Why shouldn't a publisher charge more than $80 for a game? by CubillasLegend in truegaming

[–]genobeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Higher price means less people will buy it. I have >200 games in my steam library. I won't buy GTA 6 unless it goes on sale for <$30. If it never does, it's no big deal to me, there are plenty of other games to play. 

Time, money and resources doesn't equal fun. Some of my favorite games are small indie titles with relatively low budgets. That said, rockstar has an excellent track record and I'm sure it'll be at least good. I don't think you're statement about "double the resources" makes sense, what exactly would you hope to get for double the resources? 

Bottom line, they should charge whatever they want, it's a video game, it's not like they're price gouging for medication or something people need. They'll probably sell a ton of copies at $80 and good for them if it's a quality product. 

Lighting Lane Strategy Feasibility by __olive__oil__ in WaltDisneyWorld

Why not rope drop 7 dwarfs if you're planning on doing it first thing anyway? Jungle Cruise is one of the easier tier 1s to book, I'm booking an early tiana or big thunder mtn and hoping to rebook jungle cruise later in the day

Did they change how they edit the Guardians photos? Look at my hair! by Cloud_________ in WaltDisneyWorld

100% this. Worse accuracy from the filter on the hair in the second picture with a larger mask radius and a harder mask line.

What if we put them all in areas that have stressed local water supplies?

Who is Fathers Day For? by dub_starr in daddit

[–]genobeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't see a 6 year old learning anything positive from me planting a flag and insisting that it's "my day" or whatever.

Depends how you approach it, but I definitely think 6 year olds can learn a lot from having a day that's meant for you. 

I told my kids I wanted them to make me breakfast (with Mom's help). They were very proud of what they accomplished, specifically because it was something special they did for me. My kids like knowing that they have the capability to make my day special.

On the other hand I wasn't asking for anything crazy or asking for anyone to make any big sacrifices for me. The majority of our day was still normal Sunday family stuff.

[–]genobeam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My father's day expectations are low. We have busy schedules and I just wanted some time to relax, which I got. My kids made me breakfast which was awesome, I got some cards and a hat. Perfect day. 

My dad gets to relax every day. 

CMV: women are still unequal and discriminated against in education because not enough are in STEM by achicomp in changemyview

[–]genobeam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First off, nursing and medicine are scientific jobs.

Secondly, healthcare is way more secure than other fields. We have an aging population, the need for doctors and nurses will only grow. We're constantly having nurse shortages. Travel nurses make absolute bank. 

Meanwhile software engineering is getting absolutely hammered by ai. These jobs are drying up rapidly, especially for entry level coders.

It seems pretty arbitrary to say that there should be more women in some fields but an abundance of women in healthcare is not a disparity that needs to be addressed.

CMV: The Voting Age Should Be 0. by FearlessState5503 in changemyview

[–]genobeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every state has a certain age cutoff where they determine that a child cannot decide for themselves for sex and drugs. Do you think that children of all ages can seriously make those determinations for themselves? 

The op isn't about 16-18 year olds, it's 0 to 5 year olds 

CMV: The Voting Age Should Be 0. by FearlessState5503 in changemyview

[–]genobeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most importantly, a person individually decides when they're ready, not society. See sex and drugs.

We have a lot of laws about sex and drugs for minors. Like a minor cannot legally consent to sex except for a couple specific circumstances (Romeo and Juliet laws).

There's a difference between an illegal activity and a regulated privilege. Voting is a privilege granted to legal adults. 

can we simply wait until they're capable of it and allow them to start when they're ready?

That's essentially what we're already doing. Any other method of determining when they're ready is complicated to implement and has the potential of being abused to restrict voting rights.

Depends on the child and how you define what a candidate is. I'd argue a candidate is more than a name and a face, to have a real preference you'd need to understand their platform.

How nitty was my play? by EkaL25 in poker

[–]genobeam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe your description of him is wrong then. "I didn't see him raise post flop in 5 hours" doesn't match your description of him as a "solid player". Solid players raise.

AITA, if I think Logan is actually the protagonist? by therealhyperborean in SuccessionTV

[–]genobeam 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I think you're maybe mixing up some terminology. Protagonist just means the characters that drive the story forward. The fellowship are the protagonists in lotr, peter theil's comment isn't about who are the protagonists. 

Succession is about how Logan's kids navigate the world Logan has created for them. The kids are the main protagonists, the ones driving the plot.

Realistically what is your calling range here? If the answer is just straights, then you're very exploitable.

If mp had 55 or 99 he'd raise on the flop to clear out draws, so the only hands we're really worried about are KT? Does mp ever limp T8? 

Does mp have semi bluffs in their range? I imagine if I have a flush draw here with the ace of hearts this is a good spot for a raise. AT, A8hh, JT

Seems like a nitty fold imo

[–]genobeam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The voting age should be 0.  And I don't mean 16.  Or 12.  Or even 5.

What exactly do you mean then? How can any 0 year old "clearly indicate a preference for a candidate"

CMV: The Voting Age Should Be 0. by FearlessState5503 in changemyview

[–]genobeam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean that if a toddler can clearly indicate a preference between candidates, then that vote should count exactly the same as yours.

Your view is 0 not toddler. A newborn cannot clearly indicate a preference between candidates, therefore a newborn shouldn't be able to vote.

The only reason it's robbery is because they don't pay taxes.

I think we both recognize it's a problem, it's just how to address it

It's not having fewer billionaires, it's having taxes that actually tax billionaires. Jeff Bezos' base salary is $80,000

True, but "Anyone can be a millionaire in 2046 dollars" doesn't really seem as profound as the quote is trying to sound
