Oh sure, but they'll continually claim until they're blue in the face that everything they do is about money. So they should be continually exposed as the financially irresponsible idiots that they are.

For the people where egregious human rights violations and terrorism aren't deal breakers, wasting money is. Frankly I don't respect their opinion, however, they also vote, therefore their opinion does matter.

Which is a shame, because classic Luthor had extremely valid concerns about ceding ultimate power to someone you can't take it back away from. He used to be one of the most sensible "villains" I knew of.

I'm expecting some obviously fake, maybe AI written "file" to be released and for the originals to be destroyed. Calling it now.

Optimistic understatement, mostly.

No man can hide from the ravages of Time. It (and by extension, they) can reach you no matter where you try to hide away, corners or no.

I love those in particular just because of how absolutely inescapable they are. If the Hounds are hunting you then you're going to be found. Period, done, end of story. You can't exist in a place that has geometry without throwing open a door for them.

I'm sure at least one mad wizard has sealed himself inside a perfect spherical prison with no corners only to find that the Cornerhounds don't much care what corners they come from, and your knees and elbows work just fine if better solutions aren't available.

I buy things in early access for just such a reason. If it looks like something I'll like, I'll buy it early to support development. If it's great then great. If it falls through then I'm out a bad investment of like, $10.

I've got probably a hundred indie games in my library that I've supported in exactly such a fashion, from raw pre-alpha to 1.0 release to post-release content update or dlc. They aren't all winners. But many of them were worth the cost of investment and then some.

Less AAA trash fires and better access to actual passion projects because they aren't being drowned in a sea of mediocrity?

This is an absolute win on all sides

And that group of people seem quite pleased with Ada's strategy, she's one of the most well loved moderators I've ever seen in any community.

If you don't like it, that's fine. The space isn't for you.

More than the doctors? No, absolutely not.

More than the bean counters who want to replace these doctors with unsupervised robots? I'm a lot more confident on that one.

Blahaj is specifically a safe environment for LGBTQ+ folks who usually face harassment elsewhere, pre-existing homophobia or transphobia is a totally valid reason to be banned pre-emptively in my opinion. The safe environment doesn't exist if you just let anyone in and then ban them after they cause trouble.

(Using "you" in general here, not to mean you specifically, OP) if you're hanging around outside a gay bar talking about how cool your schutzstaffel tattoo is, they aren't going to let you inside the doors. Same idea here.

I think LAN is still dead but offline single player works fine.
