And it’s not like a single player game gets worse over time. The player count is totally irrelevant and if 2 years from launch nobody is playing it it doesn’t affect your experience at all.

This is a loss for Warhorse and a win for anyone that doesn’t need to play it now.

Thomas Sankara and Rosa Luxemburg

Yeah, and he went away not because they voted him out but thanks to Soviet weapons.

I’m a commie, so I’m all for social ownership of the means of production, but that’s neither here nor there. The point is, there isn’t a scale of how pure capitalism is: a Keynesian model is as capitalistic as laissez-faire is because the underlying relationships to capital are the same. Communism isn’t at the other end of any scale because it’s an entirely different model, not just more or less regulation.

Some may argue that no country is socialist because they are still transitioning, and that they are still capitalist, but that’s not a scale: they are not socialist (yet, hopefully) because their mode of production is still capitalistic.

Regulated capitalism is still capitalism. There’s no such thing as “pure” or “impure” capitalism, the social relationships to capital are the same. Lassiez-faire capitalism is just a flavour of it.

It’s like ice-cream: you may prefer chocolate ice-cream over vanilla ice-cream, but they are both flavours of ice-cream and you wouldn’t say “yea, that’s not pure ice-cream”. Some people may even dislike ice-cream altogether and prefer cheesecake.

He could even justify it to the fans as a collab with a well-known author, who would do the bulk of writing with Martin as a supervisor/big picture guy. Like if Jordan had spoken with Sanderson to finish WoT before he died.

DF is not bad >:(

It’s a better argument to not trust the awards admin with anything from now in, given that they did that independently and removed a ton of Chinese authors from the ballots.

China didn’t have anything to do with it. They censored books that were already translated and selling in china, and Chinese authors.

Because it checks if the version starts with the string “Windows 9*”, not wether the number is less than 9.

Just use reader mode, it bypasses all that shit.

Just wanted to point out that whether it is an undemocratic move or not does not depend on the recipient of the aid.

I don’t get what’s strange about this. They didn’t like commies, Russia is no longer even calling itself socialist, so why would they still be hostile to the Russians?

It’s the kind of thing that the more you think about it the more flaws you find. The stories from the different factions also feel very disconnected, like Skyrim’s. Everything seems to exist in a vacuum).

But don’t take me for my word, if you already have it play the game and see if you enjoy it, that’s what’s important.

The problem with starfield is not technical but that the writing is pretty crappy in general. Technical or feature problems can be fixed (cyberpunk or no man’s sky did it) but the story can’t be extensively rewritten without making it a different game.

gave order and safety to the poor.

Didn’t he end poverty by inviting all poor people to eat and then burning the place down with them inside?

I didn’t know this. Which games did it?

Maybe it’s different in the US and other cultures, but as an atheist I’ve never seen the phrase as a very religious thing. I say “merry Christmas” and “happy holidays” indistinctly and I’ve never seen anyone offended by the use of either, independtly of their faith (or lack thereof).

I say “merry Christmas” on the actual Christmas day though.

Hmm, I wonder if they’d put my hands so they could hold like beers or a shelf… I think I’d be a nice conversation piece.
