So they're legislating speech and forcing the use of pronouns that make them feel more comfortable. Color me shocked.
We've discovered the breaking point of paradise. Hope the next sentient species is a little less selfish.
She just means she doesn't give a shit if people think she's biased or corrupt.
For me it wasn't the fire that kept drawing comparisons to Divinity. It was the writing. The opening is beat for beat Divinity tropes and it was off-putting. It took hours more gameplay and character development for that edge to wear down, though it has probably permanently shaded my first playthrough. Perhaps that opening was one of the first things written, and thus the most akin to its predecessor.
Once the game settles in, things feel less Divinity and more Faerun. The fire metaphor is apt though. Things do creep in from time to time to remind you who built this adventure. It's like a signature. I don't always like it, seeing the hand in this case is more jarring because of how sensitive I am towards the setting and gameplay. But the craft is so thoughtful otherwise, it's broken through those barriers for me.
I bought an Ember mug because I thought it was silly. I ended up really liking the temperature control. I don't rush my coffee/tea. Now every sip is as hot as the first one.
The new Ember costs, I think, half again as much as the first iteration. It's a cute gimmick but I certainly wouldn't pay what they're charging now.
Every time a sequel or a comic book movie lands on its face, someone rewrites an article about franchise/superhero fatigue. And that's been going on for over a decade.
People will show up to watch a good movie. Guardians 3 did really well. Spider-Man is the "same old stuff." This is all cherry picking examples. Movies don't do well when they're bad or the star is unappealing somehow.
Hollywood will stop making these movies when people stop paying to see them.
Affirmation action mandates a historically and currently racist society to demonstrate commitment to end subversive racist policies.
Declaring everyone equal under the law doesn't begin to put forth the required effort to actually make the country a more equitable place.
Based on the language from Valve, it sounds more like legal protection for themselves than a judgment from an ethical perspective.
Your question isn't a bad one, but the battleground over copyright ownership probably isn't one they're weighing in on here.
We get it. They died. It's tragic but this coverage is unnecessary and gratuitous.
Farscape.
Look upward, and share the wonders I've seen.
Looks like it's an unrelated death. Naturally, a news media headline implies a connection.
"Journalism"
The end of Red Dead Redemption. Spoilers for a game that's over a decade old, but John's death was a brutal cruelty that stayed with me for a long, long time.
