Just Gilbert Grape it and cremate through structure fire.
Therapy should not be a hobby or a lifestyle. The point of therapy is to no longer need therapy.
The female characters seemed very distinctly female, and possibly even attractive, though was that Gal-lactus near the 1:42 mark?
That is precisely the kind of female character you would want if your studio was kept in business by selling the customer what they want and not ESG money, butt pats from other studios and devs on the DEI dole, and positive social media interaction.
An "unbeatable" DEI inspired rival character that is also a clear allegory for P2Win whales as zir is an unskilled, lazy asshole, but has ridiculous financial backing and still succeeds so most of the other NPCs love them.
Take the inn idea and expand on it by creating a clear, if mostly inaccessible, way for the player to P2win their way out of everything, like a special currency that can be "purchased" and/or earned from miserably grindy tasks, but that arbitrarily expires or depreciates in value.
Is this not a way for companies to self report their ideological leanings? We get to avoid and/or minimally engage with those companies, and they get to virtue signal and collect ESG money while destroying their business with poorly qualified candidates.
I think by "falling apart", they mean "no one likes the ideologically driven shit I made, so it is the end of the entire industry".
Strange, as I was able to watch it without the app or logging in. Thank you for the additional source.
Favorite civ? Tall or wide? Expansions or no?

Of the currently two results, it is the man in the ball cap, not the woman in the hijab.
The thought of this alone makes me laugh, so I can only assume that the actual event would be hilarious.
Oh, oh my. A participant, Jedd, posted it on Tiktok under "#gdscream". It is as pathetic and childish as you could imagine, and all the participants seem so pleased with themselves afterwards. All 30 to 40 of them. Literally dozens.
The sidebar stories
Man ran from Chicago cops with a machine gun, tried to escape by stealing their squad car: prosecutors
and
2 armed robbers got into a shoot-out with a security guard, then returned and got shot at by a concealed carry holder, Chicago police say
really serve to round out this Chicago style societal decay shitshow.
My sibling in Gaming, it shows a strength of conviction and the will to act upon it, casting fear into the hearts of those struck by such a mighty and glorious projectile.

Mother Vivian is proud on this day and smiles upon us all. Boldly go to NG+ Artemis!
I call it Performative Emotional Synchronization. If the lefty considers a thing good/bad, then they expect people to match if not exceed their level of "joy" or "hatred" when the topic is discussed. Outright refusal, a more measured reaction or even a moment of hesitation mark other parties as outsiders or enemies.
Does not matter if they actually believe or understand what is being discussed, or if they had a completely different take yesterday, or if you have known them for years and discussed the topic previously, only "get on my level of virtue signaling or else".
The DA in question: https://archive.is/KgiCa
I chuckled when I found it had already been archived an hour before I tried. From the page:
Governor Baker also appointed him to his state-wide Taskforce on Hate Crimes.
The Hampden District Attorney’s Office has engaged with many community-based organizations, including Roca, the Healing Racism Institute of Pioneer Valley, and the YWCA to broaden its reach and provide equitable services to all communities in need. His office has also initiated many of its own programs to engage youth, prevent crime, help people overcome addiction, and promote social and racial equity in criminal justice.
A classic example of "Racism!? In my district!? Not on my watch!" Curiously, persecuting children and young adults tends to have negative effects and outcomes rather than positive ones, but the crusade against bigotry takes no prisoners.

Wonder how long those "resources and conversation starters" have been up there?
To truly pay homage to the culture it promotes, someone should steal it while livestreaming, then claim oppression if anyone tries to stop them.
Black Mirror could've been great but I forgot the time we lived in.
Sometimes I also forget, and then I have to smother whatever feelings had grown in that hopeful moment. The announcement of the Fallout series really got me going because I love those games (yes, even Tactics, 3 and 4), though it was a short lived joy as more details came out. Such incredible potential, squandered by fools, zealots and hacks.
I think we are getting back to a less ridiculous state of entertainment due to the money finally running out, and that also makes me optimistic.
If you create an underclass that is almost completely dependent on outside assistance and cripple their ability to take care of themselves, then the removal of that assistance would kill them as starvation and strife move their population to a more sustainable number.
Food aid to Africa is an excellent real world example.
It was the "let them fight"-est of times, it was the "schadenfreude" -est of times.
if you dared criticize Disney Star Wars on main subs
It was like that almost everywhere, even outside the internet. I remember expressing my frustration to a buddy of mine at the time stating, "I cannot even say no thank you anymore! It is either all praise or you are a bigot!" as I explained why I had stopped being a Star Wars fan.
I guess divesting myself from Star Wars early to escape the brightsided narrative was a small blessing as I can only imagine how much angrier I would be at the continued defilement of a once cherished brand.
I took me a while to realize that this is on par for anything the left takes over though. Eat the shit or else.
This blog is almost 8 years old. Funny how the "early adopters" of this ideology were saying the same things we say now.
I had no idea until I saw the tiny task bar picture on my Windows desktop and hovered over it as I was curious why there were four silhouettes and two of them were bald. Thought it was Cancer Survivors or Alopecia Appreciation Day.
My two favorite real world examples of "Let them fight" blended together in a single, well balanced portion, seasoned with hysterical lefty tears?
It is the schadenfreude dish of dreams.
Rowling:
...a classic example of the male narcissist who lives in a state of perpetual rage that he can’t compel women to take him at his own valuation.

I’m more of a woman than JK Rowling will ever be.
Let them fight.
Only if they put Korra stans in charge.
