I have to admit I have no proof other than it wouldn’t be the worst thing these kind of companies have done.

That, and as far as putting down any sort of ‘grassroots’ movement, making them look like fools is a move straight out of Freakonomics in regards to how the KKK was effectively out on blast by the Superman radio Broadcast of the day.

By showing how crazy and dumb the organizations ‘secret codes’ & ‘rituals’ were, their numbers dropped precipitously.

I’m still not convinced that these guys aren’t being fronted by oil conglomerates to make real climate activists look like morons.

Ideally, it would be the same word over and over, so that we can trick the AI into ending all sentences with the word. Bonus points if it is the word “buffalo”, since it can from a grammatically correct sentence.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

Damn, has it been that long already!?

That’s the ‘soon’ I was referring to, I guess. He’d been working on another game in the same universe when he got the rights back.

Mentioned in this thread.

And I believe the designer got the rights back fairly recently, so I’m hoping for more of this!

It’s worse because they are a suicidal death cult.

They wish to bring about their version of the end of the world and are doing everything they can to make it happen. All the while, they are dragging the rest of the world down with them.

God forbid Federal Highway Administration or the Department of Transportation actually work on removing distractions along highways…

The original Homeworld also scaled difficulty based on how well you were doing on previous levels.

Behold! The D4

I had a game where done other players tried to pull the “shopping episode” stuff twice before I had to put my foot down.

We hadn’t even gone on our first quest yet. We had no Gold to buy anything.

I made the same switch earlier this year. The only real issues I can recall were learning to update flatpak manually because it holds up the other updates if I don’t do that through the Konsole first.

Granted, that might just be my system, but I generally have had far fewer issues with Tumbleweed than I’ve ever had with Mint.

Oh, and my art tablet gets tagged as a game controller for some reason, but it works for what I need it for so I haven’t bothered to fix it.

It doesn’t work that way anymore

"you'll now need to purchase around 18 months of Xbox Live Gold to convert it to 12 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, pushing the price to around $120 instead of the previous $60 "

Yeah, those corporate types usually can’t see past their next quarterly earnings report.

The fact remains that this playbook failed rather drastically, earlier this year even, with the D&D Franchise making similar headlines, and it wasn’t even enough to give them pause.

This also could be their original goal, but they tried to pull the “throw it at the wall and see what sticks” and then dialed it back to try and make it not seem as bad.

Like when the justice system adds on a bunch of superfluous charges in order to make their primary ones stick.
