But man would a Team Fortress 3 be welcomed. Like running a franchise into the ground, the lack of levity in games nowadays is sorely lacking.

If you aren’t up on the acronyms: The Wolf Among Us 2.
If you read through the stories that define them, it makes a lot more sense. Blood and sacrifice are intertwined with life and righteousness. God is holy and set apart, and can’t be in the presence of less – so their lives and habits are built around remaining in relationship to their God.
So the careful handling of death, food, and blood makes perfect sense from that worldview, whether you personally agree with it or not.
That’s not how this works.
You’re free to create stories, video, of your own video game in the universe. If you chose to make that public domain and give it away for free, then good on you.
Others can create freely in this universe with their own expression, which they could charge for.
Much like how there are movies about Cinderella or Red Riding Hood which are under copyright, but the base story itself is in the public domain and free to use.
A wee bit aggressive there.
Read the rest of the thread. “I can’t boycott what I don’t use” is everywhere. A boycott is more than money, it’s getting the message out there, which was the intent of my post.
Whether you go to Starbucks or not is kind of irrelevant. The broader population needs to know how Starbucks is anti-worker. They are happy to take more money from the consumer, and push the “partner” narrative, but it falls apart when the partners want to be treated with dignity.
That’s a story everyone needs to hear before they spend $5+ on a drink.
Leave it be. There’s nothing wrong with non-sensational opinion articles. In this case, the article brings together fact and inference about the Chinese government to make a statement.
I suspect most of the “PSA” individuals didn’t read the article itself, which is a part of a larger coverage on authoritarian regimes around the world.
This article is not about a lab curated disease, but about how doctors in Wuhan were aware early that the virus was transmitting person to person, despite what the government was saying publicly.
The authoritarian nature of the Chinese government meant that they were muzzled and unable to speak freely.
Might be a play on the word “see” here.
Wars are distant things to North America. A product that is viewed only through glass or a screen. There has never been conventional war on modern north American soil, so it is something people go to, but not a devastation that really affects day to day life.
I’d liken the attitude more to Hollywood movies: an export of American (US) culture.
So the understanding that this is people’s literal homes. That life is finite, and war is atrocious is disconnected. I can watch Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, Black Hawk Down, etc. to get a taste of war, but when I’m done with it, I want it to resolve and be over.
That’s not possible for Ukrainians. Their country is still occupied. The devastation on their land will continue for decades.
Even if they crash through the lines next week, and sweep aside Russian defences like dust there are decades of rebuilding and de-mining ahead.
The cultural West must be willing to be in that journey every step of the way, or we risk another radicalized generation in the future that heard the promises, but lived the broken actions.
All in my opinion, of course, from the safety of my home.
It’s an interesting product of a western world that hasnt really seen war in 70 years. It’s always been far away.
We seek instant gratification, when in reality these are people’s lives. It should move slowly, especially against heavily mined positions. I’m wondering if we’ll see much progress until the F-16s enter the field to gain air support for the ground troops.
They refused to send a model and asked him not to review until the new software was out. So they knew. He bought one anyway.
