Release history
gollark: I've seen something like that with a hedgehog.
gollark: A technique which may be efficacious is to give each item a "desirability score" out of, shall I perhaps say, 100, and to compute the quotient of the price divided by said "desirability score", in order to calculate which products will most effectively satiate your desire for gaming.
gollark: It is my belief that one should evaluate the desirability of products based merely on the absolute price at the time of possible purchase, and not, as it were, based on the difference in comparison to commonly held prices of that same good or service.
