I like that the chestplate accentuates the chest while still being practical (no breast valley that focuses blows towards the sternum).

The Rune Factory series might be worth your while. Originally a Harvest Moon spinnoff that developed its own identity as a Farming/RPG hybrid. 4 is a good starter, and you don't need to play previous entires to understand the story.

Investors.

I gurantee you DRM, microtransactions, and gambling are in your games because the the pack of Wall Street suits who sit at the tippy top of your studio's hierarcy chain don't give a shit about video games beyond 'another industry where line goes up.'

Someone also said in the same thread the KI devs, when they said they would listen to the community for balance, just had CCs try to influence them into nerfing the things they didn't like instead of finding counterplay. This further proves that FG players will do anything but play FGs.

Stress does damage the body. But I think it's also important to know if that stress is coming from not achieving what you want to or not achieving what you ought to, if that makes sense. And sometimes changes in the body require an adjustment of expectations which can be rough.

The number of people writing dissertations calling the game 'unfinished' for having weightless movement and weak animations either have extremely high standards or I'm old and can remember when 3D action games looked 10x worse.

Plus, if you're looking to tinker, the Steam Deck is right there for way cheaper.

It's a worldview thing.

They don't believe people can function without a big powerful group or person influencing them. So if people respect minorities, its not because they value the will of others, but because a shadowy cabal of radical-leftists told them to. Which then justifies GOP corruption.

I was told that Bluesky is not currently and doesn’t want to be put in a position where payment processors can dictate content policy on their platform, rather specifically. Same with advertisers.

Specifically, they told me that the primary intent of the language people felt were intended to go after furries was to be able to take down ai/deepfake content intended to look like “the real thing” quickly.

A lot of FGs now-a-days are designed for solo rankers and don't really offer a social space in the same way locals do. All the while locals are dwindling or being absorbed by other groups that may not be as accessible as the event that was lost.

Isn't the focus on engagement how Twitter became slop in the first place?

Ragebait and inflammatory posts drive engagement best because they exploit human psychology. High user engagement = easier to monetize via ads. You're jumping straight into the shitty part without the monetary incentive.

Charlie Kirk owned TPUSA PAC. You can search who it has paid out here: www.fec.gov/data/disburs...

They aren't covering the loss of a person to them. They're covering the loss of a paypig slaughtered before it could be groomed into a multi-decade long megabillionaire donor.
