Harmful AI responses by "contacenating the letters"
I see I woke up in that timeline today where we use fancy words to seem fancy. How fancy.
1. You spelled it wrong.
2. The word is used appropriately and would require a handful of other words to replace itself.
3. Imagine what the world would be like if we just looked up the word, learning what it means, instead of just making fun of something we don’t yet know.

Look at current top sellers, ain't a single big corpo behind it.
OK.
*looks at current top sellers*
Bro?
1) Counter-Strike 2 = big corp
2) HELLDIVERS 2 = yes, small corp
3) Dragon's Dogma 2 = big corp
4) Steam Deck = hardware from a big corp
5) PUBG = yes, small corp
6) BG3 = big corp
7) Cyberpunk 2077 = big corp
8) EA Sports FC24 = big corp
9) Rainbow Six Siege = big corp
10) RDR 2 = big corp
So, excluding the Steam Deck as hardware, we have a score of 7 to 2 in favor of BIG corps.
You, Sir, are wrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooonnnnnnnngggg!

what burns me is that not a single investigative outlet of note has picked up on this scam.
This is not the first time that a game has been delayed.
Employees are getting paid, the game is getting made, and people are playing alpha versions of it.
It's not like CIG is Boeing, I doubt there's going to be whistleblower testimony.

Their DLC improves the base game for those who don't buy the DLC via the free patches, as opposed to most companies that kneecap those who don't pay for the DLC. Entitled much?
No, it does not. I am a day one owner of Stellaris with over 5000 hours of play time and it has arguably gotten worse over the course of those "free" updates. We went from three different travel types to one. We lost the ability to actually develop planets to a "district" system which is opaque and abstract. The diplomacy system is a bad joke with NPC players making and breaking treaties like they're changing underwear. The "random" events aren't. For example, when I master and open an L-Gate, at least 70% of the time it's the Grey Tempest. Then there are the entire subsections of the game that have been ripped out over time to make way for DLC that were perfectly fine on their own.
Honestly, if it wasn't for the mod community, I would have left this game in the dust long ago due to the butchering Paradox has put it through.
Call me "entitled" if you want, but I think 5309 hours gives me experience rather than entitlement.

Are we supposed to be racist against Russians now? I guess I didn't get that memo. Those of you who don't like America, do you hate me as well?

And yes, the wiki entry was falsified to hide this.
Wow, that's lame. Going to have to do even more selective purchasing going forward and pay even more attention to which games these guys are developing/publishing.
Due to the sanctions, I would assume that the Russian studios have officially "relocated" to a letter box in Cyprus as most other Russian businesses who want to continue doing business with us evil NATO oppressors who forced this war upon Russia?
As a reminder, Saber Interactive is formally an American company headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. But we remember well that the company was founded in 2001 in St. Petersburg. The St. Petersburg office is still actively working on Saber games. In addition, Saber Interactive includes the Russian studios Bytex (Saransk) and SmartPhone Labs (Veliky Novgorod), as well as the Belarusian Saber Interactive Belarus (Minsk).

The fact that you can choose a non-Boeing flight on travel sites now is just mindblowing. Boeing would deny it, but we all know why that feature was put in and which name and models are checked by a great many people.

I read the article mostly because I didn't know what CISA is. But while reading it I noticed that the budget proposed by the Prez (no relation) is 7.3 trillion. I mathed a little and discovered that just the top 3 richest tech companies' net worth exceeds the proposed budget of the wealthiest country in the world for a year. Read what you want into that. I know it makes me shake my head in disbelief and horror.
