Argentina’s Javier Milei accused of plagiarising UN speech from West Wing in c/world

Exactly. Every contemporary US libertarian I’ve come across is a fervent right wing supporter that wants legal weed.

That’s a great point and a very poignant reason for why patient gaming is important.

I think I was personally focusing on the saving money part!

Great point. Completely agree this applies to any niche games or even any niche market as a whole.

My personal connection and the reason I posed this is me considering whether or not to pay full price for the fate/stay remaster as well as the tsukihime release.

That’s a great point and I never looked at it as a dichotomy.

However, bugs aren’t something I typically run into due to the nature of the simplicity of VNs. It’s more of a question of do I give max support to my favorite developers or spread the support around in hopes of finding new projects from different developers besides my favorite.

The way you laid it out though helps me ask the question of which of those two is more important to me.

Asking the real questions!

So I have a philosophical gaming question for you.

Visual novels are admittedly pretty niche in the gaming market as a whole.

If they don’t sell well enough sequels don’t happen.

So, as a patient gamer, do I pay full price for these games to support further development even though that means buying less games.

Or do I wait till they go for deep discount like I have been and have therefore been able to spread my limited support around more.

If my end goal is making sure these games keep being made as much as possible, what’s my best option?

I am all for the patient gaming mentality and typically wait until games are 50%+ off before I think of purchasing.

Looking for opinions on my best course of action. Thanks!

Alabama executes death-row prisoner with nitrogen gas in c/news

We now have 3D printed euthanasia pods for people that elect to do so. First successful case was very recent. I don’t feel that adding some restraints would be a major hurdle.

If the death penalty unfortunately sticks around, this seems like a humane, cheap way to do so.

I agree that nitrogen can be used for a peaceful euthanasia. Definitely not the way they are doing it though.

I’m having trouble finding the link this moment but I remember reading about a ~~billionaire or ceo~~ public figure who is addicted to this game saying that productivity around the world will crash once this game was released on mobile platforms.

Edit: not some billionaire ceo. It was this link I was remembering:

I’ve seen the whole thing. Better fight scenes would improve it but it would still remain a major stinker. Zero desire to watch again.

He got stuck in the Metaverse. Shame.

Apparently they filmed everything thinking it would be R rated but changed it to PG13 during editing so a lot of combat footage was too violent for usage.
