@Matt_Saber @mattbroadstreet @ID_AA_Carmack The game launched at $70. Game pass was $15 a month. How long to beat says 14-24.5 hours. About 20 hours. Very doable in a month. Which means game pass "sells" would be the about the same as a 78% off sell. It is possible the gane was not profitable, even valuing in Game Pass.

@Taitos00 @semenov_roman_ @FBiziitu @ID_AA_Carmack Pretty much every article about dark ages sells figures state that it sold much less then expected. From a quick Google search I'm not sure the game was profitable.

@hissgoescobra Im not sure this would prove they all cheated with ai. Take home exams are open book by default, some even encourage collaboration. Scoring lower on a closed book exam doesn't prove you cheated on the open book one.

@ShawneeWulf1 @the_engi_nerd Russian air defense is still a serious issue for Ukraine. It took a years long shaping campaign for them to be able to make their recent long range strikes, and it still limits where and how they can use their planes.

@comradetrend @maxdubler California added a higher minimum wage specifically for fast food workers that raised it to $20 an hour and took effect in 2024. It was passed in September 2023, 2 years after covid restrictions ended for the state, and 7 months after the Cali state of emergency for covid ended.

@WysteriaRozez @terronk @JeremiahDJohns I'm neither an author nor a fan of rothfuss. I gave up on Martin a decade ago. What would I have to feel anger for? I was just explaining to you why people would feel upset. If you think the claim is false, call out the authors saying it. Like the one at the top of this thread.

[Robjec @Robjec1]

@WysteriaRozez @terronk @JeremiahDJohns Its like you arent understanding on purpose. Publishers are less willing to take a risk on a series because a few very big series never finished, so customers are less willing to buy unfinished books. It hurts the whole industry, even if it doesn't personally hurt you.

[Robjec @Robjec1]

@WysteriaRozez @terronk @JeremiahDJohns That would be the breaking of the social contract. Like I get it isn't a thing you care about, but enough people do that it's affecting new authors.

[Robjec @Robjec1]

@kodiak_attack @superfeyn Well now you've given him ideas :(

[Robjec @Robjec1]

@WysteriaRozez @terronk @JeremiahDJohns It's apparently enough of an issue to make publishers hesitate on new series.

[Robjec @Robjec1]

@WysteriaRozez @terronk @JeremiahDJohns That's just the nature of selling a series. No one forced them to make it a series.

The social contract is that if a writer starts a series, they will finish it if able. Large profile writers not following this makes customers more reluctant to buy unfinished series.

登場人物や大型古生物そしてSFならではの古生物料理
それらだけでも十分魅力的

だけど真の立役者たちは彼女たちの背景を彩る様々な動植物たちだと思う

ある意味背景がこの作品のもう一つの主役なんだなと

あらゆるコマに映り込んだ何気ない景色がとても没入感を高めてくれる✨

@WysteriaRozez @terronk @JeremiahDJohns It's a social contact.

[Robjec @Robjec1]

@WysteriaRozez @terronk @JeremiahDJohns Its the part where they told their customers it was a series that they were writting and the customers should buy.

@kypszm84 @SaladinAlDronni There is unlikely to be someone both willing and able to intervene in at least the next year.

[Robjec @Robjec1]

@kypszm84 @SaladinAlDronni Currently there aren't really any countries/alliances which can intervene who are not preoccupied with their own wars, have the ability to intervene, were not asked to leave (France), and are not Russia. US foreign policy has also weakened NATOs' ability to do anything.

@399CY_vtuber @kobokanaeru If it's for July 4th weekend/ anything around anime expo, I would double that Uber budget. If it's somewhere she can take the train she could do a lot of sightseeing for half that.

[Robjec @Robjec1]

@megamilk @kobokanaeru If she is coming for the con she will likely end up eating from food trucks, at the hotel, or order food to her hotel. It is a huge time commitment to leave and come back during big events. Travel costs will be ridiculous this weekend. Likely $60 to Uber in or out of the city.
