Nah, we're beyond that now. It will all be Siri level text to speech, either that or every game's dialog will be rendered in Animal Crossing speak.

It's not that kind of crucifixion. It's one of Japanese Santa's kinks. He's into some weird stuff.

I do want to try it. Main thing keeping me from playing it, outside of budget concerns, is that all the other Bethesda open world games looked right up my alley, but never were able to hook me for some reason.

Yep. The trust is gone. Gonna be awhile before it can be rebuilt. Funny thing is the Unreal Engine's current revenue model was put in place specifically to compete with Unity in the indie market back in the mid 2010's. Unity goes and decided to make their royalty model WAY WORSE than...

Well, he's not wrong, in a sense. People don't die as often to hurricanes, flooding and tornadoes as they used to despite those things happening more frequently and severely. It's a STUPID take on the problem, but it is a take. We still have to do all the repairs and cleanup after the storms...

I seem to remember a climate change map suggesting that changes in temperature and rainfall patterns would actually increase the arable land in Canada. One of the few areas that would benefit from said changes. Screws up agriculture pretty much everywhere else, though.

Using Twitter to show your art is about exposure. If I had a game project far enough along and I was proud enough about, you bet I would be posting screenshots and concept art in places beyond the likes of Itch.io.

With the UAW also on strike, we could be getting closer to a general strike. Just need a couple more industries to enter the fray.

So a 16 year old can be forced to work the midnight shift but they want to repeal the 26th amendment to keep 18 year olds from voting... They don't want to take us back to the 1950's, they want to take us back to the 1850's.

Eh, That sort of time-travel wouldn't allow for effective immortality, though. A combination of telomere restoration and nano-tech cellular repair might. If you can somehow manipulate spacetime to that kind of degree, you can likely figure out a way to rebuild telomeres and develop advanced...

One of the potential side effects of exposure to time vortex energy is immortality, though I think it has to be focused in a specific way to achieve said results.

State actors using bots will likely pay the fee anyway, at least as long as twitter remains a viable method to distribute misinformation and propaganda. Granted, tanking the company by implementing a paid subscription across the board WOULD result in the bots leaving, just not for the reason...

Figures, really. Riccitiello used to be CEO of EA. He's using the same anti-consumer tactics at Unity that he did at EA.

Yeah, what little I've seen of him over the past 5 or 6 years seems to indicate he's been slowly going from a little off to full wingnut.

Saw a blurb about that earlier today and YEEESH.... Talk about a company shooting themselves n the foot.

TOS wasn't consistent with anything. Heck TNG wasn't very good in that regard either.

Not so sure of that. WW3 caused an increase in scarcity. Post-atomic horror and all that. The no-money thing didn't really start until after the unification of Earth. By that point the population would have largely recovered and humans would know other species exist. Zephram Cochrane...

Federation Credits are a thing. The nature of what exactly they are and how they are used is never exactly explained in canon materials, though. They usually come up when the Federation government is negotiating with other powers.

Growing up where I did, Summers were pretty much always over 90° F with high humidity thanks to the Gulf of Mexico. I never got used to it. We did have AC though. Can't imagine how bad it feels to those not accustomed to that kind of climate.

That would be my guess. When the New Economy was implemented after the unification of Earth, certain compromises were made to the various powers that allowed for managment of legacy land holdings, especially if it relates to preservation of some sort of cultural traditions(traditional French...
