Just some college fun

Idk what it is about players now, but if there is an announcement, they want the game out immediately. Another game I follow is being made by a small dev team, and they give somewhat regular updates. Multiple a year, generally timed to monthly, but like Dec got skipped for holidays. It's almost daily someone is claiming the game isn't coming out, it's a scam, the game doesn't exist, etc. And this wouldn't have anywhere near the fan base ConcernedApe is dealing with. Just shut up and let people make the game...they don't owe you a game, or updates about the game.

Maybe it's cause GTA6 and TES6 are in dev hell and it's become a meme that they aren't releasing, but still. It's top-shelf annoying behavior.

For reference. 90% of logo changes seem to be the bullshit "inspiration". From Xiaomi: "Kenya HARA used the “superellipse” mathematical formula when designing the logo of Xiaomi. While there are infinite options between a square and a perfect circle, the designer achieved a visually optimal dynamic balance by adjusting the variables in the formula. Using n=3 struck the perfect balance between a square and a circle, epitomizing the core aspect of “Alive”, resulting in the brand new Xiaomi logo we see now. Compared with a right-angled object, a circle is a shape that is more agile, which is the perfect representation of Xiaomi’s flexibility, relentlessness and its will to move forward."

It's shit lol.

Love to see it lmao

There isn't a ton to say, as she likely does not want or is willing to be convinced otherwise. If you know that her view is untrue (which, it is. There are, quite literally, millions upon millions of people who live fulfilling, good lives with depression. There are also people who provide "value" to the community through employment or otherwise who do not necessarily deserve to live.), then you do not have to value it. It's the same way you wouldn't value a Flat Earther's screeching about you being wrong about sphere Earth; they are beyond reason, and are not worth the energy needed to combat their views. It's tough, because it is your mother, but motherhood does not mean you are wise or well-lived. The barrier for entry to parenthood is extremely low.

That's insanity lol

Brother it's so bad. I've been trying to help a friend do one recently, or at least plan it, and I've watched my previously $85 2x16 sticks of GSkill DDR5 (like the cheapest option I had) shoot up to like $260 in under a month has been insane. It's not even good ram....

I swype type on my phone, my last sentence should read "ask vet about dosing"

Have you tried Benadryl? Cats and dogs can have it, and assuming it's some kind of allergy as opposed to a a like...topical thing, it may provide relief she hasn't had yet. Just ask get about dosing

Thank fucking gawd. I don't expect anything to change, cause our team is God awful anyway, but dude clearly couldn't cut it. Reactionary firing of Vrabel, then just throwing GMs and HCs at the wall isn't gonna fix shit. Find a guy you're happy with and keep him for a bit. Same with GM. Same with QB. We just carousel betwethe 3 every 3rd year and it's maddening.

I've said this until I was blue in the face. The closure of NIOSH in Morgantown, the place that arguably led the charge for discovering black lung's cause and combatting it, and continually working on particulate science, was the absolute biggest slap in the face to this state that could have happened. The biggest ally miners had in the the twilights of their careers is gone, and in it's place, you get a "good job, bro" and kicked out the door by the mine barons. Any shot you have at recompense dies when they declare bankruptcy with yet another shell company; the holding ponds they're responsible for? Not their problem. The recovery costs of the natural environment? State's cost now. Yet all those profits go right into ol' Jimothy Justice's pockets. Probably amped as fuck that he gets to continue his racket, and ALSO vote on the policies that regulate the industry. How fun that is!

Fucks sake.

It's been bleak since about 2008, Obama just was popular enough to stave this wave off. Heavy swing back the other way, with the temporary gap for Biden off of short term anger and easier voting with COVID.
