is that the “fix” for this in that scenario is “stay as far away from this buggy mess as possible and just use an alternative start mod.”

Worth playing even today?

Why yes, that’s how things that are older than other things tend to work. The Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, which is closer in time to the TNG premier (15 years 10 months) than it is to now.

I wish using freetube kept Ernie calm, but it just doesn’t work half the time. Invidious has the same issue. Which is significantly more annoying than just using YT, which Ernie has uBlock Origin for.

I don’t even care enough to decorate my real life space so why waste the money on some pretty .png files?

Right, that was my entire point though. Different stokes for different folks. Also, I realize you’re being hyperbolic there, but things like that tend to be a lot more than just a png.

Also also, no fucking way that’s real. That’s insane lol.

What makes something a “real” experience to you? When people buy cosmetics in the game, they’re not (generally) doing it just to own those “bits on a PC”; they’re doing it for the experience that comes with the cosmetics. Maybe their character looks pretty now and it makes them happy, maybe they can build a cool castle now and it makes them happy.

that money could be spent on having real experiences instead of some bits on a PC that you’ll lose access to within a decade

Paying for DLC and extra content is one thing, but

These two comments are contradictory. The first comment has the same issue with DLC as it does cosmetics. It sounds like you don’t really have any issue with the first comment, rather, your issue is that you don’t consider cosmetic things an experience worth spending money on. Which is fine. But you should realize that many people do find fun and enjoyment (enough that they don’t mind spending money) from things like character customization and building (among other things), which cosmetics let them do. There’s a reason the Sims is so popular.

I don’t think the issue is the word “buy”, but rather clarity on what you’re buying. Amusement parks use the word buy, but I don’t think anybody is confused that what you’re buying isn’t the whole Ferris Wheel, it’s a ticket that gives you permission to ride the Ferris Wheel. Meanwhile games tell you you’re buying a mount, when what you’re actually buying is a license that gives you access to a mount.

That’s half of what you said:

As in my Chapelle clip, one candidate embraces it, the other denies it.

Does paying for a ticket to go to an amusement park or the movies or whatever mean that you wasted money on nothing? Just because you don’t permanently own something doesn’t mean you paid for literally nothing. You paid for the experience. The good times you have over the years playing a game you loved.

I mean yeah, I’m sure losing everything when the servers shut down would fucking suck, but that doesn’t invalidate the time you’ve experienced up to that point.

I don’t have the money to throw at games like that, but I do understand it.

My response is that you dodged again. To be clear, the question you dodged was:

When has she ever denied being wealthy?
