0% would be uplifting. This is still way too many people supporting a piece of shit.

It’s shit, fuck, satan, death, sex, drugs, rape

Balatro and dead cells

1. Nintendo doesn’t sell at a loss.

2. This argument only takes inflation into account and the cost of making the games, while ignoring that games sell many more copies than in the past. Gaming is much more popular than in the N64 era.

Say you need to make $100 to break even. If you can assume a third of console owners will buy. Say 300 people own the console, you can sell for $1 and make the hundred.

Now say games are more expensive to make, you need $300 to break even. But now there’s 1000 people that own the console. With the same third buying your game at $1 you’re now making $333.

3. Most games already cost more than $70 if you want the complete game. Ubisoft is typically $140 I think for the base game and expansions plus tons of micro transactions. Increasing the base price to $90 would be more accepted if we weren’t already being fucked over with the current pricing model which is just going to get worse.

Edit: why is my 3 showing as a 1? Is this a sync formatting issue or something with lists in lemmy?

I don’t recall if it was mandatory during setup or not. I can control it locally when the internet is down, at least from the wall, I don’t think the app would work. But again, I wanted the remote features so I didn’t even try to set it up without an account.

Home assistant may work as well, but I don’t use it.

It’s really not bad. Sign in, goes to a page that just says not found. 3 dot>open in app and you’re in.

Logging in via the app. It launches the browser. If using Firefox you have to do the extra step I mentioned.

Here’s the screen.

Ecobee also requires chrome, but had a work around. Not sure if it’ll work here, but ecobee said to hit the 3 dot menu and choose open in app after the login failed and that logged you in.

My recliner has a USB plug. It’s slower than fuck. Like plugging into an old pc USB.

Shit like that is why I hardly game on my phone. Even paying to remove ads, now you get a stupid little bonus to watch the ad instead.

Netflix actually has some decent games with no ads like monument valley and cut the rope, but I recently canceled Netflix.

Which just leaves balatro. Any other actual good games on Android that can be played with touch and don’t follow the typical phone game format?

Cut the rope, where’s my water, quell used to be good examples of fairly priced fun games. Even cut the rope ended up going the mobile crap way with micro transactions instead of just buying the game for a couple bucks like it started.

Entire video is worth watching. He also snuck a chest mounted lidar into Disney and mapped some rides.

I’d say most are frost free. Freezer in mini fridges being a big exception.

My very first place, gf at the time used a butter knife to chip out ice from the freezer. Yeah, had to buy a new one.

Knowing this, and that a coworker wanted to do the same with the mini fridge I of course warn them about how easy it is to puncture the refrigeration line. And yeah another dead fridge.

Must have made decent money with the price. I know I’m not paying for an app that’s been out of date for so long. So he’s lost my ultra renewal, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Article basically says CoD launched. No shit…

64% of consumer spending on Microsoft titles in December was on PlayStation formats (driven by Call of Duty)

And yet it seems to be doing better on PS.

Similar to a joke my dad told in the 90’s

If Microsoft ever makes a product that doesn’t suck, it’ll be a vacuum cleaner.

I don’t do it with lots of oil. I mentioned putting bacon fat in a tin can, so we’re talking less than you’d get cooking bacon. See my other reply about semantics of absorb. For small amounts, the oil will emulsify with the soap. Which then can be rinsed away with water. This is how it makes your dishes clean, I’m sure it works the same down the drain.

We’re not in science class.

https://sciencing.com/adding-soap-oil-water-7408600.html

soap molecules can break the oil molecules into smaller ones and allow the water molecules attached to them to surround the smaller oil fragments, creating an emulsion.

Is close enough in plain english to absorb the oil.

If small amounts of oil that hardens when at room temp, like bacon fat. Throw it in a tin can to cool, garbage when the can fills. Oil that doesn’t harden, personally I put a bunch of dish soap into the oily pan to absorb the oil and wash it down the sink. Not sure if the dish soap does enough but seems safe to me.

If its a large amount, like for deep frying. Local recycling might take it. I know curbside pickup will take used motor oil for me, so I imagine they’d take fryer oil too.

In 2022, we ran an ad featuring a teacher from Bethel Park High School, in which several unpaid students briefly appeared in the background, including Thomas Matthew Crooks,

BlackRock, which oversees an estimated $9.1 trillion in assets

I’m more upset that such a rich company is profiting off unpaid teens.
