This is not chemical warfare…

The only one committing chemical warfare in Ukraine right now is Russia. You probably wouldn’t know about that though.

A general strike would be one example.

It’s hard to have an army without an economy, and it’s hard to effectively enslave a nation by forcing them to work at gunpoint.

I guess Mexican drug cartels are pretty much the libertarian wet dream.

Ooo, that one’s good, I’ve never thought of that before. I bet “So you want a weak government like Mexico?” would short circuit many libertarian’s brains.

Even then, it was only legally abolished, some plantations never had any Union soldiers come, so they never freed their slaves, just kept them in “sharecropping” agreements but they weren’t allowed to leave. Actual share cropping was also horrific and also sometimes had slavelike conditions.

Some of these fake “sharecropping” agreements stayed in place till the mid 1900s.

Here’s a very excellent video by Knowing Better on Neoslavery.

Skyblivion actually has a confirmed release date in 2025 already.

There’s all sorts of reasons being unionized could help create a better product.

Hopefully it means less insane crunch but it’s still up to the higher ups to say “ok good enough” and release before it’s polished right?

Yes you’re correct, but the union beyond just meaning less crunch, also means that the average worker has more pathways to be vocal about problems with the product. They also now have a “nuclear option” of going on strike if management makes a decision regarding the product that the union really doesn’t like.

Beyond all that though, even just basic stuff like job satisfaction/happiness at your job, can lead to a better product in creative industries, and unions are proven to lead to happier workers.

I thought it looked like a town built on top of a weird raised pyramid at first. This could be the new blue dress, is it raised up or lowered down?

(Except this one could be better cause it’s neither)

Fo3 had a small update recently to get rid of Games For Windows Live and to fix Windows 10/11 compatibility.

The FNV update was probably something similar.

That wasn’t exactly on Todd Howard, though? There was going to be a new update for Fallout 4, and everyone, especially every modder, knew that for at least a year beforehand.

There are 5 other even larger projects in development other than Fallout London, Fallout London was the only one to come out and blame Bethesda for a foreseeable delay.

The right wing of any political system is regressive

Yes, I completely agree. That’s what I’m saying. I don’t see how you can fix that other than universally disallowing the right wing of politics any influence over decision making, in which case the left will likely fracture in between its most left wing elements and it’s most centre-left elements and the process starts again.

So unless you want endless purging of whatever happens to be on the right wing of your political spectrum, I don’t see what the cure to Conservatism or the right wing is.

7/10 Nazis killed in WWII were at the hands of the Soviets

And 10/10 of the Polish officers and civilians killed at Katyn were at the hands of the Soviets too. There’s no point in defending a regime that did horrific things, just because they happened to kill a lot of people who also did horrific things.

There’s also no point in arguing that “one nation won the war” against anyone in World War 2, the war would’ve been significantly worse and more brutal had almost any of the allied nations not participated.

Without the US lend lease and factories, the Soviets wouldn’t have had a chance, and it would’ve been a much much more brutal battle even if they succeeded. Not to mention the massive amount of work the U.S. put into fighting Japan in the Pacific almost alone.

Without the Soviets the other allies would have had no continental power to distract the Germans, and North Africa would likely have fallen along with the UK.

Without the UK, the Axis would’ve had a much much easier time navigating waterways and trading with the world, not always having the possibility of being harassed from one of the UK’s colonial ports or airports. Not to mention the constant threat of invasion from the sea and the opening of a second front that the UK provided.

There’s others I won’t even mention because it would take too long like the invaluable support of India and China without which Japan would’ve dominated Asia, and the people of Africa and South America who also contributed.

There’s literally no way a non-propagandizing historian could put the victory solely on any of the Allied nations, each and every one was completely indispensable

There can’t really be a cure though, what’s “conservative” is just whatever is on the right wing of a country’s politics at any point in time.

Why would it not follow that Steam using the same percentage - with lower costs and none of the physical-based risk - is simply greed?

Most of the retailers mentioned in that article were also digital only and had the exact same or less risk. Steam certainly does a lot to try and get people’s money, but they aren’t just greedily fucking over Devs for that 30%, that is in fact industry standard.

I also have no doubt that Epic will enshitify itself and raise its rate closer to 30% after growing.

There’s this thing called social democracy,
and almost every nation in the world has a social democratic party. The left wing of these social democratic parties tend to be full on democratic socialists.

There’s a good chance that the welfare system in whatever country you live in was built by these social democratic parties and influenced by its left wing of democratic socialists.

Even in the U.S. FDR’s Liberalism has been called “bootleg social democracy” by some historians, and his policies were influenced (though often more as concessions than willing adoption) of the more socialist leaning unions of his time. Even today, the progressive wing of the Democratic Party could be described as social democratic, with its leftmost members (Bernie Sanders and AOC) being democratic socialists.

Idk man democratic socialists seem to have been succeeding in doing it almost globally for a century now.

Look at the left of any social democratic party and you’re bound to find some.

Oh there’s many many many more than just Skywind.

There’s Skywind and Skyblivion.

And then the Fallout 4 Capital Wasteland team that’s been remaking the DLCs and main game of Fallout 3.

Then there’s the Fallout 4 New Vegas team, which has been doing the same but for New Vegas.

Then there’s the Fallout 2 remaster team mentioned in this article (Project Arroyo).

And then there’s the Fallout 1 remaster team (Project Vault 13).

There’s also mods being developed that are entirely new areas, such as Fallout London, Fallout Miami, and Fallout Cascadia. Along with the Elder Scrolls equivalents of Beyond Skyrim’s teams, Nirn Uncharted, and Apotheosis, which aims to have all the daedric realms.

Despite any blunders Bethesda might have made, their modding community is thriving now better than ever.

Edit: Also all of these projects have Discord servers where they post regular progress updates.

Okay but again as has been pointed out to you, that has no bearing on government contracted products like this, whether that’s code or rockets or anything else the government doesn’t want to just share with the entire world.

Damn. Wonder how many delays they’re gonna do before finally launching. Better to be safe than sorry I guess.

Why do you think software would be treated any differently?

They’re saying they’re going to try again tomorrow at 12:00. At least it wasn’t the rocket or capsule itself, they’re saying it was the ground based towers countdown computer system.
