Irremarkable

Basically this. Anyone who is surprised by this has been paying literally zero attention to how these things usually go. The majority of the time when a game explodes that much, this happens. Sometimes to a lesser extent, sometimes to a greater one. A good chunk of the people who buy the game in the first place buy it to play with their friends, and when their friends move on to another game, they will too.

While you will have games that are the exception, such as PUBG which has had massive a player count for forever. they are indeed the exception.

I think we’re all well aware that this is far from an ideal situation.

I think the implication was they wanted the actual physical part, not just access to lots of movies

Dropbox’s own website claims they have >700M users.

18M paying customers is a lot (and I wouldn’t be surprised if in terms of percentage of data stored paying customers are the majority), but nowhere near a vast majority.

My general mental state can be described as that one picture of the horse on the beach that says MAN

You don’t have to be patriotic to end up stepping up. When you see the shit Russia did to the Ukrainians in the areas they annex in 2014, it’s easy to see why people wouldn’t want that to happen to their family, and why they’d be willing to step up.

To be entirely fair, John Wayne was a nazi

I wish I had the same mindset, but moderates have shown time and time again throughout history that they will side with outright fascism rather than any amount of actual social progress.

The conclusion is the same though. Get your ass our there and vote

E: words is hard

Gotta love Not Deer. I know it’s just CWD or similar, but man when you’re alone in the woods and come across one, shit is unnerving

Grandparents had lead in the brain, I got plastic in my balls

Wonder what’s next

Azeris might do a similar thing to them now

Now? You mean like they’ve been trying on and off for a long ass time now?

I’m not sure you know how dad jokes work. Most of them are simply awful, no good, terrible, and very bad. That’s the point.

I can’t speak for the person you replied to’s experience, but in mine it’s usually either a car hit a powerline pole or a storm knocked a tree/branch into some lines and cut it. While I’m sure it’s technically possible to make powerlines that can survive tornadoes, that’s not practical.

In the case of a car causing it, it’s rarely down for more than an hour. Usually less. Storms can be anywhere for a few minutes to hours depending on how bad it is/how big the effected area is. If I had to guess, I lose power for >30min probably twice a year. Mostly depends on how bad tornado season is.

Worst I’ve personally experienced was ~12 hours after a really bad storm knocked out power to a really, really big area. We got unlucky and were towards the end of the repair cycle.

Then you have Texas, who run their own grid separate from the national grid. It fails when it gets too cold. Not too much of an issue, it’s Texas, doesn’t get that cold too often. Problem is it also fails when it gets too hot. That’s very much an issue, it’s Texas, it gets hot real often.

and for them it’s easier than ever to live the life off an artist.

I am not an artist,

Very obviously

And it works, and may actually be effective at spreading your cause, the first couple times

After that, everyone already knows who you are and what you want, so the only thing they think of the next time you come up is “these assholes again?”

USPIS, the United States Postal Inspection Service. They’ve got something like a 98% conviction rate if it goes to trial. You do not fuck with the mail cops.

Can not recommend Squad enough.

There’s a lot of jank, but the charm and community make up for it. Just be aware that there’s a fairly decent sized learning curve, and it’s pretty badly unoptimized.

It’s my most played game by a good bit. Nothing quite scratches the same itch

This is so much less cool than the Pepsi navy

I know which side I’m on, that’s for damn sure

Ding ding ding. Anyone who claims to love this country but thinks this should be illegal is outright lying, and they can go fuck themselves. This is one of our most fundamental rights.
