Haha, I sleep in a hoodie and my wife is baffled by it, she’s a furnace and couldn’t possibly.

I really enjoy having that hood, feels like I’m strapping into sleep time.

Disagree! Sleeping with the windows cracked open in the winter is amazing.

They work in my town just outside a large metro area in the US.

That said, no one seems to actually use them here and are always crossing traffic at the worst times.

It’s really frustrating to watch people of every age playing chicken with cars daily.

I think there is also upside here by formally allowing renters to positively affect their credit history through consistent renting.

Homeowners and credit card owners can improve their credit via consistent payments, why not renters?

(Yes, I do know there are ways to have your lease impacting your credit but they aren’t a default and many renters would benefit from the credit boost this could enable)

I’m nearly at 7 with my employer and I’ve found the situation to be quite good and I see no sign yet to jump ship. There’s still good gigs out there.

I’m sure the person you are responding to had good reason to stick around 20 years. It’s possible only recently did the math not work out for them.

You do realize those are usually exclusive for only a year, right? So EGS pays them out for a year of exclusivity and then the devs are free to launch on steam and others.

The thing is, often if they don’t get that first infusion of cash from a deal with EGS (or another investor) they don’t get to complete or even launch the game at all. So it never would make it to the other markets.

I have a pair of wired ath m50x from 2008. They still work well and on the third set of pads.

Could you pull the ladder up behind you any harder?

For me it was when his videos turned into advertisements blatant for paying the bills. He moved to CA, lost the passion for yt (which I don’t blame him, life happens) but then the videos he would make were soulless adverts in his vlog style.

He seems to be “back” now doing videos with passion and vigor. I hope he’s having fun again

Could you elaborate on which? I’ve seen a lot of sketchy reviews recently

Surprised you don’t take this sort of detail up to your skip level. Corporations are not entirely blind to issues in all cases. Actually, I bet you have raised these concerns. For all the folks nodding along, talk to your boss’ boss!! You owe it to yourself to try

I mean the game came out in 2012. It’s not really that absurd to base ones licensing contracts for 14 years when the medium (games) generate the vast majority of their revenue in the first months.

Most digital products have an end of life. I agree that the whole digital ownership part isn’t fair, but I don’t think a 14 year selling window due to licensing is the part to be mad at.

Not so sure that the bankrupted blockbuster is a great example of how a business should be run.

Blockbuster failed for a few reasons chiefly that they didn’t adapt to the internet fast enough. However their rental model did not bring in the revenues.

Whereas the competition, Netflix, did offer similar services (rented movies) for a flat subscription. Yes, Netflix also offered it via mail, however the Netflix model has (nearly) always been a flat subscription for its movies.

Arguably, using evidence we’ve seen in real life, the subscription model is preferred by consumers and businesses alike. (Note: I don’t like them and have strived to cancel most of the subscriptions services I use)

Bend gets snowed out frequently and suffers from a lack of diversity. It could use some more folks for sure but idk if people would want to live there in the winter

Uhh what? There’s no American tax website to login into to “verify” things were handled right. One still has to do a decent amount of work copying data into third party for-profit company web forms.

While it’s easy for some to manage, it’s by no means a simple process compared to what some other countries offer

I’ve jumped in a few times since they started letting people play years ago! I’m a big fan and am eager to give 1.0 a whirl.

I like how they are embracing the solo vs trading play style and leaning into rewarding both types of players uniquely with power for that choice.

Arpgs like Diablo or pathofexile are my “will always play” games. Like you I’ve played the mmos, shooters, and others and feel like I’ve “finished” those genres and am satisfied not going back unless with friends.

It’s both a nice feeling but also a sad one. I still follow fps games and watch videos of them, but playing them… Meh

Use it daily and don’t have any ads. Idk what is different with my setup

I went and didn’t see what you meant. Most every comment agrees with the video.

It’s funny, you are us vs theming. You are doing what the video talked about by making sweeping generalizations about a specific community based on your perception of their surrounding culture (reddit).

People in the real world like to rub their parts together and don’t concern themselves with these labels.

Yes these labels are meaningful and can help you define who you are and what you want but don’t let them get in the way of finding someone who wants to consensually rub parts. It’s really just an Internet thing and niche sex culture.
