He/they,
I honestly don't care what people call me and I don't mind either way so if I have no preference why would I restrict someone else's preference if they want to refer to me a certain way

Gamers are a fucking weird bunch. insist on a PC over a console because it's more flexible and capable. Then they lock themselves into a single ecosystem. If you're going to limit yourself to just steam, then get a console. It does everything steam does but better

Great thread! Thank you. The way I've always thought about it is whiteness is what's left when your culture and history has been washed away

The Roman empire and it's predecessors were a wild bunch and it will take hundreds, if not thousands, if ever, of years to undo what they did

I live in NZ, and I am of Welsh heritage. It's a frequent topic with my Maori whanau that my people were colonized too. Our language was obliterated, our culture was destroyed. Whiteness for me is synonymous with colonialism and imperialism, regardless of who perpetrates it or who the victim is

Same way you do for YouTube or Spotify. Get a small fee every time someone plays your game. It would be terrible for small scale developers

"socialism doesn't work because people are greedy. Therefore we should deregulate everything and let people behave however they want"

Maybe you could do something with Bloodborne or Sekiro because the visual aesthetics are so defined and unique, also each of them has the most parsable narrative, but still essentially an impossible task

It lets kids play!
So many "kids" games don't get this. My kids love games that let them play. They don't care about conquering an arbitrary set of obstacles (looking at you Kirby and Yoshi games). They want to play. Experiment, have fun. Zelda and Mario get this. Roblox and fortnite get this.

Skepticism states everything is a valid theory until concretely disproven. Skepticism is the basis for the modern scientific method. Ergo, science states that the moon might indeed fuck until we have definitive proof that it does not.
That's a win for science and the moon in my book

As someone who has not only had an illegal dismissal, but also multiple reduncies, grief from job loss can have some severe impacts on your mental health
I'm sorry y'all are going through this.

Best description I've heard so far comes from Vinny Caravella,
"Blue Prince is a a 10 hour adventure game stretched across a 30 hour rogue lite. And to be honest I'd rather play either of those instead"
Cool concept, but doesn't quite hit for me.

I've always thought it differently. It's taking different genres and applying a grand tactics overlay to them. CK3 is an RPG, Stellaris is a 4x strategy game, Victoria is management sim etc. I like your approach too though.

It's called "parental driving". Actively trying to punish people who "misbehave" instead of being safe. This is someone who notices someone doing something unsafe and then intentionally prevents themselves from taking action with the goal of creating a scenario where the other person is "at fault"

He's not even a Pakeha. Dont give him that. Not from here and as far as I know never been here. Understands nothing of our culture, rangatiratanga or kawanatanga.

Probably because many men don't believe a woman could achieve something they couldn't unless they had the help of a man to do it. It's a truly unhinged way to look at the world.

I don't even know how you would adapt it. TLoU2 was such a narratively dissonant bit of work compared to its predecessor and was largely carried by its technical prowess. I don't see a world where S2 would ever work unless they veered heavily from the source material

Yes, it can definitely be dangerous, but typically commute biking is early in the morning and late in the afternoon. And these temps (unless your tropical or subtropical) only occur for a fraction of the year. We're talking 2-3 months tops of weather not suitable. Biking 50% is better than 0%

I don't know what any of this means and I don't care to learn. I'm assuming you gave me meta tips immediately after I just said I don't care what's meta I pick what fits my RP at the time or what feels the most fub

This is how I CK3. I don't care if a billion stacks of armored footman (or some other crap) is best. I want variety and fun. My bad ass lady liked riding horses so everyone rides horses!

North American indigenous peoples built an entire economy based on abundance instead of scarcity! Imagine that! Let's value and use what is plentiful instead of what is rare.

There's a reason Canada has so many video game studios. Population just shy of the state of California and home to hundreds of game studios including multiple Ubisoft and EA studios. There are some huge mega hitters in here and some unbelievable indie darlings

That people not only travelled across the Pacific ocean in canoes, but then we're able to do it consistently enough to do repeat journeys and hit an island smaller than most modern cities is crazy to me. It's like throwing a dart 100m and hitting the bullseye

Imagine what it's like having MULTIPLE degrees in politics and political theory. It's a fucking nightmare. Everyone is an expert because they listened to a podcast or read an NYT article once. Dunning Kruger spike so fucking high it would give Decartes vertigo.

Have you considered second dishwasher? One clean and one dirty. You pull from one dishwasher, utilize and the post into the other. As long as you negotiate your dishwasher contracts successfully it should significantly reduce toil.

It's sooo much harder to make things with big teams. Like crazy harder. Easiest software gig of my career was a team of 6. Absolute breeze. The teams to one to two hundred are unbelievably hard to work in and get almost anything done.

If you want to go for a wild ride just pick your favourite year of video games and go back and listen to their game of the year episodes from that year. You won't ever forget the 2+ hours of what's the better DLC, shadow broker or Minerva's den
