The Hugging Face story is another example of a tactic we saw back in the spring. Let's call it "Gangster With an Honor Code." So in gangster movies, all the characters are bad people who extort, murder, etc. So you give your main character something he refuses to do, like "he'd never hit a lady."

I guess quite selfishly I figured I'd be able to keep 'outrunning' it via specialization. Probably could continue to do so if I was fine using The Great Theft Machine, but I'm not, so I guess I'll just... idk. eventually starve or something.

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Placeholder assets in a game should look obnoxiously temporary, so obvious that no one would mistake it for the final asset. In past games we've used the doge dog (rip) as an icon, hot pink versions of characters, our CEO's head, etc. If you use a temp asset that seems passable, it may stay there.
