Yes, the same conservatives who always complain about government red tape keeping anything from getting done and who also were offended by the government cutting through red tape and getting something done quickly when it was important.

Bunch of mediocre people really sweating right now.

This is an amazing game for just hanging out in all the locations of the whole trilogy, if the universe appeals to you. It’s the first game I 100%-ed in years. The silly tasks and puzzles were simple but they were a great excuse to hang out in that world.

Fuck off with this unhinged, unsupported rant. Prove it or stop posting it.

Dorsey is no longer involved with Bluesky.

I tried Jellyfin but I use the live TV section extensively and something about their implementation of the programming guide worked badly.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: No, and stop asking stupid questions.

I’ll use it for now while it’s good and ditch it if/when it enshittifies just as I ditched Reddit and Twitter. The mistake I won’t repeat is relying on it. If I have to bail, it won’t be difficult this time.

Oh word?

Nothing is strictly necessary, you can tell instead of show any aspect of a relationship. But if drama is going to show a representative cross section of what human relationships are like, sex will be a part of that like romance and friendship aspects are.

They’re more biologically necessary. They are less important to storytelling.

Drama is largely about character relationships and sex is a part of that. There’s rarely any drama to our necessary biological functions. Pooping can be part of a story’s plot like sex, just much less often.

The sex scenes that most mainstream dramas have traditionally had are brief and not explicit.

Sex is an important part of one’s life, bowel movements aren’t. (Hopefully)

Writing a story and having to make my characters not want to have sex because of the existence of an unrelated industry outside the context of their universe.

Striking out any gambling references in my stories because of the rise of online gambling.

Then I realize I’ve stupidly written scenes where my characters eat, having forgotten like a stupid hack how many restaurants there are in the real world.

No, dialup was still common in the early days of Steam, game content was not largely being delivered as downloads yet and discs were still useful because it could not yet be taken for grated that a customer would be always online.

But I’d still rather download a game straight from the developer or publisher without an additional middleman. Privacy aside, the cost of that rent seeking from Steam gets passed along to you.

Before Steam you bought a physical disc and it didn’t matter that you technically only purchased a license, the disc was yours and nobody was coming to your house to take it away if the publisher started fighting with the developer or whatever.
