Yeah, this. It’s an amazingly well-written novel… seriously, one of the greats. But I would absolutely never describe it as a love story. That definitely requires some amount of reciprocation and not just grooming and rape.

I listed some reasons in the comment literally right after that.

“Trains already exist” doesn’t address literally any part of the other project. Horses existed before cars, too.

They weren’t meant to be causative, and I stand by both of my statements. Her writing is objectively bad, and it’s a small miracle that she didn’t manage to ruin this series like everything else she’s written. Yes, I know those are strong words, and yes, I do believe them.

I’m sorry, but the vast majority of this really just boils down to “all my coworkers suck.” Why the fuck are you still there? It sounds like literally nobody you’ve ever worked with knows how to do web dev

So no matter how much one hates Rowling (I don’t, she’s done more good than evil by far still), she’s smarter and more decent than most of the humanity. That sucks.

Lol. She lucked into an amazing world that managed to remain a good story despite her writing, not because of it. She’s not an idiot, but literally every other piece of writing she’s ever put out kinda slams the “smarter than most of humanity” line.

Definitely not interested enough in the characters for an anime - they’re all really strongly stereotyped and (IMO) annoying. The game was decently fun, though! A bit of a grind, but I had a good time with it

They’re going to have to clear a lot of stuff for a big conveyor system why not do it properly and go with freight trains?

They would have to do the exact same thing for trains, though. Do you have any comments on the actual differences in the projects, or do you only have (probably rightfully-placed, but still) knee-jerk reactions to your favorite vehicle?

A very competitive category, as we all know

Anyone who cares about the difference between pedophile and ephebophile shouldn’t be allowed near children.

Yup, those are both the industry terms

Press it a thousand times and then transition back 🤷‍♂️

I’m not a weirdo, so I don’t. My friends don’t have to buy into my version of wasting time

Turns out its just hot wheels for man-children.

Like 90% of the point of hot wheels was looking cool, so I have to respectfully disagree

Report the cops and their families

long term, it’s cheaper to just play games online on PC

The companies are clearly coming to terms with this, as well. I’ll be avoiding Sony games on PC for the foreseeable future - after the Helldivers debacle, it’s clear that Sony is looking for ways to monetize PC players.

You’re kinda both right - Dead Cells was developed by Motion Twin, who spun off a smaller team called Evil Empire to support it after release. Rogue PoP is developed by Evil Empire, while Motion Twin proper is working on Windblown.

Dafuq is a weshwesh supposed to be

Honestly just shows how dialed in the steam deck is

I don’t understand how so many competitors are just making rhe most obvious, braindead mistakes. Who the fuck thought using Windows was a good idea?!?

lol. I’m old enough to have worked with SVN (and many others) as part of my day job, and I promise you that 99% of git users use literally the same exact workflow as they did/would have under any other VCS. Git’s fine, but it’s neither revolutionary nor important from a user’s perspective.

Shoebox full of gold. If my math is right, that comes out to roughly $8M or so. Not sure about second one
