Exactly. I know plenty of people who have driven a car for over 3 decades, and do not know what a timing belt or a spark plug does. I don’t look down on those people, but it certainly makes sense as to why they don’t know. They don’t really need to!

This is a bold statement considering how many daily Windows users don’t understand how to use Windows.

I came here to say this. I go into zen mode when ironing my clothes because I only have to do it when I’m either celebrating or doing something very important to me.

All these other things to worry about, but right now, my only enemy is this wrinkle next to the collar.

Crazy how you managed to photoshop the decimal point to the left by so many digits!

(I know, it’s only a partial payment)

No, it’s $31.07. You likely combined the 92 cents and 18 cents to a dollar instead of a dollar and 10 cents.

3 days worth of food? Maybe 3 meals for a child, not 3 days.

By utilizing the Choose 2 combo, the total cost (assuming same delivery cost and adjusted tax) would be about $25 dollars including a 20% tip (based on total and not subtotal, as in the picture). However, that would include a medium pizza instead of a small pizza.

It’s not a massive difference. It is definitely a meaningful difference, but it’s still pretty costly for 2 meals worth of food.

I think as the game progresses, you get to see why Astarion is so eager to act in his own interests. However, his backstory really only justifies half of his refusal to help people. The other half of his whining feels antithetical to his own situation, but perhaps that’s just because he doesn’t fully acknowledge his newfound freedoms until Act 2.

Thanks for providing a lot of insight to the conversation.

I would argue No Man’s Sky started the trend of “release now fix later” but I suppose they are not a big AAA studio. I suppose CDPR wasn’t really considered as AAA until the release of Witcher 3.

EA is practically begging people to pirate their single-player experiences.

I learned algebra around the same stage of my education. But to be fair, my parents were spending money to keep me learning accelerated math.

Make it four :)

I feel you on the gift part. I’m quite picky about shitty products. That being said, I don’t complain when I receive a gift I don’t necessarily like, I just grumble when I use said gift in private.

The people who spend too much researching before purchasing all know the feeling of endlessly finding products that intrigue them, only to find a handful of glaring flaws.

I am frequently disappointed.

A lot of birdwatching, maybe some music-making, and learning to cook very well.

Bastion will make you feel like you’re reading a book. It’s one of my all-time favorites, by the developers now best known for Hades.

Then, construct your comment in a way that conveys such information without automatically ostracizing them from ever having sympathy for your cause. You’re never going to build curiosity in those unaware of your cause if you begin by chasing them away.

Don’t you feel it’s a bit counterintuitive to call someone tonedeaf for being unaware of “International Day of Solidarity with Long Term Anarchist Prisoners”, something that more than 99.9999% of people are likely unaware of?

Wouldn’t you be better off, say, helping build awareness of such a day instead of simply berating someone for not knowing about it? At the moment, you’re teaching people to treat it like a joke.

ALL of the ching chong jokes, lots of dog-eating comments, being told I wasn’t welcome in white gf’s family, etc. I feel that.
