Yep, that’s what I was thinking. You pull it off because you like them and it’s authentic to your personality.

Employers pay their workers the bare minimum legal wage, yet are shocked when the work is the bare minimum you would need to do not to get fired. Weird.

Graphics used to be the hallmark of a great game. Back in the early days, if your game didn’t come with improved graphics, it was trash (like, '90s era games I’m talking about). These days, good graphics can be achieved pretty easily, so it’s not nearly as important as it used to be when trying to stand out from the crowd. If I had to pick the tipping point for this trend, I would have to say Minecraft was the game that proved definitively that graphics < gameplay.

Seems like the obvious choice.

What hypocrisy exactly?

It’s kinda weird how much you are defending Apple. By your own analogy, they’re still shooting you, just not as fatally.

“As much as” there ya go.

First of all, if you think any tech company isn’t collecting your data and using it with the intent of increasing profits, you’re delusional.

Second, just Google “apple data privacy” (or use Duck Duck Go if Google is too scary) and look at the hundreds of articles and evidence.

I even did the first search for you for free! https://gizmodo.com/apple-iphone-ipad-privacy-problems-data-gathering-1849855092

Apple for sure doesn’t do any of that.

Can confirm. I bought my wife Lego flowers. Instant hit, looks cool, plus quality time assembling them.

This may be too obscure a reference, but I’ll try anyway: What’s the Doug score?

Isn’t he the president of Punchable Faces Inc. now? If he isn’t, he should be.

It still worked well enough though. 10/10 goof.

Not that old, I remember those days too. I used to play Descent with my friend by being the “missle specialist” and he would be the pilot. We had the right side of the keyboard mapped to the secondary weapons and he would control the primaries. Wait, fuck, I am old.
