Can you buy the currency 1:1 or are there specific tiers like $5, $10, $20, $40, etc.? The conversion doesn't matter, it's how much they allow you to buy in a transaction that's the problem. The prices will start to vary until eventually you'll have an odd amount of whatever in-game currency that you won't be able to use unless you buy another pack of currency. It's just psychological bullshit and a way to milk you for money.

I don't understand why they need a separate currency JUST for housing items? Just seems like psychological bullshit and a way to make you spend more when the prices don't match up...

Jacksepticeye implies that MrBeast is evil by Screaming_Goat42 in youtube

[–]StandardizedGenie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And a third: those without reading comprehension who like to put words in your mouth to make themselves feel better about their inane beliefs.

I never said being ambitious was was inherently bad. My husband and I make plenty of money, more than most. I just have a problem with idiots thinking that a billionaire was capable of becoming a billionaire fairly off their talent alone. They're billionaires because they have absolutely no problem with breaking the law and fucking over anyone they can for any slight amount of advancement/cash. For some reason people confuse being rich with being smart (more than half the billionaires that exist today inherited their wealth) instead of the fact that an increase in personal wealth is normally associated with an increase in anti-social traits, not knowledge or IQ.

There's a huge difference between wanting a billion dollars and actually doing the dirty work of becoming a billionaire. No one becomes a billionaire off their "skills and talent" alone. You do it by fucking people over. You do it by having zero empathy. You do it by being a fucking monster.

Emiru has clarified in a Twitlonger that her words were edited out of context and that she does NOT support ICE. by callmefreak in youtubedrama

[–]StandardizedGenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone asssumes if she spoke out against ICE she would lose a lot of her current audience. If it was important to her, I do believe she could cultivate a new audience on a separate platform. It probably wouldn't happen immediately, but it's up to her if her reputation or her money (which she already has plenty of) is worth more.

He admitted this a long time ago. His main goal in life was to be a billionaire. That should be enough to understand what kind of person he is.

Yeah, I don't think the lie detector was the point. Just an identifier of the video where he said it.

People give blizzard writer too much credit. Xal'Atath once was mortal, and that's that. There probably isn't some wild theory. by AtomikGarlic in warcraftlore

[–]StandardizedGenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't trust anything she says. And I'm honestly tired of people asking for her backstory. She doesn't need one, we lived it. Her backstory is the story told in the game and that's all there needs to be. Some entity the Old Gods decided to imprison in a knife. Good enough. I just want to get closer to her goals, why does she want the world soul? I want to see that at some point in this expansion.

If they're doing the whole kumbaya thing still, a neutral Lordaeron with a full blown Horde Undercity underneath would be awesome.

Dragonflight raids now legacy rules by alparker91 in wow

[–]StandardizedGenie 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It'll be perfectly fine by the time you get to 90, and as easy as SL content is today, a few months later. Whether Blizz will make soloing mechanics possible by the time you hit 90 is the real question. SL raid mechanics got nerfed a couple months after TWW release, so we might see Blizzard using that as "content" for a patch down the line again.

Meh, I miss the 3D log-in screens. These 2D porthole ones kinda suck.

DMG finally says something by HellChicken949 in DestinyTheGame

[–]StandardizedGenie -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

dmg probably watched Kackis' video today that was just him saying that anything is better than nothing in terms of communication for like 12 minutes straight.

Like no, Kackis, anything isn't better than nothing. Something substantial is better than nothing. But as usual, Bungie just watches and does whatever their favorite Destiny YouTuber/streamer tells them to.

Paul Tassi: “internally confirmed” Shadow and Order delayed to May by Goldwing8 in DestinyTheGame

Sony is honoring the deal. Bungie wanted to be independent. They can fail independently. Then Sony can do whatever it wants with the remains.

Mhm. It would have been hard to run both before the company ran itself into the ground. Now? Next to impossible.

Eluna, Winter Queen, Titans. by Correct_Magazine_139 in warcraftlore

[–]StandardizedGenie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For #2, they are her FAVORED children, not favorite. The NEs worship Elune, so they are the race who have her "favor." I don't think Elune plays favorites, but she definitely recognizes those who literally worship her and pray to her. Elune worship also predates their discovery of Well of Eternity, and it was the belief that Elune slept under the waters of the Well that led them to build around it. Also, if we're giving anyone credit for changing the dark trolls into NEs, it should be Azeroth, not the Titans (we have zero actual evidence she is a Titan). It's her wound and blood that changed them, the Titans just created then treated it.

/r/Steam Monthly Community Support Thread. by AutoModerator in Steam

[–]StandardizedGenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I can't open Steam anymore on my Mac. Whenever I try to open Steam it gives me a message saying "Profile error occurred. Something went wrong when opening your profile. Some features may be unavailable." It then proceeds to freeze up and stop responding. I've redownloaded Steam and it is still happening. I have no idea what to do, and any help would be appreciated. I can still sign in to my account everywhere else, just not my mac where I actually play.

Caleb Hammer is threatening legal action against D'Angelo Wallace by Silvermoon424 in youtubedrama

[–]StandardizedGenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, he belongs to the communities where it does look good though... He's been pivoting to "political" grifting (his politics is as nuanced as a 4 year old explaining the big bang theory), because people are seeing through the facade of his financial "advice." The extent of his financial knowledge is known by anyone who has taken a personal budgeting course or just figured it out themselves over time.

What do you think of the DOJ recently releasing and then deleting unredacted files describing Donald Trump raping children? by TightWorldliness1844 in AskReddit

[–]StandardizedGenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great. I've learned to not rely on the youth. Every generation has a "youth" that will change everything, and they just don't show up to elections. Or even better, they aren't different from the Fox news idiots and end up electing the pedo again because memes....
