It actually is a big deal. You really need to take some time to think it through to understand that. Either that or you are a troll and I’m just wasting my time right now 🤷♂️
The carrier on Friday said it launched a media platform to serve travelers personalized advertisements on seat-back screens and in its app, among other platforms, as it seeks to leverage customer data.
I take small pleasure in the fact that any ads I see I have no intention of ever purchasing their shit. I would actively tell people to avoid it as well. We literally have ads shoved in our faces 24/7 and the amount I have after bills and shit is already earmarked so the ad companies can go shove a baseball bat up their ass.
And yet they tend to be a worse experience, release before they are ready with DLC already ready to go, riddled with microtransactions and other awful issues. They aren’t worth more.
The days of me paying full price for AAA titles is over. Even some of the series I used to love were disappointments when new titles came out. Indie games have been giving me far more enjoyment and repeatability so until the big AAA studios figure shit out they can take their overpriced shovelware and cram it where the sun don’t shine.
100% agree, too much is being focused on getting games as cutting edge graphic wise as possible without focusing on optimization, size, game play, or even if consumers can reasonably be expected to have the hardware necessary for it. I worry the gaming industry will hit a point where the leeches at the top determine the industry is dead because they’ve ruined it so badly in the never ending pursuit of unrealistic profit. Like no shit not as many people want to buy games riddled with bugs, microtransactions and lacking any attempt at listening to what consumer want to play. I miss when developers were allowed to be creative and work on things they enjoy, because that definitely was represented in the games when playing them.
If that’s what they want to take away than fuck them. Focus on the shit that has to do with loot boxes and micro transactions. If they want people to engage more irl the solution isn’t to ruin the only outlet I and others have, it’s to improve people’s lives where they don’t view escaping into games as a necessity to get away from depressing reality. Just my two cents.

Honestly, while I would never get this tattoo and might look a little sideways at it if I saw it while out and about, its actually very well done and looks really clean. I think there was a sub called like awful content but excellent execution or something like that it would better suited for.
“Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years,” says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. “Actually, it’s gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015.”...
They just don’t give a shit about people. They see people as ATMs and none of the companies will learn until it hits a point people can’t afford anything anymore cause prices are so high and wages are so low its impossible to buy anything but the absolute bare necessities.
Yet another “brilliant” scheme from a cryptobro. Naturally this caused a gold-rush for scammers who outsourced random people via the gig economy to open PRs for this yml file (example)
They really did. The victim blaming is insane. These companies spend money to leverage psychology in their favor to get people addicted to the dopamine rushes from things like microtransactions and loot boxes. Not everyone is able to resist that kind of conditioning on such a large scale.
I can tell I have more experience in the real world just from your comment. Nothing is black and white and you not being able to understand others doesn’t change their reality or the world’s reality. Have a nice day and hopefully are able to grow and gain more experience and knowledge of the world moving forward.
They think that somehow if they rape her it will magically make them better than her and that she will submit and agree she was wrong. It’s a mentality only the truly weak have.
I loved a number of assassins creed games in the past. Even played a few of the more recent ones when they are on sale. But I kind of stopped caring about the over arcing story a long while ago. I just enjoy the stuff happening in the past in those games.
man cannot live on memes and news alone. there is a void here. news stories breed reasoned discussion, generally filled with stringent, on topic remarks. memes breed tepid remarks, a step above twitter blue check replies, but little worth reading....
Unfortunately it’s because the sheer amount of stupidity in the real world means you can never be sure if someone is being serious. Also unfortunately, when a platform has a wide enough audience there will always be people that have a vested interest in topics no matter how potentially outlandish it might seem. So they will react emotionally to things that for most people aren’t that serious. That’s just my take though. Also add in trolls and that tops it all off.
It’s a very condescending way to answer. Not to mention the second someone says that kind of thing there’s a high chance what they are suggesting is a scam/cult/conspiracy theory or something similar.
I have a 4 10 hour day schedule as well, But that’s not what this is about. This would be a 32 hour work week so it would be removing a day instead of cramming the same number of hours into fewer days.
It’s not that. It’s that the fewer people they have to pay the more money they get to keep. It’s incredibly short sighted and self destructive. But they don’t care at this point.
