I haven't even played it, and I know it should be Balatro. That game has taken the gaming world by STORM.

Makes you really appreciate how valuable plants and photosynthesis are, to our ecosystem.

A backpack that MIGHT have belonged to the suspect, even.

He alluded to it in the first video, and I think it's spot on.

They ended up with an "inventory problem". Which is to say, some business major in the company somewhere, or a consultant or whatever saw that they were spending money to store it all, and said "A company's assets should never cost money, they should MAKE money" or some such business speak. Ultimately that translated into every layer of the business being instructed to prioritize using that that old inventory, somehow, or pushing it to customers.

"People don't really want to buy all this older hardware off of us, but we can convince people who don't know any better to rent it."

"We don't have enough 4090s to keep up with demand for these high-end rentals, but we're sure as hell not buying more when we have all these perfectly-good 4080s lying around."

Noted! I addressed it a liiiiiiitle bit here, but yeah, I'll give it some special attention.

In some states in the US, yes.

It was definitely intended as a joke, originally, but when this meme was first made a few years ago, there were quite a few people sharing it as entirely serious and true.

Honorable mention fir Outer Wilds, cause taking notes and keeping track of things you learn is critical to the gameplay, but the game actually provides an excellent UI already it already.

Also, Elden Ring and other FromSoft games are a contender, cause when you meet a random NPC that says like 3 lines of dialog and doesn't repeat them, you're gonna have trouble remembering any of that 20 hours later when yoy meet them again.

Love detailed shit like this.

Pretty much my feelings. I won't celebrate violence and death, but I'm not gonna pretend that the world isn't a LOT better off without him. Or that there's some really funny takes floating around out there.

I know that's probably an overly-simplistic attitude, but that is exactly where my brain goes, yeah.

My wife and I have one set of shared bank accounts (checking, bills, savings), and that's it. Ever since we got married. She had her own account for like a year or so after we got married, but she didn't use it, we were just too lazy to close it for a while. We swapped over her paycheque early on.

I dunno, man, we seem to be an outlier, cause the idea of maintaining separate finances as a married couple just seems so... alien, to me. It quite literally never occurred to either of us, as an option.

Downsides include that you can't really keep secrets. For example, I know how much she spent on me for Christmas, and where from, she's just not gonna give me the receipt until next year.

And yeah, if we ever divorced, that'd probably be a problem. 12 years in, I don't think that's happening.

Anyway, if keeping separate finances doesn't seem weird to you, I don't see much downside. As long as you CAN agree on who should be responsible for what, seems entirely manageable to me. Biggest upside for joining up, I would think, is less legal work for you each to get access the other's assets, in the event of a death or similar event.
