Arguably their biggest mistake was trying to fight both world superpowers at once, in the USSR and Great Britain backed by the US. I can't imagine how they thought that would go well, but thank fuck they did, cause I wouldn't want to see the world they envisioned.

Given that complex life as we know it is only about 500-600 million years old, around the time of the Cambrian Explosion, the only image that comes to mind is two Eukaryotic cells getting frisky, having a one replication stand, then parting ways

Elon Musk openly flouting the rules of the platform he owns to knowingly share misinformation to disparage a woman he doesn't like...

Tell me Elon is a right wing shill without telling me he's a right-wing shill

To be fair to the developers, they do elaborate a little further in the comments:

Hey everyone, We appreciate the sudden enthusiasm for our game. When we launched it in 2015 into early access and 2016 into full, we were at the vanguard of asymmetrical games. It was exciting, but it was also our first step down the Dunning Kruger curve. QL has bugs that we cannot fix, shaky net code and overall sloppy design. We left the game up for this long so that players who had friends that wanted to play, could still get a copy. However it has been 9 years with minimal to no activity. So we felt it was right to remove it now.

I don't know enough about this game or it's community to comment much, but the devs don't seem to be bad guys - seems like a story of naive developers making a mistake, but doing their best for their community with what they had. For a niche online game with no DLCs, 9 years is hardly a bad run.

I always get my hair cut at least a week before any special occasion purely for the reason that guy haircuts just need that grow in period. I've never met a non-bald guy who actually liked their hair cut straight out the barbers.

Russia started this when they ~~invaded~~ "performed a special military operation" on Ukraine - therefore Ukraine has the right to do whatever it needs to make Russia fuck off.

Hungary's and Slovakia's leaders are salty because they kept suckling on Russian oil rather than switching towards alternatives like other EU countries did - and now it's biting them hardcore in the backside.

Duh. The phrase is meant to mean an excess of money can't buy you happiness - having enough money to pay off what you need to, and being able to spend some on yourself without worrying where your next paycheck comes from will of course make you more happy!

Honestly I'm sick of living in interesting times, experiencing "once in a generation" financial crashes, or having to essentially helplessly watch a genocide take place in real time. I would have loved for us to live in a boring time where nobody would remember us outside a specific niche of archaeologists

These countries had two and a half years to stop sucking Putin's oily tit and they didn't, so while I feel sorry for the civilians caught in this crossfire, I don't feel even slightly sorry for their politicians.

I hate the idea of a president essentially being a monarch whilst in power, but I kinda do wish that Biden would do something to bite the anti-democracy members of the SCOTUS in the ass over this ruling

It's a tale as old as time for the right-wing... in the words of Bono, "Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you".

The right-wing doesn't know empathy past their nose, so as long as it's innocent Palestinians being killed in droves and not their own, they won't care two shits.
