Like, money is good. I like money. And if more money means they can afford to add content to a game that they loved but isn’t making much money...I mean, life isn’t fair. Seems like they chartered a good course.

I don’t understand. I have zero issues with GW, and I haven’t paid dime, and, much like the OP, mostly only play enough to do the daily challenges...basically my commute. I win about 1/3 of my attempts. To me it’s not fun if it is a guarantee.

And yet those war hawks are rather well educated. Knowledge does not imply pacifism; education is not a panacea, nor is violence a universal ill. They are tools, and as tools are often used badly, yes...but it is not necessary to do so.

Helicopter autorotations are surprisingly safe manoeuvres but can only be executed within an air speed-altitude envelope...unfortunately things tend to go wrong with helicopters outside that envelope.

AC 3 had beautiful snow but no one liked the game :(

It’s almost like, when you look deep enough, all humans are deeply flawed. And maybe we should admit that and move forward trying to work it out instead of vengeance seeking and blame-gaming and scapegoating. Nah, I must be drunk.

Well, that escalated quickly.

And the power that HR wields derives from (to a large extent) the will of the owners/board of directors. They enforce “professionalism” because it makes their lives easier. True, the owner that publicly steps away from that image may find themselves on the wrong end of public ire, but that’s what we call being hoisted…

Yes...but do those mean the same thing? If they do...then what is unprofessional about saying it?

And everyone hacking, all the time.

And everyone hacking, all the time.

It may make testing itself easier, but the logistics become a nightmare. Higher personnel, transportation, and facilities costs, to name a few.

And “justice,” as commonly understood, boils down to answering violence with violence.

What we do has terrible consequences, but that doesn’t automatically imply that doing nothing would be any better.

That’s a reasonable, but short-sighted, view. It is similar and related to how both advocates and detractors talk of capitalism and its inherent lack of ethics...which is simply not true: we place value on intangibles all the time. While it’s easy (and not necessarily wrong) to care little about businesses because…

The design is like Binding of Isaac kicked to 11.

I’d be willing to bet that this means no rpg at all...they just serialize all the major set pieces. Midgar, Golden Saucer/Prison, whatever that pyramid was, North Crater, etc.

Yeah, I hated it, but not because it was a depressingly fair look at autocracies and armed rebellion. I hated it because the plot was a stupid shoe-horn of the “hunger games” concept into a book that didn’t need it. The first book was literature. The second two were YA pop fiction.

It...has a pretty good track record, honesty. And as others have said, deterrence via detection is a pretty good multiplier that doesn’t really lead to an increased weapon development from Russia.

They are useless if they are not backed by legal authority. Government disclaimers typically are, as are the usual ones regarding protected personal information if the receiver is not the intended party. Think medical info or a conversation with your lawyer.
