That entire article reminds me of when I was told by my very rational and intelligent friends that I was overreacting to Kavanaugh’s nomination proceedings - something about how his nomination would backfire.

What a stark contrast compared to what we have to worry about now.

Surprise! It’s proper history.

This is completely sarcastic but it’s so, so, SO dumb that this is in fact the sentiments of the ppl on the new the_donald website. Smh

It’s nip it in bud - which is not the nipple of a human, but the bud of a rose. Sorry for being so pedophile.

🤣

I know, I know. It’s not a knock against the game or anyone who likes it. Maybe I’ll come back to it in the far future. There are almost too many games available at the moment so I’ll be ramming my flaccid dong against another wall until I love it.

This but with Cyberpunk for me.

I’ve tried W3 so many times but I just can’t get into it.

I see. Well, I guess I’ll see you in 2 years then when they inevitably pull off another swap and move all resources from SC back onto SQ42, and use that as an excuse, yet again, for why significant progress isn’t happening now, but soon in the near-future.

I’ll even mark my calendar 😉

It’s as if the person read a parable about the Hindenburg disaster and took from it the idea that hydrogen should be the only gas used for balloons.

Is it the early access games, or is it just Chris Roberts’ history of being deceptive?

I mean, if SQ42 is truly close to being released, if it requires a last push, shouldn’t all employees continue to work on the project? Usually the final stages of a project require more work, not less.

Why would you suddenly “prioritize porting features from SQ42 to SC” if releasing SQ42 is a goal?

“(On SQ42) …but our plan is to be feature and content complete by the end of 2019, with the first 6 months of 2020 for Alpha … and then Beta.” - Chris Roberts, 2018

Apparently the order of operations is reversed for Chris Roberts in that both “feature complete” and “content complete” come before both “alpha” and “beta”.

There might even be a “delta” and “gamma” - you never know when it comes to this man and the absolute slipperiness he employs with the English language.

I've heard a great aphorism about this topic in that the national religion of Japan is "being Japanese".

Copeland told 1819 News, which published the report on his 62nd birthday, that his online alter ego was a harmless “hobby” that did not go beyond his home.

"The only moral crossdressing is my crossdressing"

… Siracha.

At least before the debacle with Underwood Ranch. I unknowingly bought extra before it happened and am close to running out. I'm not sure what to do afterwards but I'm not inclined to support Huy Fong.

You’re entirely reading what you want to read out of my words, and then promptly applying some vague label as if you’re somehow the most enlightened yourself. As if, probabilistically, we both aren’t in very similar circumstances being here this very moment in the system that you seem to so despite.

There is definitely a small set of powerful, rich, and influential people who “benefit”, but I don’t think it’s a pyramid of nefarious overlords so much as it is just a large web of people acting on their own interests.

The same could be said for people with crab mentality. They are acting on their impulses, values, and opinions, born from likely unfortunate circumstances, when they drag their immediate others down. They aren’t thinking about holding society back at large.

Plus, quite often things are the way they are because of historical inertia. It’s why historians place make such a big deal about continuity. For example, many laws we have can be traced back to some series of awful events that happened to a set of people. But those awful events were probably caused by yet another set of awful circumstances.

If you’re looking for some group of people to blame for all of your woes, you might just become a fascist.

Yes, it’s a less than egalitarian choice, I acknowledge that, but my empathy is only finite.

I still listen to To Far Away Times. That song is still magical to this day.

You’re pretty good (っ⁠´⁠･⁠_⁠･⁠)⁠っ
