I had my sewer line backing up into my basement a couple of months ago. My regular plumber was busy so I had to call in a company that I knew was an overpriced scam ("Dream Team" lol) but I had no choice since I had guests in the house for my father's funeral. They came and of course they couldn't clear the line and said they had to dig up and replace the whole thing. The guy had a special tablet that he showed me the three options and the prices on and it initially showed them all in dollars per month with "zero-interest financing". I was like dude just show me the total cost. The three options were $17K, $22K and $36K total but the monthly payments actually decreased with increasing total price (naturally the payment option didn't show how many total payments you would have to make).

Fortunately I called my regular plumber and he was so outraged at these motherfuckers that he came out that afternoon and cleared my line for me. Total cost $850.

The only time this breaks down for me though is that I still struggle to pay $0.99 for a mobile app I use often sometimes. Really not sure what it is.

You just reminded me of a time when $70 felt like nearly unlimited opportunities. Now, $70 means that I might get to buy groceries AND restock on spices.

Super Tux Kart is very underrated, super fun game actually 

I’ll probably never play it, but the game looks cool and I can appreciate someone else’s hard work, so Imma buy it.

Good speed on your journey!

Not necessarily my cup of tea, but at two bucks it's basically free, so...

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

I spawned as a nun in-game on the rooftop of a cake restaurant. I've got nothing but a bible to wreck zombies. And there are so many, there is no tutorial, the controls are tanky, the devs are out of their mind.

Nah it's still ten, especially if you grew up in a place that doesn't include tax in the price. That's easily getting to mid 8 after tax, and that might as well be ten.
