You can be sure it comes out of an Amazon warehouse. And that’s not the same thing.
Although frankly, it should be. I don’t know how they’ve got this cushy position where they take items from others, store them, and then ship them out for enormous fees without taking on any retailer responsibility.
You can. I can. But how many people do, and how many just flick through on their phone and click “Buy now” without really looking?
I’m glad that full stops are now passive aggressive, because that’s been my intent all along.
A world war you say? Golly.
Just special military operations, obviously. Not wars. Wars are a bad thing.
I guess my ageing i5-8400, 16GB, GTX 1060 rig can keep hobbling along a while yet.
Although I was amused to see my Legion Go S actually has a more powerful CPU now.
My Go S already came with Steam OS. Why they still messing about with Windows?
Spotify has lossless now. Although if you’re listening on anything with Bluetooth then you probably won’t notice anyway.
Welp, hope you’ve all been saving your bottlecaps.
I’ve been hiding them all around my house in every openable container, so even in the event that I don’t survive, a lone wanderer can at least benefit from my mild alcoholism.
TLDR: We rewrote the taskbar and didn’t bother implementing it.
Bringing back “dying in childbirth” at the ripe old age of 24.
This is going to be some serious AI slop, isn’t it?
I’m sort of going to blame Sony and Microsoft here as well. Since their game subscription services came out, games going on permanent discount seems to be a thing of the past. I reckon they’ve been told to do it just to make the subscription services look better value.
Back in the day, as far back as the ZX Spectrum for me, games would come out at full price and then a couple of years later would come out in a budget range. Even Nintendo would do it on the GameCube. Now it’s just full price forever because fuck you.
Lots of things feed into it. The porn is just one of them.
This is part of a big effort to combat misogyny right now, which will be for naught when Reform rolls into power, declares it all “woke” and makes the problem 10 times worse.
I miss the “flash sales”.
They got rid of them, and the Steam Sales were effectively just the regular discounts you can get anywhere else.
That and people like Rockstar figuring out that you can put “50% off” if you bundle in a load of funbucks nobody asked for.

Do you want to use this thing you paid for?

Danny Moses: You’re completely sure of the math?
Jared Vennett: Look at him, that’s my quant.
Mark Baum: Your what?
Jared Vennett: My quantitative. My math specialist. Look at him, you notice anything different about him? Look at his face.
Mark Baum: That’s pretty racist.
Jared Vennett: Look at his eyes, I’ll give you a hint, his name is Yang. He won a national math competition in China! HE DOESN’T EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH! Yeah I’m sure of the math.
Coming up next: China’s STD epidemic and what can we do about it?
Yeah, but what I mean is Tesco and Walmart are a convenient stores that everyone knows about, but if I buy an Ali Express quality fire hazard from those, they’d get into trouble for it.
While Amazon will ask you to take it up with UFTNGDNH Ltd, who conveniently can’t be contacted any more, but here’s CVBXDFXE Inc selling the exact same items under a different “brand”.
