Title is very accurate. Awesome pic

I was trying to think of something before clicking on the post and money was literally the first and only thing I came up with

Notes app maybe? Then in a year or so you stumble upon your notes and are all confused because you didn’t write down any context for your thoughts

Bloodborne enemy? That’s the long one of the two Foreskin Apostles

While also cheap, technically, all of these should be relevant to us since they present a very healthy and balanced diet. Legumes are the shit. Obligatory fuck billionaires though

Check my post history :D

I mean, it depends. PS5 Pro is an enthusiasts console that, compared to regular PS5 and Slim, won’t be selling as much. Playing the devil’s advocate, you could argue that the higher price point is then warranted since they won’t be selling as many units (99% sure they just made it more expensive because they can but whatever).

In the past, their consoles were sold at a loss, at a lower price point, which they could justify by profiting in other areas of their business, such as games and accessories. Sony could, theoretically, do this to PS6 too to ensure that not too many people are priced out of having a console and retain their status of loyal-ish customers.

Wishful thinking on my part for sure but not too unrealistic when you think about it.

If you put it that way

The value proposition is just heavily skewed towards video games. Some games cost less than a single visit to the cinema and provide heaps more entertainment. Sure, it’s different entertainment and the social aspect of going to the cinema is a factor too, but I’m not much into cinemas myself, so I know where my money goes.

I’ve made a post. Check my post history :)

The thing is, the monetary incentive is necessary because there are not enough people donating - plasma, blood, whatever. So if that’s what’s needed to get people to donate (or whatever else word you want to use), then that’s fine in my books. Both sides get something.

I get the idea of wanting it to be on donation-basis only, but people don’t donate for free as often as when they do *get money. Because society is inherently selfish and doesn’t care for the needs of others.

Again, the service the companies provide is directly beneficial to society. Yes, big pharma is a thing and medicine should be free. But what’s not how things work. So what’s the problem?

Unnecessarily loaded comment. Plasma is used in creating drugs that help people. So you help people. How’s it bad?

I might make a post unless you want to

It’s on top, not a substitute. It’s literally free money and helps a person in need

I mean, all I have to do is drink a bunch of water before my appointment - like 2 litres, maybe - eat a little and I’m set. Human bodies regenerate blood plasma within days, else you’d not be able to physically sustain donations twice a week, so the only thing I’m losing is my time, which I can spend on my phone.

Not even touching upon the societal and medicinal benefits of donating blood and plasma, I don’t see what I’m losing here.

What’s your stance on donating bone marrow and thrombocytes?

Selling blood plasma is a scam? I mean there’s obviously a market for it, else blood banks wouldn’t be paying you for your donation. But at least where I live, I get 25€ per donation and can, in theory, go twice a week if I feel like. While between jobs, I actually had to depend on that for a couple months to afford rent, as sad as that sounds. Didn’t sound too horrible.

Genuinely curious since I’m not super knowledgeable on the topic. Had been donating plasma since 2018, I think, but apart from that…

Shortcuts in the way that WoW handles it, ie. instant leveling, or literal shortcuts like waypoints on map? Afaik, both exist, right? At least you can skip the campaign.

And would including power in some way not lead to P2W?

I guess it depends how aggressive your monetisation is. I feel like Blizzard was super greedy already, looking at Overwatch’s 20€ skins, but studios like Riot sure don’t make it more realistic for mtx to become cheaper in the future. People seem to be fine paying 20€ for a single equipment transmog for some reason.
