That’s exactly how they framed it. They cited reasons as worker burnout and Hasbro / the game system. They wanted to be done with BG3. Studios don’t really announce that the second they finish the game.

They literally have been connected to video games development their entire career. They are voice actors. They do that shit all the time.

It doesn’t mean extravagant, it means “a lot of food to eat”. I know how to cook. The intuition of how much I need to cook comes with more experience, but it means I’d need to go through months of me cooking too much and either throwing it away, or eating the same thing for a long time. When you cook for two or more, the dishes just disappear. You can skip a day, your partner will eat it though. So then you do, and suddenly four days worth of meals are gone.

Yeah, for sure. The problem is cooking for one. If you are inexperienced, you tend to overcook and then you either waste that or eat the same thing for five days. Also picky eaters sometimes can’t eat the same thing two days in a row, let alone more. Buuut if you treat cooking as “a job” that pays more than ordering out (where you don’t pay with your time), then it is really worth it for sure.

Not really interesting. Gaming is often stressful and requires more though / action being put into it. Also there is the matter of skill - it’s way more fun to see someone completely anihilate the other team, than to go out and get killed yourself. You can also go through a story based game without having to actually play, and you get most of the experience. You also need to count in people watching other people’s guides, especially for strategy games. For other hobbies it’s often about actually doing something and feeling the rush, or by occupying the hands and chilling out. You don’t get the rush of driving a car by watching someone else do it. You don’t get your hands occupied by seeing someone knit. Also, gaming provides instant feedback / dopamine. Watching it does that with even less effort.

I’m eating shitty delivered food (including mcdonalds) and I am losing weight. The problem isn’t “bad food” it’s all about controlling calories intake. The only moment where that might not work is if you have some issues - hormonal imbalance or some sort of other illness. But if you eat less and can maintain / withstand that, you will lose weight.

They might be, but to a small extent. What you are actually thinking of is America’s Army - that game was made with recruitment in mind and to show how the army works. Subtle propaganda like no matter in which team you are, you are always a US soldier, and the opposite side is a terrorist. You pick up their guns, they shoot like shit and they are kalashnikovs etc. Someone on their team picks one up, it’s the same gun it’s always been and shoots perfectly fine. You literally had to go through “training” to be able to use a specific weapon, or be a medic. You took tests at the end of a lecture lol.

Actschually yes. Gene Roddenberry said that people in the future don’t care about baldness the way we do. They have the option, it’s probably just so inconsequential that people rarely do it.

Cancel culture snickers removing beloved dick vein

Bingo, that’s the point. It’s a statement on the value of art. At the end of the day, a painting is just a piece of linen with shit smeared all over it. You might as well just tape a banana to the wall and be done with it. But it also shows something else - art isn’t just paint smeared canvas. It has meaning behind it and it evokes emotion.

So this guy eating it and pissing off 90% of people does the best thing that he could have done. Also, the remaining 10% know that it is not about the banana on the wall which was replacable. It was about the emotions - the outrage, the trolling. It is the same artwork - since art isn’t just paint / just a banana.

Yeah because that’s not their job lol.

It’s not middle management, it’s the CEOs. They bought a building and need to justify it, or it is worthless. Unused buildings fall apart. Can’t rent it out, because nobody would do that. Can’t convert to housing, since the plumbing and electrical are setup for an office building, not for a bunch of flats. Redoing that would cost a metric fuckton and never bring any profit.

Until Netanyahu starts pushing the issue and visiting other countries one after the other to show ICC as toothless.

They’ll probably start with a sure thing and then go through less hostile countries, till they go to one that said it will honor the warrant. And with more countries “behind”, acting on the warrant will seem “irrational”. It’s a bluff, but one that is very likely to work to “normalize” the political situation after the genocide.

Yeah it’s called synthehol lol. It’s why it exists, it stops the buzz quickly after and doesn’t make you hungover. You don’t need a high tech solution when you have a magic alcohol that gets you drunk but doesn’t get you drunk.

The entire “replicated vs cooked” meals and “synthehol and alcohol” differences are there to make some people seem like “experts” but in the end just make them look like snobs. Shit’s probably 99.99999% the same.

Synthehol is less fun buzz-wise, shorter acting and tastes off. People ruin their livers now, imagine what they’d do without consequences.

Ya, but like play it. Geforce Now has issues running it lmao

Stalker is right there and needs it

Yeah because it doesn’t cost them anything to say they “do their part” when they make token “commitments”. It’s not because the average person gives a shit. Give them a choice - $5 more an hour, or instantly and forever solve climate change and see how many people would choose climate change.

People complain about having to sort trash before throwing it out. Saying “most people care about the environment” is extremely naive.

Oh so just like Discord, why would I need something new, I already have Discord.
