I'm not used to reading non-fiction book but let's go ^^

An open book.

Title: Laziness does not exist
Subtitle: A defense of the Exhausted, Exploited, and Overworked

Author: Dr. Devon Price

Added rain and thunder storm sounds in #myrne6313 I wish I could share this with people, the mood of the game took a major ride. If only there was a way to make a gif with sounds :'D Joke asside, I'm slowly starting to have a game that can be played for a few minutes and should probably make […]

@chris I've been saying this for what feels like years now but is probably just months : The US citizens should be in the streets. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Easier said than done, I know but dictatorships don't fade out and disappears by themselves. Look at France. This is how it's done.

And in the comments you'll see the classic "wait to see what it will do in a year". Well... I guess it will rip off assets a little better to still lay them out in a creatively bankrupt project? What's even the point?

A reddit comment thread with two messages :

Mine (Beldarak): "What about people with disabilities?

Also, how can a difficulty option that came out YEARS after the game release manage to hurt the game design? The game was already done :D

And it's considered one of the best Souls-like too so you're objectively wrong here."

The reply : "People with disabilities can’t do many things, that’s kind of the thing about disabilities. Video games aren’t any different"
