There was a stretch in the late 90s where squaresoft released a final fantasy nearly every year for 5 years. Now it’s once every 7+ years. I don’t believe it should be that hard to make games these days. There are more people working on the projects, more tools and pre-made engines/libraries available. It’s purely a management/budgeting problem.
Something tells me they’d have the same opinion any other wait staff seems to have: they prefer tipping because they can earn a lot of money for unskilled labour with tips. It’s the reason some people make a whole career being a server.
But in those places you’d still be considered an asshole for not tipping, right?
I remember when I spent time in the US, tipping was the absolute worst part of the experience.
If I was with a big group going to a restaurant we would have a server constantly checking in with us, chatting and telling stories, getting us deals and freebies. When I would go out alone I would get ignored. If I dressed down I would be treated worse than if I was dressed up. One time I even waited an hour for a table before walking out as larger groups got seated ahead of me. How people are treated is based on how much money they think you’ll hand over.
Everything about tipping is greed and it’s gross.
All restaurants in the US require tipping. You’ll have to boycott all of them, and that won’t send a message about tipping. You would need the majority of people to still go to restaurants and not tip to send the message and that’s never going to happen because people have been brainwashed to think their value as a human being requires generous tipping. Comments like “if you don’t tip you’re an asshole” means the system is working as intended and will never change.
A lot of the UK do not have air conditioning and their houses are build to keep heat.
Dangerous is exactly what it is for health vulnerable people and places that don’t take adequate health and safety measures. These are heatwaves that the country is not used to having, especially at the frequency we are now seeing, and people are dying because of this heat.
I’m from Australia, where I remember multiple times in my life where we’ve had a week of over 40 degrees.
I’ve been to the UK during one of their heatwaves and I can tell you that 36 degrees over there is dangerous. I don’t know if it’s something to do with the humidity or whatever, but it’s way worse than 40 degrees in Australia.
I think the problem with BMI is when people misunderstand what it’s for. Is not an “am I fat” tool. It’s specifically about heart health and it’s not used in isolation. The more mass you have (fat or muscle) the more your heart has to work. It’s naive to ignore it just because the word “obese” has become an offensive term.
Excuse me, do you serve gluten free milk?
I always thought it was a dumb plot point, but obviously it’s whatever “half” definition however Thanos thought of it. So probably just half of sentient creatures, or something. The point is, the answer is whatever Thanos wanted.
When the CEO keeps saying they’ll have full auto pilot in the next few years for over a decade, then complains that the problem is the government stopping then from rolling it out, you start to question if it should ever be rolled out. At least maybe not by a for profit entity who puts profits before safety.

2 solid spin offs, and a small handful of extended universe content as well
That’s only if you only consider the 3 main characters. They each have relationships with recurring characters.
When Carson came back they clearly establish he is a clone.
As Dr Karl says: gambling is a tax for being bad at math
Lucas has always been a cinema tech pioneer, but the prequel era was not his best. He was surrounded by yes men and many of his bad choices were unchecked.
IIRC The Phantom Menace (and maybe the rest of the trilogy) was mastered in 1080, what people think of as TV resolution these days.
If you’re talking about the alien in Alien^3 it’s not GCI. It’s a puppet filmed separately and composited in. It’s a creative method, but the comp is done poorly.
Shapes can be trademarked and copyrighted. Coca cola have trademarked the shape of their plastic bottles.
I have no idea what your sofa analogy is trying to say.
My friends and I made fun of ff7s terrible graphics when it came out, but the game was so good the bad graphics didn’t matter. Ff16 looked amazing, but the game is so boring it doesn’t matter.
People don’t want bleeding edge from final fantasy, they want a good game.
