Your previous posts didn't make much sense either. They have a profit target? A limit on how much money they wish to make? That's absurd.

This isn't exactly aimed at a niche. A niche would be the AV Club, but this has sports emotes for the jocks, dance emotes for the preppies and airguitar for the headbangers. That was pretty much my whole school. A niche would be 8 soccer emotes. If they have any business sense, they're appalled at the poor reception and will do better for future sales. Mark my words.

What? Explain this ceiling. The content is developed. There are no further significant costs associated with this product. All that remains is to make sales and recoup costs and make profit. Overpricing is more unhealthy than underpricing in digital transactions. Increased sales don't require retooling a factory or managing supply chains or hiring sales staff or increased warehouse and sales floor space.

This game has a ton of people that make automatic day 1 purchases of everything this company puts out. People are happy to support this game and the devs. They didn't set out to make something to be unappealing to their biggest fans. Flack is to be expected from the fringe, but getting it from the core is a gross miscalculation.

Once the content is developed, there are no further production costs and no reason to limit sales numbers. Since all transactions are digital from generating the unique code to processing the sale, it costs practically the same to sell one unit as 1 million. They should be seeking a price*sales maximum while also considering generating positive buzz and goodwill among fans. But I'm in chemistry, not business. *shrug*

I wish you the best of luck in taking control of your health. I think these 2 points above are causing much of your trouble. Neither is normal, alone they might not be too unhealthy, but I think that together they might compound each other. If you eat too fast, you can overshoot your calorie target and that's one big target to overshoot. Changing the way you eat could be as difficult as quitting smoking (I did it 3 years ago), but you can do it. You'll have to figure out what works for you, but I suggest starting with Weight Watchers frozen meals or something similar. They should be about 8oz/250g, a very small meal, so you'll get hungry several times a day and not have any leftovers.

You really need better advice than you're going to get here, though. You need a doctor or nutritionist or maybe even a hypnotist! Be open-minded and have some faith in yourself. You can do it.

They're probably her friends and people she's played with, but Funk is trying to burn those bridges before she can build them. She's a member of dUmb's test ladder pvp roster. In fact, Funk's entire team was dUmb, except for their pickup. Loltest and stuff. Nites #1, except dUmb is better and no other test server pvpers are allowed.

Good luck. I do mean it.

Neuronia is the best thing to happen to PvP on Pinnacle since ever. You guys should listen to her instead of imitating whatever pose ExFunk is showing off. The new guys heard that Pinnacle was the real PvP server from somewhere, loltest and stuff. If the vote is tied, how about admittance on a trial basis or give the tie-breaker to the league organizer.

Good luck with the league. Don't let some fool kill it off out of spite.

Legalize it, I always say, but not often in this context. Less rules means less arguing about the rules. Sure, some people would tweak more than others, some might even spend billions on a single "Poor Man's FFA" but would still be more limited than someone with full sets. Single purples could be eliminated by limiting entry to level 49 and under, but that would eliminate a lot of characters that people like to play, so not my favourite idea. I think just instituting a 'no set bonuses' rule would be an easy and cheap way to lower the perceived barriers to being competitive in the arena for people wishing to dabble.

Make it happen or we'll never know how it would go.

I only read the parts in ALL CAPS.

This might not be at all relevant, but my Logitech mouse didn't work properly until I set some of its mouse buttons to 'Generic Button'. Is there a setting in the Microsoft mouse setup that gives the scroll wheel a fancy function? Might be worth a look.

Bio Nukes for +damage (always useful) and +regen (lolempathy)

I'd like to recommend Fallen Earth's 10-day free trial. For an independent developer, they're doing good stuff and the game has a decent mature community. It's a post-apocalyptic setting, very immersive with a great crafting system and seems headed in an interesting direction.

You're off by a factor of 10. I rarely saw more than 30 or so instances of any zone. I'm sure it's still tragic though. Enjoy.

I had a similar problem. At one point, my video settings decided that the max resolution for my monitor was 1024x768, after using it for a year at 1680x1050. I tried several fixes: new drivers, old drivers, exchanging DVI cables and using a DVI-VGA adapter with VGA cable.

I could only get it to work with the adapter and VGA cable. I can live with that. I suspect my monitor, it's a crappy Acer 223wsomething-or-other 23" widescreen that was cheap. It seems that the video card was getting bad data about the monitor over DVI.
