Meh, that’s me. I don’t so much protest gentrification as much as I want to work to ensure my neighbors can continue to live here and reap the benefits themselves as the neighborhood improves. You can’t convince me that the people who have lived here for decades want to live in neglected, under-developed, under-supported, neighborhoods. They just don’t want to be forced out as change happens.

Another I just thought of is Legend of Grimrock.

No, shattered is better. I survive longer, anyway.

If someone asks me for “a few” I’ll give them three or four. If someone asks for “multiple” I’ll give them a handful and ask if that’s enough.

I don’t know where in the world this theory is coming from, but here, two would be “a couple” and three+ would be “a few.” Not that “a pair” (never just pair) and multiple aren’t used in other contexts, but you wouldn’t use pair and multiple in the same context. A pair is specific, multiple is an estimate.

The Avernum series, on Steam. There’s at least six.

All unions should be taking up the issue of the right to remote work.

Fuck outta here.

I mean, the whole point of layoffs, in any industry, is to get rid of more experienced staff who are higher paid, and replace them with noobs that you can pay less.

My adult son grew up on Minecraft. I think he was about seven when he started playing. By the time he was in middle school he was building working computers in it. He ran his own servers and met all his current friends there, from England and France and other US states. They don’t play it anymore.

I’ve only played a couple times myself, but I still follow the Minecraft account on Facebook, because it was something he was interested in, and because my job is tangential to children. Even I can see how much it’s moved toward Roblox and away from the creative sandbox it used to be.

I don’t think it was ever a game for adults OR for children, but I definitely think they’re making it for children now.

ITT: So many corporate apologists.

Who said anything about centralized control?

That’s a matter of access, not whether a sufficient amount of resources exist.

We’ve already reached post scarcity. Any current scarcity is manufactured.

Neither is this comment section.

Well, that’s better. But none of these that I’ve had to drive through have light-controlled merges. They haven’t had the barriers, either, but still more driving lanes than toll-booth lanes.

Off topic, but could someone ELIF why the lanes are all strictly partitioned right up until just before the booths, where they open into a free-for-all, with fewer booth lanes than there were partitioned lanes? How does this not lead to road rage, fist fights, and accidents, causing even more delays?

All you have to do is look at that thumbnail image to know the source is propagandist trash.

Those… those are exactly the same.

So naive.
