But tons of restaurants didn't offer delivery before. That's what the other commenter was saying. For many places, especially smaller, locally owned restaurants, a 3rd party enabling delivery for them is a huge boon. But like the other commenter said, it needs to be implemented well and fairly, which it currently is not.

Also, comparing 3rd party food delivery to health insurance is definitely something...

Also active military get universal healthcare, too. Damn communist service members...

They're not entirely wrong about it increasing the value of debt and that being undesirable to some governments, though. I agree with you as well.

I thought everything just went to the 4x formula and/or the micro/hero focused route. I actually wish there were more simplistic Warcraft 1/2 or C&C type games to come out, but I'll admit I haven't paid much attention to the genre for awhile, pretty much since StarCraft 2.

That's fair, haha

This is so their relatives know that they're being sucked into the US ICE void. It's a precaution to try and help ensure people don't "disappear" for good. There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of people becoming "mysteriously lost" after being detained by US authorities.

This isn't a Trump/GOP-only problem, but the GOP seem hell bent to make it even worse, so Mexico is preparing for that.

It depends on the country, but healthcare is much cheaper and simpler everywhere else in the developed world than in the US. We live in a corporate dystopia.

Yeah, he polled highly among Hispanics in 2020, too. I legitimately do not understand it.

Article said it exceeds 200.

Meanwhile, my toddler will immediately place a sticker on literally the first thing they see. 🫠

Oh sure, the parent company totally didn't know this was going on... Glad Brazil discovered this and shut it down. Hope that all of the culprits face severe criminal penalties.

I'd argue FF12's content is primarily grinding, though. I liked the game, actually just beat it this summer. But, I was definitely ready to be done with it by the time the credits rolled. I finished with around 70 hours, I think. There are a lot of secrets and whatnot, I just wish their crafting/bazaar system wasn't so tedious with its requirements.

Doesn't change the fact that the people running these sketchy scams should be brought to justice and the whole thing should either be regulated or outlawed.

I don't understand how this is legal in the US. How is this not a criminal case vs a civil one??

I don't get it. Did the old filter used to censor images containing the word parenthood or something?

The company should be doing more to support these employees, that's the point. Right now, Meta doesn't give a fuck if their employees are getting severely traumatized trying to keep content off their platforms. They don't pay them much, don't offer resources for mental health, etc. A maybe bad analogy would be like a construction company having no heavy machinery safety policies and when those employees get hurt and can't work anymore, just firing them with no worker's comp.

For comparison, hospitals or law enforcement provide therapy and/or other mental health resources for their employees, since those jobs put their employees in potentially traumatic positions with some frequency (e.g. a doctor/nurse witnessing death a lot).

Grim Dawn is fantastic! I can't wait for the new expansion coming in a few months. I also heard they're making a sequal after they finish their town building game which is coming out of EA soon.

Diablo's story is now entirely detached from its gameplay, the protag can see the villains cutscenes due to a plot device, no more clever writing to explain events after, you get rewards not from an NPC but from the menu from completing world events, and somehow there are localised areas of 100s of enemies just waiting for you to start a fight in a random spot on an open field, theres a GPS showing you the way to the next objective

Diablo 2's story is also detached, it's nothing new lol. I'd say Diablo 3 actually had the most protag focused story besides Diablo 1. In D4, all of the cutscenes at least involve main characters you regularly interact with.

Regardless, no one plays those games for the story. They've always been purely about gear grinding and demon/monster butchering. D4 is probably the most polished in the series, except for maybe D3, which was a very streamlined experience, for better or worse. I like all of the Diablo games, but I still think D2 and D3 are the most fun I've had playing with friends. Fun is always the most important aspect, and D4 was making strong strides to improving that aspect when I last played over the summer. Not sure if that's still the case in the new expansion, but I figure I'll try it out when the xpac is on a deep discount.
