Got me

I hope so

A new game was 60 dollars when I was 8. Im 31 now. Inflation puts the pricetag around 100 bucks if they stayed roughly the same cost. If gaming is unaffordable now its been that way since at least 2005.... There also wasn't a robust indie/cheap game scene to the tune of 10s of thousands easily accessible back then. Be annoyed about a price increase I guess but it's not like it's unfair or unaffordable comparatively.

Thank you for your service

Yeah when I have an opinion like this I don't care about the downvotes.

No thank you

Are we? I wasn't aware

80 dollars in 1980 is the equivalent of 330 dollars today~ish. You're not grasping the inflation aspect I'm pointing to. When looking through that particular lense, video games are cheaper now relative to historical context than they've ever been. Not to mention literally every consumer good increases in price consistantly to match/overcome inflation. Video games are WAY behind every other consumer product I can think of in that regard. This is especially true when talking entertainment products.

Excellent example of racial vs racist humor. Thank you.

Fantastic

It's annoying behavior. I post plenty, I never double up on posts. It's especially annoying on small platforms like this. I literally don't care that you posted this in shitpost, I think its a good place for it. What bothers me is you did it in shower thoughts as well at the same time. That's a less good place for a shitty/cringe rant like this.

Alright bucko

We are going to start hearing about data centers built in poor countries powered exclusively by coal.

Ohhhh, in that case I completely disagree with your sentiment. We have different definitions of these terms. But that's fine. I equate the term realist with pragmatist.

Yes

Seems like a dickhead move to block anyone who used their vote... If they said something that violated rules I'd be more understanding.

Correct

That's essentially what I'm saying, yeah. Its the relationship a "realistic" person has with ideas held/shared by an "idealistic". That's what gives the "realist" the idea that they must just be a pessimist.

I'm personally attacking you

You're just so incorrect with logic so flawed in so many aspects there's just nowhere this conversation can go. Good luck out there.
