Games (video, computer and mobile) are something people would hate to give up. According to Newzoo, Gaming will hit $91.5 billion this year. How much would it take for you give up your favorite game for an entire year?

Leading mobile casino, LeoVegas.com, conducted an independent survey to investigate how much people would have to be paid in order to give up some of their most prized possessions.
mobile phone : Over a third (34%) of Brits say they wouldn’t give up their mobile phone for a year for anything less than ￡50,000
lovers: over 33% of Brits said they'd agree to give up their loved one less than ￡50,000. Of that 33 per cent, 14 per cent said it would take just ￡500 to dump their partner for 365 days, with no guarantee of getting them back after being spurned.
pets: pets are amongst the most precious possessions, with nearly 1 in 4 of British adults (24 per cent) saying they couldn’t go without seeing their furry friend for a year unless they were paid at least ￡500,000.
games: Over 1 in 5 of us (21%) would have to be paid over ￡50,000 to go without them for a year.

I mean, I'm not a gaming addict. I'd take any money that a person would give me. Give up ME2 for a year? $10? Hell yes, I now have $10 more than I had before. Time to go visit /r/outside or something like that.

I dont know what my favorite game is. I dont play many games, I usually play them on bulk. Pick one game, play it for a couple of weeks until I did absolutely everything with it, and then move on.
How much money it would take for me to not play for a year? Hard to say, probably not too much, but on the other hand, I probably wouldnt agree to a deal like that out of principles.

I feel like if you put a million dollars in front of someone and said it would be theirs in a year if they could just stop WoW for a bit, I think the numbers would be nearer 100% or so.

I suppose my favorite game is DotA 2 now but I have so little time to even play that ... Yeah I'd take the money. Put it to good use; buy a house, invest some, and continue life.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
