  • Assuming a person born in 2000, with a 100 year life expectancy for easy math. In order to live to 3263, would need to live 1263 years, or 1263% life expectancy, which would mean 100% by default + 1163% via masturbation. So masturbate an average of 58,15 times per week, or 8,3 times per day.

    It would hurt a lot, but I can see it being possible.


  • Wtf is this?

    The most foreseeable event of the last 20 years.

    Massive out of this world investment + no demand = prices so cheap they were operating at a huge loss

    Operating at a huge loss + time = huge enshittification

    Raising prices is the easiest form of enshittification. Ads are coming too. Lastly it will be degrading features. Incorporating more features that no one wants, and bundling with other services that no one wants.









  • That was not the point. The point is that Factorio is in a similar level of quality. That is the top one. If you believe that 3X€ is too expensive for a top game, then you are saying that every game out there that is >30€ is overpriced.

    If you believe that, you are honestly way out of touch with reality. 30€ is on the low side of a price for a game. Most AAA games are >60€.







  • I don’t understand how asking that question to “my politicians” would achieve anything.

    “My politicians” are not arguing that prices increasing by a bit makes it okay for prices to increase by a lot. I’d argue that most of them would say that a little bit of inflation is good for the economy while hyperinflation is bad. Which I interpret as them knowing that “a little” is not the same as “a lot”. Which the above commenter doesn’t seem to know. Or at least knows only when it is convenient. Schrodinger’s knowledge perhaps.




  • These are not losses. They’ll just push up the price of goods based on their chance of being stolen.

    You’re not stealing from the store, you’re stealing from everyone else that actually pays for the products.

    Unless you’re stealing from a small shop that doesn’t have the time and resources to calculate price based on theft. In which case, you are an asshole for stealing from a small business.
