I wonder if they would reuse the scraps similar to how Lego reuses defective bricks
Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.
Trying to post and comment often in an effort to add to Lemmy’s growth.

Maybe it has to do with how the card is setup. For example if the phone believes it’s a portable device versus something for internal storage it might not provide the option in case someone encrypts the card not realizing they will need decryption software on other devices they want to use it on.
I believe they are sold in the same size box as any other soap so I don’t think transportation would really matter.
Yeah. “Dairy products” and ice cream is an example I feel like more people are aware of.
That was what I was getting at. From what I’ve read online Dove’s use of synthetic detergent and claims of moisturizing are reasons why it can’t be labelled as soap under the FDA
Thanks for the reply.
Why isn’t more soap oval? Economics. It’s far more expensive to mold mass-market soap in round shapes. It’s dramatically cheaper to make it square.
Would it really be that expensive?
From my understanding soap is usually pushed into some kind of oval plate to be trimmed before being pushed again into a press that shapes and stamps it simultaneously. If a company already needed a custom mold for a stamped label would the shape make much of a difference? Other than that I think the only alteration would be the plate the soap is pushed through. At a large scale the expenses related to not being able to use more common parts might add up I guess.
This does make me wonder how diverse large scale soap manufacturing equipment is. Maybe there is an industry-standard bar of soap and I’ve never noticed how similar different bars of soap are in shape to each other.
I feel like that has to be pretty hard with how corporate pretty much every “AAA” game publisher is. So many are subsidiaries of subsidiaries and the parent company wouldn’t hesitate to push them to the curb.
They might also be worried about getting into a Duke Nukem Forever situation where they end up endlessly in development. They would end up having to fix issues while also keeping up with gaming trends.
Didn’t CD Projekt Red have a couple other bad releases?
I’ve read Witcher 3 had some pretty nasty bugs on release for example but it did seem like Cyberpunk 2077 was order of magnitude worse.
I thought there was another game released by CD Projekt Red that had some major issues on release but I don’t have the time to dig for articles about it.
I wonder if they will ever release a definitive edition of The Sims 3 or 4. Even with a 90% discount the number of DLCs keep complete versions of the game rather expensive.
Tangentially related but I was browsing the list of Steam curators and I was surprised by how many of them are dedicated to discouraging people from buying games from specific countries.
I agree it would be more honest but I’m wondering how the early access label would effect their sales.
Games like Project Zomboid and 7 Days To Die got a decent amount of attention from sites like YouTube but I’m wondering how many people stick around for the trickle of updates or will care when the game transition into a full release.
This is setting aside ethics obviously.
That’s how I ended up with so many games in my backlog
Are you looking for a percentage amount or a dollar amount? Which would seem more appealing?
Fair enough. It is a lot more niche but it still becomes quite distracting.
It reminds me a bit of Garmin acquiring Pebble and discontinuing support. This does sound significantly worse though
OP is expecting the deletion of posts and comments to federate in the same ways posting them would. I don’t think they’re necessarily going scorched earth and care about someone quoting their comment in a reply or resharing a photo.
I think that’s a bit grandiose of a stance. If I misread what someone said or realized someone already said what I did I don’t think deleting it leads to any kind of growth.
That’s setting aside how draining it can be to reply to several people who are making the same argument about how you are wrong. If I couldn’t delete what I posted at that point I would just be creating a slew of edits to justify myself like people regularly do on Reddit whenever they get downvoted.
But that’s not what is being talked about. I don’t think OP is expecting an all or nothing situation. You’re talking like you’ve never deleted anything online
But deleting stuff is an easy way to limit the amount of potential viewers.
Most people aren’t going to put in the effort. If OP’s account deletion spreads across most of Lemmy, even just the larger instances, most people aren’t going to see their older posts.
That seems to be what OP is after. More in line with hiding poorly written Doctor Who fan fiction than hiding from the government in the woods.
Reminds me a bit of DamonPS2 possibly stealing the PCSX2’s team’s code
It feels a bit like Ali Express pricing with games being listed as $100 but being discounted year round for 50% off to give consumers the illusion of getting a deal.
It also seems like a lot of titles don’t go down in price as they age as often as they used to.
