The glass clearly says those are feet, not ferrets.

In order to make crossing intersections quicker to get through, the new town policy has trains jumping others using newly installed skateboard ramps.

I use to spend so much time on there as a kid. I had a flashback as soon as I saw that avatar.

I think the difference is that helldivers 2 never required me to log into anything except my steam account to play until only recently.

Just be cause the game says it may require it, but it's not enforces from day 1, doesn't change that feeling of having the rug pulled.

People don't have a problem with needing an account, they have a problem with suddenly needing to have an account if they purchased and played it without one.

I have many negative options of this show. Ultimately, while Lucy was...okay.. Norm and chet had my favorite dynamic and didn't act like complete morons most of the time.

They seemed to have set out with the intention of making the BoS a slapstick comedy rayher than a serious player consisting of intelligent humans. Especially Knight Titus and Maximus felt like horribly written characters.

I understand them going for humor but.. I feel the slapstick nature of it really took away my enjoyment of it.

While fallout has had humor in it, I felt it was backseat to the actual atmosphere of its story of surviving the wasteland. In the series, slapstick seems to be all it is.

Also I don't understand why they added the thing about ghouls.

Same, largely. I love the look and feel of everything but...

I dunno. I just struggle to remain engaged in it. And I can't decide on a char build either for some reason.

My friend group all said they stopped at the part where you rescue a certain somebody from a BD den, too. Which they said it just felt meh.

I'm slowly trying to force myself through it.

Personally, I'd like to see a bit more adjustment in ship abilities.

It feels like they've got active abilities on every ship you have to press to get them using their full potential. Even if they have adjusted the length and timer of the cool down, It doesn't feel very good to me that way.

Red alert 3 kinda killed me because every unit had an alternate mode or active ability I had to use and target on enemies. If you weren't constantly toggling abilities on all units or making use of these targeted abilities you were going to get rolled.

I'm hoping we can move some of these abilities over into researchable passives. It feels like adding all these activatables is ment to increase the skill ceiling for competitive gaming, which I can also see how that may be beneficial.

An economy is only as healthy as the money that moves through it.

Stimulus bills when passed are exactly for that - put money into the hands of workers so that the economy can become healthy.

A corporation is always going to be moving money whether through investments, orders, etc.

A worker may not be able to. If the choice is between food, shelter, healthcare, etc.. then the worker is going to have to prioritize. Stories of workers having to choose to be late on some bills so they can afford shelter and food are not uncommon because wages have stagnated but corporations chase the green line going up on their graphs.

Without workers bring able to move money through the economy via wages to them, corporations just collect those assets and sit on them or invest them elsewhere. I don't think grocery stores are the places banks invest into.

Grocery stores will increase prices to keep that green graph line going up.

Basically, inflation is going to happen. Purchasing power moves over time. If wages don't keep up, things start breaking down economically.
