Do a flip!

How many people came here to feel superior for knowing the song, then realizing how old they are?

PAZUZU!!!

You are not allowed to wear shorts or eat pizza while she is home?

Its probably a standard Musk project. Show futuristic marketing pictures/videos of round pod-style futuristic vehicles to billionaire oligarchs and clueless politicians with a buzzword salad, until the hype brings in investors. Interest in his companies goes up, the imaginary price of the company goes up, his imaginary gold pile gets bigger.

Then pocket the money and fail miserably delivering even a fraction of the promised things.

The tunnel in Las Vegas, Hyperloop, Cybertruck, Robotaxi (still in progress afaik) Tiny House, the electric freight truck (I don’t remember its name), the various Mars projects just to name a few.

I see no problem with this

Switched to Mint over a year ago from win 10 on my desktop and my wives laptop, we both love it. It was fresh, user friendly and familiar in the same time. To be fair we are pretty much average users without any specialized needs, other than gaming.

Later this year I built a new gaming pc 100% with Linux in mind. I am running Bazzite on it and it works absolutely amazing. Bazzite is currently my favourite distro. Im not a distro hopper or a big tinkerer myself, don’t have time for experimenting, so not planning to switch. It just works perfectly.

Come out with your pants down!

Exactly. My limit is also under 10 eur for most games on my wishlist, or 20 eur for games Im interested the most.

Pro financial tip: Be a patient gamer. Get the games you are interested in during sales. Fuck FOMO, subscription models and pre-orders.

You are right, Lego prices are one of the few, which didn’t go up as much as other popular toy brands, in fact for a few decades now they managed to be consistent with prices.

The audience is huge for SW and Lego amongst adults makes it possible to release these enormous multi-thousand piece sets, which pushes the prices up. More pieces = higher price.

Its a lots of money? Yes.

Is it more overpriced, than the average lego set price per piece in general? No.

Not playing the devils advocate, only as a fun fact:

The price of lego sets per piece (PPP) is pretty consistent over the years, almost since the 80s. Even the licenced sets are staying relatively close to the average PPP.

The big difference is, that all the Lego enthusiast kids from the 80s and 90s are now adults with disposable income and Lego is riding this wave since the mid 2000s by releasing bigger and bigger sets aiming mainly adults, who can in theory buy them.

Here is an insanely in-depth analysis about the prices if someone is interested:

Exactly, when a game on purpose disrespects your time and forces you to repeat things for no reason.

Some call it a difficulty curve, I don’t call it anything, just uninstall it.

Apart from the endless EA, Ubisoft and similar AAA copy/paste titles I never understood the hype around MOBA games.

I don’t get it. Its not real time strategy, but not an ARPG either, you dont create a character, instead have an insane pool of unique characters with a few abilities each. Its just feels like someone wrote down some random game mechanics and choose 5 at random.

All levels are basically the same with mild variations and the whole gameplay loop boils down to optimised fast clicking on abilities and to get strong asap.

Its super boring for me and couldn’t spend more than a couple hours with the games from the genre. Same goes for watching other people play.

Its just a cherry on top to have the biggest tournaments and cash prices, while the top players are celebrated as superstars. Also somehow the biggest MOBA communities are infamous for toxicity.

Definitely not my cup of tea.

They all look like the muppet version of Luke Skywalker

Remnant 2 - as much as I suck at souls-likes, I am keep going back to this one. Loved the first one, beat it multiple times with friends and randos, but I think the sequel improved on every aspect. Just started a new character (of course the puppy class) and slowly progressing throught the firs world solo.

I don’t know what restaurants you go to, but during my adult life not once “water please” failed to get me a glass of water.

Sometimes the waiter asks if bottled or tap, but thats about it.

Bought one when moved to a different country and had to pack a lots of big boxes.

Its great time saver, only downside is how god awful loud they can be.
