datavoid LinkSo if I understand correctly, if you pay for the cheaper "basic" plan that doesn't include Spotify's god awful audiobook implementation, the artists still get the same amount?

Why would anyone choose an audiobook plan at that point?

datavoid Link ParentI think it could probably be argued that fortnite and tiktok are disliked because they are extremely manipulative, not because a younger generation likes them.I think it could probably be argued that fortnite and tiktok are disliked because they are extremely manipulative, not because a younger generation likes them.

Comment on How hidden Nazi symbols were the tip of a toxic iceberg at Life Is Strange developer Deck Nine in ~games

Now it seems like everyone is on a crusade against the number 88 (which is fair I guess, if people are using it as a dog whistle), and I am going to get cancelled because I used to be a fan of the Philadelphia Flyers.
Replacing a ~14 year old email is not a straightforward process unfortunately. And I've used the same alias in so many places... damn nazis always have to ruin everything.

Looking through the titles and trying to remember what I played as a child was definitely an amazing experience - do note that there are thousands and thousands of titles however, and if you go through the whole list your wife / husband may feel like you are ignoring them. 🙂

Naturally I told google to fuck off and carried on with my day.. I assume it's only a matter of time before it's removed forcibly though.

The recent series on Japan was really good as well. In terms of episodes with the most impact on me, it definitely has to be the slavery one though (Human Resources). Some of the descriptions in that episode have haunted me for like 2 years now.

Also, when you get attacked by a level matched swarm of rats, it's game over.
That being said, I'm over 30 and generally play games on normal or hard. I got more satisfaction out of Sekiro than Elden Ring if that says anything.
I assume Rob jams out on a dead rat at the end of this?
