A thousand or so dead and hundred of thousands displaced.

Over some colonial border shit.

My spouse works for a non-profit that gave 13th month pay for a few years. Then it scaled back to an extra 2 week paycheck. Now they just get 2 weeks paid vacation.

American, if you can believe it.

I immediately caught the Gothic references/influence which I think was actually a bit of a drawback for me. I was able to predict a lot of the mechanics and story, like being able to figure out essentially a frame perfect way to defeat the strong bandits early in the game and then coasted on that loot.

That said I think it had quite a bit more depth than I was expecting and I appreciated that a great deal.

(Also, perfectly reasonable.)

Where’s the step where you frantically search post histories and mod logs to try and frame a sentence out of context? That appears to be a critical step according to my Local feed.

Qinxian made a decision that saved countless lives, much like Arkhipov in the 60s.

The incompetence is staggering.

I don’t see any of this on mobile. Huh.

Oh well, looks like it’s going to be another slog of constant ragebait threads like it was, what, six months ago? Eight?

Good luck and godspeed, Mr. Cardamom.

Zero expectations but they have helped form an actual focus point to organize around. Redacted or not they’re a rallying point.

I don’t really care about game awards but it does seem like some retroactive application of opinion on genAI if they used it in 2022. There was a very different landscape and general opinion on genAI in 2022, (nonone really knew or cared.) I suspect the award show made the rule about genAI after 2022.

Either way, happy to see more press about good games, be it C33 or Blue Prince.

It got him celebrity. That opens doors in ways money doesn’t.

There are definitely treasure troves of interesting things in wikipedia. Asking for more info or context though often risks this kinda thread, unfortunately.

Aside from what has already been said a lot of that history is stuff on the caliber of “Rome invented roads!”.

It made sense during covid as a lifeline to use things like doordash, but it’s really metastasized into a blight on food service.

The pizza and chinese food joints I used to have delivered because it was traditionally the foods that delivered, just use those apps now. So even ordering a pizza is jammed up with inflated prices, hidden fees, and tips for corporate.

It seems lately they’ve at least stopped making a thing about throwing shitfits in communities they don’t control and moderate.

So as far as I am concerned: it’s their mind palace. I wouldn’t take their mod actions seriously or personally.

Nevermind they must’ve seen this thread and my Local feed is now filling with MeanwhileOnGrad posts about users in this thread.

The Zionist technique is just so obvious now.

What is to be done??

The fact the piece of Russia in the European peninsula is also Central Europe makes this look more like an Axis map than anything.

Which makes Romania booting Hungary into the east and claiming parts of Bulgaria all the more relevant.
