OMG same, yes!

This comes from review guides, so yeah, they are literally sent by the company with a set of talking points and things to mention.

The conceptual framework is entirely different though. It’s regarded as a treatment for homosexuality at worst, or at best medical treatment of a birth defect.

Iran isn’t a hub for transgender surgery because they have the same idea about what transgender means as the US does, it’s more like they accept the idea that some men were supposed to be born as women and they concede it to be a medical issue that demands treatment.

My words aren’t explaining it the best, but I’m familiar with the mentality and the ideas that prop up that mentality.

I was working in the industry at the time and people absolutely talked about the implications of microtransactions and how it would result in more expensive games and being nickel and dimed.

Like, I distinctly remember conversations with actual human beings from exactly the horse armor DLC and maybe we didn’t think it was going to result in, say the online shooter battle pass formula exactly, but we without ambiguity understood that meaningful in game items, and things like levels / experience would be monetized.

The biggest shocks to me were how patches would be used to reduce the game testing cycles, enabling companies to print incomplete or broken versions of games, requiring day one patches.

It’s a disgusting practice now, and it was then too.

It’s the only way to demonstrate the fall, of you did it at scale it would’ve even be noticeable.

Very demeure very mindful

I did the same thing with the ancient seed in Stardew Valley

I always hated the ribbon context menu system. It ruins the way I learn watch involves where something is just as much as what it’s called, kinda like remember where on a physical page something is even if you don’t remember the page.

Static, nested menus are superior.

These tests get more and more elaborate

What a pompous position to take. I sure hope you don’t make important decisions anywhere.

I’m peddling something that may very well be true, and things like this happen all across the world, all the time. I’m not trying to be a jerk, but I’m kinda trying to say that you appear naive in my eyes.

For governments, and organizations ends are often considered justified by means and that’s not even a crazy position to take.

Conspiracies literally happen, and honestly a lot of change in the world, or research, or political coups would be fundamentally impossible without them. You, like me, don’t have all the information needed to even know quite frankly.

That’s how the world actually works.

Not to feed conspiracy theories, but it’s very likely October 7th was known about and it was decided that letting it happen was more politically convenient to justify the ‘war’ happening now.

Israel has terrifying Intelligence that is world class, you might be underestimating it to be completely honest. By most accounts, it’s the most efficient and powerful intelligence and counterintelligence agency in the entire known world.

That’s on you if you want to dismiss my insights on the basis of the language I use to express ideas. Pretty surface level evaluation tbh, bruh.

Bro you have hundreds of tons of cold stone on the moon. I didn’t say space.

Yes but also no, might be significantly easier to cool for instance and no environmental concerns.

I got downvoted by people without critical thinking skills. A plant on the moon isn’t in space, it’s on the moon, a large cold rock, I don’t understand why no one charitably understood you can dissipate heat into the actual moon which is not warm and quite cold.

Nintendo doesn’t have a legal right to go after NES clones in the States because the patent on the NES expired and anyone is legally allowed to make perfect duplicates of NES hardware.

The only legal ground Nintendo has is software copyright for games they published and / or licensed ( probably just published )

I’ve had numerous ideological and political deltas in my life, so I know it’s possible.

Cool but what your want is more people believing your ideology, so it’s strategically best to convert and understand. Ignore and block is a losing strategy.

Microsoft saw Google and Apple do this with phones, and Steam do this with games, and that’s why they made the Windows store a thing starting with 8.

They wanted to go the same direction.

Yes, that’s the implication, and it’s certainly intentional for you to think of it like that.
