But Pete got a national guard participation trophy promotion to major while he was on IRR (how in the Duh F*ck does that even happen!)

My favorite thing about ChatGPT and all the other AI slop generators is that they’re all marketed the same way those crappy mobile games are, first time is free and then every time after that you need to spend the money. Bubble can’t burst soon enough.

Physical wholesale distributors hit you even hard at ~50% but they usually warehouse and ship to stores assuming the books sell. This is just a new option on DT that costs nothing more than the fee rate they are already charge per sale.

But you’re already selling on drive-thru so you’re already getting hit with a 35% fee on digital sales, this isn’t an additional fee it’s just allowing you a different avenue to sell physical copies.

If you’re already selling on drive-thru it cost you nothing because you’re already paying the 30 to 35% charge for the sale of digital items and this isn’t an additional charge it’s just providing you with a “store front” to sell physical copies.

That’s great if you’re printing large quantities but if you’re a small press dealing with dozens or very low hundreds of copies is it really gonna be cheaper

You’re out of your mind. Average apartment rent increases have slowed drastically since 2000. From the 60s to the 70s it doubled and it quadrupled in the 80s and quadrupled again in the early 2000.

I’m not sure I see the downsides to this, most of the small publishers who are going to take advantage of this are folks who are not already working with distributors of physical products. Seems to me to be another “itch is better cause reasons” argument going on here.

It’s hilarious to me that you think there are religious nuts running around places like Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Omaha, or Sioux Falls. Lots of large affordable and blue cities in the Midwest.

But then the trump family will have to share and we all know how they feel about that.

Wish I still lived in Colorado so I could vote for you, keep doing the good work in Congress!

I just realized that we could make the Warhammer even more more accurate to the tomahawk because now we have grenade launchers and then the old rules we didn’t. Macross Tomahawk load out:2xPPC, 2x rckt15, 1xsrm6, 4xMG, 2x GL, 2x smlas, 2xflamer. Oh and jump jets…

If it’s too expensive where you live, I can almost guarantee that another city has the job you’re in paying similar wages with cheap housing. You just don’t want to live anywhere in the Midwest or the south because it’s not trendy. Trust me I know I absolutely hate where I live but housing is cheap.

That’s true. It really depends on your GM/table/play style. But I think Games that try to mechanically force balance never succeed and just make it overly complicated. Look at how complex war game balancing is, I just chuckled to myself anytime someone says we can successfully do that in an RPG.

You could leave the MGs and drop two heat sinks to get to the same place, but if we wanted to make it really accurate to Macross/Robotech accurate we just strip it down to four points of armor in every location, that way every time a marauder looks at it funny it explodes!

Then why didn’t you buy a place somewhere else that’s ridiculous and the fact that people keep paying that for homes is why the rates keep going up.
