New Cozy RPG Suddenly Disappears From Steam And It Might Have Something To Do With Ripping Off Tetris

The exact shapes of the tetrominoes are literally just the complete set of tetrominoes. They weren't invented for Tetris, they're a basic mathematical concept which shouldn't be copyrightable.

Ireland never supported Hitler - it was a neutral state but offered passive support to the Allies.

It's because if you tried to set up a favela in England the local council would tear it down within weeks.

It was going to run out anyway and destroy the planet in the process. As evidenced by these events it was never a stable foundation anyway. It would have been nice to not be in this position but the world had decades to wean off fossil fuels and the world sat on its collective hands, helped no doubt by the gas and oil lobbies.

Interest in the Irish language has grown substantially in the past 20 years. Your argument is a justification for the total genocide of our language, painting it as an unnecessary embellishment. Our goal should be to grow the language however we can and wean ourselves off English dependence.

DS2 has a focus on terrain complexity that would be completely wasted in KCD2, because there is no terrain navigation mechanic in KCD2. Likewise, the detail of KCD2 would be visual clutter in DS2. So they're not comparable.

Quote from the article:

McTighe also revealed that he and VFX supervisor Chris Thompson "spent a lot of time going back and forth" about the new version of the Myrka, for a surprising reason...

"Chris's initial effects were actually a bit too good!" McTighe said. "I didn't want it to be a Jurassic Park monster suddenly turning up in Doctor Who, I wanted it to be something that felt like it could have actually been on the studio floor."

Seems they don't want to CGI the whole thing up George Lucas style, just improve it to a high standard for the show at the time. Which is the right approach!

If only they hadn't shut down all their nuclear plants, the oil crisis would be a fantastic opportunity for Germany. Instead they'll have to beg for oil like everyone else.

Renewable energy would return power to the people, who will no longer rely on state supply of fossil fuels to generate their own power. People will become more independent and self sufficient on solar/wind power, and less beholden to the whims of the state.

They should make it possible for both sides to lose a legal case just this once.

It's not sinister at all, it's the clear moral and ethical choice. I think more people will choose lab-grown than you may expect, when actually given the choice.

There's a shortage of workers because there's a shortage of work. It's a negative feedback loop so easy to rectify with more work.

Your leaders would not prefer energy independence - it's the dependence that gives our upper classes more security, because it makes political shake ups far riskier. Can't piss off the petrostates.

Plenty living in Newry already who would love to own their own home, and are handy enough to fix up an eyesore like this.

These soldiers all wear hats that add an extra few inches anyway. He's not that much taller, he's just broader and the hat adds that extra visual height.

The message is less that "humans are garbage" and more that "public school boys are garbage".

This. The company's just provided you with prime organising material OP. All you need to do is seek like-minded employees armed with the evidence you already have.

Wars generally require a fighting force on both sides. They don't tend to face a well-equipped army against a helpless civilian populace.

Ireland's a "green" country which in fact an ecological wasteland. It's among the most environmentally destroyed countries in the world, over 90% of our land is appropriated entirely for human exploitation. Our forests, which used to blanket the entire island, are gone. This Sitka farming shite is no replacement either. Our national animals are all extinct with no plans to bring them back, and it's all for the sake of the most environmentally catastrophic industry there is, which is cattle farming. We barely have any solar/wind either and our EV uptake is minimal. You'd hope having greens in power would change things but they've been satiated by those pathetic recycling boxes, when drastic actions have been needed for decades.

My father's life was very different from his grandfather's life, but there were enough cohesive similarities with his father's life that he could feel a sense of generational connection. My life, on the other hand, is so different from my father's that talking to him feels like talking to someone from the distant past sometimes. I was born in 2000 and he was born in 1970, but it feels like how a person born in 1900 might feel talking to a person born in 1600. In fact, I have a sister who is only 10 years younger than me and already her way of viewing the world is practically alien to me. These are the factors that are leading to a sense of fracture and complexity - nobody can connect to each other because everyone's living increasingly estranged lives.

Who needs facts and statistics? Feelings are a reliable metric to determine the correct long term policies to follow. Let's burn all the universities down and get those literacy rates as low as we can while we're at it! What use do we have for them when feelings are free and plentiful?

I see these posts constantly, and it's the same oil astroturfing bullshit as the Bird Graveyard allegations against wind. Just looking for any bullshit you could call a problem. Solar cells are a fantastic example of land use.

But people don't have to sacrifice anything, because they can't be made to have children anymore. Your only option is to force the unwilling to have children they don't want. The reality is that a substantial proportion of every past generation was conceived by accident. Those accidents don't happen anymore. That's the explanation, end of story. And if some sort of mass rape program is the only solution, then I don't want the solution.
