If these guys got shot mid crime by cops nobody would have bat an eye. These guys are legitimate monsters, there is zero room for doubt of their guilt, and there is zero benefit to society keeping them alive.

I really, really don’t get the character.ai thing at all, but is this really pro-anorexia? I have seen the fat acceptance crowd label anything remotely resembling calorie counting to be pro-eating-disorder

You have a 1 in 2 chance of pulling a cursed arrow the first time.

If you pulled a cursed arrow the first time, the second arrow has a 4 in 9 chance to be cursed. Otherwise, it’s 5 in 9.

Personally I’d have resolved this as a single d10 once, and rerolled a 10 on the second arrow. I haven’t done the math to know if 3d6+1d4 <16 yields the same probability though.

If it’s not malicious software like a bitcoin miner or whatever, yes. If people want to buy shovelware, that’s between them and whoever made it.

Why is it Valve’s job to police game content? That’s a shitty precedent for any platform.

If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. Whether it’s ultraviolent stuff like Postal or Hatred, ww2 games where you can play as literal Nazis, or the opposite side of the spectrum where you have LGBT centric content.

Bear with me, that previous sentence isn’t intended to equate those two things, but the reality is a lot of people find LGBT content objectionable. By putting the publish/not publish decision up to platform owners, you’re setting up a system that getting your game published is according to the political whims of whoever is in charge of that process. Any system you make here can easily be abused.

If you think banned books are dumb the same should apply to games. I for one appreciate knowing that freedom of expression is alive and well on Steam, and if I don’t want to engage with content I find objectionable, I simply don’t. Why is that such a foreign concept?

Nuclear waste, bury in the desert for 10,000 years level take.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved Animal Well, thought it was a stellar and unique metroidvania, but I don’t recall any things that couldn’t have been accomplished with Godot or Unity.

Well, they didn’t do everything right. There was no marketing for this game and no indication that it had even a single differentiating selling point compared to its already-entrenched competition.

What an absolute farce.

This is practically jaywalking compared to the other people in this meme.

Yes, I do. If they’re not or can’t volunteer to be part of the military there are other ways they can contribute to national defense. See: WW2

Sorry but if your country is literally being invaded by hostile forces and your own country’s government didn’t commit some heinous act to invite said invasion (genocide, or retribution for their own invasion), you are a hopeless coward trying to dodge that draft. We’re not talking about fucking Vietnam.

Kinda reductive, no? All it takes for a man to be trans is wearing heels?

Likely intentional. I’m guessing they have a name in mind for either gender but don’t want to reveal it.

I’m a recent MBA grad and I can attest that stuff like this was an important part of the curriculum re: sustainable growth. Cutting corners, focusing on short term profits is always a dead end. When leaders get lazy and don’t drive a culture that is aligned with the company’s mission, values, and obligations, decay is inevitable. The Boeing board of directors is as complicit in all of this as their executives are.

I don’t necessarily believe you have to have deep expertise in a given field to govern a business in said field. Often it’s even an advantage to come in with a fresh set of eyes. But you need to at least RESPECT that field and its experts and be forthright about taking responsibility when you take action intended to eliminate waste. If the only metric you are using is revenue, or operating profit, or whatever, you are creating an organization that is incentivized to maximize those at the expense of other, core-business-critical factors. If you’re making something inconsequential, by all means take those risks and race to the bottom. But when people’s lives are at stake, you need to have reverence for what your business actually does.

That ‘divisiveness’ got us an actually electable candidate so fuck off with this revisionist bullshit. Biden was a dead end that was not worth going all-in for, especially faced with the threat of a second Trump term.

I doubt it brought in 46m worth of revenue to the state though.

Recently picked up Wyrmspan and it’s pretty much a unilateral upgrade over Wingspan. Hope they do it digitally at some point
