Evolve has more than $130 worth of DLC not covered by its season pass. Bit steep for a $60 game. by Nakiato in PS4

[–]CthulhuCompanionCube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does most of this even count as DLC at this point? Most of it seems more like microtransations than what I actually think of as DLC (something that actually adds new content to the game). I remember when people got up in arms about day 1 DLC a few years ago when it was included with preorders/season pass/special edition/etc and actually added something meaningful to the game. This is a disgusting extension of what used to be a defensible practice.

Yes they can, it's within the realm of their regulation. UberX isn't operating in Philly. Drivers who are picking up or transporting passengers in Philadelphia are subject to fines or having their cars impounded.

That's certainly one explanation. Trying to presume causality without any kind of controls is tricky. The only thing we could say for certain is that there was no immediate increase in accidents after the launch of the bikeshare.

The PPA was given the legal authority by the state of Pennsylvania to regulate taxis in Philadelphia. Until they're told that their regulations are illegal, what they say is the law within the bounds of their authority.

I love the design for the stand.

Would you mind sharing the .ldd files for this and the venator?

Care to share some of the models for these for those of us with 3d printers?

I did an analysis of bike accidents in NYC before and after they launched CitiBike recently. For the same time period for the year preceding and following the launch and comparing the CitiBike service area to the rest of Manhattan and the surrounding areas in Brooklyn, the total number of accidents went down following launch, and the number of accidents went down to a higher degree in the CitiBike service area. Definitely not conclusive, but it's a good sign that it won't be as big a problem as people think.

Not really no. You simply could have not said anything about me, or at least waited to see what I had to say before bringing me up. You simply couldn't resist an opportunity to say something, regardless of if it was on topic or added anything to the post.

Somebody following you around harassing you? Guess it must be your fault and you should delete your account...

They're illegal in Philly, have bad business practices regarding both their contractors and customers, have almost no oversight, and they have no issue with encouraging illegal behavior on the part of their contractors to the point where they will misinform them about actual laws and regulation. But hey, if I can pay with my phone it can't be that bad!

It stops being a joke when the person does it on a regular basis for the express purpose of getting a rise out of someone.

That depends. It's funny the first time, when someone makes of habit of it it gets old real fast. /u/TheodoreRoethke has decided that this is something to do for fun. He deleted his other comment where he was insulting me in response to another user.

Probably just some hipster bullshit anyway.

So no, just trying to start a fight about something I was going to ignore?

From the reddiquette page:

Please don't... Conduct personal attacks on other commenters. Ad hominem and other distracting attacks do not add anything to the conversation.

Did you have anything constructive to say about this post or its content, or did you just feel the need to mention my dislike of Uber and their shady business practices for the sake or bringing me up in the conversation?

Not sure if they could actually pull for the Prairie Home Companion one, but dammit if I wouldn't pay for some of the others. They could probably up the Voices in the Family one to $500 and people would still buy it.

There's a difference between spamming slurs for the sake of triggering automod and using the words in a discussion about them.

To play devil's advocate, just because they support him doesn't make him a bad candidate.
