They've been inflation proof because consumers lose their shit so hard with every price increase. The price of games is just much more visible and much more conceptually ingrained than with most other products, so every increase hits consumer awareness that much harder.
Prices instead increased in other more indirect ways. Micro-transactions in their many forms are the most obvious case. The price of your "full game" may not have gone up, but then there's a nearly limitless trickle of smaller supplementary purchases adding to the cost.
A huge portion of his wealth IS the Tesla stock. Add onto that the possibility of a margin call if the stock continues to drop and it may actually hurt him.
Granted it's not the same kind of hurt as when real people get financially hurt, he won't be forced to decide which bills don't get paid or risk losing his home, but it would still hurt him.
You gotta wonder what the fuck was going through that idiot's head. If you want to end your career, just resign. You don't actually have to do something like this first.
Good. Since that's the only feedback he notices, then good.
I'm comfortable with saying it fits as deliberate in-setting.
The manholes used are thinner and weaker, but cheaper to make. Night City would be the kind of place that would try to save cash on manhole covers, then if someone caves one in by driving over it, they charge the poor gonk for the replacement with a fine on top.
He will however absolutely nitpick every single thing offered, vastly delay it with checks at the border, and talk about how stingy other countries were and how inferior their offered aid was, while also refusing any federal aid.
Trump voices anger at Putin for comments about Ukraine's Zelenskyy and threatens sanctions on Russia
Pretty basic really. People keep calling him a Russian asset, compromise, a puppet of the Kremlin. So, he'll scream and shout and rattle his plastic saber about how he's totally going to fight Russia for real in an effort to placate the claims that Russia owns him. He won't actually do anything of substance against Russia's interests.
Remember kids, doing crimes is only a crime if you're poor. When you're rich and connected you don't even have to try to hide it!

And if anyone calls them out on it, they're immediately branded as "pedophile sympathizers" if not actual pedophiles themselves. So, not only do they get to be violent monsters, saying that they shouldn't commit horrible violence without any sort of legal oversight (or at all, really) makes YOU the bad guy!
He's absolutely the kind of person who would think the only reason anyone would ever act like they hate him is because they're being paid to do so. He can't imagine anyone not really thinking he's as great as he thinks he is.
Godamnit, swing and a miss. Second time's the charm.
I cannot express how much I hate that that string of words entered my brain.
He was probably given a report, but since it didn't have enough color pictures he just ignored it. Of course that shitstick thinks he's forever blameless so it's obviously anyone else's fault.
They would for sure catch charges. The days of having to do something illegal in order to be convicted are behind us. If the MAGAstappo get their way the only remaining function of the judicial system will be as a cudgel against their enemies.
MAGAstappo. Be a real shame if armed resistance required them to show ID instead of just moving in the shadows.
It's nice to feel seen :3
Republicans would be the first ones to bend the knee to escape the purges.
They were completely fine with screwing everyone else over, fucking up the planet so long as the chief consequences didn't hit until AFTER they died off, but now that their Social Security is on the chopping block they're finally noticing.
Don't assume anything that happens with Tesla stock actually has anything to do with the value of the company. It was WILDLY overvalued for a long time and now it's going to be complete chaos for a lot of obvious reasons. One day it may bounce up considerably only to crash hard the day after.
