Well habits are valid and in the end a cm is just as arbitrary as an inch, but converting between units is just objectively easier with metric

Just try adding 1/3 and 5/8. In my field fractions like that are nowhere near precise enough anyways, so you'd need to work with thousands of inches, which just makes you wish there was a smaller unit like millimeters

Have had that game in my library for years, maybe I need to play it

What I like is the use of parts of inches. Especially the fractions which are powers of two. Very useful. That's a little difficult with the cm and mm because they're already so small.

What? With millimeters you barely have to use fractions because it is so small, how is that a negative? Fractions are also way harder to understand if you need to het precise

That last paragraph hurts too much, some programmers live too much in a programmers bubble/underestimate UX design way too much

You can't just scale game prices linearly with inflation, sure costs of development have increased, not just because of inflation but also because games are much more complex now. But the gaming market has grown a lot and games are infinitely reproducible so that hugely increases profits.

I don't know how much we should pay for games, but just comparing it to inflation is useless

Can we make it a crime to make that a crime?

Everything really did become worse after 2016, didn't it?

What a world we live in, where calling someone not as bad as Hitler is an optimistic take

I can totally emulate PS2 and some Switch games on my phone, but never really use the power

How the hell am I in the bottom 46% with an annual income of €38000?

Edit: I see, I think this is more about purchasing power than income, selecting some random 3rd world country would out me way higher
