Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

Here's a funny thing about the right to vote: it wasn't won by voting.

After decades of the political "center" gradually moving rightward towards capital and away from people, we are now seeing good old socialist policies and union efforts become normal again, and I'm here for it!

No, there isn't any extra space in the UI, I'm telling you. It won't fit. No, this is where the buffs go. That would overlap with level up. Yes but in German it's panzerhandschuhe. On a button press? They're all used! Yes, even stick press. It's photo mode. No we can't just add a button.
