Played it somewhat recently and the voice acting isn't terrible, but i was assuming they'd want to do a localization pass and record new lines for the remaster

Yes, I do. If they're not or can't volunteer to be part of the military there are other ways they can contribute to national defense. See: WW2

Sorry but if your country is literally being invaded by hostile forces and your own country's government didn't commit some heinous act to invite said invasion (genocide, or retribution for their own invasion), you are a hopeless coward trying to dodge that draft. We're not talking about fucking Vietnam.

Kinda reductive, no? All it takes for a man to be trans is wearing heels?

The first Black Panther kinda goes Iike the comic I guess

Likely intentional. I'm guessing they have a name in mind for either gender but don't want to reveal it.

You don't see them in the wild because they're terminally online babies who can only exist in an internet bubble, and likely don't represent anything but a tiny fraction of vocal, obtuse jerkoffs compared to the population of vegans.

I'm a recent MBA grad and I can attest that stuff like this was an important part of the curriculum re: sustainable growth. Cutting corners, focusing on short term profits is always a dead end. When leaders get lazy and don't drive a culture that is aligned with the company's mission, values, and obligations, decay is inevitable. The Boeing board of directors is as complicit in all of this as their executives are.

I don't necessarily believe you have to have deep expertise in a given field to govern a business in said field. Often it's even an advantage to come in with a fresh set of eyes. But you need to at least RESPECT that field and its experts and be forthright about taking responsibility when you take action intended to eliminate waste. If the only metric you are using is revenue, or operating profit, or whatever, you are creating an organization that is incentivized to maximize those at the expense of other, core-business-critical factors. If you're making something inconsequential, by all means take those risks and race to the bottom. But when people's lives are at stake, you need to have reverence for what your business actually does.

Oh boy is that a loaded question.

As someone who has played every game in the series, the trend has been to make them less like RPGs and more like action games. Gameplay wise, this was far and away the best action-y one and had a decent enough story. Anything compared to 15 would have looked like a masterpiece, lol.

I vastly prefer the more traditional RPGs overall though. 16 was a pleasant surprise since I came in with a bit of a bias against the shift towards action games, and really only gave it a shot because the director has earned a lot of credit with his handling of 14 (the MMO)

Which do you think is easier to quit outright? Heroin, thc, nicotine, or alcohol?

The answer is Metallica and anyone who claims otherwise is failing to see the forest for the trees. A lot of the bands people are listing in this thread are virtually unheard of outside of metal fans, and while I'm sure most here would agree they are better or that you would be more excited to see them than something more mainstream - Everyone knows Metallica.

Recently picked up Wyrmspan and it's pretty much a unilateral upgrade over Wingspan. Hope they do it digitally at some point
