BREAKING NEWS: “Fun” CEO beaten to death with frozen pizzas. The pizzas were delivered warm, so the police suspect premeditated intent in freezing the pizzas for use as a blunt, deadly instrument. The CEO’s customary grave-pissing will start, contingent on finding a suitable ditch.

I think I understand this position, such that you don’t want people focusing on removing the oligarchs without also dismantling the machine that makes them.
But the machine doesn’t have to crush orphans. It gives you a pat on the head and hands you a cookie each time you do crush an orphan but it has other settings. They aren’t getting punished for not exploiting the system, they just don’t get as much of a reward as they could. No one gets to say “I had no choice but to crush that 99th orphan, so I could get that 99th cookie.” You could’ve stopped at 90, or 50, or 1.
They are exploiting a broken machine, to the detriment of others, for their own benefit. That is nothing but greed.

Obviously you hide the gross fungi under a nice silvery façade. You don’t compromise aesthetics in space or all the other stellar societies will laugh at us, and uninvite us from the quasar parties.

I think you might be a bit too optimistic.
Military should not be a business.
It really does ring faintly of a “poor people are dangerous” kind of note.

3·6 days agoWho’s pushing facts? People are expressing doubt at the narrative pushed by an openly mendacious administration.
And what’s the percentage of non-white shooters captured alive? US law enforcement doesn’t expend much effort in bringing non-white suspects in warm. In fact, they seem to prefer it cold.

5·6 days agoIt’s not “hard to believe” per se, it’s just uncharacteristic for how law enforcement in this country tends to work. There are a lot of shootings here for data points, so it’d be interesting to see alive arrest rates for active shooters across all metrics/demographics.

Games•Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)English
21·7 days agoYou are in essence gatekeeping enjoying a video game as a concept. Like people must enjoy them the way you envision.
What an incredibly inaccurate statement. I love modding video games, I spend more time modding video games than I spend playing video games. I understand that the vision developers have doesn’t often align with what I want from their product.
I don’t agree that developers should be spending dev cycles making a game functional for a user that turns off any configuration of gameplay mechanics.
Saying you can just set a variable from “
truetofalse” is so laughably misunderstanding what goes into software development much less game development that it sounds entitled. What gameplay mechanics are you even saying should be configurable? All of them? Just turn off the combat in a fighting game? At what point is a gameplay mechanic integral to the genre/experience? And who is the person or persons that decide?Developers should be free to create what they want, and the end user is free to mod it however they want. That includes, for the devs, not purposefully obfuscating things so that modding is more diffcult.






No, I think they had it the way they meant to.
They hear the name while listening to audiobooks and then see the name written later.
