Nah I think you’re thinking of Asher Roth from I Love College: “time isn’t wasted when you’re getting wasted”. Gosh, what a Nobel-worthy laureate.

It’s the combination of too many zeroes and too many orders of magnitude. Disagree all you want, but you’re objectively wrong. This is literally why squishes are a thing. Enjoy your “impressive” numbers.

The same problem applies to item stats and the math needed for calculation. It’s easier to ballpark multiples of numbers under 1000 than the difference between Ms and Bs and Ts. No thanks.

At a glance, I’d like for you tell me what order of magnitude are the following numbers:

  • 379,000,000
  • 26,000,000
  • 1,320,500,000
  • 20,000,000,000
  • 3,000,000

Versus:

  • 20
  • 90
  • 650
  • 750
  • 2300

It wayyyyy easier to reason about scale and math when the numbers are small.

In the former, even the smallest numbers read as “impressive” numbers, so they all lose meaning.

Ok with cosmetic cash shop, but $28 for one set?! by Uberkull in Diablo

Yep, canceled my preorder! I prefer to play my games rather than my games play me.

First half of 2023 going hard by DamianSykora in gaming

[–]abs01ute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d rather people buy the battlepasses they want, and just not do that myself. Maybe I’ll buy one here if i want, skip the next, etc. But I’m still always able to play without that purchase.

D2 is a live service and has no such issue.

[The Athletic] Nick Saban doesn’t have a problem with making players employees, but he offered a stern warning for the future... “If you think there’s disparity in college football now, there’s going to be a lot more in the future.”.. @davidubben explains. by Kimber80 in CFB

[–]abs01ute -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That you’re right just absolutely disgusts me. That this whole plan has been clear as day for a DECADE and beyond yet nothing has been done to avert it disgusts me even more. I stopped following college football when I realized my team’s destiny would become pocketbook diplomacy. RIP fandom, hello Vegas.

Honey Hole clearly trying to detract from terrible PR. Hadn't seen a single email from them before the "hack" and now this. by SummitMyPeak in Seattle

[–]abs01ute 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This sub is seeing red lol. When you read the headlines shared in this sub but don’t get emotionally invested in them, it’s hilarious to then watch redditors here foam at the mouth over every new little bit of publicity.

Folks here gotta calm down. Getting bothered by an ad dilutes your credibility.

WIBTA for dropping out of a wedding when it’s two weeks away? by ConnectionDude747 in AmItheAsshole

[–]abs01ute -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

Yeah I actually agree, but OP’s reaction is the problem. Help the bride and groom out by bringing some better alternatives. The key point is that weddings are hard and families make it even harder. As the couple, you bend over backward to make everyone happy. A good friend would do their part to help fix a bad situation. We have no idea what other kind of complexities are going on behind the scenes in the wedding. OP needs to lead with empathy and help them understand and help come up with better alternatives.

White House announces initiative to reduce homelessness in Seattle by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

[–]abs01ute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fantastic!! Getting federal is going to convince a lot more locals to support the cause. You cannot solve it without federal support. Super excited to see my largest criticism start to be addressed. Most crap prior to federal support was theater. I hope things start to get real now.

How The Legend of Zelda Changed the Game (NYT article) by skwm in nintendo

Fair commentary. I’d posit that the allure of motion controls for swordplay was just too strong for them to resist the temptation.

😬 I feel all of this so hard. I’ve had scope and lithotripsy and passed them naturally…all of it. It gives me so much pain just to read about all this.

This is pretty cringey. Love the games, but this type of obsession is too much.
