I thought it much more interesting than the more famous “Crash” movie…

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is sales tax justified for what you get in return or too high?
1·8 days agoNot the question you should be asking. You should be asking: is the total tax burden justified for what you get?
I’m in Oregon and have no sales tax, but my income and property taxes are higher and my total tax burden is a little above the mean. I think I get a decent State to live in, good roads, fairly functional social net, environment protections, mediocre schools. I think the tax burden is mostly justified…
Costco is a huge market so it has many suppliers. I bought a bag a month ago that matched this post: a noticeable amount of empty shells. The next bags were fine. Probably just a wave of product from one supplier.

Games@lemmy.world•Behold, "the whole story of Steam's economy in one picture": the top 1% of games earn 84.5% of estimated revenue, and most games barely make anythingEnglish
14·13 days agoA lot of games on Steam hold zero interest to me. AI is just the newest form of slop. Beyond that what I see is a hell of a lot more games are being released in the last 4 years. That means more competition but also many have not been around long enough to build up over time revenue. To a certain extent you are comparing life time revenue to launch revenue. On AAA that probably doesn’t matter as much but on the lesser hyped indy games I think it would be an important distinction.

Games@lemmy.world•Least favorite game sequel in a series?English
1·19 days agoIt’s probably be viewed as heresy, but GTA Vice City is by far my least favorite. Miami is just a flat boring city to drive in. You know it’s bad when the high points are bridges and parking garages. Vice City’s only redeeming feature was the flying car cheat. Got a few hours of enjoyment with police chases with that on…
And yes, I’m mildly concerned about VI…
Weird take. I’m not a fan of third wave but two tone and old Jamaican kick ass. More like you can’t understand how someone would not like pizza with triple cheese and some cheese shavings on top as third wave was way to cheesy…



Sounds like a lot of people will be full of shit. Literally instead of just metaphorically…
