Science and expert opinion should be respected, “your own research” is usually worthless, Black Lives Matter, Taiwan is a country, Love is Love, and Trans Rights are Human Rights.
No nazis or tankies, thanks.
Honestly felt it was pretty doable so long as you suited your tactics to the situation. This means you also have to build the skill of sizing up an encounter and selecting the right tool for it.
My problem with it was the thing that spit clocks. Took me forever to troubleshoot that issue and it was a hard crash to desktop type situation. Why that would be allowed to persist years after release is beyond me.
They can’t man, it’s the only thing keeping out the vampires.
If you’ve got a better idea for what to do with pension contributions we’re all ears.
I’m feeling stupid this morning, what were they doing with the thumbnail?
Aren’t most farms corporate operations now?

Here’s the bit that chills me:
Representatives from the Kremlin, the Russian defense ministry, and the Russian embassy to the United States did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the issue.
If they’re not denying it immediately that says they think there’s some utility in not doing so.
[Insert lengthy, nigh incomprehensible diatribe on why, well acthually, Qatar isn’t practicing slavery in the very specific and coincidentally convenient meaning of the word I invented 5 minutes ago]
[Insert picture of pig shitting on itself]
[Insert insult and throwaway line about CIA propaganda]
There, I think that covers the bases for the thread, don’t you?
Okay but Obama with Spike Spiegel’s hair though.
Aren’t all hands meat hands?
In Japan. One of the least religious nations on earth.
Luckily nobody said there were zero well design AAA games, only that I don’t much care if the big studios eat each other. You can always make another studio. It’s happened before, it’ll happen again. This isn’t like car manufacturing where startups face overwhelming costs and regulatory burdens to begin work. Get some capital, hire some good devs, come up with a thoughtful concept, and people will pay for it. Shit, they’ll pay for virtual goods with no expectation of seeing a finished game (coughStarCitizencough).
but there are experiences that cannot be replicated in the indie sphere at the moment
The key phrase there being “at the moment.” And frankly the reverse is a lot more true for more enduring reasons. AAA development is entirely too invested in graphical fidelity at the expense of everything else and entirely too beholden to shareholders to take meaningful risks.
I do not give one tiny, insignificant shit what corpo entertainment goons do to each other or what hats they wear and neither should you. Blizzard as you knew it has been dead for years. This acquisition means nothing. The people that made the Blizzard you knew great can make their own company and probably will if they’re still working. Stop caring about companies and start caring about the human beings that make good games. Remember their names, look at who they work for.
Game dev has to grow up just like Film did and you can expect the same market driven patterns to emerge. Indies take risks, the big boys iterate on the formulas they establish, and occasionally they stumble into something legitimately good. So it goes.
But for every big budget film that’s good, you’ll have a dozen Michael Bay style 'splosion and lens flare fests. That’s the expected pattern.
Do people still like the shambling husk that is Blizzard at this point? I’ve been playing their games since Rock N’ Roll Racing and they’re not even close to the same company anymore.
Let them eat each other. I’ll be over here playing indie games with actual depth, real care, still getting updates for free years down the line.
It’s quite easy to read that as “all of Israel” without the qualifiers, and I’ve seen many people on here saying just that, so please pardon the confusion.
I think the distinction is important though, and it’s why I tend to say “fuck the CCP” and not “fuck China.”
I have no beef with Chinese people, but a lot with the CCP.
It’s for sure gonna get uglier. I’m told Bibi has implemented a bunch of anti-democratic shit to rig things his way but I don’t know enough about Israeli internal politics to say for certain if that’s the case. Him and Trump seemed to think alike in that regard. (To the extent Orange Julius thinks anyway.)
Israel is not the Likud Party or Netanyahu just like Hamas is not the Palestinian people.
Why would home gardeners optimize for yield and cost effectiveness? They can’t deploy automation or economies of scale.
You garden at home because you enjoy the flavor, freshness, and variety. Those are the perks. Miss me with those mealy, flavorless grocery store tomatoes.
