TPB is basically immortal. Any instance taken down can be back up in minutes. It’s a game of whack-a-mole you can never win.

It would be really swell if those people would then blame the correct persons or instances… but you just know they’re going to blame the dems or the libs or w/e. Post-truth society and all that.

Likewise, “just following orders” didn’t fly at Nuremberg, it should fly anywhere.

Close. Sola.

The right side is massively more organised and corporate. It’s not an even battle by any stretch of the imagination.

These only exist to make the more advanced (and more expensive) models seem reasonable by comparison. It’s marketing, not product development.

Not to mention that studios like Larian have proven that it’s entirely possible to make a blockbuster game without teams of 400 heads, changing direction and leadership every few years and laying off the people who made the product in the first place. They really seethed at that one, so many salty comments lol.

That’s why they said they prefer a protracted war. As long as it’s going on without a clear winner, they can both supply Russia and keep selling their shit to the EU.

There will come a time they will have to choose, however.

I hate living in a reality where a routine traffic stop could result in someone being disappeared and tortured while being completely legal.

The deeper implications of this are… frightening, to say the least.

Imagine if the CEO who laid you off was also your psychologist/therapist who you have to turn to. What in the actual fuck is wrong with these people.

Even at the cost of millions losing healthcare?

I still believe the original plan was for him to be killed before he could be returned. Too many spotlights on the case prevented that from happening.

It also reduces the pool of available replacements because if the leadership keep getting killed, you end up with decidedly less volunteers for promotion.

And just like that, piracy seems to become a viable profession again.

I’ve had corvettes, wrxs, a trans am and a gro.

Thanks for the point, but it seems like we are playing in entirely different leagues here :p Should my situation ever change, what the hell, I’ll remember your comment.

For my midlife crisis I bought a beast of a pc. Harley Davidsons or sports cars are out of the budget.

Not gamedev but other software, going through the exact same thing (new, external CEO). Guess the axeman cometh for us all eventually.

I did, but long ago. Problem is when you’re taking ssri’s/snri’s, especially in large doses, mushrooms lose their effect. Taking psylocibin on these meds doesn’t do anything, you don’t even get visuals anymore, only a mild euphoria at best.
