Thanks for the explanation. I'm sorry you had a bad experience working with them. Unfortunately, bad management and petty people problems don't go away just because it's open source. :(

Could you elaborate on this? I'm still distro shopping and know basically nothing about Mint's development history.

Is the city council under the impression that tourists will arrive, fail to find a tour guide, then just shrug and go home? I agree that tourist congestion has gotten worse in recent years (a friend of mine recently moved, citing this exact reason), but this is going to do exactly nothing to stop it.

It looks like this is the first game made by Weta. That gives me a lot of confidence they will get the right tone for the game. Hopefully this will be like a chill Animal Crossing in Middle Earth.

When I read "the wife", I read it as this. It feels impersonal, like you are intentionally distancing yourself from your spouse. Like, why would you do that unless you are literally Al Bundy?

Better yet, hire more before the workload increases so you aren't training newbies during crunch time.

Well, according to whatever panel was judging this competition, she had all of those things. But you weren't talking about that. You said she isn't "physically or genetically" Japanese, and that that was what "pagents are about".

It isn't called a genetics pagent. Beauty is already subjective enough without layering your myopic view of race on top of it.

Thank you for posting this. My introduction to CAD was trying out FreeCAD when I reached the limits of Adobe Illustrator's accuracy. The interface was so obtuse and difficult to work with I just gave up and assumed all CAD programs were like that. I'll give Link Branch a shot!

You're right of course about this being satire. My fear though is that things like this can fall out of the author's control very quickly, much like Pepe the Frog, and I really don't want gratch to be a catchall dog whistle.

Do you have any examples of this? Because my experience is the opposite. It's the perception that your group is normal, the "default", and tearing down all of these other groups using phrases exactly like the ones in the comic.
