Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

If you don't work with or on game engines, you don't know enough about them to have a useful opinion about a team's engine selection. You also don't know what factors played into that decision. If you go into their community to denigrate their choice, this just makes you look silly.

The term “remigration” is associated with the extreme right and only came into widespread usage in 2023-4. Even Germany’s AfD avoided using the term in 2024 for fear of scaring away voters. Today the US government is celebrating the “victories” it’s racked up in the “ethnic cleansing” column.

Games media is not only unhealthy because there aren't jobs. For years, games media (journalism in general, really) has run on a deeply unhealthy system that incentivized the worst kind of writing and devalued the labor of writers and other creators.

I just gotta say that I absolutely adore when events make prizes that fit the theme of the event and are unique to it. A medal made of wood with the engraving being burned in is awesome. And a handmade flag of the event logo is amazing as well! Very glad to see those on my wall alongside the rest

These are issues only if the game doesn't allow fleeing at all. If a fight does allow fleeing it puts the onus on the player to actively choose to continue the fight in my opinion.

Random Encounters are amazing when you are less familiar with a game and Non-Random encounters are also amazing when you start recognizing when it's worth actively looking for battles. The best part Random Encounters become Non-Random Encounters when you're familiar with a game.

"Tolerate 80% of the work being crap for the 20% that's good" has become a disturbingly common take. If a work overwhelmingly consists of bad shit then the work is bad. The 20% isn't worth it and is never even that good - just play/watch/read something that's fully good.

Sometimes I run across a take in trans spaces that basically runs "nonbinary people aren't 'visibly trans'", with the implication usually that our needs are less important. Let's talk about my swimming class. Or, rather, getting changed for swim class.
