James Stephanie Sterling after she started doing the stupid “ad spots” in videos for pogs and other memorabilia. They aren’t real ads, but they were so damned obnoxious.

Lucy Pyre after she stopped doing FFXIV videos and went full on brainrotted degenerate.

They don’t. They’re a QLD couple that got in trouble for being absolute legends and knocking down their neighbour’s drone.

I know Toyota is still ragging on EVs because they invested a lot into hydrogen tech and want that to be the next big thing instead. But I didn’t know Honda, Mazda and Suzuki also under-invested.

It’s the policy of an entire political party. Remember “War on Your Weekend”?

They may not have to maximise profits but the shareholders will question every decision that doesn’t maximise profits so the result is the same. That’s why activist investors that push companies to more ethical behaviour are important.

Australia’s version is a dns block. It only stops people who don’t know how to google or change thier dns.

Parasites running unregulated hotels driving the smaller operators to list on airbnb as well.

Lost a lot of my hobby subs and spend more time posting political crap now.

Oh they were on Reddit. Before I left, you could find them on ChapoTrapHouse. After the Ukraine War kicked off, you could see them all over world news, Ukraine, noncredibledefense, credibledefence, and the various war update subs.

Samsung pushed an app in an update that plastered ads for charities all over my lock screen. Disabled that shit and my next phone isn’t going to be a Samsung.

The use case is being a buzzword they can use to scam cryptobros and the gullible.

I’d argue that if you never played, then getting one of those packages would actually make you play worse than someone who’s played from the start.

FFXIV.

Not sure about ESO and SWTOR. I know WoW has the token market that technically counts as turning money into power by selling tokens and buying clears.

The game started as the musings of an old gm/qc/dev from Asheron’s Call. The early days of the game were more like a sandbox for the dev and the players. He was throwing different systems at the wall to see what stuck with the players. I remember it being full of place holder assets and jank.

But unlike g-sync and freesync, FSR2 isn’t good enough to match DLSS3 yet.

If twitchthots and onlyfans have taught us anything, it’s that thirsty nerds will buy anything at any price from a pretty face.

People keep saying they don’t deliver but they have been delivering. The game gets a new build every quarter with updates and new content. Players are still technically playing a development build so it’s full of bugs and only limited to one star system but that one star system is huge with 4 planets, 7 stations and lots of points of interest.

If you’re into the anime aesthetic: Nier Automata, Atelier series, and Recettear. I think FFXIII is fun but people would argue otherwise.
