Am I the only one worried about it scratching my eyes???

I was working in the industry at the time and people absolutely talked about the implications of microtransactions and how it would result in more expensive games and being nickel and dimed.

Like, I distinctly remember conversations with actual human beings from exactly the horse armor DLC and maybe we didn't think it was going to result in, say the online shooter battle pass formula exactly, but we without ambiguity understood that meaningful in game items, and things like levels / experience would be monetized.

The biggest shocks to me were how patches would be used to reduce the game testing cycles, enabling companies to print incomplete or broken versions of games, requiring day one patches.

It's a disgusting practice now, and it was then too.

Yes, that's the implication, and it's certainly intentional for you to think of it like that.

There is essentially no way to enforce, or even monitor this, like it's fundamentally impossible without controlling everything from stl creation, to weapon construction.

I low key love it. It's unconventional, but it's not hard to read

I watched with no sound and from pure behavior I'm certain he is aware it's there and is likely involved

It was changed. It had a EULA, but that didn't include the requirement for a PSN account

Even worse! You can't even have a PSN account everywhere you can have a Steam account with this game

Attitudes about gays and transgenders actually got worse coming from the 1960s into the 1980s. The sexual revolution actually created a generation far more open and accepting, and the culture that lead to things like the Satanic panic, war on drugs, and resurgence of patriotism and religiosity in the United States actually made things worse for gay and trans.

I literally remember when sites like Reddit, Amazon, and even Google went down. We're so used to crazy uptimes that it's easy to forget that real servers and infrastructure have real problems.

It shows a bias to monotheistic religions. I don't understand how that's justifiably neutral enough.

I think of this as being straight up horrifying. This isn't exciting, this is going to be dystopian nightmare fuel. It's not hard to imagine this being imbedded into human beings against their will too, like prisoners in the US.

I would rather be a Borg, at least they were motivated by a collective good will to move to perfection, not puppets of a dying capitalist state and it's related ideology.

Sorry for the poor title, but even when people talk about climate change, and know it's hotter for them, people don't actually seem to talk about the impact on the rest of the biosphere.

I can't tell if it's not thought about, or just not discussed as much because it is not 'relevant' to their lives.

I can barely function outside for a few minutes without being drenched in sweat, and some of it is probably poor health and not being used to it, but I can tell sl with certainty that I can't survive outside in this heat, and I'm living as a result of a trick or technology.

The animals though? Some of them are straight up fubbernucked. There will be mass animals die offs and people won't even notice.
