The Epic First Run programme allows developers of any size to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make their game exclusive on the Epic Games Store for six months....
Eh if people want to use the epic launcher that’s their choice. I think it’s a worse user experience than steam so even with a bunch of free games idk if that many zoomers would use it exclusively. But maybe you’re right.
I’m much more worried about what happens when Gaben dies and who takes over after him. I can see a future where Epic drops ungodly amounts of money to aquire steam.

It’s not surprising his password had been yourefired. Its surprising he used the correct “you’re”. Although i guess technically it would have been more secure to include the special character. Haha
I feel like I wrote this post from time to time on Reddit and I think I’ll start this tradition here. I’m. a Honor Harrington fan. I’ve read several other space operas and they always fall short.

Even if you don’t think you’re into Warhammer 40k you should check out the books. There’s 100’s of them and are actually very good. I put them off for a long time because i thought they’d just be battle porn. They are well written with compelling narratives, great characters, a sprawling galaxy full of different aliens and factions, and of course the aforementioned war porn.
If you are hesitant like i was, i recommend starting with the first three books in the Horrus Heresy. There’s like 40 something of them but the first three you could read and put down satisfied without continuing if you wanted.
I always list the three books out for people because there’s so many it’s easy to get lost looking for them.
Horrus Rising, False Gods, Galaxy in Flames
As for a non-opera book, I highly recommend Seven Eves. I don’t think i saw it in your post. But you had a long list so forgive me if i missed it. It’s one book, pretty long though and one of my GOATS.
Children of time was amazing. What a unique, interesting concept. The following books were good too but for me didn’t live up to the first one. Which is okay, i still liked all of them.
I’m not. Prince was awesome. He changed his name to a symbol because Warner Bros trademarked his name and wouldn’t let him do what he wanted with his own music. People started calling him The Artist Formally Know as Prince. But the reason was ignored and everyone made fun of him.
Musk is an idiot and loser and shouldn’t be even tangentially compared to Prince.

I’m no expert but i see a lot of people yelling about this $250 fine. Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t it make sense if the fine was just the cost of the permit they were supposed to have. If they are criminally liable they’ll probably end up in court over it. But i doubt the city has the authority to hand out the massive fines the studio probably deserves.
I didn’t read Animal Farm in school but i did really enjoy it as an adult. Social commentary aside, i love the way Orwell tells a story. Even though you know the characters are doomed you can’t help but root for them and have hope they’ll be okay or even win in the end. Which of course makes the revelations all the more heartbreaking.
Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and...
To add to that. A popular recess game among grade schoolers (like 10 year olds!) was Smear the Queer. I can’t remember the rules exactly but i think it was essentially tag but rougher.
I guess it's a damn good game rule (files.catbox.moe)
