The combat has to be turn-based or it becomes an ARPG like Diablo/Dungeon Siege/Titan Quest/Torchlight

SV: One of the basic questions of the game was whether you would become a monster if it would save the world. So that's where you get that in that moment. And then the interesting bit was, well, if you're not going to do it, are you going to ask someone else to do it, or you just going to say, "F*ck everybody?" That's essentially what that moment was.
Yep. My first playthrough was as Karlach with a strict code of no non-consensual body mods ever again and no giving baddies power, so when I got to that choice the only true thing I could choose was "F*ck everybody" with the automatic loss dialog box. Oh well
My current playthrough is as Astarion with a slightly more flexible moral code. Of course, now I've gone for the brainworms and I'm regretting it simply for the visual effects on the skin
Not sure if you are trolling, but no
Meta is joining the Fediverse not because it needs the people currently on the Fediverse, but because it needs a regulatory figleaf to protect itself from monopoly charges. At Meta's scale, there are 0 users on the Fediverse right now. There is no market benefit to getting Fediverse people to move to Meta
What Meta gets out Threads/Fediverse compat is that suddenly Instagram is not technically a walled garden with platform lock-in, so while the number of people who'll migrate from Instagram Threads to the Fediverse is going to be tiny they suddenly look a lot less like a mean monopoly to regulators
At some point they might remove the Fediverse compat. The people currently screaming about embrace-extend-and-extinguish because Meta is joining will then scream about bait-and-switch even though they've had Threads defederated the whole time. The Fediverse will still be there. That's the cycle of life
Removing things is not sufficient for removing bias. Omission is a kind of bias. You can lie by cherry-picking just some of the truth and skipping the rest
They set it for me in Canada, so they are lying there
I like my 2012 electric stove. I don't notice any difference in cooking experience when I use my parents' gas stove at their place, except the flames require more aggressive ventilation
The price is right. See Price Discrimination: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/price_discrimination.asp
If you don't find the humour funny, it's not going to work for you. It's half humour, half love letter to trek. Star Trek meets Futurama
To some extent, the characters have to be hyper and heightened because they have to fit a Star Trek episode in under half an hour
Is it going to be like Whatsapp end-to-end encryption where they just rolled out a 4-digit pincode for "backups" on their servers as the third end?
Latvia is wrong. Russia annexed a Latvian county in 1944, and the border dispute wasn't settled de jure until 2007
Thanks Disney. Good job having bought all the studios
