Yeah, I don't remember all the details myself, so you're probably right. I was basically trying to support your thesis that Bethesda getting nasty over mods would be something entirely new and out of character. The only example someone could even try to point to had a bunch of other (better) explanations than "mod bad, Bethesda mad."

For all their faults, Bethesda may be the most mod-friendly AAA studio out there right now.

I can vaguely recall a single instance where they shut someone down, and that was over re-used audio assets from an older game. That was almost certainly about contractual licensing obligations to voice actors.

On the one hand, it has to be a mistake, right?

On the other, malicious harassment of an immigration lawyer with a "foreign" sounding name is exactly the sort of thing you'd expect right now.

Absolute best case scenario for this administration is that they are prone to making stupid, dangerous, embarrassing mistakes that will end up getting someone hurt or worse. And that's giving them way more benefit of the doubt than they've earned.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

President Mike Johnson outlaws women going out in public alone and institutes daily Bible reading classes. Attendance is mandatory if you don't want to end up in an El Salvador slave prison.

For all we know, in that moment Elon was standing on some dirt, making him the wealthiest person on lower-case earth.

Clingy ex-bf vibes. Which, given the circumstances of his dismissal, is even more gross.

If it makes you feel better, you probably also hold a stake in their direct competition.

Especially with a company that once decided they owned "scrolls" in any video game title.

Remember when the GOP sued google because its spam filters were too effective?

You were just that good at circumventing it. You had to be double-banned in response.

Cathulhu?

He is a certain type of anti-intellectual who believes "nothing is true unless I discover it myself."

Education is useless, truth is a lie, etc, etc.

So he destroys everything he touches until he can recreate knowledge himself, poorly, expensively, and redundantly. Then declares himself a genius for getting back to basically where the rest of humanity already was years ago.

FH4 and 5 are effectively MMOs. There is plenty to do alone, and the other players can mostly be ignored, but it's still a shared world.

The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.

The Russian puppet is more believable as a member of Congress.

Practical Engineering?

You see this (or used to, anyway) from time to time with gas strikes.

If it's just a month of "don't buy," it wouldn't do much in the long run. All that does is time-shift demand to when the strike is over. If the company can anticipate well enough, they'd raise prices when the demand comes back and come out ahead in the long run.

You have to use/consume less, and for an extended time period, not just change when that purchase happens.

But yes, with that caveat, use less, and choose the lesser evil when you do need to buy something. The individual effect is small, but small things add up.

Mold is a culture.
