That's what I think as well. Most likely just daily pricing updates for the exact legal reason SoyViking says.
I worked IT in grocery for a long time. The company I worked for was starting to sell these as I was leaving so I don't know a lot of the behind the scenes talk anymore, but the general thought was just for it to be a replacement of the paper labels that they usually replace weekly anyway. Maintaining shelf labels is actually a huge pain in the ass.
I finally got a chance to give it a listen and I really enjoyed it overall. The jazzy song structure of the first few tracks (chorus-instrumental improv-chorus) was a little off-putting to me, but after about halfway through I was really everything they were doing. I don't know why but every time I hear an upright bass organically mixed into a rock track it gives me a nice fuzzy feeling. I haven't heard anything of theirs since Contra released and they've definitely come a looong way in terms of mixing and composition.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to check out how they've matured over the years. I enjoyed them back when they were relevant, but as you say they were way too upbeat and simplistic to stand up over time. Definitely some fun guitar riffs to play though.
Yeah, I sincerely don't understand why people keep buying these games. Bioware massacred all the gameplay elements that actually made the game special.
Because the playerbase moves to the latest game on release and the multiplayer of the older games stops being fun because it's exclusively tryhards.
Kind of. When I like a new game I have a tendency to obsessively play it until I burn myself out, take a break, and forget it exists and never finish. Makes the prospect of playing long rpg's both exhausting and tough.
I feel this way as well. I always like the idea of playing it more than I like the actual experience. I really appreciate that it's a complex well written and executed story, but I would rather watch a stream of someone playing it than actually play through it myself.
This happens with a lot of really good crpg's too for me and it really bums me out. I'm probably just weird though.
Idk man, you do have to know subgenres on some level even if it's just vibes based. I have to know enough to communicate that I like Trance and Progressive but fucking hate Drums and Bass(liquid is okay though I guess) at least.
Did they stop selling the Doritos locos stuff too or did they just pivot to this extremely similar brand partnership to do capitalism stuff? I feel like they fill too similar of a niche to be in the same place as the same time. I say this as a (homemade) crunch wrap enjoyer who wants it to succeed.
Just going to leave this here.
What does real opsec look like? Knowing that you are being surveilled when you use any electronic device and not saying things that could incriminate you. Treat electronic devices like you are in a public space
This the the unfortunate reality that most privacy focused individuals inevitably realize as they narrow down their threat model.
The lengths that you need to go to to even attempt to have true anonymity are intensely identifying in and of themself because you will be an exceptionally unique user. It's the same fallacy as burning your fingerprints off and it makes you more uniquely recognizable than before under scrutiny.
Not the whole time. Sometimes you get put in stupid looking underwear so you can shit yourself without dignity while everyone laughs at how smelly you are.
