  • This is where I’m at. I played remake on my steam deck and I won’t buy a console to play it our any other exclusives.

    I really appreciated that they started releasing games on PC too but waiting a couple years is annoying. I greatly enjoyed zero dawn, and am finally enjoying forbidden west but having to wait years was annoying (not enough to get a ps5 though, and if they choose to never release it on PC I would just never play it ever).

    Right now I’m also waiting for Ragnarok since God of war was great. But again I’m not buying a ps5 so I’ll be waiting until it comes to PC if it does at all.








  • I think the issue here is more that interacting with certain companies or services is unavoidable. As an Android user I often will have to interact with iPhone users and the impact of their vendor lock-in techniques is that the experience of those interactions is worse on both sides.

    I can’t convince every person to stop using an iPhone, or even just just a different messaging app, most people can’t even agree what to have for dinner…

    So users that take it upon themselves to try and improve the experience by trying things like beeper or beeper mini are actually trying to help others maintain their choices and preferences without the degraded experience.

    So sometimes a person voting with their dollars isn’t enough, since it’s others choices that still have an impact





  • I feel like hourly with a fixed sale bonus would be fine for buyers.

    $50/h at the location (maybe a travel fee for places far away from their normal location), and $5000 for a successfully closed deal. All buyer paid, that would mean that the realtor gets paid for work done, and but the closing bonus means that they don’t have as much of an incentive to keep taking the customers to crappy places to keep the hourly going.

    Selling Realtors should really negotiate a fixed figure and a bonus that goes down the longer it takes to sell, this could encourage them to suggest lower prices on homes I guess, but it’s ultimately the owners decision to pick a price and the Realtors choice if it’s worth the effort to sell at that price
