Given the horrific treatment it’s more like the bullet grazed them. What a fucked up thing to experience.

I’ll have to give it a go, after the lockdowns I fell out of the habit of getting my liquor online. It was nice tbh

I signed up to be a facilitator with zero experience, tho I doubt they’ll want an American (UK citizen) in that role. I figured they’ll at least appreciate the enthusiasm.

I wish good tequila was easier to find in the UK. You kinda just learn to love gin, here.

I’m struggling to even write this comment while my family is nattering away in the next room, fuck writing code while people talk

Hell yes. Now the guy just has to keep them from proving he did it. Honestly feels doable

Because my dog hates flying

My wife has the palate for fresh grapefruits. I can only drink the juice. Preferably in a greyhound.

Eat yuor heart out, Cool Hand Luke

Better to be on that list than the Epstein list.

Was it just the food? What made it special?

Hell, that’s the state I was born and I’d never heard of it myself.

I can’t help feeling carnies are done wrong by the comparison. At least carnies propose to delight us in exchange for their enrichment.

That’s a remarkable stretch. What was the best bit?

Auditory processing disorder makes it really hard to deal with multiple people talking.

I work from home, so

Let’s be real, nothing is more American than taking money from idiots

I’ve been hearing that one for a while.

That was really shitty watching him use the word “moderate” that way.

Variation did begin to pick up once they started making indie games for consoles, but I was referring to games you could find on the shelves for an average home console. And I wasn’t going from memory, I was going off something I read a while back.

Since as long as I’ve been a gamer, the average MSRP of a game has been quite steady despite the fact that the purchasing power of that price tag has completely collapsed.

An average Atari 2600 game cost $39.99 but that’s closer to $170.70 in today’s money. A game for the PS4 had a sticker price 50% higher, but the actual value of that money is nearly ⅓ as much.

If you have better data than the article I’d love to hear of it. I hated how they referred to typical MSRP as the “average” price when it’s clearly the mode and not the mean.

My only point was that the price of these games has been at a certain level without regard for the drastic decline in the value of the dollar. Demand for games should be on the elastic side, so it’s weird that (most) prices have been so steady.

It’s just really hard when we’ve been for decades conditioned to largely see every game as priced at something like $60. It’s created a group of consumers who are incredibly price sensitive, but also likely to look on anything priced under $60 with a jaundiced eye.
