This perception that cost=quality is so funny. It’s a tragedy that Jules Borel gave up on Mallards. Swiss movements in stainless cases, sold as a price-point piece. Peanuts compared to most shitass luxury watches of the time that used the exact same movement.

Casio has a line of ladies watches with floral borders, I wear one as a man and get lots of compliments.

Casio does variants of the same model with all stainless steel cases/bands for a bit more, but it’s usually the japan exclusive colorways that see prices north of $70 or so. Casios are usually pretty affordable!

I can’t preempt the logic but I do wholeheartedly agree with all the conclusions.

hell yeah, these look great! simple and consistent in the style, pretty much exactly what you want in a map.

I had no idea that came from Freud! What a mixed bag of a guy.

Yeah, what’s up with that? Is it something about not seeing the person face to face that makes us so prone to opening up in this way? The absence of normal social pretense maybe?

I had to lock down my account and hide my inventory because at some point I got a pretty rare TF2 drop and I started being targeted by both scams and legit trade offers to the point where the spam made it hard to use the service.

This is an angle that often goes unconsidered. As someone with a valuable inventory, the social aspect of the service has been made all but completely unusable for me.

The profits made from the ingame markets aren’t that scuzzy until you realize they’re primarily making those profits from their f2p, in house developed games (tf2, cs, and dota). At the end of the day, Valve wants to make money. If all of their money comes from virtual items, the primary thing that will see any real dev time/effort is gonna be those virtual items. It’s profitable stagnation, and it’s bad for consumers.

Doesn’t Valve make most of it’s money off the virtual economies of tf2 and counter strike?

No dog, you just really like the thing they’re talking about and it’s coloring your reaction. The points they’re making are actually very reasonable, but your responses read like they’re just criticizing Valve as a matter of opinion rather than practice.

Again, this could very easily be confirmation bias. Without social media you wouldn’t have seen this post to make this comment, but this fella would still be just as sad.
