Unpopular semi-controversial take:
Yeah, minors shouldn’t be rashly and quickly making these decisions. Especially as teens, when their body and minds are going crazy due to shifting hormones and changing physiology. And before performing non-reversible procedures, we do need to be 110% sure.

Like the first Rambo, the first Rocky movie is dark and serious. Surprisingly artsy. The second one isn’t bad either.
The fourth is also fun for the entirely different reason that, by that point, it has become a cartoon.

True.

...??
Why?

Yes, I have. (Hence my saying “that’s not what that phrase means.”) Salting the earth is something a conqueror does to express dominance over a vanquished enemy and prevent their recovery.
The classical military equivalent of teabagging followed by spawn camping.

Kinda but that’s a stretch. Apple didn’t conquer Valve and is scourging them so effectively nothing will grow again. “Salt the earth” is much more akin to “wipe them off the map” or “erase them from history.”

“It’s my understanding, for lack of a better word, Apple has salted the earth with subpoenas, so don’t worry, it’s not just you,” Judge Hixson told Valve’s lawyers during a virtual hearing yesterday

The phrase “if something is wrong now, it was wrong then” always makes me raise an eyebrow. Because it implies a moral absolutism. That something is either right or wrong and there’s no question about which it is, and during that different time people were choosing to do wrong.

Doing thirty seconds of *ahem* research shows she also has an Instagram, Twitter, and Reddit account tied to her OnlyFans and does quite a bit of plugging. (Which you’d expect from someone who ended up making six digits from OnlyFans.) With 155k followers on Twitter and 561k on Instagram.

Putting aside the link between games and violence, other solutions, other causes of violence, and everything else they could do with their time... how would this even work?

It’s not fucking because of Generation X’s failures. It’s because their successes!
Their success led to more progress. They moved the line and now the Millennials and Zoomers have moved it farther resulting in an identical backlash.

Punishing the kids seems a step too far, but it is a Catholic school. They tend to be extra strict on dogmatic values.

At this point, yes. It has the *hint* of failure now, so there’s no way people will touch it upon release and it will be a punching bag/ joke until launch.

After rushing Cyberpunk 2077 led to a disaster of a launch, I expect everyone will understand this and be entirely reasonable.

No kidding. That’s house lottery material right there.

Ah yes, the amazing wordplay of rhyming “bitch” with “rich.” Truly a poet.

Clay, eh? Well... at least it’s not cake.

I’m curious where he ranks in the company. Is he a lead designer or the lead designer. Is he the main designer or just one of many?

It was fine.

Exactly.
