Oh yeah idk, thats the problem with those estimates is people don’t usually buy everything at full price, they rent or wait for sales or subscribe to a streaming service or gamepass, so even if you assume pepple would have bought everything they pirate, how do you assign a value to it. Like i wasn’t even thinking about movie tickets, i was thinking like 20 or 30 bucks for a bluray. Idk how much they are because i haven’t bought any in ages though lol.

Also 90% of the people who work on movies don’t usually get royalties. They’ve already been paid for their work, who cares if the production company CEO gets a few extta bucks?

Hi FBI. I will just say 5000 seems crazy low though, especially if you’re assuming a movie is $20-$30 and a game is like $10-$80. Dunno how you’d calculate tv shows but dvd/bluray seasons/box sets can get real expensive fast.

Ive also been playing with that mod and its awesome, really made the game feel so much smoother and more fluid. Ive been using the balanced mode though since the higher performance ones seemed to make everything look really foggy. FSR seems to work and look way better on the deck too. The only thing I’ve found so far about the gameplay that im not really fond of is that if you dont cycle out your reserve party they level so much slower and end up underleveled, so you have to keep switching uo your main party to make sure everyone is balanced. Also the platforming on the gestral beach is a fucking joke and i honestly think they might have put it in just as a tongue in cheek reference to how shit the game engine is.

Iirc what.cd was freeleech for the first week, so i did go nuts. Downloaded anything that seemed popular that didn’t have a huge amount of seeders, and then after the freeleech period ended i downloaded basically every freeleech torrent i could find whether i wanted it or not, just for the seeding. This let me keep quite a good ratio despite having a terrible upload speed at the time. Alot of sites will also give bonus seeder points for uploading new torrents i think, especially if they have a request or bounty system.

Why would yhere always need to be hunger? Its been proven over and over that this is a solvable problem and we have more than enough resources to solve it. They even put a monetary amount on it and it could easily be solved by a single billionaire. And then we know that once people arent starving or desperate for shelter and constantly concerned about their basic needs and survival, crime goes way down. And why does there need to be war? Because the oil companies or mercenaries and military industrial complex demands it? Let them die and we could easily have a much better society that takes care of all peoples basic needs. Its really not that complicated.

In my area in ontario i dont think i have seen any unmarked cars in a few years at least, but for a while about 5-10 years ago they were pulling all sorts of shit, i saw an unmarked pickup truck, like 4 different models of unmarked suvs, and at least a couple different unmarked cruiser designs. They were being sneaky as hell with it for a bit.

I dont believe this is true in practice as much as you might like it to be, and I’d love to see any actual data you might have to support your assertion

Its literally a false review, designed to counter the multiple negative real reviews that have been left recently. Its a false narrative designed to induce the reader into doubting the ture narrative of the other genuine reviews, or possibly even influence a potential reviewer by coloring their actual experience with the app. Definitely fits the definition you posted, even if its inconsistent with the example they gave.

Maybe just make a fucking forum? Jesus why did discord ever get popular in the first place?

They’ve got the REAL 36 lessons locked away in there.

This study is actually kind of sad, because upon further reflection on the data, it was found that the kids with “poor impulse control” were actually less likely to trust authority figures because they had experienced so many letdowns or broken promises from adult role models in their lives. Kids with happy home lives who were used to getting treats were way more likely to wait for the second marshmallow, whereas kids who had been consistently lied to or had never been given spontaneous treats by their caretakers were more likely to just take what was right in front of them.

He doesnt actually know how to write songs, but in his head he “knows” hes the main character, so he thinks hes gonna get a group of musicians together, start playing some shitty chord, and everything will just fall into place and the bassist and drummer will stsrt playing along with some brilliant ideas of their own that he can take all the credit for because he’s the frontman and he started the band.

Yeah thats what you say to youreelf at 5 am when the birds are chirping and the sun is coming out. “Its fine ill just sleep for a couple hours and get up, and then I’ll get an early night tonight to make up for it”.

Hadnt heard of this one so i did a search but anker games (dot) my is the first one that came up and looked sketchy, so i checked fmhy and they link to ankergames (dot) net, so i assume thats the reliable one just fyi.

Archive.org has been operating for 30 years. You think your shitty little sarcasm is equivalent to an institution thats been around nearly as long as the internet, and yet has entirely resisted and avoided any of the enshittification thats infected literally everything else thats come after it? The internet archive is one of the last fundamentally good and public serving institutions and somehow you’re licking the boots of record companies trying to capitalize on expired copyright claims. Reexamine your priorities and fuck off while youre at it, since your ‘better idea’ is clearly to just do nothing at all.

Well yeah, peobably got too cold for them to rot they were refridgerated all winter. Of course i dont know exactly where you live or what the weather is like but give it a couple months.

Sounds like a cool idea, why don’t you set it up?

Makes me think of Squirrel Nut Zippers

“Cerebral”, “charm”, “4chan” lmao okay.
