Uh, video games have VERY famously not been decreasing in cost to create- AAA games cost VASTLY more to create now than in 2008. The teams are much, much larger, for one.

It’s a trend I personally think is stupid and unnecessary, but productivity gains aren’t really happening that way in game dev.

Literally nothing ever has stayed in lockstep with wages, that’s not even relevant to the discussion at hand. Not sure why you think video games would be special, especially video games by Nintendo, solijce they’re literally the last ones on the “raise video game prices” train.

You do realize that video game prices haven’t increased with inflation in years, right? A $60 game in 2008 would be $88 today just from inflation. This isn’t price gouging, it’s inflation correction.

Accelerationism is bad.

Great, lemmy.ml is here.

Well, also the fact that he looks literally nothing like the dude from the security camera stills, the police have been bungling every single step of the evidence process since before they “caught” Mangione, annnd finally all the work theyve done to preprejudice the public into thinking he did it by organizing documentaries demonizing Mangione while being too busy to provide the details of their “evidence” to Mangione’s legal council (which they are legally obligated to do!)

It’s a chicken and egg problem here. You’re saying that prices never fall because people don’t lower demand, but I would instead argue that Americans don’t seem to understand that reduced demand lowers prices simply because we have literally never once seen that actually happen in practice due to corporate greed.

He’s been wearing that kid like a hat ever since that CEO got shot. First time anyone had EVER seen the kid in public, too, and suddenly he hasn’t been seen anywhere without him.

Iirc the guy that farmed the original sirracha peppers makes his own hot sauce now with them after the falling oot- tastes exactly like the old sirracha, just under a different name.

They did and are refusing to answer. They’re just a conservative that’s larping as a Democrat for internet points.

If you’re a ‘left leaning moderate’ that thinks the democrats are too left, you’re right-wing. The democratic party in the US is a center-right party.

Not to mention the substantial circumstantial evidence that Musk bought his position as co-president via hacking voting machines I have doubts the Republicans actually won anything at all.

Climate Collapse would have probably been more accurate.

If they were American, they would be following American values and laws.

It’s the ratio of likes/dislikes: OP’s ratio of likes/dislikes was shit compared to the person responding to them. That’s not typically how that works out, since the OP usually has more eyes, and thus votes, than the replies.

As a result, when it happens, it’s really noticeable and REALLY sticks out and says something, so it’s called getting ratio’d.

Getting ratio’d is something to be deeply embarrassed of.

Look up the “fourth estate.”

This is their goddamn job.

They were being weak. Republicans don’t care, they’re just happy that a spot opened up they can fill. They need to stop giving Republicans shit for free and make them fight for it, instead of just giving them our country.

The problem is that they’re not even negotiating, and also it’s been proven time and again that if you give concessions to republicans so you can ‘negotiate later’, they’ll take the concession now and wring another one out of the Democrats later. Negotiation does not work when the other party is not interested in it.

The website has instructions for if that happens as well!

Yeah, as I said, think very carefully about if you want to call republican reps.
