      Wanna get bro married? HEAR ME OUT. Two disposable incomes, we split the bills, and we can make the neighbors either very uncomfortable at night when we play video games, or they will call us brave and heroic. Every which way we look at it it's a win in my book.

      @@bobthedopeman7327 Back before same-sex marriage was legal, my buddy Brent married his lesbian friend because they figured out that it made sense for them tax-wise, saved them about $1,000 each a year. When same-sex marriage got legalized, Brent and the friend had an amicable divorce so she could marry her actual love.
      As my mom always says, "Married is a tax status." For similar but opposite reasons, she and my stepfather have been "married" for 33 years but never actually got legally married.

    DLC is such a double-edged sword.
    On the one hand, being able to infinitely expand something like the Truck Simulator games through traditional map expansions or pay a microtransaction for some new trinkets for my in-cab decoration (I paid $2 on a Steam sale for some Goodyear swag) is a great way to extend the life of a singleplayer game.
    On the other hand, there's this list of burning Dumpster fires.

    What made echoing fury so good is its lifesteal effect and fastest attack speed for an offhand so your swing timer comes back to your main hand quicker (which has more dmg to base your whirlwinds off). That's why the item was sold for that. Not damage of the weapon itself.
    Still dumb though, its worthless these days.

    Entropia Universe differs in one major thing. Your ingame money can be converted back to real money, its an actual currency, through the gamecompany (MindArk PAB founded in Sweden) and approved by the Swedish governement. Its a real economy in a virtual realm. Your ingame items have a tangible value (like a base line value). And a real added value system determined by the market. FYI...planet Michael Jackson never happened. It's now known as planet Rocktropia and run by LA resident Jon Neverdie Jacobs. Instead it became an advertising platform for The Thing franchise and was supported and theme based on the band Motorhead. The bass player Lemmy Kilmister (RIP) was a huge fan of this platform and active player. But yeah....def very expensive.
