I mean you'd think it would be obvious what happens when someone who attempted a coup gets back into power.
Seriously what is up with this user interface, does it mine a Bitcoin on the UI thread every time you hit left or right on the remote, what gives?

It can come in very handy when your engine of choice doesn't fully expose a feature to visual scripting, or just allow you to make your graphs simpler.
Even when an industry has challenges, I've never been a fan of telling young people "if you're thinking of getting into the industry: don't".
If someone is strongly motivated to pursue a career path, they're absolutely going to do it no matter what you say, being overly negative helps no one.
Just saw it in Toronto a few weeks ago, was really good! I was really impressed with the car, as I didn't expect anything like that

Like a van with a catapult on it, or with a tyres set up to launch two by fours or something.

Slaughter of the Soul is one of _the_ classic metal albums of the 90's. Not to mention all of his other contributions to related genres.
Will definitely be missed

Seems to me that since the pandemic,some temporary foreign workers were used to halt the upward wage pressure in sectors like fast food jobs during the "no one wants to work any more" era.
And people believe Conservatives are going to piss off business owners who benefit from that? Lmao

People on forums asking questions like "hey I broke my leg, but I'm not on my parents' insurance. Can I just let it heal naturally? I can just walk it off, right?"
It took me a long time on the internet, before I could process American healthcare stories as being real and not something from a Charles Dickens story.
I mean I knew intellectually that they weren't lying, but it took a while to fully accept it as real if that makes sense.
Sure is a good thing Trump has an extra two Supreme Court justices, allowing him to basically make the law say whatever he wants.
Say, who was responsible for that happening? I forget now.
It really is a shame none of this stuff is ever seen externally, because some of it is extremely funny.

Someone had made Sam's toddler daughter the player character for a laugh, watching her going around doing hand to hand kills had me in tears
Back when I was still at Ubisoft, I had a folder on OneDrive full of a decades worth of blooper reel videos that are now sadly lost to time.

This also happened for particle effects too, so that one time Sam was bleeding out of his arse constantly
We also had some great ones like being able to perform hand to hand attacks normally reserved for humans, so pulling dogs off of ledges or out of windows, which looked hilarious. Dogs using the heavy hand to hand denial animation on you. Dogs opening doors when searching for you.
