How does them giving free games have anything to do with their desire for a "monopolistic" market share? Couldn't they just do the same if they wanted any market share?

Yes but they used it as an adjective, not a verb.

Man, I flew to a Korean last year for around $800 a ticket but I CANNOT find anything under 1k this year so far. And I've been looking all year, I even use most of these tricks... I'm afraid flying there is just a lot more expensive now 😞

Hey, just wanted you to know I'm on episode 6 of the uncanny counter season 1. Enjoying it a lot so far!

Glad to know I was the cause of your not-misery!

Not that I disagree but that kinda of mentality is how we got here imo. "That's a problem for the future."

I explained at least one thing wrong with it

No, GP said that there's nothing wrong with wanting to see the world, and all you replied what's wrong with air travel.

And just because traveling the world is a recent phenomenon, doesn't mean people haven't had the desire to explore the world and distant places for centuries.

UGH, THIS ONE IS SO GOOD.

Sounds very exhausting and sometimes I complain because once or twice a year we have to work a little extra on Friday night's, haha. Nice to have some perspective sometimes.

I wouldn't say being an air traffic controller is really anything like being a pilot to be honest. Pilots have to have very technical knowledge of aeronautics and focus their one single job of safely managing / landing their plane. An air traffic controller has to coordinate airspace for (possibly) many aircraft in a safe way. It can get very chaotic when things go awry but 90% of the time it's fairly straight forward procedure.

I was about task how a person can even work that much forgetting I used to do air traffic control and had very similar hours. Glad I don't have to work like that anymore. Although I'm sure your work is more rewarding.

I mostly agree with this, but I don't think I'd enjoy playing with a clip + controller combo and I'd really love to use a backbone if they made one that fit my phone.

There's other backbone-like controllers that do though, so I may give that a shot.

Dont know about where you're from but when someone says concert they usually mean large production in an arena or other large seating capacity venue. Not something that is held at bars. I'd call something I go to at a bar a "show".

Was really disappointed the more I learned about this. And I'll say it looks awful too, something an 8 year old would design. But, I don't play my playstation nearly as much as I'd like simply because it's not portable like my switch. Maybe this will be the kick I need to play my PS games more and for $200, it's pretty affordable. Might as well give it a try.

Really hope you let me know what you think of it whenever you get a chance!

Well I guess I don't really have a place other than here to discuss kdrama. I used to a very tiny bit on reddit and occasionally I see kdrama come up on Mastodon.

But it's good to know I was wrong, that it is fairly popular!

I totally agree about the ending. But in my honest opinion, I think a lot of kdramas don't have great endings.

::: spoiler spoiler I really wish they could have shown the progression of the grandpa coming to terms with liking her instead of being whisked away to America and now he's somehow okay with her??? :::

They are referring to those who hold liberal market beliefs. Not liberal social beliefs. Also known as conservatives in the US.

Best I can do is magic underwear.

The dude who runs this on Mastodon is a pretty cool dude. I follow him and sometimes we talk about a print he posted. He's always down to discuss some games haha.

Oh.. well that makes sense haha.

Your work is awesome!

I didn't know lost judgement was a sequel. What's the first game??

I have the same feelings about Mr. Sunshine... to this day I still quip to my wife about some of the events that happened on that show. She has offered to watch it with me but I don't know if I can.

Fair enough. I find discovery difficult since there is a lot of crap out there and a lot of promoted stuff isn't that great imo. Appreciate that reply though.

Whoa, awesome there's a falcom community on lemmy!

Where do you find out about good webtoons? There's been one or two okay ones but I'm always so overwelmed by the options and I don't really know where people discuss these kinds of things.

The company I work for is based out of San Diego (I'm from the deep south) and they fly me out there occasionally for work. I also lived there for about a year a little over 10 years ago. Downtown San Diego is somewhat similar to what you mentioned but the rest of it is basically paradise. Granted, I couldn't afford to live there (especially the paradise parts) but none of the stuff you mentioned has been a problem to me as an out-of-towner.

I rented a car so I can't comment on taxis, but I'm willing to bet that's not a California specific thing. In fact, if you've ever been to Seoul or Busan you would probably wish you had a California driver. The nice hotel I stayed at was around $250 a night I believe and it was around some nice shops that I visited for food. Never saw anyone steal anything and don't recall seeing stuff locked up (at least not nearly as much as I do where I'm from in the south).

I went to Pacific beach, didn't see anyone (noticeably) on drugs and ate a wonderful dinner and ran around on the beach at night with some coworkers. We also went to a Padres game (they lost) and had a blast. Parking sucked and was expensive. There were a good bit of homeless people packed downtown and it wasn't nearly as nice as it was 10 years ago. The worst thing about it is it's super expensive and things are really far a part and car centric, but I don't know any place in the US that's not really like that.

However, I absolutely believe every thing you said. I don't doubt any of it. In fact it sound vaguely similar to my experience in San Fransisco many years ago. California is a massive state, like, super duper big. Some parts are better than others but overall I think it's a pretty sweet place if you could afford it. There are definitely places I'd choose to live over California but it wouldn't be too far down the list.

This is pretty dope. I don't envy the position pancake was in though.

This is just awful in the best way lol.

Whoa, I'm on mastodon and love pics of food. What's your @?

I don't have a dog in the fight and unfortunately I can't read the Spanish sources above but I appreciate you taking the time to defend your point even when you won't get any love on this site.

The standard version of Netflix comes with the tapeworm. Upgrade to the UHD 4k package for tapeworm free viewing.

I've always been very tempted to read these. I think you just convinced me to give it a go after I finish my current book!

I'm in the exact same place as you! I've bought all the games and I'll buy this too, but it'll probably be a long time before I'll get to it.

And Dragon Quest XI was released for the 3DS I'm Japan. Never understood why we couldn't get that here too.

Love your slime profile pic.

Final Fantasy XVI, Persona a 4 Golden (Vita). Might play some ToTK but really trying to finiah Persona 4. Cut my finger so I can't play any street fighter 6 :(

Haha, I believed you saw content just saying nothing is showing for me on lemmy.ml and actually not on mastodon surprisingly. Oh well, hope we can generate a community regardless!

Sounds good to me, it's pretty dead over here. Still not sure how the communities between instances work because I cannot see anything in the kdrama!kdrama@chirp.social instance you mentioned.

I'd love to see all posts across all federations though.

Extraordinary attorney woo. It's primarily about a lawyer with autism and has many fun loveable moments. It's so easy to watch too and doesn't suffer from a lot of the cornyness I see from other kdramas.
