You're right of course. I phrased that poorly and meant my interpretation of the meme, not the movies.

I hope they lay off mostly management and gameplay designers. Diablo IV looks/sounds great and has a better story than III, but the actual game isn't fun.

My interpretation is that Lucas made it out to be entirely the evil Sith destroying an otherwise reasonable galactic social order. When in reality, fascism happens with no magic required.

And counterintuitively, having to consult a physical map instead of an in-game map only improved the immersion.

Gotta leave something for the next USB.

Wouldn't that just be a bunch of QR codes in the credits? That would be easier to automate than it is to pay middlemen.

It's a tragedy of the commons - as an economics problem it matters, sure, but copyright is an artificial monopoly, not a human right. We could provide these more efficiently with public funding of the arts or crowdfunds, without the need to make up imaginary property with imaginary ethics.

But if you want to sign up for a bunch of subscriptions because some might trickle down to the writers, be my guest.

You've gone from asking what was lost to insisting that they took it in order to give us a discount.

Yep, looks like he threw away something real. And now he can never again know if new people are being real with him.

No new friends where your real friends at

Refunding the sale price is still theft. If it was only worth that much to me (zero surplus), then I wouldn't have bothered with the trade in the first place. The only things worth buying are worth more to you than the sale price.

I've been a cashier... Just give him a minute, each interaction and calculation is simple on its own but he's been doing it all day. It's harder than it looks!
