I mean, Ubisoft has been publishing the series for at least 14 years. It's pretty solidly theirs. They'd have to willingly give it up.

I don't think it necessarily excludes sex workers, it's just one of those terms that means more than the literal words. For example, just because it's not safe for work, doesn't mean it is then safe for all other situations, like a dinner with extended family.

If you wanted to redo the term to be more literally accurate, I suppose you could say "About or Depicts a Subject that you would rather not have to explain or openly reveal to someone whose beliefs or relationship with you are not casual enough to ensure that, without a doubt, their comfort with you will remain the same after being exposed to your viewing of said content, either in a professional or publicly social setting"

I am honestly not sure how to make that any shorter while encompassing all of what I feel NSFW has truly come to represent for society. It's similar, though not identical, to other words that may have originally meant one thing, but have come to mean another through the years.

I'm suspicious that they were 7 last year given their conduct here today.

If you work around forklifts, never trust the driver. Ideally they're being safe and watching out for you, but don't gamble on it. They're heavier than a car and can very easily kill you or at the least break your foot and it will be an arduous healing process.

Recording the last song with my band before departing from them. Bittersweet, but it's a change I needed.

That's interesting, I like playing those because the entire pathway is often unique to me, what about them makes you not curious to know your own path?

I read the first two sentences and diggy diggy hole started playing in my head. Thank you for that. I haven't decided if I'm being sarcastic yet.

I like psychologically interesting movies, though my favorites aren't necessarily all like that. Some big ones for me:

Spirited Away - Miyazaki film about a girl who stops off at an abandoned amusement park while driving to a new house with her parents, who eat food meant for spirits and become pigs. She is unable to escape and ends up in the spirit world, enslaved by a witch who controls a spirit bathhouse as the protagonist attempts to rescue her parents and escape

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - a man and woman break up in a very lightly sci fi world where it's possible to erase people's memories, and they choose to erase each other and inevitably the man regrets it as it's happening in his mind

Perfect Blue - animated Japanese film about an Idol who tries to escape Idol life by becoming an actress, which is an incredibly difficult and stressful process as she deals with a stalker and the film/TV industry at the same time. As the movie continues she becomes so stressed and tired that the lines between reality and the films she's in begin to blur together and she starts to lose grip on reality.

21 and 22 Jump Street - FUCK they're just well written and well executed comedy.

Probably Mythos, Heroes, and Troy written and read by Stephen Fry. He writes Greek Mythology in a digestible, entertaining, but still information dense way, and he's an excellent narrator, of course.

Oh no, you're correct there, it's just sort of a shame that they took an otherwise pretty level tweet and then made the headline sound like he was being dismissive

I mean, the article is just 70% quoting the guy's tweet, it's barely an article.

Oh no, I'm not talking about how deeply interesting the name is. Just the fact that the cat has the word anus in its name.

Edit: I also sound pretty judgmental in my comments about this game. I do genuinely want it to be good! I just feel it's an easy trap for a game to be so directly influenced as it draws high comparisons. I assume the devs know what they're getting into there, so I hope they pull it off on release! Lots of games have high level similarities that don't mean much when you're in the nitty gritty of playing it. I hope it's the case here.
