Yes. Critical infrastructure should be in the purview of the government. Profit incentive shouldn’t be a factor when it comes to things the entire country relies on.

How far is it from bigger places? A real concern would be that if the company goes belly up or relocates it will be like any other factory town where it collapses the economy.

If Congress/Biden can force an end to the strike, what incentive do the rail companies have to negotiate with workers?

Companies need to start being put in check. There should be no reason a company’s profits are multi-billion dollars and they can’t reinvest several million back into their employees. It doesn’t even have to be mostly monetary as well, a little reasonableness and good benefits can go a long way...When you support over…

If you are executive for an ‘essential’ industry, it would be in your best interest to pay workers well, give them real benefits, and even more PTO. Save the ‘you guys are doing a great job and this country would fall apart without all of you’ bullshit speech and compensate workers fairly if they are that ‘essential’.

I expect to hear the republicans firmly defend the companies and complain the railroad workers are lazy entitled jerks.

I think the design has aged very well, but in clean (stock) form. I think they are still pretty cars (and look better than their Stealth stablemates).

I’ve never heard this story. By virtue of that, I'd have never gone looking for it. Is it that hard to just scroll on by?

This is a headline news article about... a rehash of an anecdote that’s been known for years. You can find an IGN article that covered this back in 2014, and can probably go back farther if you so bother.

It’s the breathless treating this as something revelatory that I find so vexing.

Try this:

Looking back, I respect their decision to make AC2 during the Renaissance. There are exactly zero non-RPG-RTS games set in the Renaissance. Took balls to pitch that in the face of the obvious: this would be a good ninja game.

Wild guess: This game will take place right around the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600. That era offers a lot of political intrigue as well as pitched battles, gunpowder weaponry is available, and Japan was still open to European nations, so the backdrop still allows for Templers and the like to be present in such a…

Yeah actually. There were multiple methods throughout the Middle East but the quick and dirty version was filling a stone pool with water and overnight it would get cold enough to form ice that could be stored in an insulated room or container.

I think it’s fine to love Ghost of Tsushima and still be interested in other takes on it. It’d be sad if everyone considered ‘open world medieval Japan game’ finished now just because GoT did it really well.

There is room to still make an interesting game, especially if they push into a space left by Tenchu. The challenge will be making all of the games elements feel distinctive rather than derivative of either Ghost of Tsushima, Nioh, or Sekiro.

The two door looks like it got some inspiration from the Toyota FJ Cruiser as well. It’s more angular, but I see some resemblance. 

Says the bitch who is too much of a bitch to type the word bitch and instead uses an asterisk…like a bitch.

Keep politics away from gaming please.

“Man I miss the 80's and 90's when everyone wasn’t acting like a little b*tch about everything.” I, too, wish the government of Florida didn’t act like the LGBT+ community had cooties.
