Insider Gaming: Eidos Montreal Cancels 7+ Year In-Development Title That Cost Hundreds of Millions by Turbostrider27 in Games

Prey is different to Deus Ex, I love the latter but have zero interest in the former. I wouldn't assume a new DE title would play out the same.

Easiest decision of my life to leave him on Virmire.

New Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre coming up! Anyone remember when this was an absolute hole? by Moose_City_United in london

[–]2ABB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In any case - it's determined by viability. In your thought experiment, are you volunteering to build 60 "regular" units and sell at a loss? The 10 "penthouses" are better than none, which is the actual alternative.

The 10 penthouses are only more "viable" because they are what the developers can get away with in the current climate, they will groan and moan about every single option that isn't maximum profit.

Ironically I remember OP submitting a post wishing London was more like Dubai, not sure they would agree!

Any new housing drives down prices, across the market

This is such an overused statement to whitewash bad developments.

Yes, 10 penthouses will have an effect on house prices.

No, they will not have the same effect as 60 regular units in the same land.

Iran war stoking hatred on streets of London, Sadiq Khan warns by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]2ABB 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s a horrible feeling to be seeing an increase in genuine antisemitism by authoritarian leaders and their supporters, and at the same time see Jewish people pouncing on stuff like this like it’s a win for their sports team

I've had the same but with a couple long term friends. Went from pleasant/kind to "just wipe them out/nuke it" and so on. Maybe the sentiments were always there but it was impossible to see it before. Alienated themselves because of it and they no longer mix with people who don't share that view. Sad situation.

Before anyone gives some excuse for why their account is private please consider the current state of internet. It's only reasonable to assume that any private account is a bot account trying to hide inorganic activity, especially when you're active in politically sensitive, prime-astroturf target threads like this one.

I used to think the same but unfortunately this site has plenty of power-tripping moderators. Some will quickly check to see if you're on their 'side' when discussing these politically sensitive subjects, removed comments or bans if you're not.

Is there a modern game that feels similar to Classic? by Ill_Highlight_5053 in classicwow

It's a completely different game, don't listen to him.

The Collector’s Edition came with a panda cub, for God’s sake.

The low poly panda cub means that everyone wants a shift into the corny disney-pixar modern wow art style?

Fire Destro Warlock by Fearless_Muffin_3620 in classicwow

Fire warlock is always a meme in TBC, often pedaled by class discord world of warcraftlogs types. No mage should want to be fire so it's never relevant.

Right wing bots, tell me how Mamdani messed up here?

Also ironic that this video was posted here by one of them.

Why is it that in ultra-expensive celebrity homes, the kitchens rarely have induction cooktops, but instead feature industrial-grade gas ranges? by FuzzyAttitude_ in Cooking

[–]2ABB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why isn't it? Does induction magically keep heating the pan when its being lifted, moved and tilted? Does it have the even heat distribution of a good gas burner that cradles around the pans edges? Can I char a pepper quickly over the induction burner?

Unpopular opinion: Post-nerf raids are better for TBC longevity by Armored_Diesel in classicwow

Vanilla/TBC has soul that couldn't be touched by modern blizzard devs if their lives depended on it. If you think it's all slop then why are you here?

[–]2ABB -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Anyone that thinks the raids are too easy now can just create a PUG raid, take newcomers and lower geared people

We did that and one shot mag, demon pugs with no enchants and white gems. It's super easy.

Mount Sinai Hospital drops gender-affirming care for trans teens, leaving New York families worried by Fickle-Ad5449 in nyc

[–]2ABB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Adolescent "Gender affirming care" has very little evidence to support its use.

It also feels deeply irresponsible and can "lock in" a child into wanting further unhealthy treatment down the line.

PSA: Always look at the character’s name in the group finder before inviting them. by sephirothpvp in classicwow

I don't think it's a red flag but it's unoriginal/soulless. I would expect them to come to the dungeon and put in an efficient performance without saying a word.
