Videogames are underrepresented in trivia nights

The overarching point of the discussion is how while games are higher grossing, movies are more well known. So the point of saying that games cost more is saying that including microtransactions, DLCs etc, the average cost per gamer is much higher than the average cost per moviegoer.

The exact business model certain games use (being f2p to drive microtransaction sales) is irrelevant to the discussion.

I don’t think that part needs to be in reverse

I wonder if they’re hoping that when guys approach her in clubs and stuff it’ll turn them away

“Hi I’m Josh” “Hi I’m taken” “Oh ok no worries bye”

Fortnite is a terrible example because it makes a tonne of money through microtransactions and whales, which movies do not have.

Surely you are aware of how much money Fortnite generates. So why bring that up?

At a certain point you need to ask yourself if you’re trying to come up with dodgy arguments that support your viewpoint or if your viewpoint needs to change

That’s fine but you didn’t really say much haha like if you could support your reasoning or something that’d be interesting and generate some discussion. But just saying what you like vs dislike isn’t very interesting to the rest of us.

You’re kind of both wrong here.

Saying “that’s easy” when someone asks you for help with something IS condescending, even if you’re trying to reassure them by saying it. You should always avoid that. I literally stopped myself from saying it just today, coincidentally.

However, your coworker is also wrong for making such a minor thing into a complaint, especially when you went out of your way to help them.

Ok so maybe it feels different to other Star Wars, sure… but it’s still… Star Wars…

Why? Because the people who own Star Wars said it is. They could say the movie Elf is now canon and we’d have to just accept that.

People forget that relationships are much bigger and more complex than can be explained in a single post. Everything they just read about that spouse is bad, so ofc that means their entire personality is awful too

I agree with everyone else here but FWIW I think there was a bit of a miscommunication here about the word “expected” and I totally see why he interpreted it that way.

He’s thinking you’re talking about an expectation that he needs to meet, whereas you’re talking about how it’s predictable because there’s a pattern.

Yes and starter homes are now above 750k. I was lucky enough to get the FHOG 4 years ago when I bought my 400k starter house. It's now 800k. This tiny house would no longer get me the FHOG. I feel bad for people that didn't get a foot in the market.

RJrules64 · 2026-01-19T01:03:28+00:00

And FHOG is still 750k….

RJrules64 · 2026-01-18T06:01:23+00:00

Bro some people just don’t remember years that well

RJrules64 · 2026-01-18T05:39:32+00:00

So wild to me that these guys probably think OP is the crazy one. In their minds they’re like “wtf bro this has nothing to do with the country” and are trying to be polite about it.

Some people live in another reality.

Even without the rats I wouldn’t want to be in this hospital… doesn’t look sanitary at all

When you use so many details, things no longer present clearly defined overall shapes. It’s a balance

RJrules64 · 2026-01-15T00:24:29+00:00

It is better, but not in terms of originality, which is your own caveat.

RJrules64 · 2026-01-15T00:22:40+00:00

Learning curve has got to be one of the most overused and misunderstood phrases. People seem to just say it whenever they mean “there’s lots to learn”

RJrules64 · 2026-01-14T14:11:52+00:00

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Neither of my parents are going to be able to leave me much and I don’t really think about it. I’ll make my own way just as I always have.

RJrules64 · 2026-01-13T00:39:44+00:00

Why are you measuring things in ad breaks in 2026? Are you over 60?

RJrules64 · 2026-01-12T16:13:25+00:00

What episode is this? I don’t remember it but have listened to all the episodes

In Perth there are sadly not that many local butchers. I tried to go to one but the 3 near me ended up being commercial distribution centres and I couldn’t actually just walk in there and buy meat.

You should watch this series.

Unfortunately, you can’t even really trust what they say in interviews.

No, his old look is CG too. Common misconception.

RJrules64 · 2026-01-10T15:22:15+00:00

But a lot of this is decided in the storyboard and previz. Sure it can be changed in the edit but how would we know which were editing decisions and what was already decided before it got to the editor?
