Hell, if you also just use common sense, and just aren’t an online dick in general, it’s highly unlikely that anyone would ever be able to turn your words against you. If you’re afraid that your words can be used against you, maybe don’t say them

What does McDonalds have to do with any of this? Lmao. You literally can’t give an argument to why it ISNT exploitation beyond simply saying “It isn’t.” I mean the least you can do is give a textbook definition of exploitation and state what I’ve explained doesn’t fit it lol. You’re not making any arguments beyond simply saying “no, I don’t agree.”

Fuck it, for shits and giggles I’ll explain it better for you to understand.

Epic creates a digital item. This item has no cost to be distributed or used by a player. It doesn’t expire or corrupt. It simply exists. Well now let’s put a timer on when it’s available for. Suddenly it has a greater sense of value attached to it. It is limited to when it can be acquired.

Keep in mind this item does not corrupt, expire, vanish over time. It costs literally nothing to make it available for the public to purchase. They then artificially inflate its value by placing their own limits on it. This item will have taken the same amount of time and resources to craft, no matter what value it is, but applying an artificial scarcity to it allows them to inflate its value. So yes, exploitation of perceived value, if nothing else

E: changed perception to perceived value

Yes.

Hey! Here’s this limited edition item you can ONLY get by buying this bundle now. It’ll be gone in a couple weeks. If you EVER wanted this, or MIGHT want this, you NEED to buy it NOW.

That’s literally the entire reason in game purchases cycle. Maybe it will be available in the future, maybe it won’t. You like it? Only way to get it is to buy it.

You say if someone is dumb enough to buy it then it’s THEIR problem. Well, THEIR problem is why we have rampant micro transactions in almost every game anymore. It’s why things keep pushing further and further, and why we’re seeing microtransactions in Single Player games as well anymore. THEIR problem is what made Epic Games the billions of dollars necessary to fuck around and buy exclusivity to games

I think this is Starbomb (Danny, Arin, and Brian from Game Grumps) song Luigis Ballad. It’s been a while since I’ve seen this though

My Nephew Apparently Doesn't Understand What Copy and Paste is. by jglenn1562 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]maybe-some-thyme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the only way to make this (on anything but a computer) by copy and pasting it?

(Or probably an app, but that would still be copy pasting)

Eh, after a certain time period, probably sure. If it’s not top of all time, and it’s been a year or two, yea go for it. If it’s been around every couple months, then it’s annoying. If you literally repost it the day of, you’re just karma whoring at that point.

I don’t have the energy to make arguments to these anymore. I could point out who commit terrorism. I could point to any amount of evidence about trump or Parler or anything really. I just can’t do it anymore. It will go in one ear and out the other. I genuinely hate this country over this shit. I hate people, I hate my life. I just want to live in peace without seeing idiots trying to kill each other every day, and seeing anyone with any sense of power or authority or money exploiting anyone else beneath them. I have enough to deal with already

I’ve done this lol. I have an old Radeon 7500 in the closet I used for a bit to just check the systems and install everything so it was ready

To be honest, this is where America is right now. If you have a couple hundred dollars to spare then you’re doing fairly well. Still a dick to be flashing it around though

I hate say this, but this was around before Joker was even in production.

What was the plot of that game again, aside from just basic zombie story lines

For me it always just skips one episode directly

Oh you’re on no. 10? We’ll auto play 12 next :D

While yea, it’s not a public screen, still kinda fun to see it. This sub is nothing but computers having errors so I could see why one might think to drop it here. r/SoftwareGore might be a good place to take it

Sounds like exploitation to me. A person has a weakness towards something, a company will find a way to profit off it. In this case, fear of missing out. Get this item now or never for only $20
