I broadly agree but I don't think that Kojimbo is the best example lol, isn't part of why he got fired from Konami that he was taking too long on MGSV?

I also think that part of the reason for longer dev times/cycles between games is that everything wants to be a GaaS, so development is continuing for a longer period after release.

When it comes to Elder Scrolls 6, idk, Todd just don't got the magic anymore.

Those phrases (amber, whataboutism, and volcel police) each trigger a bot which will comment in response. This is a way to boost a post's visibility because Hot and Active sort are partly determined by number of comments and total comment activity.

If you don't have luck with this post, you might want to try posting in the traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns comm, and the trans megathread as well. Unfortunately I don't have any advice to offer except well-wishes. I hope that you find a place where you can feel safe and belong

I'm going to make myself popular by suggesting we kill people who price-gouge during a hurricane, as well as those who defend them.

If you are a maoist, you can tune out because you already know what I'm going to say. If you're not, kindly face the wall.

Joe Biden would claim that he was Tank Man.

So long as Peter Thiel has money, Vance will be in politics.

There's an episode of Star Trek TOS where they discover a pair of planets that have been at war forever. They have done away with actual physical warfare, since that would damage their infrastructure to unacceptable levels, and instead just simulate the results of bombing and tell each other who died. Everyone who the computer determines dies is notified and then shows up to the war facilities to be disintegrated.

Where will "I'll attack them coz they attacked me coz I attacked them coz they attacked me..." finally lead to?

The end of Israel as an apartheid genocidal settler-colonial state. You can look to South Africa for an example.

So it's happening, huh

Generally, I bring up those uncomfortable topics with the people who I know are willing to discuss them in my life, though if someone mentions any trigger phrases such as "unseasonal weather" or "golly gee everyone seems to be getting sick, I wonder what it is", I go all-in.

I have yet to be fired, cut out of a will, or to lose a friend over this. I'm lucky in that most of the people I talk to about these things are "progressive" at worst, which means they'll usually agree with most of what I say, though they tend to balk at eg killing all landlords. Frankly the majority of people in my life are uninformed and seem to get engaged in those conversations because they learn something and it gets them thinking. The ones who don't tend to disengage and let me rant for a while, which is fine by me because it's quite cathartic.

All that said I don't have any relationships I'd really classify as "deep" so this probably won't work for everyone.

Harris wins popular vote, if it comes down to 1-2 states that are particularly close GOP will rig it like 2000 and Trump wins.

Assuming a Harris victory, Dems lose either house or senate, for the next 4 years fascist Harris supporters explain that she could have solved all the world's ills if only you'd voted harder. All the while migrants and LGBT people are put into camps in any states controlled by Republicans, Dems do nothing to oppose this.

Is "Climate Haven" the new "Unsinkable Ocean Liner"?
