That’s likely what is preventing any new subscription based mmo. Why bother with a reliable and fair price when lootbox bullshit makes you 10x the money.

Only if you live in a super specific climate that you could grow enough variety of plants or drastically change the definition of homesteading.

It’s not about need it’s about efficiency. Milk lets you get calories, especially protein in a way that doesn’t kill the animal with less effort than hunting and gathering. That allows for a time and labor surplus that can enable specialization and society as a whole to exist. It’s not just drinking, butter, cheese, baking, and fermentation with it are super common uses.

A large part is fear of rejection and you are paying for an AI girlfriend anyway, it gets pretty blurry.

Is it? Prostitution has existed since forever. Women as property is still a cultural norm in some countries that exist today. We are within living memory of marital rape becoming a crime in the US.

They may actually be doing it l. There was a leaked presentation from after trump won the first time that Google was going to stop being neutral and start being more active in pushing their beliefs.

Yep. Coal and wood as the main energy sources are absolutely awful. Global warming would be gone because people would be dead from the pollution. There’s a reason that there were tons of maids cleaning old mansions constantly.

Thursday is the day things start getting pushed to next week and you can have a celebratory end of the week drink. Friday is just a wait out the clock day with low expectations.

Tuesday is the true worst day of the week.

This episode felt like a south park episode. The first was purely an attack on Trump, which may have been necessary, but it’s not a great episode of south park.

Democrats have already been playing this game. Illinois already only has 2 Republicans in the house, California uses a jungle primary that helps prevent Republicans from winning. New York has a lot of close districts already.

There is also evidence that an out of court settlement happened between those companies. Notably moving away from cerebrates in SC2.

Cross platform games aren’t a buggy mess, everyone else has figured it out. Nintendo could do it as well.

Nintendo is heavily reliant on physical media and traditional retailers, they aren’t getting anywhere near 100% of most sales. Brick and mortar takes around a 50% cut, Amazon takes a cut as well. Being on Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam isn’t a significant difference in what they would make.

They would still sell a lot of consoles, the super fans are going to buy Nintendo consoles. The people that actually own multiple consoles in the same generation aren’t actually that big of a group, especially compared to non-Nintendo owners that would consider buying a few games if they were available.

There’s a few titles that have relied on gimmicks that would be difficult or impossible to do on other systems. It would be a temporary learning curve to get games able to support multiple platforms, but everyone else has already done it and Nintendo consoles have been the least powerful systems so it should be easier.

How many people buy Nintendo for exclusives isn’t super relevant. The important questions are how many more games would they sell if they were multi-platform, and how many fewer consoles they would sell if their games were available elsewhere. They would very likely sell substantially more games, but also likely see a significant reduction in console sales. This would still likely be a win as the games are far higher margin than the consoles.

I wish there was one that didn’t require nearly every phone permission all the time.

Lots of breaches are entirely preventable, but lots of companies don’t like to pay for qualified employees that could prevent them.

Lots of golf courses also use or are part of the waste water system in the area.
