The castle of Fenis was mostly built from the 12-14th century. Because it lost its strategic importance early on, it remained largely unchanged since the 14th century, though some renovations were done in the 19th century to undo damages to the structure.
Yeah, it's way overdue to delete Twitter, but I also know far too many people who cling to it, providing one specious justification or another. I really don't know what still needs to happen in order for left-ish/progressive/queer/... people to finally get off of Twitter.
Incompatibilities between hardware and software caused data corruption. This resulted in hangups and increasingly frequent crashes. It was necessary to download a new gender, which is currently being installed.
I love this game (500 hours played), but I have to bring up a point of criticism...
One aspect which has not aged well IMHO is the "kindness coin" mechanic: The exchange of goods for the NPCs' friendship and/or affection. You give the NPCs stuff, then you give them more stuff, then some more on top, then you get a cut scene and then you get back to giving them stuff until you trigger the next one.
Yes, the requests on the blackboard and the occasional personal quest mix up things a little bit, but overall the mechanic remains the same and for me over the years this has cheapened the interaction with the NPCs for me somewhat: They are mostly transactional and predictable to the point where you can calculate their outcome.
You have to give character A so-and-so many objects X to romance them. It takes so-and-so many days to do that.
Sure, the "kindness coins" mechanic was industry standard at the time, but I wish there were more variety in regards to the interactions with the NPCs, because they are amazingly written and I wish there was more to do with them besides giving them stuff over and over again.
I would prefer to burn Meta/Facebook to the ground too, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't point out Zuckerberg & Co.'s obvious sexism and racism.
They also leave out half of the story: The whole thing already started in October. After months of harassment one of the employees snapped and called their shit out. But they leave that part out, claim they got attacked out of nowhere and play the victims.
It depends, of course. Besides offering community, most unions offer advise and legal support if necessary.
Sidenote: "The tragedy of the commons" is wrong and has been debunked even before the book on it was published. Hardin, the man behind the "Tragedy..." paper was a rabid right-winger who provided a false solution to a non-existing problem, providing cover to all of those who wanted to wholesale reject solutions to known problems without doing any of the legwork themselves.
Yeah, what is anyone supposed to do with Somerton besides calling him out? Ask him politely to please don't plagiarise and scam people anymore?
Half of Hbomberguy's video is about Somerton having been accused of plagiarism for a long time and Somerton just kept doing it. Beside the fact that the very first anecdote about Somerton in the video is about him sending his fans after someone who dared to point out plagiarism, accusing them of doxxing him and sending him threats without any hint of that ever happening.
Somerton had no qualms to resort to harassment if it suited him.
Dog knows social media is a toxic hellhole which thrives on malice and there will always be enough toxic people out there to harass people for whatever reason they can find (and often flimsy pretext), but to insist that the existence of these people precludes exposing wrong-doing, ultimately means that nobody can ever warn anybody else of scammers and grifters like James Somerton.
I argue the opposite: If you get rich, becoming a suspiciously wealthy furry is the only ethical choice: You gain riches, you don't keep them, you give them away to the less-fortunate.
As Mister Gowron used to say: "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for those who seek glory. You will always find people who seek glory.'"
The quality issues of "Rings of Power" aside, for anyone who believes that Tolkien's works don't include moral grayness, there is only one response: Fëanor.
