  • More like $12.99 for core functionality that should have been released with the game (cities skylines is the worst for this). I’m all for reasonable pricing to cover the costs of development, but chaining together a dozen expansions and making a $40 game cost an additional $160 is bonkers. Its deceptive pricing, and it shouldn’t be excused just because you like small studios making better games. It would be better to release games when they are fully ready and have a roadmap of full cost available.

    Though it does look like they’ve now offered a subscription service to essentially rent the expansions for $8 a month, at least that provides choices.



  • I mean, if you’re eating chicken nuggets every single day, gut health is just one of many issues people could have, including heart disease, diabetes, peripheral neuroapathy, obesity, disability, etc. 20 year olds arnt immune to that. People really struggle with basic diet. I’m very lucky I was raised by a gardener. Home cooked fresh foods for the first 18 years and fast food feels like eating plastic. If I was raised eating junk food I probably wouldn’t know better.








  • This is why I prefer “queer”, because why should I have to explain my sexuality to anyone. I’ll know what I like when the time comes and that has expanded and contracted over the years. There is no specific line I feel like I need to use as a definition. To me drawing a line just limits things and misleads others. Language is imperfect and sexuality is complex.

    Counterpoint, aluminum is bad for you, anti-persperaint is hard to clean off your body and cloths, humans are allowed to smell a little. As long as you’re not smelling like a highschool gym and shower regularly and after exercise, a light application of deodorant should be plenty for the majority of adults.




  • The problem with some of these “safety” features is they malfunction at such a high rate they seem more likely to kill me than save my life. They also don’t anticipate future consequence in any way.

    The collision detection malfunctions regularly giving a loud beep or applying breaks when nothing is ahead.

    The lane departure does not understand situations where you had someone wander into your lane and you may drive onto the shoulder quickly before signalling. I don’t need my car fighting me while im making the correct call. I also think having the car take over, even gently, is so startling that it could cause the accident it was meant to prevent. If I’m startled I might over correct and lose control. While that has never happened, with everything considered, it seems safer to leave some of these features off.

    I don’t need to be an early adopter on flawed technology that could get me killed.
