Well I did say “for same reason lots” XD so yeah, basically.
Then sales reps can rope in new people with “It’s industry standard! It’s easy to hire people who know this!”

Well for the same reason lots of not great software is used.
It was once the best (or only) in the market, and now it’d cost literally millions of dollars to change in training/conversion/hardware changes. As long as we keep above the “We cause less damage than a change costs” folks stay.
Heh, yeah but my metrics don’t care about how many trucks I roll! Just how long my calls are! “Modem restart didn’t work? Truck will be on its way.” “Modem restart didn’t work? Truck will be on its way.” X100
100 calls an hour BABY.
sigh
So I work for a large enterprise type software with a database. And because our installer is trash, we don’t trust clients to do it. It’s very common for the installer to error out with SQL error messages and we have to go fix things in the database. Think stupid things like if a value is null in one field, installer crashes.
So they call in, get paperwork for a test upgrade (we require they upgrade a test database first), then after they email that paperwork and it’s approved by management, the call to schedule the test appointment happens. Then 3 days before the actual appointment, we can call them and transfer via Bomgar the files they need. Because we don’t wanna give them the needed files early for… reasons never explained properly to me.
Then the actual install/upgrade call happens.
Then we do it all over again for the live.
Welcome to corporate policy that’s been building over 20 years, and never cut back. Things get added to the install process, never removed.
There’s always next weeks call deflection meeting for me to try again!
I haven’t been uninvited from it yet! But yeah gotta love these “problem solving” meetings from management, where they don’t actually want to give any resources or allow any policy changes to come from them.
Every mc pvp server I looked at had wonderful “Supporter packs”
Brain says bad. Because I’ll be there, working on trying to get a new shiny ship and then the brain is like… “You make 40$ an hour overtime. That’s a lot more ship than doing this.” or "instead of checking in on your skill queue every day for two years to make sure it’s optimal $300 worth of plex and you have your dream toon. "
And yeah… I know myself. I need to avoid games that make that lil voice pop up.
My brain is like “I played that game just like… last year right?”
Nah bro, you played that in high school, which was most certainly not last year.
I mean… in eve you were allowed to straight up buy perfect characters or skill injectors, then the isk to buy a ship. So you could have a newbie with the same character power as a 3 year old player.
My brain does not like grinding games with strong P2W aspects, it messes with me.
I see gold is for sale in the shop, is store bought gold a big influence in the game? Or pretty irrelevant?
Anything really!
Also it annoys me because swords and bows are THE most difficult weapons to learn from the medieval ages. We have legends about master bowmen and swordsmen because they were notoriously difficult to use.
You can look up videos of reenactors of people using spears vs. swords, and people who have never touched a spear in their life can beat people who have been using swords for reenactments for years.
To use longbows effectively was a life long commitment.
Crossbows didn’t have more power than longbows, they were popular because it took 20 minutes to teach a strong peasant how to fire, and a few weeks to get them firing at the proper cadence to be effective. Being effective with a bow took far longer.
The book is a parody of itself.
I dare you to find a part that isn’t near gibberish!
Dang it, I feel like this could be a really stupid study. Do this to hundreds of people and record the average response.
Except… if you said you were throwing paper, they would think you were trying to bait them into going scissors so you could go rock.
So wouldn’t they themselves go paper? Why would they go rock?
Sooo how many chemicals are one or two molecules from being deadly with exposure to just a few millileters?
I’m guessing just… a lot.
“Huh, I wonder who that beeping was for”
Uhh what do I do with the burnt remains of something I put in there earlier and didn’t take out before pre heating?
Baby sitting my mom’s dog and that’s my cat! He wants that spot.
I feel like they could be the main characters in a dozen different movies.
Buddy cop film where old style cop has to team up with young tech assassin.
Average man tries to solve a murder while being hunted by a cyborg
Young group of hackers led by this woman is being hunted by corrupt police as they try to expose the government.
Like either one of them could be the protagonist or antagonist of any number of movies depending on the genre, or team up for a clash of styles type think.
