Oh people have realized that with headlines gone you can basically just make your own headline I read about this change somewhere else first and was like "wtf, how tf is a simple headline share now supposed to look", especially since Musk said that its supposed to have "aesthetic reasons".

| Topic | Why is no one OUTRAGED at D4 like they were with Cyberpunk 2077?? |
| Karovorak 10/05/23 8:11:47 AM #36 | Different problems, different solutions, different reaction.
Cyberpunk was a huge disappointing mess, from a technical pov. Diablo 4 had a lack of endgame, in form of content. People knew that fixing Cyberpunk is going to be hard. People hoped that the endgame of Diablo 4 was going to be delivered with the start of season 1. In the end, people were able to enjoy Diablo 4 for some time, but Cyberpunk was unenjoyable for many. Easy as that. --- Planning is the process of replacing chance with error. |

| Topic | Why is the internet so allergic to the word "suicide"? |
| Karovorak 10/05/23 4:36:54 AM #38 | It's an really bad and complex topic that has no clear general solution.
On one hand, we should want to create much more awarness for this. The numbers are crazy, it's an extremly big social problem in all of the western world, but somehow we ignore it so much. On the other hand there is the Werther effect, meaning that any awarness could also lead to more encouragement. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copycat_suicide Thats why the big social media are so strict about this.

Cafes were better, but I went to those like 3 times total, cause I'd rather get pizza or gelato if it's past morning. Oh, don't get me wrong, HAG should be pretty decent stuff, even if I don't drink it myself. It's more about the "rivaly" of Germany vs. Italy and coffee vs. coffeinfree coffee I was making fun of.

A)HAG, which I was never clear on if it was an acronym or just a weird label. You got scammed. Twice. 1) HAG is a German coffee brand, not an Italian one, and the acronym is the most german acronym ever: "Kaffee-Handels-Aktiengesellschaft" (Literally "Coffee-Trading-Stock corporation"). 2) HAG is famous for it's coffein free coffee. No, seriously, you probably wont be able to find bad coffee in Italy, and not even expensive one.

What makes crystal different from glass though. In case of Swarovski, more or less nothing. But they are the leading glass cutter in the whole world, and they use this fame to put it on the price tag. Their business model is making glass look like gems for not even 1/10 the costs, but asking 1/2 of the price. They are also pretty good with optics. Their quality is real for sure, it's just the price that's pretty extreme. --- Planning is the process of replacing chance with error. |

GameFAQs ads are tailered to the experience of its members. So the next time you see a weird ad like this, just know it's because of the search histories of CE. That's some urban legend that isn't as true as people think it is. It's true for many product ads (especially Amazon), but most ads just go for general demographics ("male, 30ish"), and many others just spread out everywhere they can do it for cheap. Many of them don't even aim for the user specifically, but the site they are embedded on (so, not Karovorak is a 30ish man, but GameFAQs is visited by mostly 30ish men). Like, I just opened my ad invested local newspaper without ad block on, and I got some ads about medical skin issues and cars.

I make a living making you pay more for stuff is every middle man ever But usually the middle man gives some kind of benefit for the customer, as they usually take care of some parts of distribution and logicisting, and also act as your first adress if you have some issues. The average scalper even removes some benefits. Good luck dealing with a random scalper if your PS5 suddenly acts up after a week. That's already going to be annoying with the big chains or Amazon, but it's borderline hopeless with some 2nd hand scalper purchase. --- Planning is the process of replacing chance with error. |

In the mind, that is. They just have a generic form and general character traits, making up like only 10% of what a human being would be in reality, and the human mind just creates the remaining 90% however they want. Like, take some random anime girls, and compare their faces. You have the shape of more round/ more sharp, and same with the eyes, and that's it. As soon as it hits your preferences it's an automatic 10/10 face, because there is no impurity or flaw at all that could reduce a perfect 10/10 score. Same with the character.
