You'd be surprised by the number of ads you see that were created by a dude who grabbed a bottle of whiskey, did some cocaine, and locked himself in his office for the night.
Actually, based on the quality of the ads out there, maybe you wouldn't be surprised at how they come up with them...
The US economy literally depends on 3-4% of the workforce being so desperate for work that they'll take any job, regardless of how awful the pay is. They said this during the recent labor shortage, citing how this is used to keep wages down and how it's a "bad thing" that almost 100% of the workforce was employed because it meant people could pick and choose rather than just take the first offer they get, thus causing wages to increase.
Poverty and homelessness are a feature, not a bug.
I've seen Christmas stuff for sale before Halloween stuff in stores before.
Hell cannot exist after death because we are already living in it.
I stopped finding this as funny when I learned that some of the "leaks" have been stuff like a person quoting a Wikipedia entry on a WW2 tank, or a recent one where somebody quoted an internationally available manual for a jet.
Still hilarious though that it's such an issue that "Do you play War Thunder" is a question asked by the US military in job interviews.
Sheer spite is a perfectly valid reason to continue to get out of bed in the morning.
Nobody on their deathbed has ever said, "I wish I spent more time in the office."
A battle you don't have to fight is a battle won. But if you do have to hurt somebody, hurt them bad enough that they won't get back up. Otherwise, they're very likely to come right back at you.
Yup, it's the same old song of fascists and cultists.
"Are you lonely, sad, angry, or just generally dissatisfied with your life? Have you tried blaming your problems on a minority with less power in society than yourself? Act now, and I'll throw in a second minority, free!*"
*Just pay shipping and handling.
Which dev did you write your check to?
I think part of it is that it's a single-player RPG (or co-op if you want) with a focus on the story experience. No mmo-lite features, battlepasses, always online requirements, live service, etc. bloat to be found. A concept that the current AAA market seems to be allergic to.
It says what it is on the tin and delivers that. That's a breath of fresh air for many people right now.
Also, there was that whole drama with devs complaining about how BG3 was going to ruin it for everybody else by making gamers expect a higher quality product from studios. Which isn't really what those devs were saying, but it's what it came off as to people, and that probably gave the game a lot more positive attention than it probably otherwise would've gotten.
There's a screenshot elsewhere in the comments of him saying he was specifically removing transphobia and homophobia as punishable offenses from the rules because those rules "were being used to silence conservative voices." That's a pretty clear stance to me.
As a wise bartender once said, "If you allow one Nazi, you no longer have a bar. You have a Nazi bar."
Damn right! I was jealous of these kids who had the courage to express themselves how they wanted and explore their identities outside of what was deemed "socially acceptable" back then, and I will fight tooth and nail for kids to be able to do the same today, even if I don't exactly understand what's "it" nowadays.
They just need to get through this week
