  • They also leave out half of the story: The whole thing already started in October. After months of harassment one of the employees snapped and called their shit out. But they leave that part out, claim they got attacked out of nowhere and play the victims.

    Thanks. Corrected.

  • Thanks. Corrected it.

  • The cruelty is the point.

  • Clearly, the solution is more cops. /s

  • I am very troubled by this inaccurate depiction of...

  • Sure, the death of the live service hype plays a role, too, but in my view it is mostly due to the gravy train of cheap money coming to a halt: Lots of companies are scaling back because they had funded themselves with loans while laundering profits through tax havens. Gaming companies are not much different from tech companies and media companies in this regard. Those are also in hot water ATM and fire people in order to stabilize their cash flow.

    At the end of the day, gaming companies are going to invest far less in the future. Games such as "Spider-Man 2" and other AAA titles with exorbitant budgets will become rare. This has been a trend for years.

    Thus I am rather certain that 2023 was one of the last years where we have seen a strong line-up of high quality, high budget titles alongside indie success stories.

  • I wonder if 2023 will go down as one of the last good years for gaming (and even that only works if you ignore all the layoffs that already happened).

  • As far as I understand it, the studios are trying a different angle: They are not suing Reddit this time, but an ISP and want Reddit to provide the data of costumers of that ISP.

  • Sheesh! Not everything a toddler says is plagiarizing the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It must at least included the word "California".

  • Consider getting a coloscopy.

  • To add to what krellor already mentioned: It's hard to find one definitive image of a specific Greek deities, because they were worshipped over hundreds of years and not only in Greece, but also in Greek colonies (for example Sicily) and places that were heavily influenced by Greek culture (for example around the Black Sea). Most of these places had their own particular interpretation of what a Greek deity was or wasn't.

    So it was no contradiction that Artemis could be a "man hating, out lesbian" in one place and an "aro-ace ascetic" in another. Unlike in modern monotheism, there was no overarching dogma people could refer to and places often had their very own myths and stories about the deities. Only some of those have survived until today.

    So our modern interpretation of Greek deities is something of a puzzle with many pieces missing and no way to confirm if the pieces that we have ever were part of the same picture in the first place.

  • Others have already written a lot about their experience and therefore I will keep it short. One thing that made a big difference for me was that feelings like the ones that you are describing are certainly normal - to an extent. But when all of them come together, then there is "something there". No smoke without a fire, so to speak.

    There is a little game "What's your gender?" that helped me. It's short. If you have a little time, I recommend checking it out.

    Wherever you may go, may Blahaj be with you!

  • For me it was the anime and quite the opposite feeling in regards to hot water...

    But yeah, OP is right (name checks out), Ranma's comedic treatment of gender is doing stuff to the minds of unsuspecting eggs.
