Agreed. I have bounced off this game a few times for similar reasons. For a game that is about a cyberpunk future, it felt so much like a gta clone. Having played the ttrpgs, I think I just have a different version of the world in my head, and the games version just feels off.

The shooter got mustard and onions EVERYWHERE!

They will also need rigorous safety testing before a new product like this is even allowed to be sold.

Welcome to the world according to Musk. These things will be out in the wild, mangling people and spontaneously combusting before a safety inspector can get within a mile of Tesla.

You’ve already won Elon. You’re a trillionaire. You don’t need to find new ways to rape the planet and its inhabitants. Please just fuck off and leave the rest of us to die in peace.

There are different sets of primaries used when we talk about screen, print, light, and paint.

Most people learn RBY through painting, whether as a child, or in art classes at school, and assume it applies to all colour.

“Yeah! The real primary colours are CMY!”

Also bullshit.

Our RGB primaries are a simplification that comes from availability of pigments. While blue was originally a very rare and valuable pigment made from precious stones, it was still more available than magenta or cyan, which are made synthetically.

All of the following is taking paint mixing into mind.

When looking at a continuous colour wheel:

You can see where each colour sits on the spectrum. When you consider a RBY palette, we are limited to essentially the colours in this triangle:

Mixing a vibrant Purple or Green is often difficult with a basic rby colour palette, and a Magenta or Cyan is impossible. We define a primary colour as “foundational colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours”, which means that CMY are real primaries, right? Well, if we look at the CMy palette:

We DO get a wider range of colours, but you’ll notice that a true purple, green, blue, and red are still outside of our range. You can get a pretty close red with Yellow and Magenta, but it will never be as vibrant as a pure Red pigment. So then Red is a primary?

When painting, you should use the colours that you need for the work, and mix from there. The ‘primary colours’ are a tool to teach students the theory of colour mixing. It is not a perfect guide, but teaching complex colour theory to novice painters is just intimidation. Most people get an intro to art, learn RBY, and then leave art, don’t think about it again until a TikTok titled “school LIED to you” introduced CMY.

EDIT: this is from the perspective of an artist. I am not an expert, and certainly got something wrong in here, but the primary argument has always annoyed me

Because a depression is going to make banks sympathetic to the poors? Don’t bet on it.

Any of the Hadrosauridae. Probably Lambeosaurus, specifically for the cover to one of the Dinotopia paperbacks:

More recently it has been determined that hadrosaur likely walked most frequently on all fours, with a larger tail. Still amazing looking creatures (credit to Gabriel Ugueto for the art):

Laying the groundwork for their pedo shit.

The birth rate is falling. It can only mean one thing! Teen sperm is failing! But fear not! My merry band of pedophiles patriots is here to impregnate your teens! Mandated by our glorious leader, king of the pedophiles!

The fun with contract work is that there are often laws in place to protect the employee, but there’s always some caveat that the employer can use to just not extend the contract anymore.

In Australia the law is that you can only extend a contract worker once, with what I assume is the intention that you would then hire them permanently if you liked their work enough to extend them. What actually ends up happening is that contract workers are now looking for jobs more often because companies LOVE contract workers, but hate the idea of offering anyone a permanent position. It’s cheaper for them to roll through inexperienced contractors.

This is the same argument, just stretched out.

Why do one person’s past decisions (to not go to university / to take on and pay off debt) mean that people in the future should not benefit from a better system?

Education is great! Whether it is through college, or vocational training, or on the job learning. If removing student debt can allow people to earn one type of education with less stress, how is that not a benefit?

And how many of these comedians hold their tongue regarding religion and people of power when performing in their home country? Or when touring internationally on non-state-funded tours?

Don’t take my opinion of these comedians as anti-Saudi. I was plenty anti-Saudi before this. If these ‘comedians’ agreed to take money from the US president to not make mean jokes about him, I’d be just as disgusted at their lack of spine.

Not the same scenario. The equivalent would be these comedians doing a set that was paid for by the White House, with a list of restrictions on what could be said. Which would receive just as much backlash

War against who? Do we have the perpetrator? Do we know their political affiliation? The Trump shooter was a registered Republican. Are they waging war against their own party?

Obviously they don’t need evidence to be horrifically violent shit stains, they’ve managed that well enough so far.

This is somehow worse than I imagined. This looks like the sort of coded calling card a serial killer who dismembers women would leave at the scene of his crimes.

I love the devs previous game, Another Crab’s Treasure, for its tough but fair gameplay, and really well implemented progression. I was a little disappointed to discover that Peak leans more into the multiplayer, emergent gameplay, “eternal beta” feel of many indie games today. The concept seems fun, and it can apparently be played solo, but all of the gameplay footage I have seen from non-devs is people screaming frantically at each other about some new feature while nothing happens.

I might be a hypocrite though, because I am interested in the upcoming game Big Walk from House House.
