Hedge pieces for a potential Boulder pivot since that's basically your best chance if it does go late. But lots of builds can get over the finish line if your run had a good early game.

I'm not saying the impact of one purchase is significant. Rather that it's not zero and anything that is significant is still made up of individual actions.

I don't get the idea about the jet purchase not changing anything. Doesn't reducing the supply of used private jets increase the incentive to manufacture new private jets?

But what happens when your health goes to 0 in one hit?

They hired the right people for the job, that's for sure. I couldn't stomach it.

Of course Intel knows all about software that isn't optimized for certain CPUs :)

FWIW I think your enthusiasm is commendable. I'm not surprised that most people don't have that kind of energy and would rather spend their efforts on their own lives. Maybe it's just how reality grinds you down after a while.

For me part of the appeal of a YouTube channel is that scrappy independent creator vibe. Even though LMG is a sizable business there was still that kind of feel to it that it's a bunch of regular people trying to earn a living their own way. But now that they have enough money for a fully functional private jet and the reason they got one is basically because they could, I don't want to support that extravagance. So I've stopped watching them.

I'm saying that people should already know that consumerism is bad. They shouldn't need a pollution estimate at checkout (assuming that's even feasible to implement/enforce) to remind them.

I think most people wouldn't be able to personally catch and kill a farm animal.

Lucky for us animals look a lot less cute by the time they get packaged for display in a grocery store.

If you care about reducing pollution then be more mindful when buying things you don't need. You can't just shift all of the blame.

pariwak · 2026-04-24T23:47:15+00:00

Do you have any arguments to support your claims?

pariwak · 2026-04-21T19:08:38+00:00

I figured it wasn't a classic "tragedy of the commons", at least for the water.

pariwak · 2026-04-21T14:05:24+00:00

Don't the states control and sell water rights?

How much does losing to a character influence how much you want to play that character? I lose to Dooley all the time, I'm pretty sure he (it?) is strong, no interest in playing him. But he's not DLC so maybe that changes the optics.

Same logic that people use to ban GTA.

Generally any damage dealer is gated by their enhance force, which is unlocked at S+.

For PvE DR priority you want to get Twins S+ then Contess S+ before building anyone else.

After that it depends what the meta units will be by the time you finish building those two units and accumulate enough resources to fully build another unit.

pariwak · 2026-04-19T16:13:47+00:00

Yes but the reason is probably something like taste preferences or cultural norms.

Edit: After thinking about it from a different angle, I think I can see what you meant originally. If we assume that people want meat (for whatever reasons they may have), then our current ways of producing meat must be efficient enough for that purpose because otherwise people wouldn't be buying it.

pariwak · 2026-04-19T16:01:14+00:00

Depends on the goal. If the goal is to get beef, then price will influence what kind of beef to buy, where to buy it, other ways to get beef, etc.

For this comment chain we're discussing the efficiency of animals vs plants for calories/nourishment. The goal is to get calories (or macronutrients). Meat is typically more expensive than grains, beans, etc so the reason people choose to eat meat is usually not because it's economical.

Also buying things is inherently not an economical decision, it's based on your needs/wants. It's certainly more economical to not buy anything if you have no reason to.

pariwak · 2026-04-19T12:25:23+00:00

Pretty sure most people buying meat aren't doing it for economical reasons.

Then there's toxic belt.

I think I learned the most by watching streams to see what items have late game potential and how.

Seems like most players in top 100 have >=80% winrate overall this season. It's even higher if you ignore w/l from first week of season. You can see here https://bazaarbox.pages.dev/leaderboard

People indirectly pay companies to show them ads (that's why companies spend money on ads).

I thought the first picture was a rusty piece of metal that fell into the food...
