that the moment a physical book is published and sold through it immediately becomes “not available for sale”

Because that specific book now has a new owner who can keep it or sell it as they see fit. Like people still do with physical games.

If you mean that a book becomes generally unavailable when it’s between printings, though, you’re wrong.

Publishers overlap print runs and begin selling the first paperbacks before they’ve sold out the initial hard cover prints PRECISELY to avoid the situation you seem to think happens with every single book.

My all time favorite “Stig Fact” from Top Gear is

“They say that he knows only two things about ducks…and both of them are wrong”

Which would arguably qualify as knowing less than nothing about ducks 😁

I had a roast cooling off, and this was the only way to keep her and her sister away from it.

Of course, that just makes it much MORE outrageous from her perspective 😄

Judging by the video, she’ll be behaving more like a witcher, with the two swords, the signs, and the potion quaffing. If they hold to that and also let her keep her “short teleport” move from TW3, I’m looking forward to it 🙂

Yeah, I’d have preferred making my own character too but, failing that, a great character that’s already established in the series and has been a lot of fun playing as so far ain’t bad either!

Besides, they’ve already established some of her signature abilities and had people play as her in some of the previous game, kicking the familiarity up an extra notch.

Yay! Thanks for the tip!

They tried a hydrogen one first, but it just wasn’t practical…

…does this one actually work on Lemmy or?

And here I thought it’s just a hand stand by someone with a speech impediment!

Fits of jealousy.

Unfortunately, Steve’s data is wholly anecdotal. He’s killed 8 of the 10 women he’s ever met, see…
