If you ever feel like doing a second playthrough (the side quests and DLCs are fun) then train with captain Bernard, the captain in Ratttay, he teaches you some combos and blocks that make combat a whole lot more manageable.

There’s all sorts of reasons being unionized could help create a better product.

Hopefully it means less insane crunch but it’s still up to the higher ups to say “ok good enough” and release before it’s polished right?

Yes you’re correct, but the union beyond just meaning less crunch, also means that the average worker has more pathways to be vocal about problems with the product. They also now have a “nuclear option” of going on strike if management makes a decision regarding the product that the union really doesn’t like.

Beyond all that though, even just basic stuff like job satisfaction/happiness at your job, can lead to a better product in creative industries, and unions are proven to lead to happier workers.

Fo3 had a small update recently to get rid of Games For Windows Live and to fix Windows 10/11 compatibility.

The FNV update was probably something similar.

Why would it not follow that Steam using the same percentage - with lower costs and none of the physical-based risk - is simply greed?

Most of the retailers mentioned in that article were also digital only and had the exact same or less risk. Steam certainly does a lot to try and get people’s money, but they aren’t just greedily fucking over Devs for that 30%, that is in fact industry standard.

I also have no doubt that Epic will enshitify itself and raise its rate closer to 30% after growing.

Ehhh kind of? After watching it, it feels a lot more like they want to show the rebuilding of the NCR, so I wouldn’t exactly say they did things to the NCR just because they wanted a more Mad Max Apocalypse style.

Yup, I mean I’m pretty left, but the endless politics is probs bad for the platform in the long run. We need more “normie” and hobby communities if we’re gonna keep attracting new people.

Enough to know it’s bullshit.

Sure you can grab the one example in my argument that was actually functional and not fully symbolic, but my point still stands, humans build seemingly irrational things to grandstand, and the Pharoahs would’ve for sure done the same in their role as dictators.

I have my fucking doubts.

And I’m sure so has every serious academic who has studied the pyramids and all came to the conclusion that it was a tomb, and if you read their reasonings for that I’m sure you’d understand why they came to that conclusion.

Here’s an electrical engineer tearing apart the electrical pyramid conspiracy theory for it’s misunderstanding of basic electronics.

Honestly, why would they make three precise giant buildings for a tomb?

Same reason we would spend a stupid amount of money on the St. Louis Arch, Statue of Liberty, or Palace of Versaille, or any work of art? To create a lasting symbol of something and to symbolize status.

I’m sure you found that book very compelling, but any electrical engineer or historian with an understanding of that period’s technology could rip it apart.

Wtf? Pls say this is satire.

Fuck, can we ban this? I normally hate passing laws that don’t really do anything, but it’s so hard to figure out what a program is from the name when every single government agency insists on shoving an acronym in the name.

Liberalism does not just mean capitalism. Most of Liberal thought is about political rights, the kind of political rights that Putin obviously has no care for.

Last time I checked, Putin, the one who invaded Ukraine, is certainly not a Liberal.

This is the take that makes people feel like they can shoot grandma’s and burn children. You can run an effective resistance without targeting civilians ask the ANC.

I mean when there’s a genocidal right-wing dictatorship next door that’s taken up invading nation’s as a hobby, of course they’re gonna vote for the one whose highest priority is security.

Yes, I don’t think I alluded anywhere in my comment to them being reasonable.

I’d say I alluded to quite the opposite by saying even the often war crime friendly US army is justified in keeping ISIS from having any territory every again.

I’m probably gonna get hate for this, but I think our presence in Syria (and too a far lesser degree in Iraq, specifically Sinjar and Iraqi Kurdistan) is completely justified. Not only is the revolution in North and East Syria/Rojava incredibly hopeful as a new stable and egalitarian Middle Eastern democracy, let alone it having some policy positions more radically egalitarian than most of Europe, but our actions in Syria and Sinjar have been some of the few almost unadulteratedly good military actions of my lifetime.

Between us and the YBS, we stopped a genocide in Sinjar, and im glad we’ll be there to stop one again if ISIS ever resurfaces like it’s currently trying to.

Why is it that every time that you’re confronted with information that proves you wrong you always just pivot back to

“Well what does it matter anyway, America is worse”?

It’s also important to note the group that put the Baphomet there isn’t a theological one, it’s the Athiest Satanists, so to them this is purely about trolling Churches that try to influence the state.

This but kind of unironically, him doing this makes it much more likely the US government will blow some of its military budget to fund some sort of competitor.
