Boycott Divest and Sanction (BDS)

Right, but balance doesn’t have to mean taking things away from the player. And I would think in a situation where there’s no risk of ruining somebody else’s good time, you’d err on the side of making the player too powerful over removing their current gear.

I will never understand why dev nerfs single player games...

Okay this is just silly, I just consider my “backlog” the games I actually want to get back to but haven’t gotten around to. It doesn’t matter if I bought it or it’s a gift or any other silly arbitrary parameter.

Celebrities never want to start from the bottom (city council, county board, state house), pay their dues and learn how the system functions or doesn’t function from the inside. No, they want the top job as fast as possible. No more celebrity politicians.

All the liberal white women that were on Twitter labeling this bit “misogynist”...yikes.
