@jaalmo: the idea of a copyright is pretty off base because people who appropriate the work of another culture almost never have to give back the money they make off of their appropriation. For exampl...

Cultural appropriation etiquette isn't that hard. Don't recreate the music or art of another culture and claim to have invented it or profit off of it (the Elvis problem). And don't treat another cul...

@ltcolumbo: I don't get paid overtime, so my company doesn't ask me to do it. I've done it maybe a handful of times over a couple of years. I'm doing fine.My understanding in most gaming crunch situat...

@ballisticbooger: I think you are both wrong about your assertion that the industries with the most overtime hours are the highest paid and that the tradeoffs are always made willingly. I can't just c...

@ballisticbooger: I think you are pretty clearly misinterpreting the critiques of crunch. People who criticize crunch in gaming often also criticize greater than 40 hour work weeks in all other indust...

@ballisticbooger: I'll assume you're actually asking in good faith. I have never met someone who likes working more than a 40 hour week who has any other non-work commitments in their life. By forcing...

I gave the first game a shot. I won't touch this one.

You need a never option.
