Vulcan is the real homeworld. Or was…? I forgot the timelines.

Here’s a train of thought. Eugenics were forbidden and so, became an unknown. How do people treat the unknown? With fear and reticence.

The three individuals were an unknown. They were treated with gloves on, from a distance. They didn’t have opportunities like yours and they weren’t understood.

Without understanding someone, you can’t help them, no matter how much you’d like to. And even if you do understand, it’s not a guaranteed success.

So they couldn’t develop because they were incompatible with their environment and instead magnified traits which were there from the start.

You say it’s not a challenge, but on the contrary, entrenched traits of personality are among the most difficult challenges to overcome. More so when considered as biological impulses sabotaging you every step of the way.
Just like a mosquito you can’t see or catch, yet it keeps buzzing around and being a nuisance.

Their skill wasn’t an issue, everything else was.

Been playing Endless Space 2 this week, base game through family sharing, with mods.
Went with the tree species, which use space roots to go from system to system along the lanes. Thought I’d be a pacifist, just doing tree stuff.
Only I happened to roll a twin galaxies map which connects the two sides with only one lane and one of the opponents spawned exactly on one of its connection points, so now my roots can’t reach the other side…
I think I might move over to the horror genre and start rooting everyone a la Cabin in the Woods (if I’m remembering the right movie).

Same reason they pre-order or buy “micro” transactions on release day or get scammed again and again, they’re financially incompetent.

They usually don’t and have to be “broken in”.

For those few that do so naturally, it’s more of a proto-symbiotic relationship where the rider helps provide food and safety, so they’re kept around as a pet or dumb kid.
Also, if a predator wants to bite you, having something on your back to throw at them as a distraction can be pretty damn helpful.

So he says.*

Ignoring everything else here, why must the two be dependent on each other? One can care for another’s well being without giving a damn about who they are.

As per my understanding (which isn’t saying much), Steam takes a 30% cut of each sale. In UK, someone with a specific agenda claimed to represent gamers as a class and sued reasoning that the 30% cut inflates the price of games globally even beyond Steam’s store, harming everyone.

Did i understand it right? No idea. What’s the actual goal here? Also no idea. Is Steam the “good guy” in all this? Of course not.

I read something about google’s play store requiring an API update every 2 years since late 2022, but i don’t know specifics.

Yeah, there’s plenty of “free games! Can’t say no to that” or “I’m already subscribed for streaming, games are a bonus” users.

Yes, but not from ai. From scamming suckers instead.

I believe it kinda might be. They’re independent now so money has to go up or else they’re gone.

Being right after the ownership change, the near future’s going to be unknown and decisions will be testy. Gog moving forward will be quite an interesting sight.

Perhaps it’s good guy Sony trying to pull players in the right direction with their gaming hardware,

Funny.

or maybe it’s a method designed to coax players away from a withdrawing platform that they’ve started sunsetting.

‘The PS5 sales have not met our expectations.’

But yeah, one can feel the limitations of the PS4. Whoever wants to buy a PS5 will have bought one by now, more so considering it’s really not an affordable buy in any way. At this time, it might be the fomo addiction which would push someone into buying a new console that pretty much tethers you to its subscription models.

They’ll say the employee has coloured hair and should be fired, then banned from making games.

If you want to self-harm, go to Highguard steam discussions. Pick any topic with plenty of replies and emojis, it’s just mind numbing. Devastating really.

Yup, then and now, it’s the Russians causing trouble for everyone.

Forbidden pleasure that you’re too weak to hold back from.

"smart"boot and tpm required. It’s dead to me.

And will try to fuck anything with a hole, at least once.

Any kid who watched Beauty and the Beast would start talking to their household objects.

Dramas involve being hapless else there’s not enough drama to make it a drama.

As for the men vs women thing, having originally lopsided standards makes realistic expectations seem quite the insult. The problem is with those spoiled rotten no longer being given free candy.
