See. I need this kind of person to do game reviews. Not gushing. Not hating. Not analyzing from industry knowledge. Like a guy who says the game is “meh” and spends 15 minutes giving us the concise reasons that the game was not to his tastes.

This is great stuff but I want to warn folks about expensive luxury goods vs expensive durable goods.

Some things are expensive because they are luxurious or have lots of features but they still wear out fast. These days fewer and fewer things are expensive because they endure lots of use.

I learned the hard way with boxer shorts. I found the perfect boxer shorts after years of searching. Silky and light but warm in winter yet somehow no swamp ass in summer. Amazing combo of merino wool & some synthetic fabric.

The problem was they were $35 a pair on clearance.. $75 regular. But I bought 10 pairs anyway. Well, the thing is, I didn’t realize they were no more durable than a typical pair of cotton boxers. Maybe less so. A year later, I had to replace them all.

That’s when I realized that it was a rich person’s only product. To them, a $1000 annual boxer short expense is nothing. But I can’t live that way. It hurt to give up wearing them.

achieved what it set out to do can be hit or miss

Damn. I know you meant well, but you sound like a project manager of a feature on an insurance website and the minimum viable product was kinda janky and you are trying to soften the blow to the team during the lessons learned meeting.

But this is a video game. For relaxation and recreation. With lots of competition in the market. What you wrote is more of a condemnation than any hyperbolic gamer nerd rant.

That’s what kills me. This guy who is smart in other ways is so naive as to think HR is some kind of ally to employees and that illegal contracts are enforceable.

Don’t worry because this is exactly how it feels.

I’m in my mid 50s this year and only 5 years ago I was 35. The entirety of my 40s lasted as long as my late 30s.

Tidal locking plus solar flares.

Every YouTube video from credible sources is filled with several unlikely ifs regarding habitable planets around red dwarfs. The odds are slim.

Also, in general, I avoid journalists informing me what scientists are saying and get my information straight from scientist communicators. Journalist income is based on advertising views, and they think that “new exoplanet probably does NOT have aliens” won’t generate sufficient ad revenue.

I’m not done eating the last batch of pizza rolls that Mr Plinkette mailed me.

Around an M type star. It orbits 0.083 AU away from its star. Its atmosphere is probably long gone. Fuggidaboutit.

As proof of your hypothesis, I am offering the PvP experience in Elder Scrolls Online. So-called “ball groups” dominate. Ball group members all agree to wear armor sets that boost the other members of the group and are complimentary with other armor sets worn by fellow members.

These group-focused armor sets mean that individual members are weaker alone than players wearing armor sets which enhance individual performance. But a ball group can take down groups several times their size if the other groups are composed of players with only individual enhancing armor sets.

Computer programming is to computer science as telescope operation is to astronomy.
