We know they can make good sims games because they made 2 and 3
You see, that’s kind of a problem right there. Game companies are like the ship of theseus. The people and, more importantly, the teams who made Sims 2 and 3 are not there any more.
quebec is finally free
It’s good to note that the parts of Europe being otherized here are not Belgium or England. They are on the east. Which had always been subject to Orientalism in the first place. Everything from the accusations of slavic byzantinism to the allegations of turkification levied against cultures of the balkans was part and parcel of how Europe (western europe) sees the world: a series of imagined others which exists only as a contrast to itself.
That european identity expands and contracts at will. There are moments when the spanish and the portuguese are regard as too mixed and too arabized to be European. There are moments when Ukrainian-Russians are regarded as western while Russian-Ukrainians are part of the mongol hordes.
No, from what I’m told its very specifically about a system of item loss upon death / other players can find them / if they do you get them back that Legend of Arceus implemented and which Palworld also uses. Creating the ability to patent troll mechanics that specific would be a bad precedent.
It’s a big deal because this is a patent lawsuit, not a copyright infringement suit. Nintendo isn’t accusing Palworld of breaching Pokémon aesthetically or whatever. They are accusing Palworld of breaching their patent of a gameplay mechanic.
Oh this is pretty old. Gaming companies have become more and more predatory with their pricing schemes over the past 20 years or so. So some people who still haven’t gotten over the very existence of DLC still harp about not pre-ordering stuff. Their problem is twofold. The gaming community at large is the sort of person who spends money on games instead of I dunno going out. If you aren’t spending money on drinks or airline tickets it turns out that this game’s subscription, that other game’s DLC pack, and so on do pack a lot of ‘entertainment hour per dollar spent’.
‘a big republican guy is gonna endorse kamala’
‘reagan’s staffers invoke the spirit of reagan and say he’d be pro cop’
the mistake there is that the culture war is politics and politics is about falling in line. grifters are always on the lookout to see wether a) a given piece of media is popular (and therefore not woke); or b) if every other grifter agrees its woke (and it’s not that popular). if you’re out here calling everything under the sun woke, you become a joke that doesn’t know where the wind blows.
in other words. only a true believer would call a jk rowling game woke.
i’ll have you know the word should is very deliberate. i am well versed in the ways of civility
my favorite policy position is that things should be better
Hell, I’d argue that too many people remember of Vagrant Story on the basis of it somehow being Ivalice.
add star citizen funding to the pentagon bill
like anything french its way too on the nose like what the fuck i feel like i’m watching a chinese historical romance and the borderland cannibal governor is being summoned with his army to win a mild dispute within the court
There never was a two state solution. It’s a sham that likes to pretend as if the entirety of palestinian territory isn’t under permanent israeli occupation.
A two state solution requires the forceful removal of the israeli military and roving gangs of zionist supremacists. A two state solution means that Israel can no longer steal the resources of its neighbors because it means war and sanctions. It was never going to happen.
Precisely. I heard Trump is gonna arm Israel with even more bombs and is gonna send aircraft carriers to ensure the genocide continues unabated.
What you’re saying is entirely correct. But the simple fact of the matter is that men are not having children either. Consider the welfare queens discourse. It’s mysoginistic (why not welfare bums?) but it’s also aimed at anyone ‘not doing their part’ by getting a job, paying taxes and so on. This allows everyone from the rural poor to the suburban middle class to see themselves as Not Freeloaders®, and potentially soldier for conservative policies.
The demographic transition is not like that at all. Nobody is having kids. What tradmorons don’t realize is that this isn’t ideological. It’s not because of Feminism. It’s not because of the lower importance of religion. It’s not a lack of patriotism. People have lots of kids when it is in their interest to do so. Having lots of kids is everyone’s economic strategy in an agrarian, pre industrial society. The same applies to industrial economies characterized by low living standards and dominated by substandard jobs. The US is neither of these things. It has high living standards, it doesn’t need extra farmhands or kids to hold onto land, and it’s people (middle class and below) aren’t hoping that their 3 kids help the family’s income by dropping out of school and getting into the gig economy.
Seriously it takes two to tango and only the wealthy weirdoes cloning themselves for organ replacement think otherwise.
yes, and the khive itself is a phenomenom which is part of the cryptozoological mythos
how can you be this bad at politics
i assume they mean the two assassination attempts (so far)
