Please, keep pissing off the military, sounds like a FAFO-prone strategy.

Tulsi Gabbard and Director of National Intelligence, what an oxymoron.

Agreed, you don't solve a problem with a strike without enumerating your revendications and objectives, there has to be a goal to meet. Otherwise you just get an angry mob that throws oil on the dumpster fire.

On the other hand, Jack Smith is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Either he winds down the case, and dismiss it without prejudice, hoping to open a new trial before the statute of limitation runs down during Trump's presidency, or he asks for a stay to freeze the statute of limitation countdown, but that gives the opportunity for Trump to hire a new special counsel, resume the trial and dismiss it with prejudice, not allowing this to be tried ever again.

Estwing hammers. Not excessively expensive, but the kind of hammer you buy for life.

I think it's unintentional, I've seen times where their servers were struggling and the game was unable to check if the spot was claimed by someone, and when it fails, the game assume the spot is free, leading to duplicate use of the same spot..

I wish the verification was more robust, but then if it would fail when there's a server downtime then nobody would be able to claim a land. You don't want to block a functionally as integral as building because of an outage..

A potential solution would be to check who first claimed the land, and the user who did it first keeps it whil the others are expropriated and need to rebuild somewhere else, but then there are edge cases to consider

  • if someone claimed the land while the servers were down, and someone claimed the same land while the servers were up, who has the valid claim?

The one who says they did it first with only a timestamp as the proof (maybe they set their system clock in the past to fake it), or the one who claimed it and has the proof in the servers?

Small screen, combined with poor/touch screen controls, and wanting to make money no matter what by pushing ads everywhere because no one wants to pay $10+ for a mobile software.

The only time I consider a mobile a game is when there is an ad-free option available.

I'd like to see more protections on that end, ie: auto-reboot if the SIM card is ejected, if not unlocked for X days, if network access is lost for X minutes, etc

The issue with politics is that you don't just have to address a problem, you also need to publicize what you did.

Maybe the dems did effectively address some problems, but they did a poor PR jobs out of it.

And therefore will be prime targets by the government to act as an identity broker for services with an online age requirement.

 

Hi, we've noticed some server instabilities around 9:20AM (Eastern Time) this morning and it seems our hosting provider had some issues, which lasted for about 40 minutes.

We also took the time to reboot the server after the event just to make sure we're not running into other issues down the road, sorry for the downtime everyone.

Hey, detectives!

Close those case files and drop your fingerprint scanner – we’ve got some important news you need to hear…

Shadows of Doubt is leaving Early Access on September 26th!

That’s right, our sandbox sleuth sim is getting a full release next month and it is coming to both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Check out the release date trailer below:

Prepare for major new content!

Our full launch comes with a big update that would make any private investigator twitch with intrepidation. We’ll be sharing more details on what to expect in the coming weeks, but for now, please take our word that there’s some really cool stuff coming your way!

We also wanted to give everyone a headsup that we are going to be increasing the price of the game from $19.99 to $24.99 on the 23rd of August. This won't affect anyone who already owns the game before then but will obviously mean the game is more expensive from then onwards.

In the meantime, come join us on Discord for the latest cases, updates and to chat with other likeminded detectives.

Talk soon!
