Fun to know that it’s still absolutely screwed.

Brain says bad. Because I’ll be there, working on trying to get a new shiny ship and then the brain is like… “You make 40$ an hour overtime. That’s a lot more ship than doing this.” or "instead of checking in on your skill queue every day for two years to make sure it’s optimal $300 worth of plex and you have your dream toon. "

And yeah… I know myself. I need to avoid games that make that lil voice pop up.

I mean… in eve you were allowed to straight up buy perfect characters or skill injectors, then the isk to buy a ship. So you could have a newbie with the same character power as a 3 year old player.

My brain does not like grinding games with strong P2W aspects, it messes with me.

I see gold is for sale in the shop, is store bought gold a big influence in the game? Or pretty irrelevant?

I mean… it’s just a specialized search engine so I’m not aware of why they would. But scraping a website and determining ingredients then sticking them in an array seems like a pretty straight forward task.

The land it’s on is “currently” more expensive than what I paid for it 5 years ago. Just recently got an appraisal done.

If I tried to buy this house now with my income the bank would laugh at me.

Sorry to anyone who didn’t buy a house pre - covid :(

The housing market was silly for awhile. Lots of homes basically had a clause of “If inspection done, no sale”

Well even the land itself is worth more than I paid, and 5 years of no problems is a great start. But will find a good inspector and see if I really did get that lucky!

Fans who follow more closely can correct me if I’m wrong, but…

The author streams and does events, but hasn’t given any updates in a long time. He did a fund raiser where a goal was releasing the first chapter of his next book, which he supposedly has been working on since 2011, and he never did despite meeting the goal. Sure feels like despite supposedly working on it for 2011 he hasn’t even made a draft of the opening chapter.

Additionally, his previous editors and publisher have said they haven’t seen any indication he is working on them at all. So it doesn’t seem like he’s agonizing over revision 512 and still not happy with it. Seems like he just never made a first draft.

gasp

And there are even recommended tag mashes for different genres! I have found my people who have been similarly hurt by picking up a book that they thought was a standalone, then running right into a cliff hanger wall and an unfinished series.

“Oh that has funny jokes!”

“Oh… they were the only good jokes.”

You’re so right and never thought of it like that! If you Google and find a new service you’ve never heard of, we’re expected to give up our soul in a heartbeat! Even for a new email so many are like: First name Last name Phone number for dual authentication Install this app for dual auth Birthdate!

Like dude, there are a lot of services that just that information alone is enough to call in and take my account. It’s so scary how common that is.

A game I play uses PayPal as the payment processor, and pay pal decided to pay this specific company I had to upload the front and back of my ID.

Just… ugh.

Oh man see I knew i was missing stuff! My gf wanted more if an explanation of why I didn’t love a vpn but I couldn’t really explain more than “if you leave sign pots everywhere that you live here, probably don’t need to worry about bread crumbs”

True! Lots of wonderful comments here.

Baby sitting my mom’s dog and that’s my cat! He wants that spot.

That’s cheap???

Dear heavens, I didn’t realize some places were that rough.

Rule 1 of affordable housing:

No narcs!

Lol right?

All these comments are just like “just do it at the optimal and appropriate time” like… not all brains can just do that.

Then that also has a hallmark movie plot.

Sorry 😅

Them being cars doesn’t really impact the plot that much. Replace them all with people that drive cars and nothing changes.
