I’m still at: “The guy who repairs wagons is named Wainwright”

The mod is not banned. The creators have every right to offer it on every possible platform available to them. NexusMod has specifically decided that being a third-party distributor is not a value they agree with. The creator can make the mod. The end user can use the mod, NexusMod has exercised their right to not be…

That depends. It’s entirely possible that both the ending of the last game explains this since they definitely just wrecked causality, or alternatively that they intend to give you a fairly diverse starting set but scaled appropriately for what’s about to happen.

That is where the world must draw the line and punish him…..BUT, shooting another person, leaving them to bleed and bragging about it, that’s cool, that’s fine, more children should emulate her.

...Do you go into your settings and disable them? Do you modify the config files to further disable the ones not listed in the options? Do you patch the shader programs to curb the ones that are on by default past those? The reality is that if you’ve used a computer since the Pentium 4, you’ve *had* bells and whistles…

Yes, games that are typically explicitly tagged more mature and that’s a statement in itself. This is part of the larger conversation about the paradox of us both knowing people walk away with life-changing stories of interacting with games while also insisting that games exist in a moral vacuum with regards to how…

(And a small sidenote here:)

I generally agree with everything you’ve said, but I feel like that makes my point: Bokoblins are hostile to anyone who is not a Bokoblin and the player feels validated to treat them as pure evil because the only interactions they have confirm and validate the messaging we see around them.

All of those statements are true, but also deeply subjective : Every one of those except for “revive during the Blood Moon” are statements that were made (with varying degrees of accuracy) by European colonists about Indigenous American peoples in the areas they were colonizing. My point isn’t “Wow, clearly Bokoblins…

Could you be clearer? There’s pyrex and PYREX and they are owned by different companies and both have the right to use Pyrex (with only the first capitalized) to refer to their product.

Did you bring a harness for all those strawmen or is that a skill you’ve developed some expertise in? Nobody said anything about a hostile takeover, nobody said it wasn’t “rough to be an independent studio,” the issues with Work-for-Hire is a completely different topic, and “Embracer took a $2 billion gamble that…

1) Broadsword is another subsidiary under the EA Umbrella, but they aren’t BioWare. From an accounting and logistic standpoint, BioWare is not responsible for the associated costs or profit margin of games which Broadsword operates.

Let’s play some back of the napkin math.

You may want to check that again. The only scene I can think of like that didn’t include Bokoblins among his summons and this is further supported by the entry for Silver Bokoblins:

The entire realm in this fantastical game was recovering from an apocalyptic cataclysm was just subjected to another huge disaster and is thinly populated with the hero needing to recover their strength in order to stop the world from being destroyed but instead lets convince ourselves of some alternate narrative…

He doesn’t explicitly say how (which makes sense, cause it could be a few things) but based on what he said in the video I’ll take a stab at it:

In this case I would be interested in opposing it because of the precedent it sets: That the state government can weaponize targeted regulation to push policy onto businesses. Regardless of if the regulation accidentally improves conditions or the policy is positive, the government should not be targeting businesses re…

That clarification is fair. My statement was intended to mean “Produces slower results than a purely numeric analysis would expect” but I can see how it might be taken to mean “Will always produce the same result slower” which is clearly untrue.  In particular, I was thinking about Chapter 3's breakdown of…

Not really. We’ve been writing books since the 80's in Software Engineering such as The Mythical Man Month explaining in very reasonable terms why having a larger team produces slower results even when everyone on the team performs optimally. Additionally, we have no idea what the scale of Nexon’s project was compared…

So, we already kinda know this is true in a backwards sense. Niantic was tapped to create Pokemon Go because of their extensive work and collected data on their first title, Ingress. While they did not sell that data, they were effectively selected out of a pool of far more successful mobile development studios in…
