there was no win condition

I remember its also to make it so you can't finish a game within rental window, and you are forced to buy the game.

Or they were short games, so they increased the difficulty to increase your playtime.

NES carts had a limited amount of memory space thus games could only be so big and making games more difficult was an easy way to add play time while staying with in the limited memory size.

Same here in Mexico! You are legally required to leave cars as they are after an accident, otherwise insurance won't cover it

no one in tech talks base pay, most of our pay comes in stock grants and bonuses so we use TC - total compensation. Take like two minutes on Blind and you’ll see most people are making $500k+, usually around $300k as a first job.

@@qiii I have been working as a software developer for more than a decade, and I can assure you that is not remotely true. Companies don't even give you pensions, and the few companies that do matching for retirement programs do like 2% even when I was at Watson Health Imaging the best you could get at non-management level was a 6% match in their investment program. I have no idea what Blind is but at this point I have worked on multiple teams and probably about 100 different devs and have talked salary and compensation with my friends who are dev managers in our down time about their pay structures at their companies and I can assure $500K USD is not common, and $300K TC USD for a 1st time position is practically not a thing. I don't think you realize just how many people in the US are software developers...

@@BlueScreenCorp I too have been working in the industry for over a decade and my first job was already ballpark of what Matt was quoting. Given they were talking about FAANG though, the $500k TC figure is extremely average for tech when SWE listings at Netflix have a listed pay range of $300-900k base pay. RSU grants alone would be more than the $104k average you quoted. Also I completely agree with Matt’s assessment that the pay doesn’t justify the contribution to society but hey I got bills to pay 🙃

So true 😂

Yea that was someone falling to do their job. Food safety should have cleaned that off the line, and it shouldn't have made it through the bagmaker machine. So atleast 2 automatic safety measures falled as well.

No, in 2023/2024 100% of people think ANYONE not agreeing with their point of view is a bot. People absolutely refuse to believe that there are multiple points of commentary, and anything but theirs is a bot

I got one too, a marble sized chunk of nacho cheese goo.

Wow these bots are really sophisticated since the entire internet is bots besides me

I know it’s from a company that was pitched on shark tank. I kind of remember the name being pretty spot on like big hats or big lids or something along those lines but I could just be misremembering.

It was called like a dragon in japan so I don't think that tracks

Also, even back then on the back of the game box, didn't it state that the game was not for resale or lending.

Actually, it's because a lot of these games are arcade ports. And to get the kids to put more money into these arcade machines the games were hard as nails, so that the kids would die often in game and needed to buy more continues.

Because when the FAANG acronym was created it was used to talk about hot tech stocks, and Microsoft stock was considered to be a boring old asset that didn't do much

to be fair, we have no idea what kind of "salary" most content creators make, a lot of them also rely on Patreon, so at least some people think they deserve the money

I wonder what austin makes a year ..love em both but theyre hardly contributing to society to be critical of others

Because the intro said SEEEEEGA, not Sega.

nah bro ..its 6 mil nowadays

and he's not far off 😂 top 2 maybe

This is NOT true and I am really angry.

Matt says what he wants too already. (Shout-out to those sped-up clips when he goes on a tangent) If it doesn't seem like he's talking a lot it's because he doesn't have anything to say.

@@Manksii I am talking about the sped up parts. I would like to hear what is on his mind.

You guys write code though and a bunch of you are simple code-crunchers.

Actually I think A.i. created DARPA as a diversion.

And how many games were made targeting the US rental market do you think? I know there was a few, but most games were just hard. But like, any Mario game can easily be beaten in one sitting as long as you know what you're doing.

You finish the episodes, right? You know that AJ debunks them? He has also made a video where he says that what he covers is BS. Well, at least until the two latest episodes.

That's kinda the point of a conspiracy. You don't know if it's true or not.

​@@MikeCarteOr rather the theory part means that.

I had to look it up but yeah, it's just general degradation of society.

Or, and bear with me here, I know this may be difficult for you to comprehend, people find different things funny? I don't know. Just an idea.
