Fair enough.

Thank you for the response!

Just pointing out, once again, that games sold on the Epic store can be different prices to Steam. “Valve uses their market dominance to force the same price across marketplaces” is a nonsensical, incorrect statement.

That’s because the versions sold on the company site are for ArenaNet keys, not Steam keys.

The rule is only for selling Steam keys.

As has been pointed out by many other people in this thread, this is untrue.

If you are providing a Steam key, it has to be the same price as Steam. Otherwise, you can set whatever price you want (e.g. if you were selling on both Steam and Epic - like Borderlands 3, which frequently had sales on Epic where the price dropped below the Steam price)

It’s even fine to sell your Steam keys at a lower price in another place - as long as you’re planning to have a similar sale on Steam at some similar time.

It’s OK to run a discount for Steam Keys on different stores at different times as long as you plan to give a comparable offer to Steam customers within a reasonable amount of time.

TL;DR: Games sold on Epic could be any price they want. They’re no different to Steam, in general, because that’s what publishers choose.

I haven’t played it in years, how is it doing now in 2024?

How about two drinks, plus a free drink from the airline you’re flying per half hour delayed? Seems more reasonable.

I’m not saying everything in the world has been done, but “what, like Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands?”

Wow, I didn’t realise that was still about! I’m tempted to go check it out again!

The only sad thing is that it seems like they’re (still?) only talking about the other side’s policy, rather than backing their own policy based on its strength.

Just “I’m not the other side” (but at least with policy rather than personality)

I mean, happily, chatbots are not really capable of learning like that.

So she’s got a while, there.

Have you got a source for that?

A quick search suggests that generating an image consumes between 0.01 and 0.29 kWhs (quite a range, so let’s hit the middle and use 0.14kWh), while playing Cyberpunk on a PS5 pulls about 200W, so ~0.2kWh per hour.

Seems pretty comparable, assuming you only generate a few images an hour… but if you were generating dozens, it seems like you’d overtake gaming pretty quickly.

Edit: I apologise, I took the Google summary of an article at face value. Clicking through to the linked article here actually says per 1,000 image generations which is far lower. Urgh, though actually the article also says 0.01 to 0.29 kWh. I’m just going to find another article. 🤦 If you did have a source with numbers, I’d still be interested in seeing it!

For what it’s worth, as it’s not clear if you’re already aware, but Al Franken was actually a pretty decent senator for ~9 years.

Jon has stuck his oar into political matters, but not at that level.

I think that this is the logical place to put those opinions - it would make less sense unlinked to the post.

I dislike that it’s been shotgunned at nearly every post I see, regardless of how relevant it might be, and I don’t trust the output to represent the link.

Given there’s no “bad bot” style feedback functionality (that I know of), what else is there to do than block it?

The “I” in “LLM” stands for intelligence.

I’m not quite the target for this, but I’d value the ability to take age-ID (which for me is always my driving license) on my phone in some way.

I’ll also say that I think you can get to Samsung wallet without unlocking your phone, though you need to authenticate to trigger payment, so it’s possibly a way of not handing your unlocked device out.

I’m always weirded out by folk handing over cards to be taken to machines in other areas, too.

Edit: Huh, seems like there may already be a solution for me, [here] (https://www.postoffice.co.uk/identity/easyid).

Slay the Spire is a heavy recommendation from me, though it does have online sync it works nicely offline.
