I like it when I feel like an AdMech Tech-Priest.

“The machine spirits have blessed this forgotten coal burner since time immemorial. Now, in it’s 8 millionth process, it is unwise to interfere, lest unforessen complications arise.”

One key factor is that it was made 30+ years ago.

Yeah, that’s the one. The one that makes a modicum of sense

Either A) New Years Day is a day of the week and your birthday changes every year (but in a vastly more predictable way; NYD will make next year’s dates one weekday ahead), or B) New Years Day is a completely separate day and all years are identical, and you choose your birthday to be celebrated on the closest agreeable weekend if that matters to you

There is a pretty fucking solid one:

13 months exactly 4 weeks long. 364 days. Two unique days: New Years Day and Leap Day. Just put them together.

Now every month is the same length. Every numbered day is the same day of the week in every month for the whole year.

What better way to advertise your clandestine movie than with clandestine marketing?

To be fair, Rogers didn’t die. It monopolized data communication with insufficient regulation. It had an inevitable outage that could have been bypassed if not for the reasons listed.

Rogers continues to make stacks while the public foots the bill.

Someone got jilted by a 17 year old

“We won it last time! Why change now? Besides, proportion representation only leads to more parties and that’d mean we’d have to… cooperate.”

We re-re-re-re-re-re-re-released Skyrim once again over the last 10 years, it just doesnt have the same traction. It’s just that these audiences are only interested in a game for 6 months max.

Let’s just file that plan under "anything but reducing consumption "

Seems excessive. Loads of people have spent many many years in as little as 18 Sq. Ft. Why can’t people just be happy with that?

Or that we should agree on “throur”

Yeah, where do I get in on this grant money?

I’ve got a few ideas for studies the world just needs to know about:

“Readiness of handy calculator more prevalent then thought 50 years ago.”

“Silver jumpsuits not as common in 21st century as 20th century media suggests.”

You just can’t hear that hint over the hint of the constant torment of the growing lower class

Meanwhile, in France:

“What’s the roundish thing we eat a lot?”

“Apples?”

“No, the one that grows underground.”

“Dirt apples?”

That’s only because capitalists are deaf to reason and demonstrable facts.

They do it on purpose and it really does make sense. For everyone who supported the game they got the very best value of it. It sucks to pay full price only to have a sale pop up a few weeks or months later and you think “ah, I should have waited!” You buy the game, you support the devs, they keep working on the game, the game gets more, the price goes up for more game.

I wishlisted it when it was under $20. The price went up and up and didn’t go down. When I learned it was intentional and would never be cheaper, I bought it and eventually sunk 300 hours over loads of updates. Now the price tag is higher and I get to think “I’m glad I bought it when I did” and not “I should have waited”

The best time to buy Factorio was 8 years ago. The second best time is now.
