This comes from review guides, so yeah, they are literally sent by the company with a set of talking points and things to mention.

Yes, lots. This isn’t North Korea or Iran here, Russia absolutely has advanced rocketry and has for decades.

The conceptual framework is entirely different though. It’s regarded as a treatment for homosexuality at worst, or at best medical treatment of a birth defect.

Iran isn’t a hub for transgender surgery because they have the same idea about what transgender means as the US does, it’s more like they accept the idea that some men were supposed to be born as women and they concede it to be a medical issue that demands treatment.

My words aren’t explaining it the best, but I’m familiar with the mentality and the ideas that prop up that mentality.

I was working in the industry at the time and people absolutely talked about the implications of microtransactions and how it would result in more expensive games and being nickel and dimed.

Like, I distinctly remember conversations with actual human beings from exactly the horse armor DLC and maybe we didn’t think it was going to result in, say the online shooter battle pass formula exactly, but we without ambiguity understood that meaningful in game items, and things like levels / experience would be monetized.

The biggest shocks to me were how patches would be used to reduce the game testing cycles, enabling companies to print incomplete or broken versions of games, requiring day one patches.

It’s a disgusting practice now, and it was then too.

I’m sure it’s strongly worded, almost a condemnation if you will

It’s the only way to demonstrate the fall, of you did it at scale it would’ve even be noticeable.

Cruel yes, unusual not by definition. It’s precedented and quite usual.

I did the same thing with the ancient seed in Stardew Valley

I always hated the ribbon context menu system. It ruins the way I learn watch involves where something is just as much as what it’s called, kinda like remember where on a physical page something is even if you don’t remember the page.

Static, nested menus are superior.

I think it sounds worse.

That’s just his home address

These tests get more and more elaborate

I agree, but I think all intellectual property laws should be repealed. I came to the conclusion that patent, copyright, and trademark are all varying levels of bad years ago and I think it clearly holds the human race and human progress back by limiting creative iteration.

What a pompous position to take. I sure hope you don’t make important decisions anywhere.

I’m peddling something that may very well be true, and things like this happen all across the world, all the time. I’m not trying to be a jerk, but I’m kinda trying to say that you appear naive in my eyes.

For governments, and organizations ends are often considered justified by means and that’s not even a crazy position to take.

Conspiracies literally happen, and honestly a lot of change in the world, or research, or political coups would be fundamentally impossible without them. You, like me, don’t have all the information needed to even know quite frankly.

That’s how the world actually works.

Not to feed conspiracy theories, but it’s very likely October 7th was known about and it was decided that letting it happen was more politically convenient to justify the ‘war’ happening now.

Israel has terrifying Intelligence that is world class, you might be underestimating it to be completely honest. By most accounts, it’s the most efficient and powerful intelligence and counterintelligence agency in the entire known world.
