Pompey and his allies induced the Senate to demand Caesar give up his provinces and armies in the opening days of 49 BC. Caesar refused and instead marched on Rome.

Addendum:

The civil war ultimately led to Caesar’s becoming dictator for life (dictator perpetuo). Caesar had been appointed to a governorshipover a region that ranged from southern Gaulto Illyricum. As his term of governorship ended, the Senate ordered him to disband his army and return to Rome. As it was illegal to bring armies into the northern border of which was marked by the river Rubicon, his crossing the river under arms amounted to insurrection, treason, and a declaration of war on the state. According to some authors, he uttered the phrase iacta alea est (“the die is cast”) before crossing.

Wasn’t that literally the last thing Julius Caesar did immediately before declaring himself emperor for life?

If I remember correctly, this policy was introduced after they got flack because some employee called the cops on a black person who was just hanging out inside the store.

Turns out money is more important to them than the appearance of inclusion surprised pikachu face

Aw shucks, that’s a bummer. Good try though, fellas! You gave it your all and I’m sure you’ll gettem next time!

Is this literally Trump engaging in a dick measuring contest with Xi and Putin? Like “they’re gonna take Ukraine and Taiwan? NO FAIR I want new land too!!!” What a fucking baby

That was definitely a bold design decision, but I’m glad it paid off for Gearbox. Never before had I played a first person shooter from the perspective of an underpaid pumpkin.

What about the domestic terrorist corporations who assassinate whistleblowers? Or are there so many hands involved there that it’s not worth the trouble to dismantle those terrorist organizations?

“Are we the baddies?” is for sure an extraordinarily alarming moment of clarity

Don’t forget real, well-tested HDR and VR support on all GPUs out of the box.

My interpretation of the closing lyrics of this song are “by the time we’ve fully understood the destruction we’re causing, the Sun will be about as close to death as it can be. Once the Earth is a husk, then we’ll start to make a change.”

One day we’ll wake up from this absolute nonsense. A star, long worshipped, will burn in the red. Disused and empty shell: icon of an old world.

Conscience awakened, we’ll take it from there.

Purely from a game design standpoint and ignoring all corporate and sales considerations, Valve.

Half-Life, Half-Life 2, and Half-Life: Alyx are literally three separate Citizen Kanes of video games. All took immense steps forward in the direction of removing the layers of abstraction between video games and human experience.

From a meta perspective that considers things like the process of game development and the accessibility of video games on PC, also Valve. Steam has done wonders in the way of unifying (to the best of Valve’s ability) the user experience of DRM into a very manageable interface. Proton has taken the barriers to entry into the realm of video games down to the fucking studs. The Steam Deck is laying the foundation for eliminating the dominance of any one video game hardware manufacturer.

I’d be hard-pressed to say any other development studio has been more fundamental to the gaming industry period, let alone PC gaming.

I admit my response wasn’t particularly serious. I just meant to point out to that commenter that it’s not difficult to understand what the previous commenter meant.

Come to think of it, why did Sony even bother designing a new controller for the playstation? Atari had that handled back in the 80’s so what good did they think they were doing.

EDIT: Holy hell I just realized how insane it was for Sholes, Soule, and Glidden to develop the QWERTY typewriter. We already had pens! What a waste of time!

Pretty sure they meant a controller designed for use while not hunching over a desk
