Wild to me you got down voted for this. Even in an expensive city, if you make almost five times the median income you’re upper class, even if there’s an erosion of what that buying power gets you. Otherwise what do we call someone who makes $100,000 and supports a family of four? $80,000? $50,000? There are many, many people in those pricy cities making those amounts or less.
I feel like you can really see the skewed demographics on lemmy (bias towards tech workers, their salaries, and their lifestyles) during economic justice discussion.
By what definition of middle class are you considering $250,000 to be middle class? That’s greater than the 90th percentile income.
Marauders is fun! Solid gameplay loop. It is more basic than Tarkov in a mechanical sense, but this means it’s easier to convince your friends to play and easier to jump in and out of. It’s still a more tactical and methodical shooter than a lot of what you find in the mainstream. There is also a pretty unique space flight mechanic as part of the raiding process that the devs are still working on.
I’ve gotten my money’s worth for sure. I think I’m around 130 hours played so far, and I could see myself putting in at least twice that as development continues. More if my friends keep at it too.
How do you figure?
Single player social media, perfect.
You’re not alone. I hate musicals. Love that they can have fun like this in Trek, but please never again please because I’ll have to watch that one too.
Edit: Chapel’s number was pretty cool though.
I thought the same about Liftoff. I downloaded it and Connect at the same time and felt ok about both, but didn’t see them as improvements over Jerboa. As of five minutes ago I started giving Connect another shot; the Sync hype has me wondering if the grass is greener anywhere but I’m not willing to drop $20 to remove ads for a federation access point.
Yep, I bought a Brother laser printer for $120 a few years ago. I don’t use it super often, but it’s been reliable and easy to use whenever I need it. I’ve never had to replace the toner. It just works.
I also really liked this one. I’ve seen other people complain about aspects of the story, but I felt like the story hit me way harder than it had to to be serviceable.
I mean, yeah? I don’t use a wash cloth anymore, I use a different kind of scrubber that dries out quickly, but when I used a wash cloth I just used a different one every day. Marginal impact on my laundry and a pack at Target was cheap. Every day I could wash my face with a clean cloth and then wash the rest of my body.
There are five lights!
Yup. My childhood best friend reached out after learning that I was getting divorced a few years back. He lived out of state but was in town visiting family, so we got dinner. It was good to catch up. I ended up being one of his groomsmen and we still talk/game together, although distance still prevents us from meeting IRL too often.
I love that! If it’s your first time through, I hope you both enjoy it!
Ayyyyy, are you reading The Shadow Rising soon? I liked it more than the Dragon Reborn.
The Broken Earth Trilogy by NK Jemisin. Fantastic and heartbreaking. It’s kind of a crossover in science fiction and fantasy, set in a world that experiences apocalyptic levels of climate and geological change every few hundred years. Jemisin does excellent world building and a very admirable job of writing parts of the narrative in second person in a way that seems seamless/not gimmicky. Highly recommended.
There’s nothing I do on my current phone that I couldn’t do on a phone ten years ago, technologically speaking. When I upgraded my phone recently, it was solely because of battery deterioration and because the previous model was out of service for security updates. I don’t think I’m alone here.
I literally bought an iFixIt kit to open my phone up (for a screen replace rather than a battery swap, but still) and could not get it open after an hour+ of trying. I’d definitely believe it’s because I’m inexperienced in modern phone repair, but I’m not a generally unsavvy person. I build computers and mess around with tech as a hobbyist. I had to take it to a shop and return the kit. It’s definitely not an easy process for some devices.
This is a good feature to bring back to modern games. Anyone else remember F10 from Counter Strike?
Like Russ and Rebecca, from Chums?
