If you call it a “male immaturity epidemic,” a very different set of phenomena come into focus, as this thread shows
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

It's kind of incredible that Rockstar leadership willingly put a target on their own backs like this.
They didn't have to fire 30+ union organizers, but I'm guessing they did not expect this much of a response when they did.

Lovely to see PC Gamer covering Tavern Keeper. Big thanks @chrislivingston.bsky.social www.pcgamer.com/games/sim/ev...
Even in early access, Tavern Keeper already feels like the fantasy pub sim of my dreams
It's been in development for over a decade, and all that hard work really shows.
