Objectively yes, I'm not even sure that's a question.

I have some serious antinatalist leanings, but if one is going to live (assuming decent quality of life and what not) more life is always going to be objectively better.

We force life itself on them without their consent, so ensuring they actually live past childhood seems like a package deal...

considering how fast we're speed running climate change I don't even think the present cares about the future...

Though I agree bard isn't the best name, gemini is a worse name.

Bard has connotations, but by it's self it makes one think of a person that talks well.

WTF is gemini? It is a twin, but this is a singular product. Beyond that it's just generic. It doesn't tell you what it does at all.

it also get's caught in stupid loops.

this game is fun for a bit, but shallow once you realize the gimmick.

you can go completely random bullshit go and get "super cyberwolfman zombie phoenixman" that's nonsense, of course it's "first discovery!"

Not for sales purposes, but I don't know what brand the bandaids I have in the cabinet are, but if i ask for one that's what I'll call them...

That cat is out of the bag, that term has gone napkin or bandaid.

I'm confused, you're lobbing this as if it's a gotcha or insult.

No matter what you think of them as a company Steam is a license to print money, of course basically everything they do is in service of it...

>It was a mistake.

What do you mean, the game is objectively solid and is very much a continuation of the Boulders Gate series. It has flaws, but personally I think it's the best crpg i've played in years (and without nostalgia filters).

Hey BE why do you pirate media and refuse to subscribe to streaming services?

This is why...

Do you honestly think any significant amount of people will put up with the setup, latency, and inability to use their bank's website that would entail?

Most people don't know how the internet works, don't care as long as it works and do not think about it beyond that.

No conspiracy, the books sell. People buy and enjoy them. Not my thing, but it is what it is.

If you don't connect it to the internet it's not a smart tv...

It consistently plays thing which are clearly not songs in it's auto playlists, it has no consistent normalization or quality, and makes finding albums more difficult than it needs to be.

It is an algorithm slapped over youtube rather than a music service.

Youtube music isn't an equivalent product.

Frankly it's garbage and when they finally pull the trigger and kill google music I'm going to stop paying them.

Was going to post this, then got caught up reading it and you beat me too it.

Good read, interesting fixes.
