Unethical life tip: wear an extra prosthetic finger on your hand while committing crimes so you can claim any photographic evidence is AI generated!

You can always go wrongliester!

In fact, dropping them or shaking them up actually increases their yield.

ARK (and Palworld, which directly copies most of its mechanics) was actually the first game that came to mind when reading the OP. Higher rarity blueprints require hundreds of times the resources as their base counterparts just to increase the amount of busywork you need to do in late-game. Why does a shotgun that does 50% more damage require enough metal to build multiple skyscrapers? Or in Palworld, that plus the drops from a dozen boss battles to make one item?

Come on, how bad could it be?

Oh. Oh no…

Consent is important!

It’s laundry day!

He’d set up to film near a hole in the ice where seals pop up to take a breath, but the polar bear took an interest in him instead.

The assumption is that Valve made their procurement deals before the sudden price hikes, in which case the costs might actually be sane until the deal runs out and they need to renegotiate prices.

Here’s one that was a few posts above this one on the main page.

Ukrainians had a reputation for being the best source for cracks for the DRM on farming and construction equipment that prevented third-party repairs and modifications.

(There’s a reason farmers are one of the biggest groups pushing for Right to Repair.)

How, though? I’m not terribly knowledgeable about the law, but I know interoperability is one of the major sources of exceptions to copyright protection, and the whole Google vs Oracle saga would imply there’s nothing illegal about making your own implementation of a standard without permission.

Unironically, that single response would tell them more than an entire average session.

The infuriating part is they did eventually do some deduplication to reduce the install size - but only for the terrible UE5 remake that runs like crap and forces existing players to rebuy all the DLC (it’s like $150 for everything).

I’ve never found pears or oranges that taste nearly as good as my memory of them.

Luckily we have War for the Overworld to pick up where they failed.

They announced a new one a few years ago alongside the Legendary Edition remaster of the original trilogy, but I don’t think we’ve heard anything about it since the announcement teaser.

With the DLCs it’s half a terabyte. The bloat is insane.

I loved when old games had a basic mechanic you could ignore for 99% of the game, but you’d softlock yourself if you forgot it exists.

Crouch-jumping was another offender.
