It’s normal for a person experiencing psychosis to have trouble understanding reality through a lens of a sane person, yes.

GoW isn’t really open world, there’s a hub and there’s smaller, mostly linear locations. Gameplay is more of an Uncharted with axes and combos. It is a very good game though.

Urging thoughts and prayers. There’s nothing to be done about it realistically other than building nukes.

I used sub-title because Americans tend to treat this like the end of the world while ignoring that it was an act of malicious (and unnecessary) compliance.

If you use Phanpy you’ll jump on it. If you don’t then you probably won’t care. Phanpy is the best Mastodon client around but has been limited by being PWA.

They could have always respected this setting rather than doing popups btw.

This is what right would call „communism” if it was done by the left.

Gabe Newell is a CEO of a very small company, staff-wise, can’t feign ignorance.

That company runs multiple games with lootboxes and doesn’t make any attempt at restricting gambling from underage customers. They were restricted from doing so in some jurisdictions, can’t feign ignorance.

If you go even deeper there is evidence of Valve being perfectly aware (and amused!) that their item marketplace is used to facilitate offsite gambling on esports events.

Gabe Newell runs multiple online casinos.

Are you one of those people that think Uber is a tech company and not a taxi company because they have an app?

Please enlighten me how did they move. Let’s have a laugh.

Lootboxes are gambling. Courts in multiple jurisdictions like Netherlands, Belgium or Austria off top of my head agree. I realise it’s normalised in some countries and some people don’t want to admit they have a problem, but that doesn’t mean people have to accept it.

You’re not the best at googling I guess.
