I’m not an expert on making videogames, but couldn’t this game have been made with only a fraction of the budget? I mean, I heard there wasn’t much content to begin with which is why so many people complain it’s so repetitive. What was the money spent on? The massive headcount of artists and programmers working on the same small details? Overpriced consultants who are there just to critique the game’s script as being “too offensive” on some parts? Reworks to plot points because overbearing producers want to find ways to shoehorn in some kind of paid DLC? The whole game is a money pit with no way to know how deep it goes.

It’s very common to drink raw milk in Mexico so it’s possible it was contracted through there.

From my experience it’s because pasteurized milk used to be way less common and very expensive. People in the older generation preferred the taste of raw milk too.

Not every species are beneficial. There are only a handful that bite us and don’t really contribute to the ecosystem. Those are the ones we need to get rid of.

It takes a toll even on the best of us.

The surveillance would be a double edged sword. If they were to be hacked, all sensitive information that was going through their PCs could be compromised.

I heard this same argument from people all the time. Until it affects you in a meaningful way to change your mind, it’ll be too late.

I like the fact we’re warming up to the guillotine but we should probably have a plan for when and how to use it otherwise we might end up with another Robespierre on our hands which can be quite problematic.

I have a PSN account through owning a PS3/4. I don’t have anything against using it on the consoles since you’d need it to use their online services through there. On Steam however it seems like it’s just a means to track you and I’m not willing to do that lest it gives Sony the idea to start its own platform like Origin or Uplay/Connect.

Hard to say. It has this somewhat retro vibe to the place, full of giant million dollar houses and even some older establishments like Big Boy’s Burgers. I figure it’s full of old boomers who would probably endorse something like that.

I watched a few episodes of Battlestar Galactica for the glory of the empire!

I really want a Chevy Bolt because it’s a compact EV which is perfect for the streets of LA but damn are they making it so hard when they want to farm and sell every piece of data they can from you.

And here I thought Mississippi had the crown of being the worst state.

Oh good another reason to wear face masks in this hellish cyberpunk dystopia. Imagine suffering the equivalent of credit card fraud because someone took a photo of you in public.

Great. Now do Xenogears next.

How would companies that work on classified documents or HIPPA-compliant networks adapt to this bullshit? Surely Microsoft thought this through to prevent a massive data leak, right?

You can say “fuck spez” here. It’s okay.

Interesting. I thought engineers were supposed to be funneled into the companies that make the weapons, not use them. Either way it’s kind of shitty to encourage people to enlist during a major event meant to celebrate their academic achievements.

It’s the Chinese government. Not the common Chinese people. I have no problem with ordinary folks trying to live out their lives with friends and family. I do take issue with the CCP using its military to bully fishermen in the South China sea and fucking over the Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Taiwanese.

More funding doesn’t necessarily work in this situation. There’s a big stigma about public transportation in the US where if you take it you’re seen as unsuccessful and poor. It’s also perceived as something like government intrusion whenever infrastructure is built to support it. Minorities would resist any kind of building of rail along their property because they were previously screwed over when several black and poor neighborhoods were bulldozed for the sake of placing freeways. Rich people simply lobby the government to stop construction or hold back on selling their property because they want to gouge them for all they’re worth and sap the project’s funds.

The solution of course would be a bigger willingness for the government to use eminent domain laws to force these projects through but because of the short term nature of their precarious elected positions, officials would rarely do that lest they get voted out in the next election cycle and the project simply stalls out. There’s been some success with private companies building rail, like Brightline, because building public infrastructure in a capitalist way seems to be accepted more by the public thanks to our conditioning of loving the free market.
