Because every single thing about those games is a psychological ploy to get people to spend as much money as physically possible. They run studies on what tweaks get people to spend more or less and I guarantee the numbers they show in the store have been studied.

It's highly likely they fudge those numbers or outright lie.

I've always been too much of a cheapskate curmudgeon to pay for food delivery and I've been increasingly baffled by people who pay hundreds of dollars a month to have cold, soggy fast food delivered at an eye watering premium.

I get laziness, I really do. For me, personally, going to pick up food is the lazy option.

Is that anything like transpiling?

Just begging for butter.

I hate watermelon. Even the best, most ripe watermelon sucks. But usually they're mealy and watery in flavor. They also remind me of the taste of cucumbers, which I hate more, unless they're pickled.

Just a preface that I don't like PoE.

Season 4 is a lot more fun, but I still think D3 is a better game. But if you compare D4 to what D3 was like at after release, D4 is in much better shape. It's definitely heading in the right direction, and I suspect that the expansion in August will make it much better, similar to how D2 and D3 did.

Back to season 4, I leveled to max level, maxed out the battle pass, and experienced all of the content and that was good enough for me. I want really interested in sticking around to switch to better build and get the best gear.

"Regulatory capture" is one way that regulated capitalism can fail. Bring that, I'm not sure.

I had one of those at my job. They fired him.

I assume that's supposed to be like hollandaise.

They are working! They're generating hundreds of thousands of dollars for a company billions in debt.
