@TheFloridaBoss@DingusJH@smartereveryday People who know how quality looks find quality things, but many people don't know. I have no way to know how one random thing is better than a similar cheaper random thing. I tried asking store assistants, and they usually don't know. So the only obvious difference is price.
@Frank_merc1999@gavinortlund It seems that people assume that suffering itself is bad. Why? I see suffering as indication of evil, and evil as absence of goodness. So (simplified) I see hell as not worse than nonexistence, and the only difference is that, in hell, there may be someone to notice that.
@FeDoB@DenisFoox@ISumire1986@CohhCarnage Maybe. I amn't significantly interested in franchises. I realize that I may not be a representative sample of the population in this regard.
@FeDoB@DenisFoox@ISumire1986@CohhCarnage If the rights owner releases the game, there is no problem with licences. Otherwise, I don't see any benefit of using these franchises over similar ones without licencing issues.
@caesararum I would restate the question so: Everyone, are you having a good time tonight?
That is a question to every person separately, so every person can answer that alone. The answer from the original question can be reconstrued from the individual answers.
@gavinortlund After reading the comments, I realize that “2+3=5” is not a good example of what you mean. I think that modus ponens is better. It connects a logical expression to the real world. I can rely on that “A→B” in a sound logic means that, if I have A, I have also B.
@graykevinb@gavinortlund I say I'm a formalist on weekdays and platonist on Sundays. Mathematics relies on an objective basis to work, according to which, the definitions of the terms “2”, “+”, “3”, “=”, “5” lead to the truth of the statement “2+3=5”. Without that, nothing could be meaningfully inferred.
@PerennialLearns@MattWhitmanTMBH But why will this play forever be recorded as an out in the annals of history? I don't have any context for this apart from the original post.
@coffeebreak_YT Do you know about the scandal around a donation of bitcoins worth 50 million USD by a convicted drug dealer to the Czech ministry of justice?

@Pray4TheBatman@Pirat_Nation … I consider my 9-years-old PC viable for gaming because there are many old or simple games, and new AAA games are not inherently more enjoyable.
@Pray4TheBatman@Pirat_Nation Companies obviously want to convince customers to spend more money, but what they buy is on the customers. I think that a viable gaming PC may be built for an equivalent of 1000 $ in developed countries. …
@munaasiweeregi@ZelenskyyUa … That the papal office is holy is for another argument about legitimacy of papacy. Bible texts stating that only God is holy are difficult to understand, but I found an explanation saying that it means that only God is inherently holy, and other things just may become holy. …
