Selling 2000 shares while retaining over 3000000 shares seems to indicate that this is for quarterly tax payments, which are due this week.

I'm not defending any actions of Unity.

The author / headline writer are being disingenuous or just clickbait chasing.

In my recollection sync for reddit had multiple long gaps in communication from the dev, including pretty shortly after subscriptions were first announced. I appreciate the desire to be paid, but I didn't find it clear that there were ongoing development or support efforts.

I literally read this while waiting for shaders to process on first run. Good timing and thanks!

I have a Zenfone 9, and it's fine basically. The size, 3.5 mm jack, and battery life are all good.

There currently isn't a boot unlocker from Asus though there apparently used to be one. The UI is pretty stock-ish, so it isn't too bad, but I do wonder about updates in the future.

I tried this for the first time over the past week or so. The driving immediately stuck out as the weakest point, so having more travel options sounds good.

I kinda wish they had just RGGed it and put everything in like a five block radius. I'm extremely early, but the city and environment just feel bad.

No, they are owned by Relx (fka Reed Elsevier), known for PAX and the scam which is the academic publishing industry.

U.S. Steel has brand new currently non union facilities in Arkansas. For sure anyone buying the company definitely wants these.

Nippon Steel says they would keep older (unionized) facilities in Pennsylvania open. Union leadership has said that they don't believe them.

U.S. Steel has said that they might close older facilities if the sale doesn't go through. Union members who work at the plants say that they believe Nippon Steel will protect their jobs and disagree with leadership.

IMO this is defyingly more of a "that's capitalism baybee!" than anything else.

Good analogy! The cars seem to turn by just rotating around the center axis so it holds there too.

Like a Dragon is on GOG without Denuvo, nice. I hadn't realized that before, I'm definitely gonna pick that up.

It was smooth on primal, I only saw significant queues the first day or two.

I'm not sure I love the half broken DC travel system, though that is sort of a different issue.

I've read the first couple chapters of Dreamsnake by Vonda N. McIntyre which I picked up after looking through the bingo thread.

I haven't read any of her work before, and am enjoying it so far. I'm finding the prose pretty crisp and readable.

That seems reasonable, they seem consistent about the 'godling' thing.

I think any explanation as to why Shar would personally care would tie the scene together at least a little.

Overall, liftoff has a pretty decent amount of customization. Posts can be full cards, compact, or compact without thumbnails. A full width image is shown if the post is expanded.

Font size for the header, title, and body are separately adjustable. The 'action bar' (share, reply, vote, etc) does not appear to be resizable.

I was unable to find a way to browse a list of subscribed communities, which I generally find useful.

This definitely seems like a good start, I'll definitely be following development.

I quit playing partway in.

Imo writing was a major weakness. They were going for the sardonic Fallout-y tone, but didn't get there. The humor wasn't funny, and the writers didn't appear to really have anything to say about humanity or capitalism - the themes the story was supposedly about.

This was definitely not helped by having every conversation be an extreme super close up with the npcs starting deadeyed straight in to the camera.

Combat was pretty meh. It has the worst weapon upgrade system I have ever seen. The player just pays money to make the number go up. Then in the next planet over, everyone has "pistol II" or "rifle II" which does way more damage anyway. I guess if one was being extremely generous, this could be interpreted as a gaming meta commentary but the game doesn't earn this.

Overall, it just kinda felt like they were operating off of a "fallout in space" checklist, which made everything feel generic and boring.

I have an anti-recommendation for Pathfinder Kingmaker.

They almost have a good RPG here but the combat is so frequent and the encounter design is just wack. The second to last dungeon is the worst I have ever experienced.

Normally I stop once I'm not feeling it. I'm not really sure why I pushed through here.

For the record, Liftoff does actually have the communities on the bottom menu bar. I think i was confused because this is hidden when browsing a specific community. If one hits the back button / gesture, the menu appears again.

How does this compare to Kingmaker?

I spite finished that and the experience definitely soured me on other Owlcat games.

Yeah I'm going to keep playing, but obviously not until next week. I thought that they were done changing stuff.
