They did some great fan service before. In Borderlands 2, there is the NPC Michael Mamaril in Sanctuary who can randomly give out guns when talked to. That NPC is a tribute to the real Michael Mamaril, a fan that passed before Borderlands 2 was released
and it sucks
So there’s another thing they share
Something similar already happened when bicycle manufacturer VanMoof went under. I believe there was a workaround if you extracted your bike’s crypto keys before the servers went down but otherwise you were practically screwed.
What in this article had you jump to the conclusion that he wanted to chop his penis off? Dysphoria is a thing, no questions about that, but the vast majority of men don’t want their penis removed and from the article it doesn’t seem this man is an exception.
First of all, self mutilation is a known phenomenon of psychotic episodes. While this is the first documented case of penile amputation that’s also the reason the case study was conducted and we’re reading about it at all.
Next, he has years of depression in his past. For a depression do be diagnosed he has to be under some form of psychological care. While no guarantee that greatly improves the change of dysphoria being diagnosed, especially if it were severe enough to resort to self amputation with an axe.
Ultimately, once he came to his senses he did everything in his power to save his penis. If it was his great plan to amputate his penis while making it look like a drug-fueled accident or even if just wanted it removed but couldn’t do so while sober, why would he put it on ice? Shouldn’t he be glad or relieved it’s gone? If he was dysphoric, I would expect him to make sure it doesn’t get to the hospital with him.
Everything here implies that he didn’t want to mutilate or amputate his penis and in that case implying it was intentional quite insulting, too.
The difference is, that you could just continue using XP until Win7 was released or continue using Win7 until Win10 was released. Win10 will reach end of life next year and then the only supported Windows will be Windows 11. Vista or Win8 were never as forced as Win11 is now.
Plot twist: the products were placed by competing brands because they knew the product placement would backfire
No, not at all. There was also Quinn who won a Gold medal at the same Olympics. And Laurel Hubbard won silver at the World Championships and gold twice at the Commonwealth Games but was 43 years old by the time of the Tokyo Olympics.
Additionally, you have to consider that the current rules regarding trans athletes are only in place since 2015. Before it was required to undergo sexual reassignment surgery and have your gender legally changed. And even after the changes, many trans athletes couldn’t compete at the Olympics because the governing bodies of their sport are more restrictive. So even if trans athletes have a “big advantage”, there are plenty ways to explain their lack of presence at the Olympics.
That’s just factually incorrect. Laurel Hubbard qualified for and competed at the Tokyo Olympics.
Minecraft was just the example they used in the post but I agree. Minecraft is no indie game studio anymore atleast since Microsoft took over. But at least the free update policy hasn’t changed since the takeover
The Factorio Devs made this Blogpost some time ago about how to go forward with development. It basically boiled down to developing a big (paid) expansion pack. I would be totally fine with Stardew Valley doing the same. However, going for free updates was discarded for Factorio because they have a “smaller but more dedicated audience [compared to Terraria and Minecraft]”. I don’t think that applies to Stardew Valley so free updates might be the way to go.
What would be really hilarious is, I think that would allow her to serve two more 4 year terms after her 2025-2029 term ends because she would not have run as President the first time.
That’s incorrect. The 22nd amendment states: “no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once”. So unless Biden would wait for at least two years before stepping down, Harris could only be elected for one more term.
If it was staged, the only feasible way would be that he wasn’t shot at all and all we saw was fake blood. Regardless, I don’t think it was actually staged
The original German wording is “Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand: wer ist die schönste Frau in dem ganzen Land?”. Literally translated that would be “Mirror, mirror on the wall: who is the most beautiful woman in all the land.” I would let “hottest” slide as a more contemporary translation.
