Banner Saga is an odd comparison to me

Lots of people seem to like the art, which confuses me deeply. I’m 100% with you on the visuals - it’s deeply ugly, very unappealing to look at.

It’s “Deplorables” all over again. There’s no criticism of these people you can possibly make that they won’t eagerly adopt as an imagined badge of honor.

“But everybody knows that to be a Terrorist you have to be Brown!”

A reasonable AFK time-out should have been in the game long before launch.

I was misremembering slightly - you are correct, unit alignment is what it technically went off of. But unit alignment itself changes every time a unit kills an enemy, going up if the enemy is higher level, and down if lower level. This happens even if a unit is naturally good, and is killing naturally evil enemies -…

Hey, at least it’s not yet another utterly ancient but super famous male actor getting cast to play a character half their age...

True, but I don’t know what the difference is.

So the reality of grocery stores is that they have entire swaths of items called “vendor items”, which are brought in and put on the shelves by an outside company - the titular ‘vendor’ of the product.

You know how when you were a kid, there was that one popular thing that at least half the school was into, despite the fact that it sucked?

1) You’ve built some nice strawmen for yourself to knock down, inventing some fake arguments no one actually made, and hoping we wouldn’t notice.

The point of an executive is to convince investors to give them money they don’t deserve, so that they can pay other people peanuts to do all the actual work.

Step three - laugh at all the investors whose money you wasted, grab your golden parachute and abandon the company before it actually goes under, and then go get hired as an executive for a different company.

Risk? In business?!? Say it isn’t so!
