y…yes. I would like a free SSD with my game please. That sounds like the best promotional deal.

I don’t even want GTA6 but i’d buy the fuck out of that.

nah, if it’s good enough I’ll give 'em $5.

I’ve lent friends PS5 games, so you tell me

yeah, the disk is essentially the DLC DRM key for the console

edit more coffee

they should want the secondhand market for exactly the reasons @[email protected] described. a secondhand sale leading to future sales leads to subscriptions. the secondhand market isn’t cutting into their profits, it’s free advertising.

i’m fortunate to have some friends who are close enough we trust each other to lend consoles. we tend to swap the nintendo/playstation for about a month a year so we can catch up on whatever we missed the most (and we’ve bought each other games just so we can play them, it’s cute)

[for consoles] if it doesn’t have a disc, i won’t pay more than $5 for it.

unless it’s stardew. then i’ll buy it for every system.

yeah, my sleep paralysis demon looks more like Cousin Itt (without the hat) and gets arms as the occasion warrants (stealing things, making tea, i’m trying to remember. we’ve spent some time together but it’s been a while)

you asked the wrong scat man. Mr. Jarreau scats way better.

a bard wears donuts

legitimately not all of ours do either

have you seen how his clothes fit? that’s not a nice jacket. men’s wearhouse at best.

dude that was just to get us stoners on board. you gotta giggle while you say it.

can you believe krasnov? has to sit on both his jacket and his pants to not get pants stains on white couches? THE SHAME!

yeah this feels real tan suity.

well i eat a lot of garlic, and all i know is the dude at the pharmacy with the vampire sticker on his nametag seems a little afraid of me

a new couch for one guest?

I’m not going to say I play to many video games (can you read too many books? Watch too many movies? Eat too many hoagies?) but the home ownership gave it away a little over hatoful boyfriend.

so like, i’m with you, only it’s not just artificial intelligence it’s also the power requirements. usable fusion is always 5 years away. like there’s even been articles about it. scaling up green energy just to meet our demands (and i’m not an expert, i’m just really good at estimating) could provide the power to a society, but the first few AI will need many times that. as i understand my Machine Learning colleagues from college (and it’s been a while since i’ve spoken to these friends, you know the type you see them every few years and no time has passed) we’re really good at throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping it sticks. getting the spaghetti to cook itself, throw itself at the wall, and stick the first try? well we can make it look like that happens

Shit I fucked up the comment
