Question Mark Mound posted:

Round of applause when Miyamoto said the game is a set price and you don't need to continue payments. This is what gaming has become, where a single purchase price is a big deal.

Nintendo doesn't try to rip people off with In App Purchases.

Even in Pokemon Picross on the 3DS, you get to a point where if you buy enough In App Purchases, which is I think $30 the price of a full retail game, it just gives you unlimited Gems or whatever and says have fun

Rayman Jungle Run and Fiesta Run were good runner games that had an initial $3 cost. Not endless as they had delineated levels, but a successful example

Someone timestamp the moment the tweet weren't up and compare with the livestream to see the moment someone whispers to Tim the Twitter guy hosed up.

Yeah I super admire that, I just think it's depressing where not loving your users is applause-worthy.

Bob Morales: Aug 18, 2006; ~~Just wear the fucking mask, Bob~~

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

What's the skinny jeans budget per Apple event?

I use Google Docs a lot, where's the awful part?

I want to use the web version of iWork a lot but if you're on a lovely 6-year-old work PC, it runs like trash when Google Docs runs fine.

I wonder if they've managed to come up with something better than a $50 Seiko and a FitBit yet. Probably not.

it's bad in a lot of ways, it handles nuanced formatting poorly, the commenting margins are annoyingly narrow, there's no good typography out of the box, and on and on
