Increasing traffic surveillance to automatically ticket scofflaws who block bus lanes, and deploying police officers to enforce rules on 20 daily routes, up from 14.

Good. Anti social assholes blocking bus lanes (and bike lanes) need to be stopped. They probably have a primitive moral reasoning framework, so maybe punishment is the only thing that understand.

I recently reopened Witcher 3, and was kind of surprised by how the graphics aren't as lifelike as my memory. I remember being a lot more impressed by the bodies when it was new.

It's all in-group pandering and shitty petro-masculinity. No conservatives should be in power. They are bad people.

I think some games on steam you can just launch from the executable file. I rarely have, because my process is usually "open steam.. stare at list of games.. pick one", so steam is already open.

But yeah, at least it adds some value (proton magic, recording and screenshots, the overlay used to be real useful when i only had one monitor...)

I really disliked how leveling up made you weaker. Things scaled with your level faster than the stat gains empowered you. Completely stupid design.

The card game is also too rewarding and too obscure. Without a guide, you'd never catch on to stuff like "lose this card to this unnamed person, then win a better version back from this other unnamed person". Also various "everything is on fire! You wanna play cards?" moments really hamper the pacing and tone. But you want to play it, because it gives a ton of power.

Discouraging you from actually using magic was an interesting experiment, but I don't think it was fun. Maybe it could have been rebalanced, but as-is you just stocked up on magic for the stats.

I don't remember the story very well. I remember getting locked out of a lot of content because I went past a point of no return without realizing it.

Good. Break them up. Criminally charge their leadership.

You should be allowed to stand your ground and shoot dead anyone rolling coal. They're assaulting you and everyone around you.

You could go down that train of thought, but you'll find it impossible to make any decisions for fear of making things worse. "Should I put out this fire in my kitchen? No, what if the house has to burn down to stop double-mecha-hitler from being born??" is not a useful way of thinking.

If I saw a dude pop out of a time machine and shoot both of these fucks dead, I'd be like "yeah that makes sense".

Microsoft will continue on inertia for years. but it's basically a walking corpse full of parasites at this point.
