Your UI looks like you’re using iOS. In the app store, at the bottom of the page for each app is a list of items available for purchase in the app. You can look at that list before even deciding to download anything. Sometimes the listing’s are vague and just say something like “membership”. In that case, for a language learning app, you can assume it is to unlock “certificates”.

To be fair, this happens with the release of every soulslike

Reminds me of The Office when Michael Scott implies he brushes his teeth faster than a guy in a wheel chair lol

I don’t think budtender was a typo

I think there is a bigger market for them now though. What was the most popular video game in the 90s and how many copies sold vs the biggest games now? And now with steam and other sevices you don’t even have to manufacture as many discs. Even freemium mobile games are making billions in revenue.

Idk what you mean by mobile elements aren’t being loaded. Does the title of the article not count? I can see it behind the paywall banner

I’ve been on sites that track how many articles I’ve read and wait to hit me with the pay wall after some amount

I started working as a patient care tech in an OR a year ago and I got to sit in on an organ procurement of a brain dead patient. They did the procedure on a stretcher that was meant for outpatients, so it made me feel weird to know a person had died on it. I threw away the pillow though

Even if only 20% of songs made are worth listening to, artists don’t release every song they make

I went to a Cracker Barrel a few years ago and they has a sign that read “Proudly serving people of color since 1973” or whatever year it had. Weird brag

Art Style > Graphics. Kingdom Hearts (2002) looks wildly better GTA: San Andreas (2004) and Fallout 3 (2008).

How can you see them on that map if they are using VPNs?

Found the series when 3 released. Like many people I thought fallout would he awesome with coop multi-player. 76 is not the experience myself or I’m guessing most people had in mind. I’m not saying there is anything inherently wrong with the game. Just not what I was looking for when thinking “multi-player fallout”.

I love Terry Gilliam’s movies. I always try to recommend Zero Theorem to people who haven’t watched it

I think that has to do with legalization. At least where I live (still illegal recreationally), the street price of weed started to go up until Colorado and Washington legalized it 10 years ago. Then it dropped a lot, now it’s the same price as it was back then.

There is also FLOTUS (First Lady of the United States), or if you were me hearing that for the first time, you thought it was a shortened name for Flying Lotus.

My big issue with paying for an ad free experience is that there are ads on videos of stolen content, and that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. I have this issue with SoundCloud as well. Random people will upload mixtapes of other artists that were originally released for free, but SoundCloud will run ads over it. It’s obvious the creators aren’t getting paid. I don’t understand how that’s even legal. Even if you argue that the service of using the website shouldn’t be completely free, they are profiting off of stolen content.

👌

Just curious on what you think the benefit of pre-ordering a factorio dlc would be instead of buying after release?

TIL Liquid Death is water lol. I always assumed it was one of those coffee/energy drink hybrids from the name and price.
