Remember this: if you finish a game at all, you are well ahead of the crowd. Best of luck.

I don't know what "chaos for social good" is supposed to be, but I am intrigued. Would you care to expand on that?

Worked for several years in that language--overall a very good experience.

I guess we'll see. East Berlin was unique, but then again, every set of historical circumstances is unique. I'd also argue that, by missing the boat (pun intended) on containerization and allowing the Port of Oakland to poach most

Fair enough, so their audience also includes the crypto-Republican wing of the Democratic party.

The WSJ writes hit pieces because they know exactly who their audience is (the business wing of the Republican party and the Republican wing of the business community) and if they didn't write hit pieces, said audience would lose inter

Guess these companies better stop spending so much on avocado toast and fancy coffees. It's hard times for everyone but I'm sure they'll manage somehow.

Well, perhaps. I'm skeptical that this would have any practical effect, but I would definitely love to be proven wrong on this.

I guess it depends on what we mean by "it". If you mean an exact repeat of Berlin 1989 to today-ish, no. But if we're talking a vibrant counterculture in general, then favorable conditions for that are far more common. Histor

Is that pertinent to whether or not China is currently communist in anything but name only? No.

"Because that would be bad for the consumer", they say then, with a straight face. All it takes to get a person to say something like that is a fat paycheck and a broken soul.

And for some reason if I get up and leave to get a drink of water or use the bathroom, _I'm_ the asshole.

China may nominally be a Communist country, but in practice, they've been more an authoritarian capitalist state for a generation or two now.

Good luck with that argument in court though.

Well that's where the transparently bullshit rationale comes in.

I'll take it.

If people start to actually do that, watch for that to be forbidden shortly afterwards, on some transparently bullshit pro-customer pretense.

My theory about the Noah's Ark story is that Noah was a real person, who was a bit more skilled at reading the weather than his neighbors, and predicted a bad rainy season in time to build a boat large enough to save his family and som

One of my favorite things about Deathloop was kicking unsuspecting NPCs off of cliffs and roofs. I've played a lot of that game and that hasn't gotten old yet.

That's one thing that drives me crazy, the occasional game I see where you can't accelerate the text at all, it just dribbles out onto the screen at the pace of the slowest reader imaginable.
