I write this missive from the press room, a cavernous, windowless space with bad carpeting and a pleasant view of Canada

That’d explain why the instructions are so slow.

I don’t know why you wouldn’t. I’ve played a bunch of the game and I’m not really sure what the purpose of their servers are. They might just be a news-feed type thing?

They’re all delivered via “free” DLC. The DLC is gated in-game unless you put the necessary RFID thing on the RFID reader, ahem, “portal”.

Senators passed the legislation by an 89-8 vote Monday. The measure authorizes $700 billion in military spending for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, expands U.S. missile defenses in response to North Korea’s growing hostility and refuses to allow excess military bases to be closed.

Which is why we need less marketing and PR people—who probably aren’t as involved in the creative process as they should be—talk about artistic or mechanical decisions FOR developers.

Whoa! I totally missed that they started with a Tower Defense game:

I think if you don’t read (play? can’t remember) the message from the Quarian Arc, you wouldn’t even know they launched. Earlier in the game I think there was something about how they were planning on arriving later anyway? My point was, the main story has a beginning and an end (of sorts). There’s obviously some…

It’s a complete game. There’s some unresolved threads but they’re somewhat minor compared to the main thread.

If you feel that bad about it, why read it?

Even without the in-game content, which you noted is substantial, the prices aren’t far off from an equivalent Lego set.

Reported! You’re all fired! All of you!

Reported!

In this hypothetical, the clown masturbating would be a relief. Ever hear about a mass shooting that started with the perpetrator rubbing one out?

You’re not missing much by stopping at that point but aside from “come to Jesus” his Religious message, as far as I can tell, amounts to take care of the sick and less fortunate. Show compassion. Sacrifice in order to give to those in need. Not exactly ripping apart the 1st Amendment stuff.

You’re getting to the fundamental issue of why I eventually turned away from a more libertarian mindset. The principle of letting businesses choose who they do with business with is a good one. It should be sufficient to ensure the most personal freedoms. In practice, this helped to enable over 200 years of…

Hey, HEY, what did the sea ever do to you!?

Which I in part pay for through income and consumption taxes.

The government might not have a legitimate claim to all of it but it certainly has a legitimate claim to some of it. It maintained a set of conditions where you were able to accrue all of that wealth. You did not have to spend more of that wealth defending your property.

What I don’t understand is this notion that…
