I love the game, but I'd like to point out that baldur's gate 3 does have a single microtransaction, it gives you a custom dice skin, a tie in item from divinity original sin and a bunch of low level potions. It costs 12CAD.

Who buys them?

• People who dont game buying a present who just go "oh deluxe version, not that much more expensive, lets treat them"
• wealthy people that just pick the priciest option
• people with completitionist tendencies
• streamers and wannabe streamers for whom the extra cost is a trivial operating expense
• children and others that dont understand the value of a dollar
• people whose primary draw to the game is the photomode
• "i like game, I want more game therefore I pay more" (yes this logic is terrible when applied to microtransactions)

Depends on how old the game is and how big the DLC is IMO. Rimworld, for instance, has quite a few DLCs now, but they are all well worth it if you like the base game. OTOH if a game just has cosmetic DLC or the DLC is coming out super near release that's a red flag.

Even if we intentionally released as much co2 as we could all life on earth is not at risk. Remember that there's a fair amount of life that is virtually unchanged since the paleozoic period when all that co2 was in the air. Beyond that there's stuff that hangs out in volcanic vents, rapidly evolving life that can adapt even to rapid change, bacteria, molds, mosses and algae. And who knows maybe there's even a small adaptable mammal or 2 that gets out and evolves enough for a second attempt at sapience.

Don't get me wrong the climate disaster is truly a unique and devastating extinction event, but humans are not so powerful as to leave the earth a completely lifeless rock.

I always think this when I see those annoying posts about diet coke dissolving screws.

When public services are kneecapped to be worse than their private equivalent then people stop using them and then they turn private.

It definitely started as a sexual innuendo.

This went viral. The girl tried to capitalize on her 15 minutes of fame by starting a right wing podcast and then a crypto scam.

You could do the same with streaming services, gyms, and all manners of things.

Yes I agree!

Because it makes the country a better place to live.

It's interesting that cannabis oil vapes (side note i find these worse in almost every way to a dry herb vape and don't understand the popularity) almost always have disposable tanks attached towith reusable batteries in contrast to nicotine almost always fully disposable.

I'm really interested to see what if any green considerations will be made for the modular homes. It seems like a good opportunity.
