When I launched my indie game back in 2019, we didn't write paragraphs of text, but we did make sure everyone got credited for everything they did. We listed each person alphabetically and formatted them as "Name of Person" + Everything they did for the project.

Hmmm...
Ahsoka became my favorite Star Wars character with she walked away from the Jedi.
Even though Jedi are better to have around than Sith, I don't agree with their philosophy, and I really dislike the black and white approach to human nature.
But I hear what you're saying. 🙃

Yeah, we'd had ours since the 90s, I think. We had it in my house in 2003, when I moved my mother in w/ us for a while after she had a cerebral aneurysm. Back them, we had a TiVo, DVD player, & Wii hooked up to it. It's been in the guest room since we moved her to assisted living. Still worked fine.

Nice!
We had that exact same TV. When we moved from California to Washington in 2022, I gave it away to one of the people helping us fix up the house. (Those things are really heavy).

I hosted my first Friendsgiving in the early 2000s. I work in an industry that often requires people to relocate, generally a long distance. Our Friendsgiving was for all those who were unable or didn't want to go home or to their families for the Thanksgiving holiday.

I'm either hyper focusing on my daughter and her activities (almost 10, dancing/singing/acting/gymnastics/swimming/basketball/robotics) or over-focusing on work.

AND if you ran out of death insurance scrolls, you would die permanently. Based on the hourly rate and years played, most characters were worth thousands of dollars.

Gemstone III - text MuD that cost $3 USD/hour to play. If you died, monsters would pick up your weapons & shields, causing them to become more powerful. And if someone didn't heal your body before you were resurrected, you died again. 1/

Or original EverQuest... when you died, you lost experience and then levels (with no cap on the loss) and if you didn't have someone recover your corpse, you lost all your gear that you probably spent weeks camping for

Irregardless, Cyclops's heat vision can be used in such a way that you'll do another 360 on that thought.

I've been a little disconnected from Warner since they closed our studio in March, so it's hard to gauge what did or didn't happen. I know Jim's a very grounded person, though.

Yeah, I get it. Jim came up through the ranks as a comic book artist. That image in the post is one of his pieces, and he wants to keep work with the creative talent.

Jim's an amazing artist. This is his honest take on the situation.
