I’ll miss my download of Lost Cities and Lode Runner 3D

What would facebooks reaction be if they had to pay the full amount of taxes without ways around it?

Ah, I think I have been watching too much Star Trek and forget that prejudice still exists sometimes ☹️

Have fun schooling those plebs with the decor

Sure you think paper snowflakes are useless but wait for an elementary school play to need set design and they will crawl in their hands and knees to rescue them 😉

Not into stuff like that myself but I would have thought the purpose of nipple rings was to show that you have nipple rings. Put on a tight shirt and walk proudly through the library with your chest out like a proud pigeon kind of thing.

But I guess one solution is to get extra piercings on your chest and stomach so people won’t be able to tell which piercing is the actual nipple piercing.

I run a board game store, so just for a chuckle I asked it about what’s popular this year or what to order and kept getting the same answer about only having accurate data from 2021 and prior.

Typically it seems a console wants to be hyped first before the competition. I recall the next PlayStation got revealed in a court case discovery that it plans to announce 2025, so if I were Nintendo maybe June 2024 for a November 2024 release.

The thing is it seemed like Sakurai wants to do other things, but has no choice but to work on smash 28/9.

Sakurai and Hayo Miyazaki drunk betting who will retire first

I think the only dumb reason I stopped playing after 25 hours was just not having a convenient storage chest as I tend to be a hoarder in games.

I even went as far as figuring out how to make a mod to improve the storage chest.

My thought was to see if I could edit the ship’s chest to show a bigger screen of items and have either tabs or separaters for the name type.

Anyways if I were to replay it knowing that I shouldn’t just try to pick up every crate and scrap I see I would likely get farther.

Rime a Ralcorolic!

Oops meant to say the regular 30, sorry about that, thanks for the clearer explanation

That sounds like a fun job being the Game Pass negotiatior. That must be a rabbit hole no one will ever know about of all the weird wheelings and dealings and language used.

If you ever want to dig up a hot mess I recommend the deals with Hasbro/EA/Fantasy Flight Games.

One example is FFG could make any star wars product they wanted as long as it wasn’t classified as a board game or video game. So they made “miniatures”, “cards”, and “apps” but no board games or video games despite them obviously being so 😆

The other weird deal was vendors had to buy Star Wars products through third parties for some reason but not direct from the maker

The slogan since the antiquity

Oh, ha.

I do run a game store nowadays and it’s interesting to see diehard board games on message boards get confused why their favorite games sell so poorly compared to more mainstream titles. 😌

Hollow Knight felt like a $60 game I got for $15.

Isn’t Diablo 4 one of the top profitable games this year (if you include extra transactions), and are there deets on how much Overwatch 2 makes in a month?

Naturally gamers here don’t care, but I imagine much like Madden or Fifa the mainstream buys tons of Blizzard stuff.

When I did in home jobs decades ago there were quite a few people who played Warcraft and not even remotely familiar with other games let alone how to use their PCs

“when the time is right” the article says.

So when they predict sales would increase by more than 30% I presume, if Valve still takes 40%.

When I tried to get the Xbox Indie Games XNA kit it said you got a quarter for every dollar sold on the indie games store back on the 360

Has any info been leaked about how much money Xbox pays companies to have their titles on game pass?

I have trouble figuring out what keywords to search online.

In the past I recall Microsoft paid $10 million for a one year exclusive to GTA 4 DLC, and in that court case it was revealed Epic paid $1.3 million for the Batman games for the free week.

I can only imagine MS pays From Software Monthly, and I can also surmise MS knows how many digital downloads sell so they have leverage in negotiating a price with From Software.

Unless no one cares enough about thos to dig, or the info is public on their shareholder financial statements and I’m too dumb to find it.
