The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection.

And are you a US postal carrier or just some irritable crank looking for problems to be irritable about?

Really! I got started on Simutrans and had a lot of difficulty moving to oTTD. The straw that broke the camels back was having to lay down rail tile by tile instead of routing between two point.

I have thousands of hours in Urban Terror. I wish the jump mechanics could be enabled in other games. I have so many neurons dedicated to it.

Simutrans, surely.

Every couple of years I throw 40-80 hours into (eg) https://crawl.akrasiac.org:8443/#lobby

I agree and have often said the same thing! If you're going to park illegally, inconvenience drivers, don't ENDANGER vulnerable users!

Delivery drivers don't "have to". They are exploiting an externality and making me less safe so that they can make more money than they would if they took the extra two minutes to park legally and use a dolly. They are literally monetizing my endangerment.

You kind of have to be going out of your way to be getting exposed to it.

I was a total Rust junkie, I was playing 40 hours a week. Then they dropped support for the Linux client and wouldn't let Proton users do EAC. I had to stop cold turkey. But I fucking did it, because fuck capital-driven operating systems designed to exploit me and my own computer against me.

I'm sad that even among leftist observers there was very little debate over whether "making alcohol easier to access" was a terrible idea to begin with.

You mean they just happen to have to do what they wanted to and planned to do anyway? Wow! That's so convenient for them.
