Going off track… the best feature here is that you can block users. Catch about 10 “big fish” and you’ll find that it’s much more normal around here. 0.1% of users create 90% of the drama and squabbling.

Cut the shit.

8k is effectively dead

This doesn’t even sound like a real business. This sounds like one of those extemporaneous pitches that gets pulled out of the ass after martini 3, delivered by the sales doofus that doesn’t know how to send an email.

The red flag that caught my eye was all the cheerleading and then snuck at the bottom was (paraphrased) ‘well, people can play as much as they want but, ya know, if it’s like 10 games a month we might have to look at stuff’.

So, what? It’s subscription service but the games vanish (oh you can buy them individually) and and if you use the service for its advertised purpose, there’s going to be problems - only $7.99 ?

I should have said martini 8

It definitely sucked at the time, but it also taught me some key lessons.

Like don’t assume a game is good because it comes in a nice box. Don’t assume a licensed IP means good gameplay. Read reviews, don’t just make a snap purchase.

It was a huge loss for me at the time but I feel like these lessons actually saved me quite a bit of money/frustration over the years.

Platoon for C64. Saved up for it.

Piece of shit. And disc 2 didn’t work.

Breathing saved your marriage, helps you code…

Is there anything else breathing helps you with? If so I think you need to immediately fire up your shitty AI writing tool, make a new Lemmy post and copy/paste what it regurgitates.

“care deeply about Windows”

Fuck face… Not one person cares deeply about Windows… We just want this giant shit heap of bloated code to respect BASIC user needs.

That puts over 60% of the American population on the bus.

No. Just ludicrously rich as her father started a nation-wide retail giant. She’s never worked a day in her life, upwards of $60M in personal assets. Utterly delusional as it relates to how the world works and how others live. Buying an entire X, having one bite and throwing the rest out is her default.

She buys a full $32 cut fruit platter, eats one chunk of pineapple, puts platter in fridge until it rots into slime and then has her maid discard it. She’ll buy a 12 pack of bagels, eat a quarter of ONE bagel and throw the other 11 straight into the trash.

Really.

You can slurp them all you want! Just don’t cook them. Take em raw.

This kid missed the “be seen, not heard lesson”

Thrifting as well in the last year. I used to be able to walk into a thrift, drop $60, and with a little bit of work and repair and cleaning I could turn that into $300 resale

I haven’t had a profitable find at a thrift store in 6 months. I haven’t found anything at thrift that’s even worth looking at.

Last year when I was hitting the food bank so I could survive, an obscenely rich friend sent me a text message “I’m heading for a 2 week cruise this Christmas, where are you going?”

The fact that McDonald’s exists is proof that advertising works.
