the government is not allowed to provide a service for free that a company can charge for

I am beyond mildly infuriated by such an idiotic stance, but it tracks with what I’ve seen.

RIP postal service you’re next.

Thanks fam, I learned something new 👌

I believe you but do you have a link so I can use that quote next time?

At least Justinian was on the right track when he wrote that slavery is wrong when he rewrote the laws on slavery.

1. Freedom, from which men are said to be free, is the natural power of doing what we each please, unless prevented by force or by law.

1. Slavery is an institution of the law of nations, by which one man is made the property of another, contrary to natural right.

So close yet so far away haha

Haha that’s me. I wasn’t at all interested in dying over and over and I only tried it to prove I was right.

But damn it’s a full spectrum experience, especially all the dirty and cheap stuff that other games are afraid to do (TWO grafted scions on the ceiling!?) makes the victories all the sweeter.

I’m not crying for myself. I’m crying for you. They say that great beasts once roamed this world. As big as mountains. Yet all that’s left of them is bone and amber. Time undoes even the mightiest of creatures. Just look at what it’s done to you.

Are there any tales of the lads trying to trick them with roman armor on a scarecrow or barbarian?

Any kinda Ferrus Bullerus’ Day Off shenanigans?

Bart had me going in the first half NGL

Diogenes on being hungry 👌

If only it was as easy to banish hunger by rubbing the belly as it is to masturbate.

Sounds kinda based to me

But we why know he belongs here haha.

Worf sends son away disappointed he’s not Klingon enough. Son comes back with his Klingon cranked to 11. Worf now disappointed son is not an orthodox Klingon warrior cast in his image 🤷‍♀️

Plus he’s also a super shitty brother 👌

This statement is something that I dont understand

I’ll try to help fam. The hungry deserve to eat and they have the moral high ground over the ownership class that would rather that person starve and the food they stole destroyed.

Gonna agree with you for opposite reasons. The combat in the postgame dungeon, Costlemark I think. The one where you can’t use any healing items, it was a worthy challenge.

The other postgame dungeon, the platforming one was, was way better than many final fantasy challenges like jumping rope and dodging lighting.

Special mention for the incredible soundtrack, the Matoya’s Cave remix especially.

But ya everything before the postgame, the umm main game I guess, was ridiculously short. Imagine FFIV ending when you drill into the underworld, or FFVI ending when the the world breaks, that’s what the story in FF15 feels like. As soon as you depart to the next continent you get rug pulled by a time jump that takes you to the final boss 🫠

Xbox was so great when it launched. Thanks for bringing us decent length controller cables, hard drives, and Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay 👌

Nowadays, uhh thanks for making an unnecessary media center I guess 🤷‍♀️

The steam discussions are as spirited and divisive as I expected lol.

Too many problems that show it’s wearing a skin suit like a serial killer pretending to be your neighbor to be invited inside the house. It’s simply not Trek.

1. Resource bottlenecks - Not a thing in Trek.
2. Crew Morale / Hunger - Not a thing.
3. Logistics and transport - Not a thing.
4. The “drop” system is borderline P2W mechanics manifest.

The mediocrity as I understand was from the rift that developed in the team about the vision of the game being a sandbox vs a campaign.

However, I witnessed a new divide among the team which was less well-known; as more core game developers (such as myself) were recruited to help finish the game, a cultural gap emerged between the newer ‘gameplay’ team and the older ‘Sim’ team. The former group (which went on to spearhead Darkspore) was primarily concerned with how Spore played as a game. Were the mechanics engaging? Did the player’s choices matter? Was the game replayable? In contrast, the ‘Sim’ team carried the traditional Maxis DNA and was more comfortable with Spore as a toy box. Could the players express themselves? Was sharing one’s creations with other players meaningful? Did the game spark the imagination?

These cultural divides ruined Spore’s chances to be a focused, cohesive experience.

I can’t wait to spend that much for the “burning pile of post-scarcity money” card from Lower Decks s5e2

All things considered, he succeeded in his goals.

The concrete plant was under insured and so his “rival” that owned it ended up eating a few hundred thousand dollars in damages.

Still a complete lunatic, but a competent one as well.
