That does not include the machines that make it on demand which you kinda need for an office that size nor servicing them which you ABSOLUTELY need.

It’s still overpriced like all service contracts are…but my office would riot if we replaced the machines with traditional brewers. Nobody wants to make (or wait for) coffee at the office. And nobody wants to drink the nasty burnt liquid when it’s been sitting there all day

I’ve never played this but I want to buy it now just to support the devs

Menards used to be way cheaper than Home Depot but now they’re about the same except Home Depots are usuallymuch cleaner

I probably wouldn’t have kept playing it if a friend didn’t buy it for me and insist so I get it!

She dreams in color, she dreams in red… Can’t find a betting man…

I don’t trust stones

I thought the story of Control was just ok but the gameplay was awesome.

It didnt land on my Top 25 list BUT…that one level (people who played it know exactly which I mean) was easily one of the best sequences I’ve ever played. I have no idea how they made it feel like you were still in control (hehe) as everything around you went crazy.

Unfortunately that level is very late in the game otherwise I’d implore you to stick it out to see it. But since you quit so early because you weren’t having fun, you probably will continue to not have fun until that part.

That’s a banger of a quote and a feeling I can totally get behind. Oh, you’re gonna make me kill people? Then let’s start with you.

Some raisin

As much as I hate what reddit has become, it was a LOT less of a problem over there. And despite its reputation for having power tripping mods, the communities with strictest rules were almost always the best ones

A well-moderated community is a good community online. Self policing doesn’t work when it’s thousands of strangers

Nah, I have a different gripe:

When the reddit exodus happened, Lemmy was flooded with copycat communities for every popular subreddit. That’s fine with me. But what’s not fine is that very few of these communities use the same posting rules (if any at all) so they’re homogenized. Like what is the difference between nostupidquestions and asklemmy?

I have another one that’s not specific to Lemmy but absolutely applies: meme “communities” where it’s all reposted content. I used community in quotes because these communities/subreddits/Instagram accounts are just…meme archives. You’ll find the same shit in every single meme archive on the internet. It feels like it’s less about sharing and more about having the biggest bucket.

thinking having access to the auction house without having to travel 2 minutes is pay to win in any way and that it constitutes half the functionality of an entire city

Doesn’t realize you don’t have to spend a cent to buy the mount

I’m just gonna copy and paste my comment from the other big thread about this but I want to ask: why are you lying with the post title? It’s $90, not $132.

TLDR: this is obtainable through in-game currency for significantly less than the price of the original brutosaur mount. Most long time players can afford it and I’d imagine most people who bought it did so this way.

Ok so I cackled when I saw the price on this thing but the more I thought about it, the less shitty it is. FWIW I am not a WoW lifer or Blizzard apologist. I got talked into Classic for a year then played a month or two of each expansion since before quitting but I know the background of the story. It looks way worse from an outsider perspective.

You could buy the original auction house mount for 5 million gold back in the day. It stopped being available regularly and now it’s available occasionally in the “black market auction house” and it always sells for the maximum bid.

To combat Chinese gold farmers, Blizzard started selling gold in a bit of a roundabout way. For $20, you can buy a WoW token to sell on the auction house. This token can be purchased by a player and traded for 1 month of game time. Some players dont pay a dime to play - gold is not hard to acquire.

When this new mount came out, WoW tokens were worth about 200k gold. You’d need to exchange them for 5 tokens to get this mount. 1/5 of the original price.

Now tokens are worth 330k. 1.65m gold. STILL significantly cheaper than it was originally.

Tokens will need to rise to triple in price to match the original cost which will still be a tiny fraction of what it cost a month ago.

By far the shittiest thing about this - and I think the only real reason to complain - is that the rising value of the token hurts players who pay for the subscription purely with gold as it adds a few hours to their “working” time in game. For context, watching TV and semi-afk farming will get you like 50k/hour. You can earn way, way more if you’ve leveled up a profession.

The other (not so bad) thing I don’t like about it is that…I hate those mounts. They’re HUGE and people just AFK on them blocking NPCs I want to talk to.

You are correct. Token value is decided by players on the auction house, not Blizzard, though I’m sure someone will argue that they are capable of manipulating the AH and therefore they are driving it up

Hi Aaron, how quickly did you get sick of people deliberately mispronouncing your name?

Also, I think your name is very fun to write in cursive.

I think there’s a few separate efforts to catalog the communities but I unfortunately don’t have the links.

The difficulty in finding the right community is a big part of why I think posting guidelines are so important. The lack of it leads to homogeny which means communities don’t really have a community.

You’re not wrong but that’s kind of been my pet peeve with the reddit exodus. Hundreds of communities borrowing subreddit names but not including the actual themes that made the sub unique - this community is so generic without posting guidelines that might as well be asklemmy2.

The original intent of the subreddit was to be a space for asking “common knowledge” questions that you feel you should know but don’t like how often you should wash a hoodie. Politics were explicitly banned for being too complex and too open to bait.

This is not the right community for a question like that.

At the risk of getting banned for saying these aren’t ADHD traits…

These are just teenagers emotions lol

Turn off your computer, move to a cave in the mountains, and abandon society.

A bit extreme but there is nothing you can do to stop your messages from appearing on Windows machines except not sending them to anyone who might view them on Windows machines…which will definitely be nearly impossible in 2024
