@packbat Aww, thanks. *blush*
@packbat The Eberron setting tries to do this with D&D, and our group includes two socialist-as-heck artificers who are open-sourcing all their magical learning about that world's equivalent to droid repair and cybernetics. One of them has the explicit goal of destroying the assholes who secured a monopoly on tech manufacture and built war toys... including said artificer!
Also one of our NPC's invented the cameraphone.
I am a market harbinger.
@Owlor @Austin_Dern At least we still have Hilda! ...if more is on the way?

@Austin_Dern @Owlor Lemon toothpaste sounsd _awesome,_ so yeah, we can be harbinger buddies!
I can list so many other casualties of this.The "Harvest Slam" at Denny's (back when Denny's was a common food option for me), Bigg Mixx cereal, chocolate-banana Yoo-Hoo, Infinity Train (and half the other televisions shows I've ever liked)....
I am a market harbinger.
@Owlor Is the word "marketqueer" a thing? We might be marketqueer.

Do you need a license for those pro nouns, but don't want to pay for one?
Don't worry, I've got you covered.

You know, it's hard to read the article at https://news.mit.edu/2015/harbinger-failure-consumers-unpopular-products-1223 whout imagining the writer trying to come up with more ways to insult people who are willing to try things that aren't just same-shit-different-label.
And yes, I am definitely one of these. The moment I start to love an unusual product or a favorite meal on a menu it disappears because of optimizations for market hedgehogs (my new term for folks who ball up and hide from anything novel, apparently the majority).
We made a jam game! Whoa!

@packbat This is nifty!
@fluffy I keep trying to make the waffles of my youth but the only square waffle iron I can find that isn't super-expensive commercial kitchen stuff is the same B&D model I grew up with except these days they make it _way_ less quality so it sucks. *sigh* Someday....
@g1comics The worst parts of my day aren't found in the weird, custom bits so much as the one-size-fits-others software that forces me into coming up with weird custom bits just to operate without losing my damn mind.
@fluffy All of this has big waffle energy and I'm glad it's working for you! :)
@xinjinmeng The Earth says "hello"!
This is exactly why I made decisions but never carry them out, myself.
@Aradia Ugh. Charging extra for FLAC is like charging extra to have one's coffee served in a clean mug.
