  Yeah. Like I get what OP is saying but the fact is that serial killers are generally less hazardous on a global level than your average lawn care company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity apologizes and updates their infamous Runtime Fee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Each one of these placating statements from them expressed sorrow for not listening/communicating more with their consumers, but I can’t help noticing a conspicuous lack of apology to their own employees.

  Like, stop acting as if this is out of a clear blue sky and you’re simply course-correcting in good faith. Your own people told you this would happen. My trust in Unity is gone until they address this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Striking WGA resumes negotiations with studios⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I totally agree that streaming residuals are going to be the skeleton that any deal builds on. But until the Streamers are compelled to be transparent with their viewer data, it won’t be a good faith offer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Striking WGA resumes negotiations with studios⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just waiting for the sweetener Hollywood adds in this time. Maybe they’ll work in an increase on the minimum number of bathroom breaks allowed to extras and grips.

  Lots of shower thoughts actually aren’t. This was. Good job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity adding a fee for devs for each time a game is installed, after certain thresholds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Short term profits making quarterly reports look better to stakeholders. Isn’t that how 80% of these bigwigs get their job in the first place? We should be calling it the Zaslav Model at this point 😂.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Good call. Gotta keep them in sight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“We’re not ‘gatekeepers,’” Apple and Microsoft tell European Union⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Obviously Apples claim is complete bullshit but damn ya gotta feel a little for Microsoft tho, right? Like they’ve been trying to capture the search engine market with Bing for so long and only after being crushed by Google, they’re being accused of succeeding 😂.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SAG-AFTRA votes unanimously to expand its strike to include the games industry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. Once I realized the distinction, tho, I’m still happy. Having the authorization in hand when negotiating, especially after taking into account the current double strike, will presumably give them more leverage than ever. I’m cool not having any new media for a couple years if it saves the industry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saints Row Reboot is Awesome⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, multiplayer is something I rarely touch so I can’t have an informed opinion on that element. That sucks for you, tho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saints Row Reboot is Awesome⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly this. I love the characters. I’m having a blast with them. Thank you for understanding that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saints Row Reboot is Awesome⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, just honestly sick of all the hate I see for it and this is about my only social platform. Simple as that.

  So not shadow banning so much as putting feeds thru a kaleidoscope 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The mist Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  People should leave “y’all” alone. It doesn’t belong to anyone. It is a natural contraction of “you” and “all” that several cultures have independently produced as part of their vernacular.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I allowed to use a VPN with Steam?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I exclusively use a VPN with everything and have done so for years. If steam has an issue, they have yet to inform me lol.

  On a serious note tho, there is an issue if you use a VPN to access store prices for a country outside your own. Regional pricing means that some people game the system and Valve rightfully cares about that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Small children are well known to be afraid of voids (closets, under the bed) in their sleeping area. Knowing this, why don't we design children's rooms to eliminate them?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  When you buy a house, closets are just there. You could take the doors off, I suppose, but closets are just a thing. As for the void under the bed, that is a feature and not a bug. Yes, it may allow for a fear of what’s under the bed. It’s also an inherent defense against the actual bugs on the floor that would otherwise crawl up the child’s bed.

  Basically, the answer isn’t to change the standard child’s bedroom but to instead work around it. Take the doors off the closet if it scares them. Check under the bed every night and maybe put their “bravest” stuffed animals under there for protection. But rooms are rooms. Blocking off a closet and putting the kid’s mattress on the floor is not the answer lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What is your go-to movie that you will never turn down?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Drop Dead Gorgeous

  It is regularly quoted and watched in my household.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is wrong with some of you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s from the French who took it from a poem about Greek gods. So the Christians stole from the pagans yet again lol.
