"Of that amount, ¥479.3 billion ($3.2 billion) came from game and content sales. Revenue from console sales totaled ¥287.5 billion ($1.9 billion), and revenue from game services was ¥133.9 billion ($887 million)."
So - Sony makes most money selling games, not consoles. They made 2 billion from selling consoles, and 4 billion selling games. All this for 120 million players worldwide.
There are about 1.8 billion pc gamers worldwide. Literally 15 times as many as Playstation gamers. Sony is selling games on the PC to reach this market and hopefully turn that 4 billion from game sales to 40 billion from game sales. Hooking people on franchises might be an added bonus, but that's not why they're doing it. They're doing it because if they manage to sell a 5 dollar game to every single pc gamer, that's more than their entire business is worth today, consoles and franchises and everything.
Hey you seem pretty knowledgeable so I'm gonna just ask - if these types of events happen regularly in earth's atmosphere, why build particle colliders at all? Is it just to have control over when they're triggered and to be able to observe the results? If so, wouldn't it help to just launch more satellites that can observe when these things happen in the atmosphere? Sorry for the dumb questions, I'm very much a layman.
Cars will never be dethroned. Yes, trains are cool - choo choo motherfucker. Yes, bikes are environmentally friendly. Yes, the car is a truly fucking horible answer to the question "how to get from A to B".
But that's because cars are the answer to the question "how to get from A to B comfortably". I don't want my baby and my in-law to get on the back of my bike when we're going camping. I don't want to take the train and then walk 2 miles from the station every single fucking day with 20kg of tools in my hand, because shit, the train doesn't stop next to my house, and it doesn't stop next to my work. I want to be able to have acces to comfortable transportation.
So the answer will still be the car. Even with everyone crying about it. Cause the cat's out of the bag with cars, we made them efficient and cheap enough to not be considered luxury items anymore. And some countries (see: US) have their entire infrastructure built with cars in mind. You're never putting the lid back on this, even if it's a decent idea.
Yes. As it should be. I'll buy the car that chooses to mow down a sidewalk full of pregnant babies instead of mildly inconveniencing myself or my passengers. Why the hell would you even consider any other alternative?
Who asked Vatican? Don't they fuck kids? I'm not asking my local child molester what they think about my wife pegging me, let's stop giving fucktards a platform.
That probably would be the opposite extreme, and I have a feeling entirely different situations will rise out of that.
Tbh idk what I'd do. It's good I'm not in a position to decide. I just think the federal government offering people incentives to bypass privacy is dangerous and wrong.
Hey man, you're kinda narrowing down the entire problem of the right to privacy being consistently shat upon by your government into "well I knew one person where it was justified so this means those who argue against it fuck kids"
I understand what you mean and if you want to carve an exception into the law for CP I'd be all for it - maybe everyone is a mandated reporter of child porn, and all suspicions MUST be reported to the FBI and the evidence handed over. But I don't wanna get swatted just because my wife and I are into BDSM and we photographed a particularly rough session. Or because I took some pics of some clear plastic bags filled with flour that I put in my trunk to prank a friend. Or a million other things a geek squad guy might misinterpret and call the police for.
I'm not sure where you think the moral high ground is, but there's nobody for me to claw it back from - or at least certainly not you. I'm amazed you've even heard of it, because you've obviously never seen it considering that I'm advocating for killing people who are leading an animal abuse group, while you're literally saying people are worthless because they're disabled.
I'm skipping the middle paragraphs but I'm gonna assume you realized you Freudian slipped your way into showing you're an ableist cunt, so now you're trying to prove you're not, or that I'm the bigger asshole, or some sort of last ditch attempt to make yourself sound reasonable. "Haha I'm not a dipshit I was trolling all along" style. As if anyone in their right mind is just going to skip past the fact that you're suggesting disabled people are worthless to society.
Oh shit sounds like I've made your "okay to shoot in the head" list.
You've gone through this entire conversation the wrong way, tbh. This is what happens when you try to put words in people's mouths to make your shitty arguments, you reveal your own thought process along the way. Let's go through it just to be clear: you obviously made the cunt list, because you're being an ableist cunt. But you seem to think the cunt list is the same as the "okay to shoot" list, and that's on you again. Because just like your previous "disabled people are worthless" opinion, it says more about you than me.
No you don't, you just want me to give you enough arguments to make your case. Which wouldn't be necessary if you had a case at all.
should we apply this same "your life is only tolerated if you're worth something to society" to, for example, the severely disabled?
It's interesting that you think disabled people are worth nothing to society. I guess you've never of Stephen Hawking, Stevie Wonder or Michael J. Fox? Or maybe you've heard of them, but think they've brought nothing to society? Or maybe you're aware of them and acknowledge their impact, but you still think you're better than them, just because they're disabled. Yeah, option 3 sounds like you. Cunt.
If this were a just world, this dude would be left in the gorilla enclosure to find himself at the mercy of a bigger mammal and get beaten to death. But life's not fair, so let's penny-pinch: is this guy worth anything to society? No. Will his continued existence (when he is allowed to be free again) be beneficial? No. Is his continued existence in prison more expensive than a bullet? Yes. So let's just pull the trigger and move on.
Sometimes you need to cut your losses. This one was fucked up. Take it out the back and dump it in the trash.
Americans are out here needing 100 degrees of magnitude between "it's really cold outside" and "it's really hot outside" while ignoring the scientific uses of anything outside of those values and you expect them to understand decimals?
How many "it's really hot outside" until iron melts, or water boils, or meat cooks? Fuck knows. But I'll be damned if I use punctuation in my maths, this country was founded on addition and subtraction and that's all the founding fathers ever needed, now gtfo with your letters and periods and symbols in my mathematics.
A character killed by the Summer Star becomes an ethereal spirit bound to the Black Cabin
It's a DC 17 CON saving throw for 10d10+35, save halfs. This is at around character level 5-6. Rogues searching for shines are gonna have to shut the fuck up for the rest of the session. Unless you roll like garbage and they roll like gods, in which case... Idk man, they've earned it, let them enjoy it.
It's a VERY good spiritual successor to titan quest. I'll recommend last epoch too, if you like the genre and are interested also in multi-player (it has an offline mode as well)
