I started Katana Zero over the weekend. Really slick. I love the art and music, and the story and gameplay loop reminds me of Hotline Miami.

I've always liked the word Adenosine. Not sure why, just fun to say.
Looking for Group. As someone else said, the ability to click "queue for dungeon", be dropped into an instance with a bunch of random, and proceed to faceroll the dungeon without any thought or patience required.
The fun part of old school MMOs was the journey, not the destination. Modern MMOs have all optimized the journey out by making everything doable without ever being dependent on another player.
I know exactly what you're feeling, and I totally get it. Still, if executed well, I'm at least impressed that they pulled it off. I would have sworn such an experience wasn't possible.
But yeah, I'm not interested in having artificial multiplayer interactions.
As someone who believes LFG was the beginning of the end of MMOs, I can't tell if I despise this or if I'm impressed.
The successful end to the years-long world war that the whole country felt unified behind, and the sudden influx of money away from that war and into disposable income made it very easy for families to flourish in the US.
Advances in healthcare played a part, sure, but not that much in that short of time, and eventually the baby boom faded but the advances continued.
My guess is...
So in other words, the article doesn't mention which rule could be interpreted to ban giving out water.
It's all the same post war boom. It all happened, and is named for the same reason. People didn't suddenly have a lot of babies because they were on hard times. There's nothing to nitpick here.
The 50s were objectively a time of prosperity and entitlement for the US. It's literally why they're called "boomers", it was an economic boom. We had high taxes on the rich, people saw those tax dollars translate into quality public services like highways, corporate competition was high, education was affordable, housing was plentiful. It was undoubtedly the best time to be a while male in US history.
And then capitalism did its efficient best to buy up the govt and begin squeezing all that prosperity into their pockets. And here we are.
And yet it's the first CEO Intel has had in years who is willing to acknowledge reality. Maybe they're finally past their denial stage.

At this point, I don't see how we're not going to have a world war. There's too much teetering on the edge, too many critical resources we're fighting over, and too much money being pumped into every major country's defense budgets. The status quo for politicians and CEOs is to blatantly ignore reality. As the climate crisis gets worse, resources are only going to get more scarce.
