Maybe he plays other games for fun, it doesn't say.

But it sounds like he's choosing not to play these ones because it would affect how his perspective on (and he feels about) the setting, which may affect the quality of his work.

The games aren't without charm but coming from the series first? It'd feel like those mobile gacha game ads. You think there are such interesting complex characters in a politically nuanced setting that tackles some tough themes about how people survive... after all, you're acting one of them.

...and then you play the game where 90% of it is getting number pop-ups from shooting nameless raiders, and strangers yelling ring-a-ding-ding as you pass by.

I love FONV, but I think he made the right call. Even if he enjoyed the gameplay, it would change how to did his job.

The far army has the number on the vertices (4), the close army has the number on the base (3).

I know the study you mean and you're misrepresenting it. It asks people who identify as lesbian whether they have experienced domestic abuse at all, and concludes they're more likely to answer 'yes' than straight women.

But that alone doesnt say who is doing the abuse. Remember lesbians often date men before coming out. When asking whether the perpetrator was male or female and separating the data, the stats shifted. Lesbians experienced less DV from their female partners than straight women do from their male ones.

Women are also capable of abuse of course, but a large amount of the DV lesbians received was still from men.

I see the symbols as like checkboxes or matrices. The 'X' has been filled in as yes, the O has been left empty

No. It's definitely not what is was, for sure. But while search engines (especially Google) are so fucking bad, adding 'reddit' to your search is still the best way to get answers to your actual question and not just irrelevant sponsors and paid plugs.

Ofc that's probably a big reason why reddit has swarms of bots for grass roots advertising.... it's a vicious slippery circle of slop

The main big red one is clearly an ice block (aka popsicle, water ice).

There is an elephant scooping something creamy with their trunk, but there are dairy-free soft serves as well. They're called sorbet, and can be made from flavouring water, or from fruit puree.

A lot of Europe charges to use them though, whoch i find weird. Imo they should be funded by public budgets the way libraries, school buses, roads etc are.

Like, of ya gotta pee, ya gotta pee. If you gotta pee and you don't have any Euros on you, what else are you supposed to fucking do?? Literally what are your options at that point?

I'm sure some people would do this anyway but I suspect a lot of them can't/won't pay for a public toilet and aren't close enough to a private one. It's a UX issue
