I'm a millennial and I've always referred to my partner as such. Boyfriend and girlfriend always seemed so weirdly juvenile, and it's interesting to leave things ambiguous for people who are immediately expecting to categorise you.

"Oh no, who shot them?"

"That's all the time we have."

The US is a parent sitting and watching its problem child beat the shit out of the other children in the playpark. Other concerned parents keep asking the US to do something, to which they shrug and say "kids will be kids, what can you do" while handing their child a knuckleduster.

So... no company is beholden to anything that they say? Is that the gist...?

I kind of hate that this distinctly centre-right version of a labour party is going to consider themselves as given a mandate to fill their centre-right boots, despite the fact that they're only as powerful as they are because of how utterly toxic the Tory party have become. Largely from chasing the same ends that this labour government will likely continue to chase.

Societies that have been created around the concept that your life is worth as much as the value you produce. People are deeply ingrained with the idea that if you aren't part of the production line then you may as well die and get out the way for the next cog.

I have 200 unsaved notes just waiting in the memory guillotine for when something accidentally wipes them. I salute you, Notepad++.

Never let a good crisis go to waste.

Ooo... she is very good, that seems like great news.

If you need $600m to make a genre defining game over the course of decades, maybe it isn't worth it.

How could someone defend this...? They executed this guy and then lied about about what happened multiple times to make it sound like it wasn't just them getting angry and murdering this person.

If they want to be executioners then they should stop pretending and put the black hood on while they work.

It's not perfect or anything, but it feels like a release with very pure intentions and people seem to resonate with that. No micro transactions, no lootboxes, no DRM (not even Steam's is implemented), no release day DLC, fast hotfixing, and maybe with the promise of classic expansion packs. The sort of practices that people want to encourage, packaged with a formidable and generally well put together game.

When bigger, more corporate dev studios come out and give it free marketing by saying how unrealistic it is to make games like it... that's free, excellent publicity.
