I was talking to a friend about this yesterday, and I want to preface by saying this is NOT going to be a defense of the large corpo ghouls NOR a push to increase the price of gaming, please.

It's simply a debate on how we as people think regarding return on investment. If we really think about it, gaming is actually extremely cheap all things considered, which is kind of bizarre.

People spend $15,00 to watch a 3 hour movie at the cinema, meaning $5,00 per hour of entertainment. Some spend $300,00 on 3 hour long music shows, meaning a whoping $100,00 per hour of entertainment.

Many games, on the other hand, costs $70,00 for, give or take, 70 hours of playtime. That is a measly $1,00 per hour of entertainment. And that is not even considering the larger games with multiple hundreds of hours in them.

Why is it that we, including myself, feel so irked to fork over that ammount for something I know will bring me more hours of joy than any other forms of media? Does anyone have a psycho-social explanation for this phenomenon?

And it has to do with his repetition of talking points.

I noticed this years ago and now I cannot unsee it, it's present in basically every video about a news development / drama / controversy of any kind.

Charlie will include a clip of the stream showing his reaction to learning of the subject, then cut back to the present recording where he proceeds to explain exactly what we just watched/heard a second time.

Even sometimes when he is not reacting to anything, and instead talking off the cuff about anything he is passionate about, he will still do this. Make a few points and then, once he runs out of things to say, go back to the start of his argument and make the exact same points again using different words.

He obviously doesnt care about algorithm meta and video lengh, so I believe he doesn't even do it on purpose, its just his natural speech/talking pattern? I dont know what to call it but it gets annoying sometimes, like I cant help but think he thinks his audience is dense? Do we really need to be told everything twice with synonyms and/or told what we literally just heard a second time?

Am I the only one?

edit: getting downvoted is crazy, are we gonna curb a simple discussion because saying anything remotely critical is blasmephy now?

This pertains to the Project Tamriel mod, Skyrim: Home of the Nords.

I'll gloss over the roleplaying and my character's journey so far. Soon I'll be heading to Skyrim while on the run, and I want a home to call my own.

Anywhere good on Dragonstar I can get early? Safe containers? I was eyeing the abandoned Fighter Guild in the east side, but I just saw the wiki page, not sure if its even accesible or furnished.

Will I have better luck on Karthwasten?

"Would you rather have unlimited bacon and no more video games"

OR

"Games, unlimited games, but no more games"

He is describing the Playstation 5 (or rather the whole current generation of consoles).

A massive storefront and subscription service with tens of thousands of digital games, all from the past generations. But we don't get a single new motherfking game.
