Chrono has maths problems (and other alarm tasks), if that's what you mean.

Well, yes, there is that.

In June 2025 are you seriously trying to say that Hamas is motivated by end of days hadith? Palestinians are a marginalised ethnic group, to put it mildly. They don't need religion for motivation.

I was speaking generally. Are you talking specifically about Hamas? I think they're probably upset about a lot more than end of days hadith. What makes you think they have a specific focus on that? Genuine question.

In my experience, I've not seen any of the Abrahamic faiths ever focus on end of days in any material literal sense. I'm not that familiar with the typical US Evangelical or Israeli perspective, which is probably relevant. Evidently, they can sometimes interpret "Promised Land" in the literal sense, rather than a metaphor for a state of enlightenment or inner peace or anything like that. So, you might be right.

When this voluntary migration plan succeeds and the world becomes a beautiful terrorism free utopia, you antizionists are going to look pretty stupid.

Edit: Wait!!! Are you about to downvote me because you're a zionist, an antizionist who doesn't understand irony, or something else? I can't not know!

I'm currently reading Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez. You might find it interesting. I'm not sure how much I buy in, but it's pretty wild.

"...you get to be relieved of your responsibilities for the day and go do something fun" is a terrible attitude to take about the underlying work if you're trying to make games. If you didn't enjoy making it, they won't enjoy playing it.

Edit for the downvote: I have a small games studio. I also attended d.school and have an EMBA. Large companies will have some people who phone it in day-to-day. A small studio needs people to be committed and giving 100% basically at all times. If you've done your job properly, you might find that you have to force people to take time off or even go home at the end of the day. That's what I was getting at. Field trips might form part of that engagement strategy, but not as a respite from an otherwise grim day-to-day.
