DO most employers want to get this right? Based on the fact that wage theft is the largest form of theft even with everything else combined, I think that's either a lie or a stupid thing to say.

Also, I just don't understand under what circumstances anyone should be exempt from overtime. Is there some group of people who are less deserving of getting paid for their time that I am unaware of? Even (shudder) managers should probably get paid.

A completely ridiculous lie on their part. What sane person would give /Microsoft/ any benefit of the doubt whatsoever? (nobody here so far, just saying in general) Microsoft owns insane cloud infrastructure and are also the publishers of the game. If there's a problem, it's one they chose not to address, not one that was simply "underestimated".

This is funny, but I think stereotypical vampire lore still stands. I think it's only direct sunlight that is an issue. If a vampire stands in a room with an open window, but off to the side, they're generally considered fine. If light reflected off a wall is ok then why is the moon not?

I hate dictator Trump as much as the next guy, but what he's saying here is 'they rigged the election in 2020, but now that means I get to host the Olympics during this term'. He's just keeping up the lie about how he lost to Biden

I don't entirely disagree with all of this persons points, but then they praise EGS and M$ as somehow better? Valve has plenty of issues, but they are definitely a shining beacon of light in contrast to the void that is pretty much any other storefront (GOG being an exception that they also recognize). Like, I agree that their promises of contingency plans regarding Steam DRM seem like a lie at this point, but every other store (except GOG) does this and Valve has done plenty of good for PC gaming otherwise. Steaminput works fine for me and I love that SteamOS is a viable alternative to M$, and all the good stuff is free.

One of my favorite games, Guild Wars 2, thought a lot about this when designing the Charr. A neat blog post from the artist talks about the female design down a bit

Pricing is definitely GPD's issue, but yes hardware issues as well. I have a Win Max 2, and it was neat at the time, but it costs way more than a Steamdeck and really isn't as powerful. When you play a game on it it runs so hot and the fans are like a jet engine. I pretty much use it as tiny laptop these days and use the Steamdeck for any real handheld gaming.

I'm really hoping that this was done in a way that lets someone just mod it back in trivially or something.

Also obligatory fuck nintendo. For so many reasons, including this.

It varies by location. The one near my house can hardly be bothered to fill the cup. One like an hour away I used to go to for work fills half the freaking bag.

Why is Pittsburgh the place to be for furries? I dunno, but I think it's great!

I actually agree, that could be pretty fun. That said this puts a lot of work / pressure on the DM so it is definitely something to be discussed rather than used to be lazy. (To be clear, I am not reading this into what you said. Just saying it out loud is all)

Regarding point 1, I have not checked but I would not be surprised if Flashpoint has them archived. They have so much. https://flashpointarchive.org/

A Gnome Artificer who was mute. It was interesting to use only visual langauge to communicate with people. I had a "system" where I could use the magic items / features you get from Gnome and Artificer to talk if I decided I really needed to, but I tried to limit that both for in universe reasons, and meta reasons. Kinda defeats the purpose if you can just magic your way out of it. The idea was that she was cursed by a fey creature, and could cheat a little bit with magic, but eventually the curse would hurt too much to talk more than a little. Eventually I started to feel like the trope of Nynaeve from The Wheel of Time, only replace hair pulling with glares and knowing smiles etc.

They look cool, but I am kind of disappointed about how expensive they are for plastic mugs. I also have a bit of a pet peeve about established companies using Kickstarter. But I like Ghost Ship so not too much shade.

Remember when they promised a modding API? I sure do.

Is this game still a mess? I really hope it gets fixed up at some point.

I have absolutely no evidence of this, but my first thought was "I wonder if this is some protest at how fucking dumb this all is"

I believe this does not work for Home. You can bypass it in Pro like this though. Unless something has changed I am not aware of.

I really really like this game, but is it ready for 1.0? Last I played a few months ago the simulation felt...lacking. The structure seems there, but things like NPCs walking around their apartments at all hours of the night make things difficult, as an example.

I think Valve banning him in this case is reasonable. It's an invite only free to play game. That said, clicking ok on some random text box is not a binding contract. Companies like to frame it like it is, but it's not.
