This is actually one huge gap that I don’t think can be bridged. I work for a marketing organization that has a department that deals with sports and I shit you not, I heard a conversation between 2 people in that department that had “human interest story” at least 20 times total in 2 minutes.

And this right here should be a core question before any marriage with rational actors goes forward: Are you okay with secondary importance to a specific pursuit of the other person. What are the contingents if so?

To wit, your brain needs time away from something to allow it to refocus. Mental fatigue is a thing. 

Don’t play Crusader Kings 2

Since they’ve consolidated the market and gained almost all viable retail spots, they can’t find profits in new growth opportunities nor can they fight alternative retail options.

Games Workshop is legendary for doing things that drive minature sales alone - something that was successful for them up until people stopped…

What would happen if I stood outside the store and handed out fliers to potential customers warning them about services? Cops get me first or angry employee?

That and how some ailing businesses will do anything to prevent a dignified death.

And being an indie game designer is a crowded market filled with shit.

“Oh, you worked at Gamestop. So you’re willing to suffer for meaningless bullshit.”

Amen. I worked at Guitar Center because I enjoyed making music and had some experience doing live sound. I was 22. It nearly killed that desire and it barely paid the scant bills I had.

How much were you taking home per year to jump through these hoops?

All this bullshit quota on a minimum wage slave to sell games.

If enough people are in the streets pleading with them to disobey, maybe.

That was quite a spot on conservative “u hatin bro” response.

going ham for that eruditeness

Pronger’s face says “You’re welcome America, FUCK YEAH!”

Beach flag football is stupid dangerous.
