  • It’s still the platform if you are in the counter strike scene. It’s where all the pros and business insiders are. If you want updates, scoops, if you’re looking for a team or want to learn about tournaments in your area, you have to be on Twitter. It sucks. For me, personally, this just means I don’t follow the Counter-Strike scene anymore :/

    And it’s Danish, too! That might not mean a lot to you, but we’re a small country, so it feels really cool when we get recognized globally.

    I mean, nowadays we’ve made a nice mark on the movie industry, with Mads Mikkelsen, Jamie Lannister, Winding-Refn, and movies about drinking winning Oscars, but that was different 24 years ago.





  • This is incredibly visually pleasing to me. The look of the dice, the fact that they all landed on the same value, the yellow lighting contrasting the blue, is all just scratching every arbitrary itch in my head, as well as reminding me of a cozy evening of playing dice with my grandparents.

    Your lucky throw is now this strangers phone background.



  • Usually t-shirts and hoodies, vinyls, armbands and autographed drum skins are the essentials, I feel like. And then every band has some assorted rotation of merch on top of this, but that’s not universal for every band: beanies, mugs, CDs, keyrings, baseball caps, posters, ashtrays, weed pipes and bongs… These fall into the two categories of merch that caters to the target audience, and merch that is bought in bulk from www.weprintyourcrap.com.

    For what it is worth, CDs are definitely pretty rare, because it’s just an obsolete media. The CD was convenient before phones became even more convenient. Vinyls, on the other hand, are very popular and often occur because they’re decorative and playing them is considered an experience.

    For reference, I mainly go to pop punk/rock/indie/metal shows






  • You just unlocked a memory for me. One of my dad’s friends had a super cool keyboard, I think it was a Casio. It had midi, and a bunch of built in instruments. Then he had another friend, who was a huge geek, who figured out how to extract the midi instruments from the keyboard, so we could use them to replace the cheaper sounding midi instruments in windows.

    Obviously it didn’t sound as good as the keyboard, because it still was dragged behind by inferior hardware on the PC. Not to mention the fact that some of the instruments just didn’t play, and that Windows liked to crash and revert all instruments back to the default if it didn’t like an instrument we tried to feed it, but I still remember it as something really badass.




  • They’re not meant to be used to change prices on the fly. The 10 minute window is literally just so you can fix mistakes like typos, in case it says 179.9 when you meant to put 17.99. Like when a customer comes in, and says “the advertising said this is supposed to be $5 this weekend, but the price tag still says its $8, what gives?” Then you can go to the back, change the price to $5, and it will update all the tags for this item on the fly. There is no limitation stating you need to wait 24 hours or however long you think would be fair. You can also use it to schedule sales that start at a specific time of day, fx food items that are made to be consumed on the same day might get cheaper near closing time.

    Price gouging is still price gouging, and generally, at least where im from, there is a legal obligation that the customer can rely on the listed price at the time they pick up the item. I can’t imagine it’s that much different in the us?
