it was in a discussion on Bluesky, but nothing official.

I tried finding more info but couldn't, so theres probably nothing to it. I'll delete my previous comment as it was just unfounded rumours

I agree. The game development side of Nintendo are top notch, and care a lot about quality game design, fun, replayability, all the good stuff. These people do good work.

But the corporate/legal side of Nintendo, they are indeed raging assholes.

cliched yes, but I will always remember how scared as hell I was playing Silent Hill for the first time in high school, when you go down that dutch angle alleyway and the evil toddlers stab you to death...

i couldnt play any more for a few days haha, it was a pretty stand out memory for scary game stuff. Its hard to state how unexpected it was at the time, I hadnt played any early horror games, and I dont know how many similar experiences there were at the time (year 2000ish) so it really was brutal and surprising

Part of me was very happy the film did so well. I work in animation, and the industry is currently in the toilet due to the Zazlavs of the world - and a big success usually leads to more productions being greenlit, at least it used to.

But if an industry-leading studio like Pixar is treating their workers like a crappy sweatshop studio and had such tremendous success, that does not bode well. (They used to have a reputation for being an excellent, balanced place to work)

it looks extremely tasty! thank you for sharing the recipe - where is it from? ive never heard of plum pie, north america doesnt really do anything with plums (except maybe plum sauce for chicken fingers)

Well I mean, kinda. He does regrets not doing more when he was in government (as he has become significantly more left leaning) But I still wouldn't characterize Reich as doing nothing.

He did have major policy ideas that were stopped by Clinton's economic advisors, as well as the federal reserve (controlled by conservative ghoul Alan Greenspan, who Clinton kept on). Reich's initiatives and plans were effectively shuttered by the same ghouls who ended up ending Glass-Steagall, leading to the 2008 financial crisis and all manner of horrific economic consequences even today. So I would really attribute more blame to Clinton himself for not fighting the more conservative wings of his own administration (on health care reform, especially)

Has anybody given this game a try? I've been considering it for a while, but money is tight. Curious if it was worth it.

Or conversely, other other new simulation games you would recommend?
