Hey, maybe don’t have the existence of a department resting entirely on enrollment?

If they aren’t I’d be concerned lol

Ah gotcha, article is just written poorly then.

So if I’m reading it right they basically just tried it out and then decided to not use it, removing anything that used it? I can see how technically that it ‘was used at all in development’, but also seems a lil silly to pull the awards based on it.

They probably should have clarified how they used it a lot earlier, but I also don’t blame them for trying out a new tool.

But car batteries are expensive, and the ocean is so far away…

Wait shit actually? Didn’t see that yet, that’s cool

Both teams may be shit, but one is significantly more shit then the other. I hate the dem establishment as much as the next guy, but this is still a pretty big win.

Oh, it absolutely will be cool as shit if it is actually a realized thing, and I’ll probably play the shit out of it, it’s just been in development soooo long and had so many problems that at this point if they get it done great, just not holding out my hopes too much.

Vintage story is interesting, I do kinda like it, but imo terrafirmacraft, the Minecraft mod/overhaul the devs originally started on, is much more polished. It is different from VS, and there are things I like more about VS than TFC though.

Still a lil skeptical and waiting to see if they actually release it, but cool to see some progress regardless

Just because it makes sense/is expected and has a pretty simple explanation doesn’t mean it’s worth doing science on and reporting on

You don’t personally have to find it interesting, there is still value in tracking this though.

I mean to be fair, legal processes take time

The other big thing is it lowers the barrier to entry of making games.

We’re rich!

I mean yea he worked for blackwater, having a sticker on the fridge doesn’t make that any better or worse lol, I think if someone is okay with him being in blackwater or not this ain’t gonna change that

Oh boy I’m so surprised :O

Yea sounds about right lol

I literally did watch the video last time, and tbh I thought I did respond after you sent the timestamp but I’m guessing I like half wrote out a reply, got distracted and never finished lol, gotta love ADHD

Okay so I did actually watch it, basically what I’m getting is that purity testing is good and the only true leftists are the ones he agrees with, and only the furthest of the left deserve that label.

How is this productive? Is coalition building not valuable at all? Id even agree platner isn’t a leftist, just progressive at best. But even still, is there no value in supporting him against his conservative opponent?

Also, his comment about the amount of people who have military skeletons in their closet being miniscule is simply wrong. I looked it up, 6% of the population in the US are veterans. In Maine, where platner is running, it’s 9%. That’s a lot of people, for whom platner being a vet is a massive plus, and on top of that the general culture of respecting vets in the US cannot be discounted, as bad as you may see it.

More candidates like him are needed all over the place, from mayors to congresspeople. He proved that Americans want policy-focused progressivism, on the things that have been broken in this country for far too long.

Mamdani himself may not have the power to implement any national policy, but the race was so national I believe it showed people what is possible.

I mean, he basically had both parties, the president, all the billionaires, and the whole media apparatus working against him, and yet he proved that people like policy-focused progressives, getting more votes than any nyc mayor in like 20 years or something like that (I forget the actual number)

I’d say that was pretty good competition
