They do it on purpose and it really does make sense. For everyone who supported the game they got the very best value of it. It sucks to pay full price only to have a sale pop up a few weeks or months later and you think “ah, I should have waited!” You buy the game, you support the devs, they keep working on the game, the game gets more, the price goes up for more game.

I wishlisted it when it was under $20. The price went up and up and didn’t go down. When I learned it was intentional and would never be cheaper, I bought it and eventually sunk 300 hours over loads of updates. Now the price tag is higher and I get to think “I’m glad I bought it when I did” and not “I should have waited”

The best time to buy Factorio was 8 years ago. The second best time is now.

That’s our appreciation for clear rules

Hello sir, ozow.com is best most recognize branding. We are trust top tier bank accounts detailed are encrypted so most safe safer than banks actually!

It’s like the cost of one banana

Maybe I don’t know enough about computer graphics, but in what world would you have/want to display a group of 33 pixels (one computed, 32 inferred)?!

Are we inferring 5 to the left and right and the row above and below in weird 3 x 11 strips?

It is with that attitude

Fun fact! My coworker pays more in rent for his apartment than I do on the mortgage of my house. Most often this is true.

I’m getting a once over by the bank, he’s getting done once over by the bank and again by his landlord, and they might not ever be different.

So how is an immigrant supposed to thrive when a foreign investment firm is profiting off them twice?

Subsidize affordable housing, tax wholesale & foreign landlords out of existence. It’s simple.

If only we had some sort of public entity that could fund housing investments with little to no financial gain, but great gains to public support and well-being that was also in charge of controlling and permitting immigration rates so that the two could be balanced…

No. No, that’s not it at all.

Immigrants would be better served by unprofitable low income housing, not feeding their meager scraps to pay artificially inflated rent prices to an offshore real estate investment company.

I don’t think anyone wants to make a brand new condo and try to full it full of fresh immigrants that other businesses are exploiting to pay less.

They want to develop 1 set of condos they can sell for $300k+ rather than 3 sets for $100k

You’re right. Why would I want a public entity to keep any extra money in the country when I could pay a private mego corporation to funnel it off shore?

Why would I want to fund a public entity to keep publicly available records when I could pay a private company to deny my $1200 claim and boast $104 billion profit?

Is it the choice I get to make between 3 companies that all run the same statistical algorithm for risk assessment and collectively agree to have the same pricing? That’s so much better than having a government beholden to it’s voters and public option control it, right?

And DMX with and DMX with 17.

I mean, he tried to warn ya

It’s the turning point of modern medicine keeping too many backup kids alive.

But you forget that the guy chose to have his allergies, just like his sister chose to be too poor for basic modern medicine.

The true victims are the restaurant (I bet they ran out on the bill when he had “almost” anaphylaxis) and Pfizer for having their good name slandered on the internet.

Private insurance should only exist for things that are both a) completely optional, and b) not inevitable (so… evitable?).

Auto insurance? Well, if it’s the law to have it, why is a private company involved whose sole model is to collect money and deny payments?

Health insurance? Well, it’s optional, but you will absolutely need to pay for Healthcare at some point (or you die early). Why, again, should we put an institution in charge whose sole purpose is to make the average person pay more than they get out of it?

Famous athlete leg insurance? High value possession insurance? Have at it, private insurance.

Fahrenheit is literally a German dude making a scale from, “scheiße its chilly outside” to “oh mein gott, its hot out!”

It’s that extra “one” of incredulity.

40 degrees, that’s just too hot.

41? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

It might not help you, but it helped me to recognize when laying in bed trying to “sleep in” wasn’t going to happen. If I’m not asleep again in 5 minutes and it’s past a certain time (6:30 for me), fuck it. My body just aches if I lay in bed awake trying to sleep. I get up and enjoy the quiet morning.

Isn’t that just “giraffe” with a regional accent?

Another point for the hair style
