  I disagree that it can only be romantic attraction.

  For example, I can find a random person attractive if they’re displaying a skill they’re proficient in, talking passionately about a subject they’re knowledgeable in, or freely enjoying themselves. And all without feeling any kind of romantic inclination towards them.

  It’s primarily sexual despite the fact it’s not necessarily physical

  I’m definitely not old (~30), and my preference has generally been my age +/- 5 years.

  As I’ve gotten older, I’ve noticed that my sexual attraction has migrated from being solely based on physical attributes to being partially based emotional connection, intelligence, passion, etc.

  I think it’s also important to note that an individual’s “peak attractiveness” can occur at different stages of their life.

  Under this running metaphor, that’d translate to Communism. Which I absolutely think would be beneficial if we could just adopt it today, but I don’t think the western world as a whole is ready for that transition.

  Under Capitalism, the best we can hope for is employees

  I think you’re right, he sees the US people as customers rather than employees though.

  And a Casino aims to extract as much money as possible from it’s customers.

  If only the US had a businessman in charge that could fix all of the economic problems of the country, damn the social unrest. Exactly what the republican voters were asking for…

  Of the game? The hunting has always been my favourite aspect, although I’d say the world building is objectively the best part of the game.

  Of your screenshots? The way the light filters through the branches in the first one and the shadows they create

  Thanks for the advice.

  Yeah, I completely understand that it’s not gonna be as popular as Reddit immediately, but I know that if I felt the need to jump ship, other people will too.

  I’m most just searching through All and sorting by new ATM trying to find some interesting things to read about and topics to discuss

  Seconded. In most cases people tend to become what they see most often

  Who’s going to start putting together the dictionary of evil acronyms?

  Such an incredible game, and utterly beautiful. Perfect to show off in screenshots like this

  I first saw this news over on Reddit, immediately searched for an alternative. Got home from work and now here I am
