You’re just so incorrect with logic so flawed in so many aspects there’s just nowhere this conversation can go. Good luck out there.

80 dollars in 1980 is the equivalent of 330 dollars today~ish. You’re not grasping the inflation aspect I’m pointing to. When looking through that particular lense, video games are cheaper now relative to historical context than they’ve ever been. Not to mention literally every consumer good increases in price consistantly to match/overcome inflation. Video games are WAY behind every other consumer product I can think of in that regard. This is especially true when talking entertainment products.

Yeah when I have an opinion like this I don’t care about the downvotes.

A new game was 60 dollars when I was 8. Im 31 now. Inflation puts the pricetag around 100 bucks if they stayed roughly the same cost. If gaming is unaffordable now its been that way since at least 2005… There also wasn’t a robust indie/cheap game scene to the tune of 10s of thousands easily accessible back then. Be annoyed about a price increase I guess but it’s not like it’s unfair or unaffordable comparatively.

Ohhhh, in that case I completely disagree with your sentiment. We have different definitions of these terms. But that’s fine. I equate the term realist with pragmatist.

Are we? I wasn’t aware

That’s essentially what I’m saying, yeah. Its the relationship a “realistic” person has with ideas held/shared by an “idealistic”. That’s what gives the “realist” the idea that they must just be a pessimist.

We are going to start hearing about data centers built in poor countries powered exclusively by coal.

Why double post ?

I just use it for porn, I like short videos with sound that are categorized easily. Lots of servers exist that cater to that. I don’t play multi-player games and any communication I have with people is either in person or through my phone.

When you frame it like that it isn’t really that bad. The first PC I built back in 2014 was around 1500, including peripherals so around 1100-1200 alone. But Its so much more useful than a individual console. I’ve been comparing it to an Xbox not an actual PC.

Yeah I’d agree.

Trolling or doesn’t know anything real about their own strong opinions.

Ultimate desire is a term my mind immediately went to. I bet its wrestling porn.
