I prefer Fate's system:
When you don't like your roll, you can either reroll or take a flat bonus. Because Fate is a dice pool instead of flat-probability-1d20, if you do take the reroll to make up for an atrocious roll, you're less likely to get another atrocious roll. Usually you just need the little bump to make a difference.

There's this consistent line through modern history: right wing ideas are bad. It keeps happening. Right wing politicians have power, they do stuff, and it goes badly for most people. And then, somehow, few people learn, not enough decide "hurting the outgroup isn't worth my own suffering", and they get elected again.
Don’t blame the tool, blame the user 😁
I compare it to snapshot tests a lot. They're similarly constrained by "good if used wisely" but most people don't do that. It's easier to use them extensively. That's just how people are. They do the easy thing
This physically hurt my stomach
Paying more money for better results doesn't fit into the world view of many business decision makers.
How do you feel about people who refuse to use ride-share like Uber because it's exploiting labor? I don't want to give them any money because fuck them, but some of my friends say the drivers need money so refusing to use it is only hurting them.
. I don’t know why they weren’t.
I don't know for certain but I have guesses. They probably thought they could make more money from a more closed system. Some middle manager probably had a kpi that benefitted from incompatibility.
Do you use either of them on android? The syncing between android and desktop is nice in vanilla Firefox
The up-front cost of a console is probably cheaper, barring putting some labor in and getting lucky on sales. You're right about that.
A PC has more utility, a larger library, and no subscription fee. That $80/year PsPlus subscription eats into the savings pretty fast. And when your playstation is end-of-life, it's far less useful than an older PC.
I'm sure some PC-building nerds would be happy to help put together a cost effective machine for you, but sadly I'm not that kind of nerd. I splurged on a pre-built machine when I had a nice job.
Can they both fail? Consoles kind of suck. Closed platform owned by mega corps. Their main appeals of "easy" and "cheaper" haven't been true for years.
Microsoft could have done like a ... Steam machine for windows like 25 years ago. Optimized windows install on certified hardware, games that also play on desktop windows. They could've made steam. Except they couldn't because they're a souless corporate husk full of parasitic ghouls.
Fuck em. Fuck them all.
It's not corporate owned. No profit motive to turn things to shit.
