i'm super tired of video game prices. copying the ideas of AAA games and then releasing them for free is praxis

*sees brand new game for $60*

"i could spend money on this, or i could buy 4 AAA games off my steam wishlist that came out like a year or two ago and probably still have more fun. hmmm"

anyway i can't even afford video games even when they're dirt cheap idk why i'm even thinking about this

season passes are the biggest scam. "pay for the game twice in the hopes that the DLC we release for the game eventually racks up to a total price of more than the base game so you save money"

it's not only a scummy practise, but also, why would i pay that much for dlc when i could buy an entirely separate full game with that $ instead

or wait for a steam sale and get dozens of games

games in US: $60
games in CAN: $80

and then you get these big deluxe bundles with season passes or whatever other shit and they're all like...$160

the best way to stop me from buying a video game is showing me the canadian price

@SwooshyCueb but then they'd have to call it duality, or perhaps plurality

i can't actually sleep very well with a stuffed animal most nights but it's nice to have one nearby in case i'm in the mood for some snuggles

all the stuffed animals on the bed... most of them are mine, but it's lumin who sleeps with all of them. i usually just sleep with one but they demand a pile lmao

the comfiest dog in the world

@Sir_Boops me too thanks!

anyway good morning folks

she just went out in the pouring rain with long, rumbling thunder and seemed to enjoy it. ok

she used to hate rain too but i guess not anymore...they grow pup so fast

why is willow not scared of thunder but she can't stand fireworks one bit? what a weird dog

on the bright side she doesn't get too terrified of fireworks either, she just hides under a table/desk/at my feet and occasionally softly whimpers

@meena underpaying the police is not the problem that leads to their corruption, but rather the corruption stems from the power they are allowed, the inherent inequality and injustice of the system they protect, and the racism from which many forms of police initially formed.

@sc current mood:

big arf

@Efi spyrodiil the dragon

case in point i spelled cyrodiil wrong

i keep forgetting the game takes place in cyrodil because nearly every other mainline TES game is named after the province in which it takes place, meanwhile this game is just named "oblivion"

@Efi the best i've been able to do is making potions which seems to get me gold decently quickly. i mostly just want the gold for fleshing out the dlc houses so they're actually useful, but each upgrade for one place is 1k gold, and then another place had upgrades starting at 3k...
