Yeah, as an ex GS employee - GS does not have the profit margins on new games to do a sale like that on new games. Only used games get put on buy two get one sales, and those can be returned.
So this is definitely a /thathappened moment.
Also like… How old is this post? Even when I worked at GS years ago parents knew what CoD was. The first CoD came out in 2003 it is not the kind of obscure that parents would ask about.
RIP maxis. May you one day be reborn. 😔
Mmm, nah. I’m not giving money to EA for the sims. I will continue to get every new install of sims and sims 2 from the open seas and play them with WINE without issue like I have been.
I see you EA, trying to get an emergency cash injection via nostalgia after flopping with the veilguard. This won’t keep you off the chopping block forever.
I will continue to not play any of my Sony games on PC until after I see this implemented. I didn’t wait out origin on steam to be bamboozled into PSN on steam. They should’ve seen this coming and never tried it, the stupid assholes.
We already know they’re Nazis. No PR stunt should ever be able to save them.
What ceasefire?
Excellent.
Good.
I am personally very disinterested in using bikes to collect data. That’s one of the benefits of traveling via bike - that the manufacturer can’t just track you and everyone around you!
If the problem is that cars aren’t safe around bicycles, then the solution should be to not allow cars near bicycles.
Don’t tempt me with a good time.
Currently cows are the main carrier of interest for one of the two strains of bird flu that are a concern in the US. The viral particles are being detected in their milk. Hence bird flu milk.
Perhaps, but that is what I was told by my doctor for my area. Seems like she would know.
That is really helpful to know. I don’t recall there being any MinuteClinics around here, but I’ll take a look for next time, thank you :)
I live in NYS. I had to pay $200+ out of pocket for the booster because my medical insurance would only cover vaccines administered by a doctor’s office, and the booster was only distributed to pharmacies. My medical insurance does not cover ANY prescriptions because apparently it’s an optional DLC now.
Only CVS and Walgreens were given the boosters too so they could set whatever price they wanted.
I don’t know a single other adult other than my partner that paid out for the booster because it was so expensive. If my immune system worked I could play roulette with vaccines too, but it doesn’t so I just continue to get my physical safety held hostage for more money.
Which billionaire owns WSJ again?
I simply cannot fathom why a billionaire would want to devalue one of our highest paid working sectors left by flooding the labor market with cheaper labor. What could they possibly have to gain from holding workers hostage by their visa status?
What a mystery.
Being allosexual sounds exhausting. You get some kind of feels for a person just by looking at them? I can’t wrap my head around that. Or sex drives. I don’t mind participating, but I could live the rest of my life not having sex just like I could live the rest of my life not eating a specific kind of cereal.
To me sex is optional. I don’t usually even think about it unless our allo centered world forces me to.
You know capitalism is really new in the scale of human history right? It wasn’t until the industrial revolution in the 18th century that the means of production could be privately owned which then allowed for further speculative capital (stocks, land value, etc) to be equated to power.
The people of the past weren’t inherently stupid. Plenty of scientific and cultural progress was made prior to capitalism being our economic model.
The problem isn’t smartphones, it’s capitalism.
All of those things would have happened anyway in a different form factor because capitalism is just a race to the bottom.
Except maybe UI design. That has been special in its enshittification.
Today someone threatened to murder me.
Our car battery died during a snow storm. We only have one car, but I have an e bike and the auto parts store is less than 10 minutes from me. The roads were shit, visibility was shit, but 80% of my ride was on a state designated bike path so I figured I’d be fine for a quick trip.
I came up to the intersection in question and there was so much snow piled up between the bike path and the street I had to hop off the bike to get through it. The light was red in my favor, all traffic was stopped with no traffic coming from where the light was green. I started to cross the street and a HUGE truck waited until I was directly in front of him to slam on the gas, travel several feet at me, and then slam on the brakes just to intimidate me.
I doubt I would have survived if he had decided to just keep driving. Even if the light had changed by the time I managed to get off the road, is one life really worth less than the 20 seconds it takes to wait for someone to cross??
I do not understand why people are crazy for eggs. I haven’t purchased eggs since the pandemic and I’m not even vegan.
Back when I did buy eggs it was because I had a single recipe that needed them, and then I would struggle to finish the carton before they went off. Now I just don’t bother and replace eggs in baking with a lentil replacement mix. It’s so nice to have several dozens of eggs worth of mix in a small bag that’s shelf stable.
