Now, would you ever play a school shooter simulator? A torture game?

I actually have played both.

They both sucked, since they focused on shock value over actual gameplay.


But what if those games were actually good? Imagine like at least Skyrim quality or something. Would that change your opinion?

Now obviously you have games like GTA and Elder Scrolls in which you kill people. Killing is seen as a very casual thing in gaming and its been there since basically the 80's through arcade games such as Space Invaders. Now, would you ever play a school shooter simulator? A torture game?

The population was already dropping before the hurricanes, and I heard that a lot of people left the territory after the hurricane and power crisis (which still hasn't been fixed). Unfortunately, the people that left were mostly young, the ones that were supposed to be the future of Puerto Rico. They will now settle in the mainland and may never return to the island. For those that are still there, what is it like? How often do you see young people? Does the island feel less crowded? How is the power situation and other utilities? Do you believe there will be a full recovery within the next five years? What can Puerto Rico do to bring back the young people?

TopicWhat's the point of minimum wage rises?
red_is_ash
01/01/18 11:14:35 PM

People that work minimum wage jobs are either college students or bums. By raising the minimum wage, you are forcing the company to pay employees more, which adds to the cost for the company. This sucks for the company, but what they usually do is get rid of a few people and make the others work more hours. I think automation needs to increase, so I think that for the next 10 years, the government should raise the minimum wage by two dollars every year. No way McDonald's would want to pay $30 an hour by the time the years are up. They would automate. Survival of the fittest.

The whole store property counts as the store, so if the store owns a parking lot, you can stay there. Leaving the store property before the year is up results in instant death. While at the store, you can do anything in the store as long as it is legal (i.e. no killing customers) Everything in the said store is free for you to use, as much as needed. Like a normal store, used stuff will be refilled on a scheduled basis. Which store do you choose?

I mean in the way that Koreans are more into playing the popular games and becoming good in them, like LoL. Japanese games are only played mostly by little kids these days. And Japanese don't do PC gaming, so they are behind in that regard.

Because it's a bit harder to negotiate and read people on a flat screen as opposed to in person. Also it's important to build rapport which could take a few days or several trips whereas just having an hour long meeting here and there won't cut it. I think people just prefer basic human interaction still :\

Current Valuations:

Apple: 888.6B
Google: 731.1B
Microsoft: 654.9B
Amazon: 575.2B
Facebook: 529.8B

As you can see, Apple currently is in the lead, but the other companies could have fast enough of a growth rate to catch up with Apple. Apple has the advantage of needing very little growth to reach the coveted mark, but growth could slow down. Which company will win? Which company will reach $2 Billion?

They were arguably the greatest studio around in the 2000s. They had movies such as WALL-E, The Incredibles, Up, Ratatouille, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc. People like to hate on Cars, but I think the quality of that movie is about the quality of the best pixar films of this decade.

Recently, we had The Good Dinosaur, Brave, Coco, Finding Dory, Cars 3, Monsters University, etc, which are all forgettable. Seems as if their streak has vanished.

India's population is supposed to reach about 1.5 billion by 2030. It will surpass China's population in the early 2020's.

Assuming only 50% of the population is working age by 2030, (It will surely be a higher percentage because India is a much younger country) that's a minimum of 700,000,000 jobs needed for these young people. Where are those jobs gonna come from?
