Wealth generates income, that income can't sit as cash or it will lose value, so they need to invest.
When the ultra wealthy invest, it's less important to get the best price for an asset than simply getting it. That money needs to be spent. So if there's competition for an asset, they will spend more to get it.
When that happens, the price of the asset goes up. Causing inflation
Those assets ultimately determine the baseline cost of everything else. Can't grow food if you've not got a farm. Farms being more expensive make food more expensive.
This isn't malicious, this is just how it has to be when you have ultra wealthy people. They must invest, they must take property away from everyone else.
The ultra rich are actively pricing us out of living.
Yeah ngl I tried this about a decade ago for shits and giggles
Given I wasn't expecting much, I was pleasantly surprised!
For Americans that aren't getting it, you know how hard shell tacos are good, but taco bell wraps it in a tortilla sometimes for a bit of decadence?
Toast is good, why doesn't it also deserve a jacket from time to time?
OTOH, I have better sandwich fillings than just more bread, so I've never done it since. Might as well make a club sandwich if I'm having that much bread
Oh don't get me wrong, I wasn't saying this was "just quake"
I think it's the same words to describe two different things. Less "taking advantage of weird math for optimal speed" and more "kung fu action movie with guns".
Ah fair play, tbh I saw that list of maneuvers and it was like I'd been warped back 20 years and started watching a hypercam skill video on YouTube with 009 Soundsystem dreamscape in the background.
Well you've definitely got me intrigued anyway, I'll probably pick it up when it's on sale
Quake doesn't have sprint and a lot of those kinds of maneuvers are straight out of shooters like that. Quake players basically invented the wall-run and dive rolling was pretty common in UT99 IIRC too
That description is literally what playing old school arena shooters is like
Yes 100%
