I don’t think I’ve ever played a game more than 200 or 300 hours.

dunno about budget, I’m just taking in terms of the demand for these types of movies.

I have a feeling it’s because zany animated movies are an easier sell to kids.

Astronomy Cast

well it’s a six inch display so presumably it’ll be a lot cheaper. maybe designed with an always-on display. And the UI optimized for home oriented stuff. could be interesting.

until the demand for it skyrockets. then it’s either gone or just as expensive as all the tariffed coffee.

agreed. I’m just saying “simple” or “complex” has nothing to do with it.

you can have simple games without predatory monetization. that’s what OP is talking about.

great. now I want a sunbeam radiant control toaster.

also the air circulation is more intense in an air fryer, and it’s a smaller enclosed space which is easier to keep at a high temperature. both of these also help food cook more evenly.

it’s the same general idea but they don’t perform the same.

ES6 will be fine. Starfield was doomed from the beginning because of the silly space exploration structure.

TIL Snow Leopard is retro.

unless you already played it and want something new.

wasted too much time on starfield, FO76, and mobile games. that’s all they have released since 2018. and if you don’t count VR editions or special editions then you’re back to 2016 with FO4.

8 years of junk. They could have made TWO elder scrolls in that time.

if you (not you specifically but anyone reading) find this happens often enough to be debilitating you may benefit from seeing a psychiatrist for anxiety/depression medication. My wife was like that and it made an immediate difference for her.

All that sounds like your subjective view not based on data. Not saying the DNC is perfect by any means, but it’s clear the economy was by far the #1 issue in this election. I mentioned exit polls earlier, and also Trump was way up compared to 2020 even in extremely rural counties. Israel, Cheney, Stein, etc have nothing to do with that.

exactly. I think whoever ended up as the D candidate was going to take the blame for the massive pandemic inflation. They were destined for failure from the beginning.

Looking at exit polls, people were far more concerned with the economy than anything else. I don’t think Israel mattered much to average people. Biden/Harris got fucked with pandemic inflation and people are too dumb to realize it had nothing to do with them. And that will be further reinforced because inflation is under control now so Trump will look great having done nothing whatsoever.

“I’m unhappy, financially so I’m going to vote for the felon, racist, sexist, fascist” still doesn’t add up.

sure it does. people are not 100% rational. they will use motivated reasoning to justify whatever they need to vote for (what they perceive to be) their best interests.
