They’ll also experience multiple “Gandalf Rules” holidays. It’s a holiday I just made up that I will hold on various Thursdays at my discretion to celebrate the various ways Gandalf has strengthened my character and made me a better person

- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 4 days ago:
It really is. It’s a big cost upfront but the amount of games you can buy or emulate for such a low price makes up for it plus your PC can just be upgraded with parts and last years and years versus the death of consoles every five years give or take. Triple A games are still expensive to buy but the sales on steam make it so much easier cos those really expensive games will be like 50% off sometimes

I’d love to blame him but that seems like Nintendo’s choice. Yeah, I’m not fucking spending $80 on a game, especially when I have a gaming PC

They always prefer cave to advertisers than listen to fans anyway so fuck them. Plus the overwhelming amount of gambling that’s just fine and dandy now makes me question the integrity of the game
- Comment on DoorDash and Klarna partner to offer buy now, pay later for takeout. 2 weeks ago:
I do understand where you are coming from, if you are in a good position financially, something like this isn’t an issue. I’m in a spot now where it wouldn’t be an issue for me now but I have lived it in the past. While things like this are fine for people financially secure, it can absolutely snowball for the people it’s intending to attract. It looks easy to manage at first because it’s just a small payment of four, but then you think you can do another or forget, etc, and before you know it, you owe a lot of money without realizing it. I know that financial responsibility can help but it isn’t always that easy, especially with something like this enabling irresponsible spending and being bombarded with “buy, buy, buy” in society. I just think that any benefit I would get from this from rewards just isn’t worth it being available for others to be exploited and getting into needless debt. Things like this make the fact that we’re getting into late stage capitalism more glaring
