It kind of depends on the grape variety. Some are good, some are just semi sweet leather

Or rewilded solar farms. That requires not trying to make enough money to drown the sun from the sky though

When I could finally afford my own machine instead of whatever hand-me-down electronics I got from friends. It just always made sense to me

Didn’t the Wii have this already too for their amiibo or whatever?

All of the above? ✅

I dunno, the rise and fall and extreme mismanagement of a Seinfeld theme park would make for some great background documentaries for while I work…

“Hi my name is Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair…”

Part of the difference is Rowling still holds so much cultural weight (somehow). So many people still know and watch and purchase Harry Potter stuff. Seinfeld only really holds that weight amongst older conservatives. He’s only popular amongst the people perpetuating the hate. Rowling’s stuff is popular amongst those who should know better.

I do agree we should boycott more (I personally do boycott a fair bit), but comparing the current impact of Rowling to the current impact of Seinfeld is crazy.

I’m waiting for the next paycheck but it will be one of very few games I pay full price for (assuming reviews are good, I haven’t looked yet, but it’s Remedy so I’m hopeful)

Still doesn’t mean it has to be good. It just means you have to enjoy it and think the other person will.

Llamagedon and Velocipastor are by no means good, but I enjoyed them and still recommend them.

I think they mean if the advertised product. So like if Kleenex buys the ad space they’ll let kleenex know they’re boycotting them and why, not Microsoft.

They’d likely license as a percentage of revenue, not a specific dollar amount, which would make it more available to every studio and they’d theoretically make more money from the added ad revenue.

Until they license this out to every triple a studio and they all do it. Now I’m off to play more Tiny Terraces

But they didn’t even have to shutter many of the studios. Many of them were profitable. Microsoft just didn’t want the competition and they decided the studios weren’t obscenely profitable

And just to extend, this doesn’t just apply to AAA games or anything. Like look how much people fell in love with and lovingly memed the placeholder art in “Slay the Spire II”. Or how much players are still captivated by the story and feel of “What Remains of Edith Finch”.

There’s plenty of examples of solo devs doing it too, just not as shiny. “Balatro”, “Axiom Verge”, “Return of the Obra Dinn”, “Stardew Valley”… I could go on. People like lovingly crafted things of any size

Way to not read their comment and keyboard warrior from another country

Hey, uh, any ereaders or tablets in that pile? I need something basic I can just read comics or books with but all the used stuff around me is priced as new and the new stuff is priced insane.

All the better to break up my silhouette for camouflage with so that I may hunt you my dear.

All I can think with the dark eyed scops is Little Red Riding Hood. “All the better to see you with my dear”.
