Bonelab was barely even a game, it was basically a demo for the Marrow engine. I still enjoyed it, but 100% the core focus was to demonstrate the capabilities of their physics engine.

Again, you put me in a room with democratic leadership and I'll scream their flaws in their face. But this isn't a room of democratic leadership. How exactly does screaming about the flaws of the DNC to the voters accomplish anything?

It's in the best interest of the DNC to adopt policies and campaign approaches that have the best chance of winning. It's in the best interest of leftist voters to keep fascists out of office.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying that yelling about it here is not only ineffective, it's counterproductive. I'm not DNC leadership, and I'd wager good money that no one else on this site is DNC leadership. So yelling about their flaws here doesn't communicate with them, all it does is discourage the voters that are here from big tenting against the fascists.

But clearly the right play is to learn nothing from this, and continue to fracture the left and foement apathy in leftist voters. That's been working great so far, right?

Just because it wasn't successful doesn't mean it wasn't the rational choice. It's very possible that she would have done worse if she hadn't courted conservatives, and possible she would have done even worse than that if she'd gone full tilt toward progressives. Hindsight is easy.

Liz Cheney represents conservatives who don't want to vote for Trump. That demographic represents more votes than leftists. That's what happens when you play hard to get too hard, the person you're after gives up and goes after someone else.

Big tents absolutely win elections, that's really the only thing that does. Seats at the table are incentives to get people in the tent. But if they don't get the votes , they don't get the table, and any seats they offer are worthless.

You put me in a room with Democratic party leadership, and I'll tear into them with all the rightful criticism they deserve. You put me in a room with voters, before the election, I will sing their praises. I'll advocate their victories and downplay their flaws.

Not because the victories are substantial, and certainly not because their flaws aren't terrible. But there are two tents big enough to win the office, and the other one is worse and backed by lockstep support.

Leading up to the election? Very reasonable. The Democrats are frauds, but they're not as bad for the left as Republicans. It's in our best interest to big tent with them for damage mitigation, to prevent the fascists from gaining power. Criticism, however deserved, helps the fascists.

After the election? Have at 'em. They're not as terrible as the Republicans, but they're awful nonetheless.

I think the Steam release definitely makes it easier, especially with the tutorial. I tried to get into the original version about 10 years back and let's just say going in blind was a very different experience.

Dwarf Fortress, probably.

It's when you talk through a problem with an inanimate object, traditionally a rubber duck. The process of explaining the problem can help you organize your thoughts and identify otherwise elusive problems. It's a common technique used by programmers debugging their code.

The worst part is draconic abortion bans also hurt those trying to have children. No one's getting recreational third trimester abortions. You picked out a name, painted the nursery. Late term abortions are tragedies to all parties, and only ever happen because of life threatening conditions.

I wouldn't want to plan a child when any complication could mean death.
