Thanks, I’ll look into it also. I needed this a couple weeks ago but better late than never!

Also quite different. I think Terraria is objectively better than base game Minecraft, though, after their respective updates (which I blame Microsoft monetization). When modded, they’re both great games.
I still love working against the clock to stop corruption from taking over my Terraria planet, though. Reclaiming land is a thing I like, but there are mods like that in Minecraft too that are really fun of you’re into it.
It certainly wasn’t a thriving business, but I don’t think it’s purely a correlation isn’t causation situation. The points about clientele not adapting are probably valid, given the evidence suggests that they lost those loyalists on top of their nose dive.
And yes, it can work if you are consistent. Trader Joes is a good example, they are thriving and haven’t once did sales while virtually every other grocer does. Domino’s is set in their ways, though, although they’d probably survive if they blundered.
Reading the comments about Domino’s coupon obsession, I feel like giving an economics story about when JC Penney said nuts to sales and coupons and nearly went bankrupt.
Corpos in food and retail found that overpricing things then hitting you with deals and coupons caused American audiences to feel like they were getting a good deal. 15 buck pizza for only 6 dollars? Sounds like a deal until you realize that it’s really cheap to make thanks to suppliers and premade frozen pizzas. But if they always price it at 6 bucks, you’re gonna raise an eyebrow.
What if you don’t do that? JC Penney had that idea a few years ago, since their industry basically priced jeans for 100 bucks and then said they were 70% off almost every day. So they tried everyday low prices and… they nearly bankrupted themselves. Lots of factors, but their main factor was their usual clientele thought they weren’t getting a deal even though the prices were cheaper than competitors (while not really attracting a new audience savvy enough to know sales are a scam).
Point is, Domino’s is in a cycle of coupons or bust. It’s a shame you don’t have good pizza options at reasonable prices nearby, though, and a shame the good old days of free delivery seem behind us.
I can’t wrap my mind over that price, our most overpriced place are $30 a pizza and those are humongous. Did you include overpriced sides? I find $15 for 6 wings a bit much and that’d usually do it.
Funny, cause my wife found that kind of annoying for some reason. Iirc, it was optional though. (I ultimately had to solo most of the ones I had, but I’ll get back into it when my kids are older, haha)
Side by side, but let’s be honest, over/under gives a better field of vision. Depends on the game, I guess.
Woe to the people with more siblings and the four way split.
Funny how I’m an era with 70inch+ TVs, split screen feels like a relic. No, instead we had to do our split screen on 18inch CRTs. Tsk.
At least it exists still in the indie sphere (and I guess Lego games, when far apart!).
I don’t know about you but I’m going to have to keep my daughter away from social media! It’ll rot her brain and make her a tankie! (We are taking about Lemmy, right? /s)
True, if and when I ever get around to replaying things that could be a problem (although the industry has seen to remaking everything I cared about, sometimes poorly, but that’s another problem).
Another shout-out to the nerds running retroachevements though because they thought it that; they have an encore mode that let’s you redo achievements. Although honestly you could just make a second account, that stuff is for emulated content anyway and it’s not like it’s DRMed, haha.
Only silly people flaunt achievements. I use them as a meta-gaming guideline, which in a good game leads to interesting and fun challenges. In an RPG, it’s like a check box for getting every ultimate weapon, fighting every boss, etc.
Can also give me something to do in a game I’ve played but loved. Retroachevements for instance encouraged me replay SaGa (aka Final Fantasy Legend) with only one character in the team. Wasn’t too hard, but definitely a second playthrough thing.
Favorite point and click adventure: Sam and Max. They recently remastered the first season. Funny/silly game.
There’s a couple of mods that do that, but I remember watching a streamer nuke a small town for the luls (his fans were on server and were cool with it). Nowadays most packs have anti-greving stuff, though, which is a double edged sword as claimed chunks can’t even get damaged by creepers.
That said, I think my favorite is Thaumcrafts oopsies— too much magic, you get eldrich horrors tearing the very fabric of reality. It’s very unsettling and does turn every block to a corrupted stone that’s a pain to break.
Let’s not besmirch the name of modded Minecraft. I just got my mekanism fission reactor running and the nuclear fallout from messing that up would make a 8 chunk area unlivable for 29 game days.
Vanilla can have it’s fucking armadillos, lol.
And that’s what I kept getting on LinkedIn.
Quality over quantity, I guess. It could be a great place to recruit IT and Linux pros, lol.
I visit reddit occasionally and honestly, Reddit is also just reddit recycled content. I’m not on there nearly as much as I used to be and I still see the same fucking posts and videos on popular, many of which are just karma bots.
I think I see more new stuff on Lemmy. Not usually good stuff, but at least it’s novel. Or very very old memes, but that’s not recycled reddit, that’s more recycling icanhascheeseburger or some shit, and I’m down for that.
I just installed Norton Anti-Virus Suite and it’s been amazing. I haven’t been able to use my computer since!
I’m glad someone brings that one up. Oof.
RDP is for pro version only, and plenty of people get home version by default. There are better options, but I want to clarify that.
