It’s a long time ago, in a galaxy far away. Geneva conventions and the laws of war didn’t exist at the time.

It can’t be that people are organically wanting to talk about a recently released triple A game by an old and relatively beloved game studio. They must be paid actors.

I’m not sure that using the entire QA staff of the world’s largest agglomeration of Dev studios on a single game only qualifies as “not cutting corners”. That’s surely going above and beyond.

I don’t know why, but that’s disgusting

That’s a misrepresentation of old English. Man used to be neutral, and was modified by were and wif respectively for man and woman. Wife comes from woman, not the other way around.

The units of time we use come from a bronze age civilisation that used base twelve instead of base ten. They’d count on their hands using the finger joints of one for single digits, and then the joints of the other for multiples.

Attraction is a chemical process, long term relationships without respect are doomed to failure

But how can you respect someone who legitimately believes in magic?

Still not particularly impressed by someone engaging in magical thinking

If you have any decency, get rid of most of it, preferably to charities or political causes.

That sort of wealth in the hands of a single person is obscene, and spending it on luxury when there are people starving and homeless in the world is the height of immorality.

While this reads like a Sony advert, I have to agree.

The program might have required skill to write, but that’s not an excuse for it to threaten entire industries.

We don’t live in a world where industries exist just because it would be nice for them to and people need work.

An industry is a productive environment that creates products for others to buy. If the people buying from the current art industry care about human inspiration and the uniqueness they add to art, they will continue to buy from humans. If they do not, why should the state use it’s monopoly on violence to cripple any other source of product?

Are artists some special class of people above every other group of workers who’ve lost their jobs to automation?

At least in my car, I’m guaranteed to not run into weirdos or gross conditions caused by ill adjusted members of society.

Unfortunately, we are completely surrounded by gross conditions caused by ill adjusted members of society. Those individuals just happen to be in the government.

You can see here that it’s been in decline consistently for the past 20 years.

I mean post Soviets, haven’t all the Baltic nations seen significant depopulation?

You can get a cheaper apartment easily. Like the cheapest 1 room ones are like 40k and outside the capital it’s way cheaper still or it was last I checked.

Isn’t this because half the population left?
