I'm really excited for this. I'm sure at first it will be selling for a price way more expensive than normal chicken, but I hope in the long run, it'll be able to make it so people can get meat for really cheap. And just think, you can get the perfect cut with no gristle or fat every time! I hope this succeeds and becomes common enough I can get it in my grocery store.

I can't necessarily speak for the person you're responding to, but I can speak to my own experience with corporate social media. Without a doubt, reddit, Twitter, Facebook, etc provided things that I value: a way to connect with people and a place to learn. But when I did it on those platforms, all of those fun chats, philosophical conversations, and learning moments that I had were owned by the social media company. I got something out of it, sure, but the corporation was skimming off the top. The recent debacles that so many social media platforms have had recently is just demonstrating that they're getting greedier and greedier. They're trying to extract more value from our relationships and interactions. This is pretty much how every corporate-owned social media platform is destined to end, because shareholders always demand growing profits. In the end, the only resource that social media companies can draw on to drive those growing profits is us.

Is it actually able to be played yet? I was so excited to finally play this game, but I'm glad I didn't pre-order it.

Thanks for asking this! I was looking for something like this too. I'm most of the way through Towers of Midnight in my first read through and I'm hoping to find somewhere to discuss the series when I'm done.

Assassin's Creed has always been a guilty pleasure of mine - I really like the historical setting, secret society intrigue, and stealth game play. That being said, they're definitely falling into a "too much of a good thing" rut with it. I find myself being cautiously optimistic about the Mirage even if I don't trust ubisoft to not monetize it to hell and back.
