One of my favorite games, Guild Wars 2, thought a lot about this when designing the Charr. A neat blog post from the artist talks about the female design down a bit
I have absolutely no evidence of this, but my first thought was "I wonder if this is some protest at how fucking dumb this all is"
I know it's a trilogy, which is not what you're looking for, but since there is not much here I thought I'd throw it in anyway. Prince of Thorns is great grimdark. Sadly I think a lot of fantasy fiction is trilogies, so might be hard to find. Somehow a different Mark Lawrence book is on that article you linked, but not this one? That's insanity. Lawrence is one of my favorite authors.
You're right, it was more ambiguous, but only in context. Hard to do a more fervent nazi salute than Musk without being Hitler himself. I have a fear that conservatives are just going to start doing half-assed salutes everywhere and going "Musk isn't a nazi, you'll just call anything a nazi salute"
They look cool, but I am kind of disappointed about how expensive they are for plastic mugs. I also have a bit of a pet peeve about established companies using Kickstarter. But I like Ghost Ship so not too much shade.
It varies by location. The one near my house can hardly be bothered to fill the cup. One like an hour away I used to go to for work fills half the freaking bag.
I hate dictator Trump as much as the next guy, but what he's saying here is 'they rigged the election in 2020, but now that means I get to host the Olympics during this term'. He's just keeping up the lie about how he lost to Biden
Pricing is definitely GPD's issue, but yes hardware issues as well. I have a Win Max 2, and it was neat at the time, but it costs way more than a Steamdeck and really isn't as powerful. When you play a game on it it runs so hot and the fans are like a jet engine. I pretty much use it as tiny laptop these days and use the Steamdeck for any real handheld gaming.
As someone who is super into Guild Wars, what is this AN thing?
I'm really hoping that this was done in a way that lets someone just mod it back in trivially or something.
Also obligatory fuck nintendo. For so many reasons, including this.
Sadly this is probably impossible at this point. Before their whole fiasco discontinuing the desktop app there was a procedure I did where I was able to download a super old version of the desktop app and use Chrome to get into the dev interface (or something like that) of the app, then use a script someone made to export everything. Maybe if you search around you can find some way to do this with the mobile app, but I am not optimistic.
One of my favorite things about the long Sanderson books is that even though they are SO LONG, they are paced so well that I never felt like it was too long. All the building up in the middle is important and enjoyable (at least to me), and it all wraps up so quickly and nicely at the end of every book.
My re-read for Stormlight Archive has been taking longer than I figured it would, so I just started Rhythm of War this morning. I even got Wind and Truth delivered a day early, but didn't get to start it lol.

It runs well and has lots of QOL features
A completely ridiculous lie on their part. What sane person would give /Microsoft/ any benefit of the doubt whatsoever? (nobody here so far, just saying in general) Microsoft owns insane cloud infrastructure and are also the publishers of the game. If there's a problem, it's one they chose not to address, not one that was simply "underestimated".
I actually agree, that could be pretty fun. That said this puts a lot of work / pressure on the DM so it is definitely something to be discussed rather than used to be lazy. (To be clear, I am not reading this into what you said. Just saying it out loud is all)
Remember when they promised a modding API? I sure do.
I have been looking forward to this game. I love the trucks in space aesthetic, silly as it is, and I love space games where you can leave the cockpit like that. I played a demo during Next Fest and it seemed a bit janky, but maybe they fixed it or maybe it was just me not gelling with it at the time.
