The single dumbest Star Trek premise ever is the fucking Xindi, where five fucking different sentient humanoid races all evolved on the same fucking planet.
You have obviously never played OverWatch. All the loot boxes are cosmetic and do not change the gameplay at all. You cannot buy yourself a faster, strong, better character. You can only make it look different.
As a gamer, I don't mind those kinds of loot boxes. You also sometimes receive them for free in the game (at random, I think?) and the cosmetic items are random, too. The only constant is that there is four items per box.
I think Belgium is pushing things too far and should only ask Blizzard to ban the sale of loot boxes in their country.
I did not miss the sarcasm, but I think this is abusing the code/monotype tag. As AC said above, I see it as "vanity plates" for comments, i.e. "look at me, I'm different!"
Spaces for like-minded people to congregate and discuss specific subjects -- from hobbies to pets and celebrities -- date in one form or another to the platform's earliest days.
It's called online forums and predates Facebook itself by decades.
Apple used to have economy class items. Since Tim Cook took over, all the low-cost items have been dropped and the prices of the remaining items have gone up.

Yeah that's what I was thinking about, actually.
How giant are we talking about? Should I invest in new door locks and reinforced windows?
No it's not. One Dogecoin is still worth exactly one Dogecoin! Now that is an extremely stable coin!
Remember that one Star Trek episode with the holodeck? Oh man, those were the days...
Some of those games are free and make their profits exclusively by selling items.

There's 33 comments and nothing on this, so here I go...
Did the Tower of Pisa see a sexy girl?

That's an excellent idea. The next landing probe will be equipped with two dozens bottles of aerosol.

Give the contract to Hollywood, they have decades of experience with reboots. Coming in 2021: NEONASA.
Slashdot, please disable code/monotype tags.
Did you try OverWatch?
So what? It does not matter if you pick the average or the median, it does not apply to anyone making the decisions at Apple.

Keyboard? I've been using it to cut down christmas trees!
If you think typing on an old MacBook keyboard is like tapping on a table, Apple has horrible news for you!
Even 469$USD, especially for a used phone, is too much.
That's it, I'm sticking to chocolate bars instead of salads.

Derek Zoolander : [meekly] Okay.
In the french media, they call it "sites internet" instead of "sites web" because they're afraid of the big bad english word "web".
Unless "The System" is a brand-new RealDoll, I'll have to pass on your offer.
