Oh yeah, I’ve had a few brown recluses crawling around in mine.

Also less chance of spiders when you go to bed
Definitely trolling
Rape culture
Because someone said bitch and doesn’t follow your orders?
Lol.
But you’re also probably trolling
The communists are policing speech? Who would have guessed
They have a supply. It’s based on their cost to produce.
companies are looking at extracting maximum value for them. You seem to dislike that.
With artificial region locks that shouldn’t exist. Open markets are better, and the bigger the market the better it is.
Literally just open up a few games in steam DB. It’s a smooth gradient of nations with differing prices. It would absolutely not be negligible.
Forcing global prices will mean that the revenue maximizing price for the first world will do down.
Publishers will not just ignore the global markets. They will just be forced to sell their games for actual value instead of “how much you can pay”
The alternative is not listing in those regions, not lowering prices for you
The alternative is marginally lower prices for the first world and higher prices for the third world as the prices become global instead of a massive grift which charges you based on how much money you’re able to spend.
Yeah they are.
The game is being sold to the third world only exist because the first world is paying as much money as they are.
It’s literally a scheme to extract more money out of people. It should be illegal to prevent people from the ability to use things like VPNs to get those cheaper prices opening up the market and ensuring the prices actually match supply and demand.
Oh I think they are making more revenue by charging the first world more, but I also think they shouldn’t be able to get away with it.
How do you think a price for a product is found in capitalism
It should be priced on supply and demand. It should be priced based on companies like steam having no ability to control which country someone purchases from and everyone on the first world just using a VPN to jump borders and fix the cheapest country available.
Basically we just been a regulation making it illegal for companies like steam to deny people access to regional pricing. Then they will be forced to find a price point that matches supply with demand, instead of fleecing the first world for more money
there aren’t any costs to subsidize.
Literally the entire development cost. Games don’t appear for free. They are developed with the money you pay.
Regional pricing is basically saying that for some reason video games should cost more because you have more money to spend on them.
That’s just asinine. Every other industry that tries it gets widely criticized for it. If you want to get more money out of people with more money, give them more stuff. Don’t arbitrarily decide something costs more in one country than it doesn’t another even though the distribution costs are identical and the development costs are identical between them.
Vim absolutely chews through anything you throw at it. Lots of times we need data formated or lots of SQL queries and I’m the go to guy because I understand vim macros.
Especially if you have any form of RSI.
I wonder if it would be possible to make a user accessable way to expose similar power to the common user.
Those features aren’t enabled nor integrated. They’re added to Vim at its extensibility points.
And that has to be just about one of the pettiest to distinctions known to man.
It’s still built to write code. Yes text is code, but vim is not a text editor in general,. It’s made for programmers, nobody else is crazy enough to learn such obtuse syntax or want to have a developer with a scripting language built into it.
The features are in the editor. They are integrated with the editor. Yes, it’s through plugins, but they’re still part of the editor instead of part of some different program.
The word integrated literally just means you don’t go into some other program to run your build.
It’s an integrated environment for development.
It’s an IDE!
It has debuggers.
It has syntax highlighting
It has compiling.
Even if you have to install them as plugins, it’s designed to be doing all of those things.
Vim isn’t designed to facilitate the use of vimscript, vimscript is just an extensibility feature of Vim.
Vim is designed to edit code, by the people who were doing it back in the 70s and all of its features are there to enable better, faster, and more efficient editing.
It has scripts for the sake of those scripts enabling integrated developer features. Because they’re part of vim they’re in the environment and the program is used predominantly for development.
In that case every IDE is “just a text editor” because basically every IDE is built around modularity in this same way. This is just nitpicking over what is preinstalled.
“You see here my car has positions for all the parts of a boat so it’s easily made into a boat and it’s already waterproof but it’s just a normal car”
You’re not a normal text editor if you have a built in scripting language.
Israel
China
Venezuela getting prepared to invade one of its neighbors.
Couple of nations in Africa are getting ready to go to war too, I forget what the name of it was, Uganda? They’re wanting to get a path to the ocean.
The United States needs to be ready not only to fight in Ukraine, but also about four other places in the world right now. I’m in full support of giving them everything possible, but there’s a lot of valid reason not to go full of ham.
