My friend and I were pretty disappointed with Moon Knight. That said, I do think a good S2 will help bolster S1 quite a lot.

Please protect your piles of fallen leaves. Many, many species of insects rely on leaf piles to complete their reproduction process. For example, lightning bugs.

Part of life is coming to terms with your destruction of the things around you.

With a single step you likely extinguish millions of life forms, from bacteria to creatures like insects. Does this mean that we should never take a step, lest we crush something with our weight? Or plants which have developed natural defenses to not be eaten, and yet we harvest them relentlessly to eat.

Should we not grow food because eating is harmful to the plants? Should we not move because we may harm those underfoot? Now, we can ask this question after deliberating morality and mortality, but what about creatures that cause the same damages we do without the critical thought - when a pig or cow walks around it creates the same risk of danger for creatures underfoot. Do we have responsibility to prevent that pain? Are any creatures at fault for simply existing?

This probably isn't exactly what you were looking at but I've been thinking about this sort of stuff for a long time. That said part of existence is that we can only mitigate the pain we create simply by existing.

Or even worse yet, Chrysler.

Does T-Mobile not have their 5G wifi near you?

I'm sorry to hear that, you're one of my favorite instances (that I come across in passing)

The game has been fixed for well over a year at this point lol

And possibly already have a vast library of games if you have a Steam account.

Even if you already had previous Nintendo consoles with games, they wouldn't carry over.

Marvel Rivals, because it just came out so it's fresh in people's minds, it's a free to play game with a popular IP and it does a good job as the game it wants to be.

Mostly kidding, that just seems to be the state of games these days lol. Whatever games release at the beginning of the year seem to falter to recency bias of games released later in the year.

Dev = working on game

Dev = game developer

Dev = whatever fits until further clarification is needed based on context

Game development requires writers, artists, coders, so they're game devs. Could it be more specific? Sure. Does it always need to be? Certainly not.

I'm from Oakland, she also gave people the opportunity to not face jail time with the Back on Track program, instead allowing for education.

Here's the thing, Back on Track had people accept a felony charge. If they complete the program (which gives them no jail time but resources) then the felony is expunged.

Her truancy laws put in place as Attorney General were clearly pointed at my community, yes. But it also was done because before my graduating class (the year before it was put in place) was below 50%. My class was brought up to 78%, and the year after was about 68%. The reason this law was even considered was because there were a significant portion of children working with gangs to sell drugs instead of getting their education.

Give her all the shit you want for her problems, I 100% agree. However it's only fair to also highlight the actual policy she put into place and the opportunity for change that she created. I do not think it was the best way of moving forward, as it encourages people to be arrested and it encourages them to take the felony charge for something undeserving. At the same time, it's clearly better than just allowing children to participate in gang life and giving people only 1 option, imprisonment. No one ever seems to want to talk about that, though.

She fought against the Death Penalty when everyone was pushing for it for a cop killer. Not only did she save his life, she did so against Diane Feinnstein who then said she would not have supported Kamala had she known this.

She has been one of the few people who is willing to stick to her convictions when other party members told her to stay in line. She's also extremely anti-fracking, something that seems important considering the amount of sway oil companies have with L.E. and the military.

Finally, regarding your comment - I remember throughout 2016 and the following years the amount of assaults that Trump supporters felt completely safe committing hate crimes against black and asian communities. Is it really people choosing the lesser evil? The police can get reform, in fact we have a whole bill that AOC is pushing for right now regarding this.

Hate crime promoted by the president does not.

I think everyone saying market consolidation is bad is missing the point for this particular one.

This isn't Google buying and killing another product. This isn't AT&T buying and merging something. This is the failed company Activision that bought Blizzard and tarnished its name and branding once again being sold off.

What's more, this is (effectively) the death of Activision. The bane on gaming since it first started mouthing syllables to the words "corporate profits".

I can only really see this as a good thing from pretty much any angle you try to look at it from. The fact that the only thing all the comments here have to say is that "consolidation bad" should be very telling. I'm no fan of Microsoft, but they generally let departments have a vision and execute them. They seem to have less awful stories than most tech cultures, so one would imagine that going from managers who don't care or are actively participating in hazing you to a place where you are given the space to foster your creative ideas... I'm gonna say this consolidation is probably a good thing if only because of the small chance that the workplace culture changes. In regards to the company, there may even finally be a litany of IP have a chance of seeing the light of day again!

Time will tell of course but I'd say all you need to do is read the timeline. The last decade has been nothing but awful actions from Blizzard leading up to the buyout, ranging from people doing multiple different boycotts against them for Blitzchang to their now parent company Activision just going full 1970. Microsoft will never be a golden pinnacle of perfection but they haven't been fostering workplaces where people feel fear and have their freaking bodily fluids stolen.

I guess I'll put it this way. Would you rather have the execs behind CoD and WoW or would you rather have the execs behind Halo and Starfield?

Both suck but one is clearly trying to allow space for heart to exist while having lots of skeletons and decomposing corpses in the closet while the other is whipping its junk out and rubbing it in your face while laughing about making skeletons... too much? lol
