I'd like to know more specifics on those numbers. Because I Found that, for example, GTAV had a marketing budget of 70-110 million, so nowhere near the billion range even for large games. With a lot of popular games like BOTW selling over 35 million copies... I don't think the marketing cost is an issue.

Yes, but only accounting for inflation really doesn't tell the whole story compared to modern games. Games are primarily sold digitally now, meanwhile when OOT released all copies were physical cartridges - and that meant significantly higher cost of manufacturing and shipping. Also, games simply didn't sell nearly as many copies back then as they do now. Being totally real, games don't need to be more than $60 to turn a very very good profit.

YouTube doesn't care if you don't care. The more they show them to you the more likely they are to finally get you to watch them and they can make money off you. It's not like there's many alternatives to YouTube.

You might be surprised how many people do watch YouTube shorts. They force then on you because they make a lot of money off them.

Yeah, that's Debian for you. It can be really good depending on your use case - you're never going to have anything break up on an update since they don't update packages often. It can be an annoyance sometimes though.

Debian ships with older but stable packages. It won't provide you the latest version of your Nvidia drivers, you'd probably have to get them from Nvidias website yourself.

I don't buy any videogames new anymore, and pretty much never buy any unless it's on a very good sale. I've got a big enough backlog anyways I guess. I used to go out to some cheaper dine in restaurants but that had to be cut.

You should look into the history of WHY Hamas formed in the first place. Palestinians have been forcibly relocated and had their land taken since the 40's. I will say, is there any justification for the destruction and genocide Israel is committing? They've destroyed practically ALL infrastructure in Gaza including hospitals, they've got snipers shooting kids, targeting UN aid workers. Hamas and hostages are convenient excuses for them to keep doing what they started in the 40's - killing an entire native population and taking their land.

I drive an EV for work, any my biggest gripe is the touchscreen. What is wrong with buttons. Why must everything be hidden behind a menu I have to navigate on a touchscreen. It feels less safe, frankly. In my own car I have muscle memory for each button and can do things like skip songs or adjust the AC without looking away from the road... But in the EV I can't.

Any UBI system worth it's salt wouldn't be providing a flat amount, it should be based on regional cost of living. So if prices all went up, UBI would have to go up as well.

Different people find different things attractive, as surprising as it is.
