I still don’t get it!

** The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media. More alarming, some media outlets publish these same fake stories without checking facts first!

Thank you!

Immortals of Aveum launched in August 2023 amidst one of the busiest years of game releases in history, bookended by behemoths like Diablo 4, Starfield, and Baldur’s Gate 3. Ascendant Studios’ self-styled “Call of Duty with magic” experiment was compelling enough, and I personally think it deserved more attention, but it ultimately missed EA’s expectations by enough of a margin that about 45% of the studio’s workforce was laid off shortly after release.

Oof! That must be hard to stomach. Knowing it’s actually a quality product, but because the stars didn’t line up, you are let go…

All the same! She has the best bike. 😝

That tricycle looks like it would be fun to ride! I didn’t know they had those things for that long ago.

Are those con (sensation) trails I see? They do make more sense on the giant robot one though!

That’s just comparing two arbitrary numbers in a vacuum.

😂 Nice

As in… She had a normal vision?

“affectation”? Can someone explain to a none anglophone what Geordi meant by that?

Edit: nevermind, apparently I still remember how to use a dictionary… ‘Affectation noun behaviour or speech that is not sincere’

This is what the last paragraph is referring to.

Edit: sorry, I meant to reply to OP, but “oh well”, is also my response then!

Disclaimer: I did not read the article, so my response is to your comment only.

My two cents: you just described what an NCO might say. Commissioned Officers have the responsibility to manage the violence applied by the NCOs in such a way that civilians/non-combatants (of all nations, even/especially the enemy nation(s) civilians) are not armed whenever that is possible.

That’s the whole “professional” thing. Just like a doctor (a professional) can’t pick and choose who they help, or a lawyer (a professional) can’t decide he doesn’t like his client, so he’ll sabotage his defense, etc. An officier is a professional because he makes sure the violence applied by the members of the military that are under his command do not commit immoral acts (plundering, rape, murder, etc).

Most modern military forces extend that responsibility to NCOs though, so that every members have the responsibility to not follow illegal/immoral orders. But that’s another point…

Something similar happened in Canada a few decades ago. I came across a survivor of that episode a few years ago. He was still mad about it (understandably).

OMG! Really excited for this!

I just looked it up, and they even have full audio in French, for anyone who grew up with Goldorak in the ‘80s! 😀 (italian too, for anyone interested).

Thank you sir/mam!

That’s going to leave a mark!
