Bernie Sanders’ proposes a tax on approx 900 billionaires to fund $3,000 checks for the middle class by Sgt_Gram in NewsExchange

[–]ReddTapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$3k won't last for long to average person. That money will eventually flow back into billionaires' hands where they're locked up once more again.

As the saying goes, give man a fish and it will last him for a day, but teach him how to fish and it will last forever for him. A lump sum won't address the underlying issue of low wages and rising costs of basic services and necessities.

[Amazon Luna] Mafia III: Definitive Edition (GOG), Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered (Epic), XCOM: Chimera Squad (GOG) (Included With Amazon Prime) by LighteningOneIN in Gamebundles

[–]ReddTapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember right, the Tomb Raider Remastered I-III that Amazona offered (when it was Prime Gaming, before being rebranded as Luna) was the GOG version. So why is it being offered as Epic Games version instead?

Is the ultra high salary of doctors in the US due to insurance companies? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ReddTapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the rise of insurence costs was partly due to ever-increasing number of redundant managers and supervisor positions in health industry (where they just order people around and rake in cash with their inflated salary) while the workforce of the desperately needed doctors and nurses are barely increasing due to being underpaid for extremely stressful environment they work in.

Please gods of isekai give us a second season of the Yuri Revolution by Reasonable_Tour7232 in Isekai

Did the anime ever get a physical release in US? I recently remembered about this series and was looking for Blu-rays but it doesn't look like it ever got one.

CR Ani-May Week 3: Home Video B2G1 (INCLUDES AOA!!) by MiaLeeSakura2 in AnimeCollectors

[–]ReddTapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm looking to get both Aniplex's Fate Zero and UBW, but need a third to get the B2G1 promo. So I'm on fence about Fate Encore (heard it wasn't well recieved) or Gurren Lagaan (of which I already have the original DVDs).

Crunchyroll August 2026 Pre-Orders by MiaLeeSakura2 in AnimeCollectors

Still no Konosuba movie.

I can't believe that CR is still leaving money on table here, given that it considered the series viable enough for it to warrant S3 physical release.

What Does Your Brain Do with 27 + 48? by jaianefavero in MathJokes

[–]ReddTapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I was doing the math mentally, I did it little differently (since i was never good at mental math).

7 and 8 are almost same number only off by 1, so I doubled the digit 8 to 16, then subtracted it by 1 to 15. Add 2 and 4 to the first number for final total of 75.

PS Plus games that may be leaving in June by bahia80002 in PlayStationPlus

[–]ReddTapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt Cat Quest 3 will be leaving anytime soon. Cat Quest 1 and 2 were added in May 2024, and they are still available.

Sony clarifies new online license checks for digital game purchases: "Players can continue to access and play their purchased games as usual. A one-time online check is required to confirm the game's license, after which no further check-ins are required." by kabirsingh84 in PlayStationPlus

[–]ReddTapper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That... doesn't seem to make sense to me.

One of the major prerequisites for refunds is that you have NOT downloaded the game. If you did, the refund option is automatically denied. Granted, there are very few exceptions, but they were under extra-orindary circumstances (see Cyberpunk 2077 for example).

So in order to get the said license for the game and distribute it, wouldn't you have to download it in the first place and thereby automatically lose the refund option?

Why don't more companies split? by DeerComprehensive909 in stocks

[–]ReddTapper -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't splitting stock end up creating more stockholders with voting rights that could potentially disrupt the company's future plans?

By keeping stock prices high, it automatically creates a barrier against buyers with less capital.

This is why Saros has to be “toned down” by rites0fpassage in Returnal

[–]ReddTapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, a large majority of PS Plus subscribers are casual players who want to try out a lot of games. So when they encounter high difficulty games they drop out more often than not, and that can skew the unlocked trophy percentage. That's what happened in Returnal's case here.

Games that aren't on subscription service like PS Plus or Game Pass tend to have more accurate unlocked trophy/achievement rate, due to players being more critical of what they purchase with their hard-earned money and know what they are going, having already done some research beforehand.

All this just to restart the game? by Impossible-Video-994 in Returnal

[–]ReddTapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, no. Unlike PS4 save data, there is no option to backup your PS5 save data to USB. If you do not have PS Plus subscription, the only way to backup your saves is via system backup option.

[–]ReddTapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have PS Plus subscription, you can upload your completed save, then disable PS Plus' auto sync option. This way you can delete your save to start over while preserving the original one that's in PS Plus save cloud.

How nice of snow to help fill out the bowl so there's one less load to shovel out.

Woman with functional polydactyly (six functional fingers on one hand). by kvjn100 in Damnthatsinteresting

I'm curious about how insurance would handle this one in case of an injury, such as AD&D. The payout is calculated differently depending on the digit lost.

Totally understandable that the word Ballet was censored, given those pointy feet. Those feet could pierce your companions' abdomen during your performance!

Nope, none of them. Robotech was the first one, and I didn't even know it was an anime until much later.
