I was banned for saying ukraine has a right to defend itself, on the grounds of that being “pro war”.

we have to drive engagement.

the writing was on the wall when they removed the unwatched flags. everything is being catered to their streaming service.

you lost me at musical.

the cloud services are probably fine, their willingness to actually use the resources for a game may not be.

I have no friends, take that microorganisms.

yeah I think it’s fair to argue there are bigger problems that steam.

severance is one of the best shows anywhere in the last few years. For All Mankind is also really good.

See and Foundation are okay/watchable.

who said steam forums are “the” problem?

for now. feels like lots of potential for enshittification though.

The Processed Tease.

everything feels so unserious this year. I get he had a major injury last season, and (barely) played in the olympics (which he was out of shape for).

but then he had 2 months to rest, recover, and train to be ready for the season opener, and just wasn’t for some reason? perhaps his last good shot at a finals run before he is injured again and/or PG is too old. makes no sense.

It doesn’t work in the reverse direction because it’s an issue of equity in role availability. we have a cultural bias for movies with white characters, especially historical movies, so white actors don’t need to be taking what few roles there are for racial minorities.

on the other hand i think it’s fine for racial minorities to be taking roles in a fictional film that would otherwise be 100% white people.

exactly, it’s well known the original scope was actually TOO big and they had to scale down.

easter eggs don’t make a game deep or replayable.

As far as I can tell, no one. After following each link in the article and cursory googling, to me this looks like Merrill is shooting back at something that isn’t actually happening. Of course people are talking about the large budget, but complaining? I don’t see it.

I think for something that’s clearly not meant to be very historically accurate race swapping is fine. If we always have strict racial rules then vaguely historical movies are always going to be contributing to role inequalities for non-white people.

Jakob Poeltl should have been called for 3 seconds

Jayson Tatum fouled Poeltl

Davion Mitchell fouled Jaylen Brown

I don’t think I’ve ever played a game more than 200 or 300 hours.
