    Ok, other guy got downvoted for this very same thought, but really, $250 a day seems like kinda a lot. I guess it you count taxes, maybe? Or maybe savings? Its weirdly too low for hyperbole but too high to sound right.

    My expenses with a morgage in a major city, utils, gas, daycare, transportation, insurance, food for four, and a little to savings… and even I don’t think we hit $250/day. Even without doing the math, that’s $7500 every 30 days, we definitely don’t make that much even before taxes.

    Oh wait, now I see, I spend jack shit on entertainment. A perk of being addicted to playing 20 year old games on emulators, I guess. If I had normal hobbies, yeah ok I can see how that’d probably be around $250 a day on average.

    Tl;dr, moral of my thought experiment, pirate the mother loving shit out of your entertainment. Arr!

      What 20 year-old games would there be to emulate in 2045?! 😉

        You know, at that point it’s not even emulation, just good ol’ abandonware. That, or real patient gamer discounts… which I would make fun of except it took me like 15 years to try and love Portal. Lol
