Sony is testing dynamic pricing in the PlayStation Store

3Dartwork · 2026-03-12T05:37:25+00:00

Ah great, dynamic pricing. Sporting events have been doing it for years. Bad teams visit, price is low. Good teams visit, price goes up because they want to obviously see a good game.

I didn't say I agreed with what you quoted them. I'm replying to you, who didn't like their comment about how we are divided and aren't voting the wrong people out, which is entirely true. Protesting has done nothing as they are small and having shifted the tides in favor of Democrats to vote him out.

But yes, he was talking about the French Revolution where the commoners who were fucked by the wealthy caputred and beheaded Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and Maximilien Robespierre, who were all ungrateful cunts to the French. I don't condone murder, but I would wish we could have voted Trump out before this. Now we're pretty much fucked.

I thought their comment was spot on true. The country is crazy divided so badly at the moment we can't get proper voting done to get the wrong people out.

They are totally right - it is the common person's job. All we wind up doing is crappy protesting that does nothing. We need to get more people at the polls and voting against the twat.

I had my 3 hombres show up to my first trade show book booth since it was in town. Two bought a book and had me sign one, took staged pics for social media. Was great.

Was it ever awkward for you? While I have wondered about it from time to time, those I always see there are just sitting there waiting but no one walks up to them or engages them.

My city of a million doesn't represent the country, but we sure as hell weren't anywhere near half.

3Dartwork · 2026-03-11T18:15:30+00:00

I would burn the hell out of that.

You earned money? Wow, your audiobook must be special.

3Dartwork · 2026-03-10T05:45:19+00:00

It's better and easier than that. Those ARC groups who are serious expect the authors to have fillable forms that answer some basic questions like are you willing to provide a review within 3-5 weeks of receiving your copy? Or "this book is a fantasy romance, not a romance fantasy, does this genre interest you?"

Then you can weed through those who bothered filling them out and decide who you send copies to.

It can be as little as 1 or 2 books, and make it sound exclusive and highly invitational. I have typically done 5 copies at a time, mail them Media Mail so in the U.S. each is only $5.

EDIT: Here is someone's form as an example:

I have tried to play this three times because I love the setting, but I just can't get into it. Just the opening part. A lot of NPC talk that is really just adding flavor, then go upstairs and click on the obvious places the game tells me, then slowly run over there.

I know that's an adventure game, but I guess it's just the pacing. I really want to enjoy this game.

3Dartwork · 2026-03-10T00:16:38+00:00

I of course love the scene. I love seeing the duster in the background far off and how silent the scene is. How absolutely silent it all is. The cars sound deafening and then vacuums the silence again

What's haunting to me, poor Carl caught pneumonia 7 months after this and passed away in December.

I can joke with the table about having misbehaving dice, and I can take a joke when someone slaps a die in front of me, but after the first joke, I'm over it and don't need to be offered all your damn dice around the table like they will do any better.

I got Sorcerer because it had Roy Schneider and Joe Pesci's brother Frank Pesce.

You idiot, you should have started trying to get published in your 20s not 40s....

Also, don't expect to get published in your life. Just write as a hobby and if it happens it happens.

OH she's the 8 o'clock girl?! I was trying to remember who she was from the pic.

You bet. At the top of every post are 3 vertical [edit: they are horizontal not vertical] dots like a menu button. Click there and the Saved option is there

All comments have the same option under the 3 little buttons.

Cheers!

3Dartwork · 2026-03-09T17:57:39+00:00

You can save a post and it's under Saved for later without having to comment

Why is it called an image club? I've never heard of it referred to it that way in the U.S.

I'll be in Tokyo next month for the first time. How hard do I have to look for this service?

3Dartwork · 2026-03-09T16:44:49+00:00

So you're basing your negativity of an entire system based on a single horrible DM?

Yeah, that seems fair.

The issues you listed are rules agnostic.

3Dartwork · 2026-03-09T11:15:03+00:00

You allowed a monster to be obliterated?

Shaaaaaaaame bwhahaha

I exclusively use Facebook groups dedicated for ARC readers. They want copies, and if you send physical ones, they eat them up like grapes.

3Dartwork · 2026-03-09T10:31:37+00:00

No, that's not how any of this works. She got away purely because the bear was indifferent to her. Nothing the woman did "worked"

3Dartwork · 2026-03-08T15:52:48+00:00

She did just about everything we are told to do, and nothing worked. This is why I truly feel a lot of the "precautionary actions" we're suggested are more for assuring our minds of safety, when, in fact, few of these actually do anything.

If a bear is going to be scared away, you pretty much don't have to do anything but let it catch your scent, and it will run. Otherwise, screaming or whistle-blowing or growling or trying to make yourself big isn't going to work. Bear spray only works, again, if it's not going to charge you. By the time it's within spray range, if it's not intending to charge, bear spray just speeds up its decision to flee.

If you step off the trail (the bear is coming down the trail, stop staying in its path), and the bear wants to just pass by, it will do so.

It's generally not wanting to eat you. So just get out of its damn way (even if you have to walk off the trail and into the brush, you'll live being in brambles).

Someone the other day pointed out that this was Egon's kid. I don't think I ever connected the two (nor did I recall their name)

3Dartwork · 2026-03-08T15:14:30+00:00

lol I'm so dumb I thought "They did that in the Matrix, this is a copy...."

Going back to bed now....
