I’ve seen that as a bit by a comedian before as well.

After having kids I totally understand how it can happen by mistake.

Spite coding is almost the original coding.

Part of that is a legal issue. People over 40 are a protected class, you can’t discriminate against old people for being old. Young people can get fucked though.

There’s a lot of people that think 95% of what they paid is a good discount.

If you actually want to sell something mark it at 50% of retail, because that’s the area most things are worth.

We killed our trajectory by shutting down nuclear investment.

I gave up on marketplaces years ago after looking for a reasonably priced PS3. The number of people who thought their original model with 7 Madden games was worth $500 was absurd.

In the offerers defense that is probably a price at or above current retail for a product with massive deprecation and in moderate to good condition.

It wasn’t even that hidden back then, games like candy crush admitted to journalists that they changed the difficulty based on spending habits. The fact they might have that formula fine tuned even more shouldn’t be surprising.

I had a free trial for PC and came to a similar conclusion. It’s a good way to try some games, but the value proposition isn’t great for long term unless you constantly play new games. Also the download speed was atrocious.

The Linux development is about maintaining a viable option for a store if Windows went walled garden.

Also the important rule here is everything not explained to be different is assumed to be the same as our understanding of the real world.

Also you need to consistently break conventions once you do it or you really screw with people and make a shitty world.

Most favored customer clauses are not uncommon in the retail world.

It would have to be more like an unsolved mysteries show with a dramatic reenactment and a developer giving all the ugly details with a blacked out face and voice changer.

While that’s true at a high level, their day to day experience isn’t that political. Even most deployments aren’t really controversial.

Armed protests are peaceful protests.

I think we are still in the middle of the crash, but concord is a pretty good marker for the death of live service game spam. The number of canceled games since then has been impressive.

That episode was so cool, I was disappointed to learn it was about a dead game.

You are always looking at the part someone just used.
