Mother Nature is wise

Yeah I wasn’t trying to argue, although I think my comment unintentionally sounded that way. My bad. I guess my point is that, yes, there are better questions to ask about our current state of affairs than when did we have lower prices. Questions such as:

“Which president did more to address the affordability crisis: Biden or Trump (47)?”

Biden went after this pretty hard while Trump denies there’s even a problem.

We can compare those periods, sure, but one immediately followed less than a year of Covid and the other was caused by an illegal, immoral and unnecessary war.

Biden had been in office for not very long when the war in Ukraine started. Inflation steadily improved under his presidency.

Trump’s insane slash-and-burn administration has raised inflation a lot, and that’s not slowing down, it’s increasing.

If all you do is take a mathematical average, you’ve lost too much data to understand the important reasons why we’re seeing what we’re seeing.

Not to mention the AAA games landscape kinda sucks now. You need loooong development time and the customers need reasonably expensive PC components to run the newest games. Those games keep getting more expensive while launching in bad shape (in many instances this is fixed on the launch day or shortly after, but not always).

Meanwhile Steam data shows that the vast majority of players (~70%, IIRC) spend most of their time playing games a decade old or more. You don’t need an expensive computer to do that, and those games are often free or available on steep discount.

The oceans migrate to the other side of the planet at night, which is why the sky turns orange late in the day. No more water to reflect!

Oh good timing. I just had some kava kava.

Welp, into the failures cave with the others then
