Oh, I don’t think this is the worst thing Seinfeld’s ever done, come on. Him dating a high schooler is testament enough to that. I also liked that they got Cranston to do this and then specifically called out his character’s limited involvement.

And you’re the sucker who’s fallen for capitalist propaganda. I’ve never worked for Amazon and never would.

Fuck this product, and fuck Amazon. If you work at Amazon in any management capacity, fuck you.

It’s wild how I keep being fooled into having just enough hope to create disappointment.

You’re baffled that Barsanti missed something?

If we cannot trust the creators of a game whose foundational design is the manipulation and exploitation of our most dangerous gambling instincts and impulses for profit to treat us with love and respect then golly-geewiz, who can we trust?

Now that you mention it, I’m seeing the same problem...

the worst part about this for any non-Shelley Ross parties is how much the Republicans will use this in so many ways to discredit the media, the Democrats, Italians, people named Chris, and

lol

This everyone’s friendly reminder that according to current studies, more than 95% of the people who choose to have an abortion express no regrets five years later, with 84% reporting positive or neutral feelings about the procedure. The most commonly cited emotion throughout the study period was relief.

believe so. I played it a couple months ago in community brower

I think its a good change for D2. Typically 2-3 of the players on t side will just camp t spawn at mid. while T’s lose a bit of advantage due to not seeing mid, they gain an advantage by having the team work together more often

At least they are actively trying to include it in the game and have meaningful decisions related to it and get a player to hopefully think about the consequences of slavery. As opposed to Civilization, Colonization and most recently Humankind. Humankind IMO really dropped the ball on slavery as a whole as it was…

At what point is part of their sales because some weird creepy racists really want to tackle that challenge?

Yeah, I mean, strategy games like this one are ethically evil almost by definition.

*Really* interested in the mechanical effects in-game. Slavery in reality wasn’t just evil, it was counterproductive - it tanks worker productivity, discourages innovation (why make a more efficient process, when you can just throw more slaves at the problem?), and pits free workers against slave labor. And that’s…

I would highly recommend this scholarly blog by Dr. Devereaux, analyzing Victoria II’s treatment of various historical issues, including slavery (there are preceding posts going more in-depth into some bigger design elements, but the slavery blurb is in the linked one). I don’t even play Paradox games, but I found…

My favorite part of this super weird comment is the implication that Americans never threaten to sue for frivolous/selfish reasons. The American legal system - famous for its lack of self-serving absurdity!

This is an understatement, last I read on piracy it actually increases sales. Yes though, it’s an astounding comment on the corrupt and disconnected nature of the people that make these decisions that Denuvo is still in business and being used.

Maybe the RIAA should accept changing market conditions and instead of going to war with litigation they should try to meet those changing market conditions and, I don’t know, make money while keeping consumers engaged.
