"It enables player choice" as a reason for skill trees. Sure. Sometimes.

But its often not a meaningful choice. Most games allow you to buy the full tree as you play. So you're not choosing if, just when.

If your goal is an easy to learn game with a real shot at commercial success? Yes, id say you're alone. The advantages of a primary mechanic repeating throughout the game are enormous.

However, not every game needs to be easy to learn and isnt seeking commercial success.

It's difficult to imagine someone being found guilty and sentenced to prison for this, and it's not signed into law yet in any case. But, just...JFC.

Maybe down the road in 5-6 years 1-3 of the kids join the New Republic and we get a story about that. Wim training to be an XWing pilot or KB becoming an engineer studying ancient technology.

Anyway, absolutely loved the show. Let Jon Watts keep doing whatever he wants in Star Wars.

For instance, more Kh'ymm in everything. A standalone Jod mini that puts him on a path to join Luke's academy, or challenge it would be fun. And if they do some sort of New Republic-focused show, having an episode visit At Atin and those characters again would be great.

Would be? They're probably going to confirm him. It's sadly a "will be" situation.

I think the problem is everyone assumed one of the other institutions would hold Trump to account, because the alternative, that our institutions might not hold, was unthinkable. Garland thought the American people wouldn't elect him, so he wouldn't have to make the hard choice.

Unfortunate. Tragic

There's just so much fun design space for a character like Charles Xavier that could take the game in strange new directions.

Hey, I'm here for a floating mobility chair zipping around the map. Or...you know...maybe his chair never leaves the spawn area, and instead he runs an Astral plane version of the map, untouchable by most attacks, but also unable to capture points unless he's making an enemy see their team as enemys

Not all words are created equal, either. Some stuff might write faster or slower for a given freelancer based on the setting and rules knowledge they walk onto the job with.

Yeah. I mean the upside is the licensed IP presumably has a built-in audience you have a means to market and sell your game to. If all of that isn't true, well, congrats on being wealthy enough to run that passion project at a loss.
