This is truly, truly the stupidest timeline.

Has it got what plants crave?

Except this is just “some canvas effects” on a picture. It’s not remotely how a real painting in canvas looks

That’s a very good point

Probably by image searching it, and finding the r/whatisthisthing post where both this pic and the joke are from.

You underestimate the level of “Fuck you got mine” in most cousin fuckers

I don’t recommend investing to anyone, because this is absolutely bound to happen. I just say “Hey, I invest via [broker], and mostly in broad ETFs”.

If they want advice, I’ll tell them anything except for names, because the minute I do, they’ll buy, the price will drop and they’ll sell and get angry at me.

Meh, I bought a few t-shirts for 3 bitcoins way back when.

Of course, I never would have held on to them till 100k. I would have sold a dozen times over between 10 euros and 100.000 euros.

What? That’s completely wrong.

If it was set up as a currency, it was set up entirely wrong. There is a capped amount of bitcoin, and over time bitcoin will dissapear. That means a smaller supply will represent equal value (well not really, since it isn’t backed by anything), meaning it’s deflationary.

Deflationary assets are by definitions bad currency and great investments.

A big feature AND problem with the live-service market is that gamers STAY engaged with the games. The majority of players play your random RTS for a few weeks, maybe a month, and then move on. But these live service hero shooters keep pumping out content to keep players invested and build in a ton of engagement sinks so you won’t leave.

As a result, you can’t have “The next Marvel Rivals” like you had “The next Command and Conquer” or “The next Battlefield”, because everyone is still playing the current Marvel Rivals. That results in a completely saturated market. If you want a player, you’re going to have to drag them away from their current game, which they’re comfortable with and have a massive investment in.

If you’re releasing the next Assassin’s Creed, you don’t need to be amazing, you just need to wait for people to finish the last one and deliver something pretty nice. Maybe it’s better, maybe it’s worse, but the field is empty so who cares. For Live-Service, you don’t just need to be better than the rest, you need to be sufficiently better that all the players are willing to abandon their huge investment in the other game and switch to you.

And well, your game might dissapear any second, while their game has been around for years and surely will stay around foreeeever.

Oh yeah, you’re right!

Here in the Netherlands I’ve never seen it not come in a tub.

Where does creme cheese come in blocks?

So, you prefer Freud to Nietzsche?

There’s a move button? Why?

And also, why is that person using AutoCad, when they clearly should be given a fancy table and some different sizes of pencil.

Gekoloniseerd makker!

So, don’t live in a city.

Dutch universities: “bike parking is free. There’s a bus stop in front of every building and busses are free for students. Why would we waste everyone’s money just so you can park for free?”

Zog lives in death!

Even edge has that nowadays.
