I don’t know anything about how that stuff works. But considering it’s on Steam and has no dedicated servers you choose and it’s cross platform would it not have to talk to a lot of different servers simultaneously? Like, I can squad up with my buddies from the UK while I’m in Canada and also have someone on ps5 in the USA. None of them experience lag. Seems like it isn’t your normal every day “net code” most other games would have to accomplish

Yes, that’s when the show really dug in it’s hooks and let you know this show is different and buckle in.

Final Space, nothing beats it for me. I’ll be empty and hollow until Olan releases the graphic novel they’re letting him license to finish off the story from season 3 since it was cancelled with one of the time warner mergers.

Vox Machina and Chernobyl(HBO) were close contenders though.

I’m well aware revenue and profit arent 1:1. You’re “source” is a “Google person says they break even” in 2015. I give you graphs showing revenue growing at almost 4x the rate of users since 2015. Are they making 800% more profit, obviously not. But they sure as hell aren’t losing money on YouTube anymore.

Typed “was google profitable in 2022”. Took about 4 seconds.

Edit: as I’m not sure you’ll look at the graphs. I want to point out that since 2015 the “what could they have done to turn a profit” question is answered in the graphs

Users increased about 225%

Revenue has increased 700-800%

Its very profitable.

You’re only talking about one side of the coin. If the corps, owners, “the man”, etc. Paid living wages tips wouldn’t, in your opinion, “need” to exist. But since you aren’t able to grasp the bigger picture I think we’re done here. Have yourself a wonderful day.

They get paid. It’s in this thread multiple times from multiple people. There’s likely a special place for me in hell, I won’t argue that. But I hope you have enough self reflection to realize corporate ball suckers like yourself also have a special place down there with me. Have a great day.

I said typical, as in average or stereotype. Was more a jab/joke than anything, but you do you. Again, it’s not my responsibility to make up for shit pay. So instead of being mad at how fundamentally broken the system is, you’re mad at people who don’t tip a very specific industry/job. You’re really something. Well done.

Typical American, grouping an entire nation into a personal opinion. Well done.

Not American. But even if I were, no I wouldn’t tip. It’s not my responsibility to pay someone’s wage while the business opens up at another 2 locations in my city

I never implied it was “admirable”. I shouldn’t have to supplement a workers shitty pay, so I don’t. What makes a waiter/waitress more entitled to a tip over someone who stocks shelves at a grocery store or works in the fast food industry? Also I’m not American, shocking I know. If an employer isn’t going to pay their staff a proper wage in your country then that’s between the employer and employee

I think I’m in the smallest minority, but I haven’t tipped in close to a decade. When people ask me why, I answer with the question "when was the last time you tipped your grocer l, fast food window attendant or the person at the hardware store that brought out your 100lbs of lumber? " answer is always never and I say exactly.

So everything you listed is something scheduled. Something people prepare for. Water suddenly not working is neither of those things. Ignorant take

You do you. I’ll keep enjoying my cheaper internet. Have a good one

I pay 65 for gigabit fiber with Telus. At the end of the 2 year deal they’ll give me a better deal or Shaw will, I don’t care who my isp or phone provider is, whoever gives me cheaper with more gets my money. Just be assertive with them, sometimes you’ll be on the phone for 4 hours, but you save money and get faster speeds.
