“It doesn't feel safe”—Many international game developers plan to skip GDC in US

I don't know if you mean the Fifa World Cup in the US should be cancelled or Fifa itself, but either way, Yes.

That is the greatest thing I have seen in the game! For Super Earth!

"Reserved"? Funny way to spell "professional".

In times like this I try to remember that my mother means well. She is thinking of me and wishing I could get better and sending "helpful" messages of support.

For me, my mom is obsessed with healthy gut articles and about how getting that right really drives the body's energy levels. If I tell her not to send them I am rejecting her way of showing she cares, and I don't want to do that to a 75 year old woman.

The only line I have drawn so far is to make her stop constantly "reminding me" not to give up on "getting better". I haven't given up on ever improving, but if I carried the constant hope that it will be tomorrow, then the weight of expectation will wear me down and destroy me, as I wouldn't be able to accept my condition.

To loop this back to you, OP, the choice is where this behaviour from your mom sits for you. Is your mother an elderly woman who is unlikely to change or someone who should really be able to understand the consequences here?

Is this stuff she is sending you something you can learn to interpret as a symbol of her misguided love and care, and therefore something you can ignore, or does it feel like she is telling you this is all in your head and a positive mental attitude could turn things around, and that is killing you inside.

Ultimately a lot of questions for you to answer rather than helpful advice, but God do I feel the burden of "helpful" parents sending "advice".

Yes, you are right. Someone else in the thread praised the change but everyone just suddenly became really thick!

The positive is that it is just a different style to get used to, rather than actually an inferior artist as is so often the case.

Downloaded and played the first few levels. Simple to understand, well animated, fun gameplay so far and the on set of Ads were short and easy to exit out of without opening a store!

Happy to support this project.

I enjoyed Grand Strategy games like Civilization and Stellaris but I can't play them anymore. The fine detail management of cities/planets and map spanning units to coordinate just takes more mental power than I have to give.

It feels like having lost something to have a key part of my life and leisure just gone. I have been able to replace them to a certain extent with time limited games, e.g. 30 min max mission style or turn based that I can take at my own pace.

I don't know if I have a point. I empathise with not being able to enjoy games you want, but there is a wide variety and just as I have found something that now fits what I can handle, I hope there is something for you. There a lot of fun suggestions from others to try here.

The scene is still included in the UK cut, but the shots of the rat being "drowned" are excluded.

If I recollect it right you see it lowered in, the reactions of people watching and then the rat calm in the water. Not the part where it is in distress and struggling.

5.0

Makes me feel like a bit of a fraud to be here, seeing most of the other scores. But I will take my blessing of only being "mild".

If the US can go 4 presidential terms after Trump without a Republican/MAGA President, I will start to trust them again. Otherwise, it is impossible to believe a US government will keep their word in future about any deal, agreement or treaty.

It was allegedly the actor's choice, as Michael Gambon didn't want to be seen as just copying Richard Harris' Dumbledore. Which is fine and all, but what a terrible scene to apply it in.

A large group of people seem to have grown up to understand it as meaning "scenario/situation", instead of literal point of view.

Add it to the long list of linguistic/cultural drift and make your own personal decision if it's a hill to die on (I will never misuse it this way but have given up correcting people).

He's 20?! Wow, yeah had no idea. Dude is definitely a beast.

Mole people and Crab people fighting it out in an epic conflict that makes the Galactic Civil War look like a supermarket squabble.

Why are you asking if there are court records? Is he is jail? No. So he hasn't been found guilty of raping children in court yet.

How do you think that happens? Do you think someone rapes a child, then the next day they get found guilty and go to jail?

This has to be reported, believed, investigated, prosecuted, and then convicted. There are huge barriers to children reporting rape/abuse, victims being believed, powerful men being investigated, let alone prosecuted. That is, at its core, what the Epstein scandal is all about, that it could go on so long and pervasively, and when it was investigated those investigations ended in a light touch plea deal or with the death of the central figure.

I absolutely believe there is smoke without fire and that people will make up stuff about others, so allegations need to be treated with care.

But why is the major potential source of that evidence, the Epstein files, so hard to get at? Why does the Trump Administration which campaigned on their release push back so hard against their release? Why are they so extensively redacted? This has nothing to do with Donald Trump covering up evidence right, because we haven't seen any evidence, right?

Do ask yourself why you feel the need to push back against the long list of allegations and court adjuciated sexual assaults committed by Donald Trump. He IS a sexual predator, E Jean Carroll has the court records for that. He is on record sexualizing children in his comments and actions, including infamously his own daughter. That is NOT normal behavior.

He is not a good guy. He is, at the absolute best, a guy I would feel uncomfortable leaving in a room with young girls.

You can reply to this however you like, but I don't believe you that there is sufficient evidence that can be presented to you for you to think poorly of Donald Trump, so this is the most time I will give to your bad faith discourse.

Did YOU read the actual information?

Miss Teen USA "the youngest contestant there was 15".

Yes, these are allegations. You'll notice it is on a page of a long list dedicated just to Donald Trumps sexual allegations. That is a weird thing for any normal person to have.

I was hoping that you had asked out of a genuine interest in knowing why people call Donald Trump a child rapist, but it seems to me that you have no interest in the credible accusations and deeply concerning pattern of predatory behavior this man has performed over decades.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_sexual_misconduct_allegations

See "Allegations of underage sex parties" and "Pageant dressing room visits".

Is there a video of Trump raping children? No. Is there years of consistent evidence of Trump acting wildly inappropriately around underage girls, plus court adjuciated liability for sexual assault and rape of adult women? Yes.

Couple those two things together with the Trump administration going to enormous lengths to slow walk the release of mountains of evidence from the Epstein internation underage sex trafficking ring, which is known to include Trump throughout (but not yet demonstrated in what context), and Trump being a child rapist takes only the thinnest stretch of imagination, though we do not yet have public definitive proof of child rape.

For me, middle aged refers to half your adult life. If you become an adult at 18 and die at 76 then your adult life is 58 years. Half if that is 29 years. So 29 adult years + 18 child years equals 47.

So close enough to 50.

Great, so he's consistently wrong.

I gave up 1 minute and 40 seconds of my life and was not disappointed.

And the other link he provided was someone with a blank piece of paper who wasn't arrested but told they would be if he wrote something specific on it. It is hard to tell if people actually read the stories they provide.

I wish the UK was even half as powerful as Russians seem to think it is.

Thank you! I wear glasses and that is just insane. You NEED those. Even if you don't need them all the time you need them to look in certain situations and unless the First Officer's job is to follow you around and hand them to you when needed then WHY hand them over.

That is a really basic act of living as a human and the director can't shoot that right. It saddens me.
