The easiest ways for a corporation to increase profits in the short term is to increase prices, cut staff, reduce quality control, sell ad space or a combination of those. All of these result in inferior products.

Seems you're putting too much thought into this. If you really can't come up with one just try a random noun genetrator a few times until you find one you like.

Across the Anglosphere people seem to use "generally" and "genuinely" almost interchangeably these days.

It's "a couple of minutes" not "a couple minutes". Americans tend to drop it for speed, but it kind of fits with the accent I guess.

As far as Americanisms go, this is my least favourite... They seem to be dropping the "go" from the aforementioned and it throws me right off the sentence every time.

If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it? in c/[email protected]

Just started reading through Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy and it feels tailor-made for a game adaptation where the player is a Mistborn for hire before the events of the first book.

Spoilers from the first book

The magic system is well-defined and the noble factions are all there with their own headquarters. Traversal would be the perfect hybrid of Assassin's Creed and Spiderman, running over rooftops and swinging from metal fixtures throughout Luthadel with iron and steel.

I imagine combat feeling like Breath of the Wild where the player can burn tin to slow down time, allowing the player to perform coin shots, dodge attacks, etc. Pewter increases damage and iron pulls weapons, coins, or enemies themselves if wearing armour. Zinc could allow skaa to be rioted, attacking nearby enemies on the player's behalf whilst brass could be used for stealth.

Areas the player could access at any given time could be limited via soothing stations and metal availability. The mist itself would even allow the developers to keep draw distance down and prevent players from travelling too far outside the city grounds until the story permits.
