Without having watched the video (olol) I will say this is true of me at least. I buy very few new games anymore; I've got such a backlog thanks to various sales (looking at you, Steam) that I couldn't hope to ever finish all of my games anyway. Plus as I get older I have less and less time for gaming.

I know my parents bought the house I grew up in in rural Idaho for about $40k in 1985 (it was built in 1977, I believe). Currently Zillow lists its price as around $250k. I'm guessing though that it could potentially sell for more than that because they've done a lot of remodeling over the years, and similar homes in the town are going for $300k or more.

Which app are you meaning? With Blue-Link, you get three years for free with the purchase of a new car and then it's $99/year. https://www.hyundaiusa.com/us/en/blue-link

That's a bummer, sorry. Do you have some powerbanks for e.g. your phone and they just ran out?

Mostly agreed, though I would be willing to pay a very small monthly amount for a convenience service that requires server upkeep, like an app that gives access to remote start from anywhere (beyond the range of the key fob), for example. But yeah taking basic functionality for which the hardware is already there and putting it behind a paywall is complete bullshit and they can fuck all the way off (looking at you, BMW, and your attempted heated seat subscription).

You are aware of how many layoffs are constantly happening in tech, right? Also our stock has lost like 20% in the last month.

Just to agree with what legend said... I have both a bachelor's and master's in Computer Science and certainly don't know everything about IT, which of course is its own field... But I'd wager your average CS or IT person would be better at most of the other field's tasks than, say, your average English major just by virtue of the significant overlap of the fields of CS and IT. In fact immediately after finishing my master's I worked in IT for two years. Similarly, now that I work for a major semiconductor company I had a much more gradual learning curve than, say, your average English major would have, but I'm still basically the only CS person on my immediate team; everyone else studied electrical engineering, circuit design, etc. I'm learning something every day!

This was around the time I was in college near Seattle and I actually made a sign that said "PCCB ESMIs the Mariners" and took it to the game. Of course I didn't make it on the TV.

I joined IGN in August of 2000. It's truly been a pleasure posting with you fucks the last 20 years!

Niiiice. I'm at something like 120 hours in Vampire Survivors... What's another 10?

It legitimately impresses me with how many movies you watch pretty much every weekend. I can barely cook my meals.

I think I've only ever eaten at Chipotle once and yeah it was OK. I picked up from there a lot though when I was driving for Uber Eats. Pretty popular.

Couldn't tell a damn bit of difference here in Portland, unfortunately, but I've been enjoying the videos and such online.

Yeah somewhere here in Portland. How fun it is to think of what one would do with that much money...

Yeah I also got onboard with Game Informer for $20. I used to have a Maximum PC and PC Gamer sub going for a long time but finally cancelled a while ago because I realized I never read it. So yeah... looking forward to not reading Game Informer either.

I don't have a lot of experience with products in this category so unfortunately I can't offer any suggestions myself, but it might help to state your budget so that others might be about to better help you.

Kinda makes sense when you also consider that they have a bunch of inventory sitting around already, I suppose. Maybe they're taking a "let's see how the price drops affect inventory" approach?

Sometimes I wonder if upsetting people is just the easiest way chuds can find to feel relevant in a world that keeps moving on. As the great George Carlin said: Imagine how stupid the average person is and then realize that half of all people are dumber than that. At the risk of sounding condescending or patronizing to the chuds (and probably rambling a bit): In my calmer, more rational moments I have to remind myself that most people are just doing the best they can and that if I wasn't lucky to have had the luck, background, experiences, education, etc. that I did, maybe I would be a chud too. But yeah, it gets really goddamn frustrating sometimes.

Yeah probably I won't devote a ton of attention to it (I barely read my other current subscriptions ) but figured it might be good for an hour or two altogether. For the cost of a couple coffees out, that's not bad.

Damn man, what a day. I'm really sorry for your losses.

Same. Could be a fun, silly time.

Eh what the hell, for $20/year. Sold!

Same, I don't want to mess around with being sick. If it's slightly in question, I'd rather spend the few bucks for new milk rather than gamble on diarrhea.
