    Astro bot and balatro make sense. I hope balatro wins.

    Black myth is Chinese propaganda or psyOp. Has to be. People did not seem to care for this game?

    Erd is dlc which is BS. It will probably win cus these games are cult status.

    FF7 is weird. 1 part of many in a remake. People seemed pretty mid about it?

    Metaphor felt weird in the demo. These also reach cult status. I could see this winning though with the added recency bias.



  • There are places in the US, that when you buy a house or property, you are given a choice. You can build a sidewalk for it yourself, or you can pay the city/county for a sidewalk.

    The thing is, if you pay the city/county for the sidewalk, they stipulate that they can build that sidewalk where ever they want. This does not have to include in front of, or anywhere near, your house

    The US is a very strange place.

    Not sure where your getting the idea that you can’t defend yourself from the threat of harm or realistic perception of that threat. You absolutely can.

    Heck even if the perception isn’t reasonable you still can. Your case is just much harder to defend.

    If someone is just an ass and says YBMC to you that’s probably not legit, but context matters too. If it’s said in a threatening matter, that’s a threat plain and simple.

    As always flight should be the primary response but fighting off you can’t run would be fine.

    I’m the end, if you have to defend your life, then do so. Worry about the legality after. Don’t let someone hurt you because the Internet said the law isn’t on your side. Don’t get hurt cus the cops aren’t on your side, the cops are never on your side.

    I yell at any co worker about exactly this. We even deal with the public and they use terms and jargon no one will understand it leads to mistakes.

    It’s just weird gatekeeping.

    Oddly enough multiple classes I took at uni even covered communicating with simple terms, being understandable, and not using jargon. Yet here we are still…
