Well the more appropriate term is “gravid”.

Although there are many species of fish that give live birth and therefore are usually described as pregnant.

No, why you got fired does not in fact affect your need to eat food and house your family, so it’s not a factor.

And if you are “laid off”, ie the company says they don’t need your job anymore, you are usually entitled to a pretty nice redundancy payment too - plus the usual.

Also… what awesome displays? Does he think knight armour in museums has bones inside it?

lol.

What in the history of electronic entertainment makes you think that they’re done with doing the shitty thing now that they stopped doing it once?

If I remember correctly, yes. There was a pain in the ass a few years ago when Firefox switched from their own add-on system to one that matched Chrome’s, despite Firefox’s being more powerful and mature. The goal was to make it easier to port Chromes (arguably) greater variety of add-ons to Firefox.

It was an unpopular decision and it was the start of a downward decline for Firefox. People that had their browser “just the way I like it” found themselves starting fresh essentially, and without some of their favourite add-ons.

The number of people that do this is not going to even remotely shift the usage share percentage.

While it’s nice to have a development team that doesn’t have to chase every single possible dollar, and they might go on to make something even better, that final 10% part isn’t true.

With the game engine itself now finished, tested by millions of people, a huge amount of work has been done that feels wasted. Putting content into a game engine not only isn’t the hardest part (maybe is the most creative part, which can be… hard) but also is usually different people than the ones that create the engine. The engine itself literally has the content split such that another story can be dropped into it.

Maybe mods can pick that up if the process of adding a story get documented?

Maybe their next game will use the same engine, probably with tweaks if some of it is D&D fixated. So maybe rather than make a new D&D game they are starting from 70% into an un-chained RPG game. As an audience it is possible to be both disappointed by the decision not to create more of a thing we love and understanding and supportive of it at the same time. Music fans deal with this all the time. They’ve obviously earned a lot of trust.

“Rust Belt” isn’t literal, it refers to an area of the US where industrial manufacturing declined significant in the second half of the 20th century. It’s called that in part at least because its previous moniker was “Steel Belt”.

He’s a WWE Hall of Famer. I would not be surprised if he was blading.

Sometimes they even fight a War On Terror

Some of us live in functioning democracies where “switch to USB-D” won’t come with an “it’s illegal to give your son a name that wasn’t previous a job title” attachment.

A calorie is a unit of measurement. In terms of how much energy you are consuming, which is what matters for weight gain, there is literally no difference between one calorie and another.

“Empty calories” does have a meaning and it’s that something is ‘just’ calories with no additional nutrients. Not eating any nutrients will make you sick, but not obese.

I just hate the pathetic effort they put into the quotes. Sean Bean was a weird choice anyway (“what do people universally and forever like? Game Of Thrones I suppose!”) but then they had him read quotes from literal blogs and often quotes that shat all over the technology you’d just researched. Oh! I completed a wonder! I definitely want to hear a quote about how it’s obsolete now and its abandonment caused immense poverty in the Ruhr valley.

That and the movement towards nations instead of, yknow, Civilizations. Sorry Australia, you are not a Civilisation. Nor is Canada. Nor Scotland. How do we have Scotland - an independent country for less than 300 years - and not the fucking Celts.

I mean they fucking advertised it as such when I bought it

“Please sir, may I resist?”

The fuck does “won their union” mean?

Are you going to be brave enough to name and shame?
