It is made by scientists. The problem is that said scientists are paid by investors mostly, or by grants that come from investors.

Didn't see it in the thread, but aqueduct are pretty fire. They allowed empires to grow large and far away from a source of drinking water. Also improved sanitation allowing people to live longer and healthier.

If everyone had ACs and did this we could revert global warming!

The main difference I think has to do with how this is done. Marketing is much more aggressive. Think like Google ads where products appear in unrelated queries. Much more sensationalism and less information. While the article says gamers want to read actual reviews, comment on the game while being developed, etc.

My guess is it caters to "windows power users" that like to be the ones to point these obscure shortcuts to other people.

I used a browser extension exactly for this when I still used Twitter. Best thing ever. Then manbaby bought Twitter and it's gone to shit.

Basically all mainstream ones since the 2000s. Nowadays I skip trailers entirely to not spoil the movies for me.

No guys. You don't understand. These sounds are only for Hamas to hear, not for the civilians. The drones weren't meant to kill civilians, but if they heard the sounds specifically made for Hamas of course they are terrorists, right? /s

They could spinoff to rare metals like gold or silver, or even gemstones like sapphire or ruby. 👀

But will it give me a card with my opponent in scantily clad clothing if I win?

If it is not visibly broken, you could just have clogged it with the cleaning agent. This did happen to me some times and whar helped was rubbing a damp cloth in it to dissolve the soap. Hope it helps!

I'M A BLOODY SCOTTISH CYCLOPS!

Aren't we already in a kind of dark age?

People denying science, people scared of diseases and vaccination, people using anything AI or blockchain as if it were magic, people defending power-hungry, all-promising dictators, people divided over and calling the other side barbaric. And of course, wars based on religion.

Seems to me we're already in the dark.

Even the concept of taking your game to a friend to play it is basically impossible today

I always remember cartman about pre-orders. All you get is a big dick on your mouth

It's not about being worthy or not. It's about pushing a new status quo of being acceptable to have MTXs on a 70 USD game.

I'll take the obvious bait here. The issue is that paying for a full game should give you a full game. For now the MTXs are like you said, for small items and not game changing. For now.

If the gaming community accepts this, who knows what the next step will be? Maybe they'll be kept small, but maybe they won't.

Remember this is the the same industry selling horse armor, selling over 2k dollars of dlc in the Sims 4, shipping unfinished games after millionaire pre-orders, and selling dlc that fix day one problems that shouldn't even be there. And they do this because the community never questioned when they were small enough problems.

From my very small knowledge, yes, beer was consumed at room temperature. In Germany it still is, for example. Also, beer had less alcohol and was much more like bread in that it was nutritious and filling than what we have now.

Unless they go undercover to research cat girls with military funds.

Your comment made me really nostalgic for the days of setting up pan parties, configuring hamachi servers, etc. Good old days
