I miss floppies. Putting them in and taking them out was so satisfying. Remember when you had to install stuff with like a hundred of them? The ker-chicks and that smooth sliding feel as the sheath slid open....

Lol..... It was okay for a very very brief time. After di.fm and before grooveshark. And tbh, even then, it wasn't very good. There was some music services that I swear I'm forgetting that were right around that time that were really good and then a lot of people loved pandora for some reason....

This would be a lot less weird if ck wasn't a fucking horrible human being.

I think the problem is not just porn...... Maybe... Also society, systemically? Maybe also the parents? Television, Internet culture, business culture, religion, oh yeah, also RELIGION.

You know what stops misogyny? Education and real leadership. Not blaming pornography and kids not knowing the difference between ~~music~~ ~~movies~~ ~~videogames~~ porn and reality.

An earlier what?

Edit:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/coitarche

If somebody has sex for the first time at 17 years old, and another person has sex for the first time at 20 years old, the person who had it at 17 had(has?) an earlier "coitarche".

Hey, sometimes people are drawn to new games rather than tried and true games.

Valid question.

Honestly like not-Anal said, it usually doesn't make a ton of sense. However, I've found that not all sales are created equal, and sometimes some sales are much better priced, even compared to later sales. You really have to pay attention, though.

For example, if a dev is active or WILL be active (this is where the guesswork/gambling comes in), the price of the game could go UP. I see it all the time with early access games or games that get popular. Or even with real goods, like cars or other collectables where they become more popular and either resale goes up or the manufacturer realizes they can sell it for more, or outright increases the value of the product.

Another example is when devs play fuck-fuck games with sales, trying to draw in more attention, and it works. This happens often with undiscovered games, which, in the VR space, does happen pretty often. A good place to pay attention to is the Humble Bundles, but I know this isn't exactly relevant to the steam sales, themselves.

And also just like in real life, and similar with devs playing fuck-fuck games with sales and not all sales being created equal, sometimes certain dates are meaningful to the game or the devs. Like if the dev has a case of brainrot and on June 7th they offer a particularly good sale, or the VR sale happens once a year, or Black Friday or something.

Additionally, shopping for games can actually be a bit time consuming, so even if the prices don't go down further, finding games ahead of time can actually be rewarding. Buying your first VR headset or a headset with new features and having no games and having to shop can be a real bummer. Imagine buying a brand new car and having no gas/power until later in the year, and then also having to get it one gallon/liter/watthour at a time. With VR games, some of them do just crash in price. But usually, almost all VR games find their equilibrium in price eventually, since the community is generally all enthusiasts who want to see the community and technology grow healthy, myself included.

And that very last point sort of applies to the previous ones, and also applies across VR in general (minus a handful of devs and won't last if the platform gets popular since it attracts money-ghouls).

When I worked at Taco Bell, I would make food like how I would want it and I would ice and fill drinks how I'd want it: just enough ice and filled to the brim with no overflow or mess. The trick is to tilt the cup and overfill it, so that the foam rolls out of the cup as you're filling it, then untip it as you top it off. The momentum of the overflow keeps the side clean if you do it right, kind the same energy as snapping off a paper towel or toilet paper from a roll one-handed.

Imagine only drinking 250ml of water with a fatty burger and fries. Y'all are dehydrated.
