Aardwolf is still up and pretty good. Has a special client with some QoL features like mapping.
It's not as good as Project Bob, but sadly that one shut down years ago.

Platforms could moderate their content. They choose not to.
The through line in this kind of thing is always people being selfish and reasoning poorly.
It's like when someone says "I need to own a car! What if I need to move furniture??" It's just emotional sludge that doesn't stand up to reason with fair axioms.
This conforms to my preexisting belief that deregulation means more profits for private owners, more waste, and more expense for the customers.
I mean it's horrible but the only way people change their mind is from social pressure.
I had a coworker that was very right wing and months of talking I got him to accept queer people can be filed under "live and let live". That was a big improvement from where he started.
This is in line with what I already believed.
That's the version I heard as a kid
PragerU is awful right so I infer they mean this as a bad thing.
Most developers I've looked at would happily just paste the curl|bash thing into the terminal.
I often would skim the script in the browser, but a. This post shows that's not fool proof and b. a sufficiently sophisticated malicious script would fool a casual read
I really liked the Shadowrun games and would have liked more. I'd especially like something more open ended like the Sega Genesis Shadowrun game, where you take semi randomized missions and pursue your own goals.
I think there might be a mod that does something like that, but whatever one I tried was kind of janky at the time (years ago)
Also I never thought I'd like the rigger archetype, but they're very effective in these games. Little robot buddies go bang bang!

One could write a paper about how profit motive and art are at odds, and as the portion of agents seeking profit goes up the quality of the art goes down. Probably many people have written quite a bit about that.
I think it's also worse when the people keeping the profits are removed from making the art. Someone who sets out to make a game and make some money on it will probably make better art than a pack of accountants and shareholders calling the shots.
