Tesla paid less taxes than me. And you.

I wish people would actually stay in the industry but this is unlikely. Why would someone continue to work in an industry that will cut them at a moment's notice for no reason? These people will leave gaming and become software engineers in other fields. There are more people just looking to work than there are people looking to start a full studio.

Currently? They do everything in their power to make sure companies can poison us with complete abandon.

Wasn't always this aggressively though.

If we didn't start somewhere, we'd have nothing. You keep fighting for what you care about, others will do the same.

This is how it works when you hire people for loyalty rather than skill and talent.

With that mindset, we are all doomed. I get the desire to shit on them, just like the people who haven't left X. But for every person who knows about the manipulation and censorship, I guarantee there's another who's ignorant of it, and will be shaped by it unwittingly. This is not a good thing and having that mindset only serves to allow others to get away with this.

Tell people. Save this article and share it. Remind people of the fuckery behind the scenes whenever you get an opportunity. Be annoying about it. The people who are tuned out are the ones who need to hear it the most. Tell anyone you know using tik tok. Try convincing someone you know to quit the app. It's better than telling them to reap what they sow. because we all lose when anyone is convinced the propaganda is real

Trump's whole thing is making his own reality. If you don't challenge that reality every time he tries to lie or cheat, then it will only get worse and worse.

La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo? What's that?

Capital will always take the path of least resistance. These companies don't give a shit, and just wanna make money. I wonder if any of these same companies gave money to the trump campaign?

Little more nuance in this situation than that.

You're welcome to not have guns. No one is forcing you to defend yourself. You can fight ICE with your bare hands if you want.

But maybe don't shit on others for wanting to be pragmatic.

So you plan to just take the abuse and the loss of your liberties and freedoms?

I'll stick to my guns.

Garland ran out the clock.

 

If you aren't aware, the Ghost Stories English Dub is one of the most insane dubs ever made. It's incredibly offensive and racist and bat shit insane at times and it's probably one of the funniest things I've ever watched. Scamboli Reviews has a great summary video about it. If you have time, it's worth watching this anime at least once in your life.

 

The Gold Saucer is sure to be fantastic, and I'm excited to see the date scene. But I'm particularly interested in how they do Barret and Dyne's encounter. I hope they expand on that whole moment.

 

Can we discuss the start of act 2?

I made it a point not to roll back my saves for any decision I make. So far, I've managed to save the tiefling's at the druid camp. Being a tiefling myself, I want to see them make it!

This made me all the more excited to see all the tiefling's that I'd saved make it this far. And boy were there a lot of them. So many people I recognized from previous conversations or quests. I was thrilled! And they of course remembered me.

I say all this to emphasize how hard it hit me when I wasn't able to protect Isabel. That whole interaction blindsided me so bad. And my initiative roll was horrible for all my characters, I ended up being paralyzed and they just slaughtered her in 2 turns.

It was a freaking gut punch, the likes I haven't felt in a game in years. All those innocent people, turned to monsters, then forcing me to put them down.

My main character was always so optimistic before this. This interaction is gonna make me change the way I play and the decisions I make going forward, just to really add to the impact of him losing all those people he cared about, thinking the decisions he made led to their death.

Is there anyone living the good life with their tiefling friends in the Last Light Inn? Anyone who saved Isabel? Because my character just lost his people and is a broken person now because of it.
