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.

Junkies also say “i need this for work”. In fact i bet thats a major contributing factor in a lot of addictions - not having 2-7 days free where you can detox and be a sweaty emotional disgusting mess.

Connect (an amazing Canadian lemmy app) automatically shows all the communities a post has been crossposted to above the comments, and shows comment numbers for each of the cross posts. Its made my experience so much better. Theres a ton of other benefits to the app too, and the dev is super quick to respond to any issues. Can’t recommend it enough.

Can confirm. When i first met my fiance, i gave her a tea box that i filled with pretty rocks, shells, pinecones etc. that i had found and enjoyed. We spent basically every day together for a month, but i already had a move planned and after i moved we drifted apart. Saw eachother maybe once every couple years as friends, and we both had other relationships. Then 6 years later we both got out of long relationships at the same time, ended up reconnecting, and basically immediately moved in together. She still had the box. Now we’ve lived together for 5 years and are getting married soon. Girls like pretty things that you find on the ground, and they like it even more when those pretty things make you think of her.

Yeah this one so much. I think its still amazing and the two seasons can each kinda stand on their own, and still have satisfying endings, but just knowing that they had an entire 5 season arc planned out drives me crazy considering how great that show was.

Just played this on steamdeck and it was incredible. I really cant see it being that good on mobile though.

I had a 2006 escape with a v6 that felt amazing to drive. That thing accelerated like a beast. Anytime someone with a flashy sports car would pull up beside me at a red light and be revving their engine id floor it as soon as the light changed and leap ahead of them, until i hit 60 and then id level off and let them pull ahead. Such a satisfying feeling watching these wxpensive new cars drop behind though. Of course thats probably all due to their drivers, i dont acrual have any illusions that it was the faster car in most cases, but it did have very unexpected power and a nice amount of cargo space. I really miss that car. Shame they seem to have gone downhill.

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.

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?

Ive had signal running on my phone for years, its the only way my partner and i text eachother, and i dont think ibe e ever had to enter my pin. Maybe once.

Its spelled pristine lmao, thats why the other guy put it in quotes.

Can play gamecube/wii games and most ps2. Ps3 you’re gonna have problems with even with a steamdeck sometimes.

You can buy handhelds for like $100 that have basically every console game up to and including ps2/ds preloaded. What else would you need?

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

Just played through both of these, they were so good.

Why couldn’t you just format the entire drive with the linux installer?
