Talibangelical cats. Like Rumtumtugger, Mr. Mistoffelees, and the Nefarious Netanyahu.

Did Russia promise to back them on this thing if they send people in the meat grinder small military operation against Ukraine?

Or is it just that time of the month again?

And that’s job creation right there!

Thanks to Discord, I’m able to keep merchants that “connect overbearing authoritarian entities with the data they shouldn’t have, at a price point we all can agree on” at stable, sub-full time employment status.

Truly, pillar of the economy, er community.

Not meaningless but certainly undercuts the grandstanding.

Soldiers, conscripted or volunteer, aren’t owned as property though. Although I’m sure we’ll have ‘discourse’ about that. They aren’t bought, sold, or traded for goods and services.

Not superhuman, just very simple. I pick what I want most at the moment, especially in a game where I can refund points if my decision wasn’t great.

I had to take another look to see if they’ve shat the tree up worse somehow. But, no, it’s the same. The tree isn’t complicated to read or even that hard to understand. It’s a tree: you start at the base and make decisions at the branches.

Perhaps it’s an extension of people getting paralyzed by decisions, which I don’t experience, but it’s only difficult if you are in the strange position of “knowing enough about the passive tree to know a build/specific passive exists” but also don’t know the tree enough to figure out how to get there.

I’m beginning to think companies are doing this to get people to leave by themselves

Are we eventually gonna get more fusion because billionaires are demanding more energy for their stupid projects?

Sure, knock yourselves out.

Because it sounds like they’d be ditching everything previous fans love about the universe and lore to hit a bunch of buzzwords. There is insane shit from older games that I’m sure will never see the light of day (unless a modder gets inspired) because Bethesda wants to sanitize and mass-marketize the world.

Will Elsweyr explore at all the fact there are effectively different species of Khajiit tied to under what combination of the phases of the dual moons the baby is born? Or will Bethesda just throw some big, gruff, talking tigers and some small, funny, talking house cats around and call it a day after putting in exactly one (1) version of each of those that inverts that mold?

Will the Mane be like this: https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Mane ? Or will he just be a Khajiit in LaCroix-level flavorings of Middle-Eastern adjacent clothing?

Oh good, he felt accountability, finally, after 10 years of getting people to rape someone who trusted him. This is close enough to contrition for this lunatic, so we probably shouldn’t destroy him.

“She did not deserve this.” You don’t get to say that. I’d prefer if he never got to say anything for the short remainder of his natural-born lifespan.

Edit: having read the article in full, I can’t even maintain the absurdist tone I used in the first half. Whoever advised him on his defense should be barred from ever giving advice again because “I filmed the men I let into my home to rape my wife who I drugged without duress so I could prove she was definitely getting raped and wasn’t a party to her rape like some of these other degenerates are trying to claim” is a first-tier shithole of an explanation.

He was also radicalized by an unknown male nurse saying he should rape his wife. Must’ve been a goddamn Jedi because he got turned to rape very easily. This man is utterly reprehensible and I now want to learn French so I can tell him to die in his native language.

Yeah, I’m not mad that they chomped Humankind’s flavor. I see it as an admission that the game had good ideas (if less-than-stellar execution). I’ve just seem rando comments trying to tamp down on claims that there are similarities like their stock portfolio is riding on it.

I’m sure it’s management’s fault but they should be shouting out fellow devs in their breakdowns: “oh, we saw Humankind and thought it’s mechanic was fascinating. But we wanted to adapt it closer to our style and refine some pain points we noticed in our execution.”

What?

I only remember the wave-based, tower defense main mod. What playground mode was there?

There have been a number of voxel shooter that have shipped lowkey since Minecraft that attempted to add block placement to the team v team ticket shooter, e.g. Ace of Spades.

What about Anthem?

Sum this up in 2 sentences. I’m trying to parse this and worry I’m getting the wrong impression.

Wait, kids don’t use the index? How do they find things in the book?

I don’t know about your textbooks and what ages you’re referring to but I remember many of my technical textbooks had citations in the back.

Define “works”?

If you’re a CEO, cutting all your talent, enshittifying your product, and pocketing the difference in new, lower costs vs standard profits might be considered as “working”.

If, 24 months from now, most people aren’t coding, it’ll be because people like him cut jobs to make a quicker buck. Or nickel.
