"after taxes, consumption, and saving i have no money left" describes a staggering amount of personal finance complaints
Sam ⚔️ Financial Samurai@financialsamura
So you think earning $408,000 a year is a lot of money? After working 50+ hours a week, being stressed out of your mind, and barely seeing your kids, it might not be the dream income you imagined. Look how quickly the money goes. $1/month left over. What would you cut?

@thiccdotexe The problem is more how engines are iterated. Bethesda finally actually made creation engine 2 for starfield after using the same bones for waaayyyy too long. They were putting on new rooms for years without replacing the foundation. Now they have finally done that we can see
English
Didn’t anticipate anyone would see this.
Item interaction is just a single example. Replies bring up lots of others: tools, quest system, NPC system, etc.
Also, engines are iterative. Devs are always updating. Your fav game is likely built on a new version of a 30yr old engine.
English
Creation Engine is the subject of many jokes but it is incredible at what it does.
The engine is expressly built to let you pick up every single item in the game. Anyone pushing for another engine is pushing to move away from what makes Elder Scrolls and Fallout what they are.

@TheExilesNet @Critical_Scribe It sucks because it just could have and should have been better. Like NakeyJakey made a good observation of the morgue scene. It would have been so easy to instead have it be one of Ellie’s victims and have it be one of the enemy models.
English
@Critical_Scribe Playing the game means you are killing people as part of the gameplay, which changes the implications of the narrative. I agree; it's a hard pill to swallow. However, the story alone, divorced from the gameplay, is still quite good. Not an excuse, just an observation.
English
Mfw I end the cycle of violence by killing hundreds of people and let one person go by the end (those other guys didn’t have names so it’s ok).

@IdleEye_ It’s a good game but what do you mean project handed down from heaven. It is not that good
English
i don't mean to doom post but like, Marathon felt to me as if it was a creative project handed down from heaven that "gamers" prayed on the downfall of for seemingly no reason and now seeing all the cornerstone devs leave or get laid off feels like its being ripped from my hands.
English
@chara_betty You can make the point for the dragon symbol but for gods sake what do you do for other elements like fire or ice. And the naming issue is stupid as well. Like let me use this cool move or this heat move. Can’t forget my earth or ocean types
English
Not even the symbols either aside from dark
I will never not hate this game any chance I get oh my god

Didn't even bother changing their interactions AND names bro😭😭😭

@AchingRat @Butterknifeopr8 Except once again to reiterate. What he is doing is making his turn and lean safer. Would that not be expected of a competent driver?
English
@Butterknifeopr8 I'll try again.
The objective standard of driving for careless driving offences is that "the way he drives falls below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver." (section 3ZA(2) Road Traffic Act 1988.)
Generally that is considered to be Highway Code compliant..
English
Sorry but how the hell does this constitute an offence?
Hampshire Roads Policing Unit@HantsPolRoads
17 yr old with a provisional licence and L plates thought getting his knee down round the Victory Roundabout was a good idea right up until the unmarked police bike pulled alongside. Actually a nice lad, hopefully the pain of the points for due care will make him think twice.
English
@SonicHero3D Because that’s the point. The point is that it doesn’t play like Pokémon. It shows that the style of game and even some core features like capturing Pokémon can translate into other genres.
The point is that Nintendo just makes mainline Pokémon games that largely play the same
English
I've never understood THIS section of the Palworld community.
Why do they feel the need to weaponize this game against Pokémon when it doesn't even PLAY like Pokémon in the first place?
Of the footage I've seen of Palworld, it feels more like Monster Hunter to me than Pokémon.
SoldMeOut@freemysol
I used to put hundreds of hours into Pokémon games. Then Nintendo got lazy about development, and the games became increasingly worse with each new release. Pocketpair scratched that itch for us disgruntled Pokémon fans, and it makes you upset for some reason?
English
@gavinmoolman @PhilipProudfoot So your also against all the fossil fuel subsidies right?
English
@PhilipProudfoot I have no issue with new technology, particularly if good for the economy. Just very much against heavy subsidies being thrown at them.

What I don't get about climate change deniers is why they're opposed the green transition.
Say they're right and its a hoax. We still end up with a high-tech industrial revolution, more trees in urban centres, cooling systems, public transport, more EVs!
Why is that bad?
English
@MADkurious You think that the FULL PRICE GAME isn’t making enough?
English
Does the anti-microtransactions crowd even like games???
Games have to make money for us to get more of them.
It’s not “leave the billion dollar company alone”…
It’s “I’d like a future with more of what I just enjoyed.”

@johnhawkinsrwn @CooperZurad The stats and numbers are right there. If you don’t want to look at them that’s on you but it doesn’t change the reality that 18-30 year olds have it 3-6 times harder than boomers financially (on the light side)

@CooperZurad No, you guys are just crybabies with victim complexes who think you're the first people to ever have struggles as opposed to people that have it easier than 99.99% of every human that ever lived.

Kick Your Kids Out of the House at 18
There was never a question that I would be leaving home at 18. My parents did help me with college, and I came home on the weekends a lot my freshman year, but much less so as time went on.
When I got out of college, moving home wasn't an option. My parents didn't want me there, and I would have been ashamed to mooch off them.
Instead, I got a crap job, got roommates, and started making it on my own while driving a barely functional car my parents got me in high school. Did I visit? Did I ask for advice? Did I get some help from my parents here and there? Absolutely.
But you're not really an adult living your own life until you're out of your parents' house. "Oh, but it's tougher today...." No, it's not. Early on, my jobs sucked. I always had roommates. I had very little money. It was not fun, but I sucked it up and made it work. That doesn't make me exceptional; it just means I was doing what an adult was expected to do.
One way or the other, kids shouldn't be staying with their parents through their mid-twenties. They need to get out on their own, make their own way, and forge their own identity as something other than Mama and Daddy's little boy or girl.

The funniest thing I've been seeing is people yelling about needing female representation as CEOs because "all men are evil and part of the PATRIARCHY"
...Then women get hired as CEOs and turn out to be some of the most ruthless, cutthroat leaders—far beyond the men they replaced. Phil Spencer was a genuinely nice guy who unfortunately gave way too much creative freedom to people who didn't deserve it
Now the next CEO is a woman, everyone celebrates... until she starts firing everyone. Then it's suddenly a problem and they're all short-circuiting trying to figure out how to spin it because they can't just be raging misandrists as they usually are
I've seen this exact pattern play out so many times too. The strange idea that all women have to think the same, act the same, and function like a hive mind. Y'all are your own worst enemies, man

in 2005 you weren’t feening to play games that came out in 1994.
In 2014, while the remaster virus started up airing here, you weren’t itching to play 2008 games on your PS4. You wanted the hot new shit. Where is that hot new shit other than the predetermined heavy hitters?

@ShitpostRock @765Tet The wonderful Christian morality that props up western society like: the witch hunts, the crusades, discrimination. Let’s also not forget how much of modern Christianity is just paganism in a trench coat because it was the only way Christian’s to work their way into pagan society
English
I don't remember needing religion to know why you morally shouldn't stick your dick in a heap of smelly, diseased roadkill.
Rock Solid@ShitpostRock
The best logical fallacy to give an atheist when discussing morals is to ask them why it's morally wrong to have intercourse with roadkill It's dead it will not feel anything, nobody will know and there are no victims If you ask a Christian or Buddhist why it's morally wrong, they will tell you it's because the body retains inherent dignity as part of God's creation (or the sacred flow of life), and desecrating it violates divine/natural order, harms your soul/karma, and shows disrespect, even if no one feels it or knows An atheistic worldview of this question taken to its extreme, concludes that intercourse with roadkill is tantamount to masturbation and nothing more

@JPickford @killalotus119 @ThreeSixXero @Serellan Yeah they should. But a pretty vital thing to “CEO stuff” should be understanding your product. If you don’t understand your product at all then your foundation for everything else is gonna be awful

@killalotus119 @ThreeSixXero @Serellan I don't really disagree but I'm not sure it really matters. CEO just needs to be good at CEO stuff.

One time I was demoing to the head of one of the big publishers.
I handed him the controller and asked, "Want to try?"
He froze. The room went silent. He pulled out his phone and said he had a call.
The execs were furious.
"He doesn't know how to use an xbox controller."

Carmelo Anthony explains why a $100,000,000 contract doesn’t make professional athletes rich for life “$100 million… let’s not get that twisted.” “It’s not really $100 million.” “You’re taking 50% to 60% off the top.” “So that $10 million becomes $5 million.” “Then you’ve got taxes in every state you play in.” “You’ve got a house.” “You’re taking care of your mom.” “You’ve got a 4% agent fee.” “You’re not working with $10 million anymore, you’re working with $5 million.” “That drastic lifestyle change is what messes a lot of athletes up mentally.” “You’ve got to budget how you pay your mortgage.” “You’ve got to budget your food.” “$100 million is not $100 million.” “You’re not even seeing 50% of that money.”
