But you don’t understand! It’s not straightforward!

They totally care about the employees there. It’s definitely not about the profit they made that had them paying 33m in taxes to Russia last year.

I’m sure they offered to relocate the employees and not you know, just leave them working in the country to get conscripted.

LOOOOOOL. Did he just snag the dated and always terrible logo from Xorg and think it was cool and modern?

Putting salt in coffee is relatively common. Put a very small sprinkle in shitty coffee and it makes it a lot more tolerable. Think bad waiting room coffee etc.

Easy. Pay yourself 1 million dollars to wash a dish.

That wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing. Someone wrote a good article about how Google bullied their way to kill XMPP. Something to keep in mind with what Meta is planning.

Let’s release a bunch of people we imprisoned and then send them to……. a mercenary group? I’m sure they’ll be veeeery loyal.

If they’re able to pick up Russian soldiers as they go things could steam roll quickly. Otherwise it will at least be a massive distraction for Russia while Ukraine recovers territory.

Wow this shit is rapidly unfolding. News and events are going to be pretty interesting in the coming weeks. Hopefully Putin doesn’t do anything drastic in Ukraine or abroad.

I very rarely kickstart board games (I let my friends do that lol). I kick started Dead Cells mainly because I’ve wanted a good coop Roguelik/te board game for a while that’s actually fun to play. It looks like they put a lot of thought into the game systems fun and unique and it’s not just an attempt to 1:1 make a roguelike that won’t translate well because no one ones to get together to repeat the exact same content over and over.

That and I absolutely love Dead Cells.

Brass scales surprisingly well. You can tell the designers put a lot of effort into it. So it’s not like one of those 4 player games with a 2-3 player shoe horned in.

My friend and I learned the rules by just doing a two player game which made it a smoother process. You could try doing that with it and then when you bring it to a larger table you have the rules digested already.

Sorry I have to laugh at this. If you have to write a script for it even if the script is easy there’s no way I can consider it “not hard”. Not hard is just being able buy it like anything else.

I get what you’re saying though.

Yeah, all i want is it to be active enough. Having less users is a selling point to me. Using the internet way back in the day was the same way. You had to put effort in, and the people that are willing to put the effort in are less likely to trash the place.
