was originally waiting for a full release. Caved and played Ch1 & 2 back in January. Got to experience the anticipation of 3 & 4 without any of the waiting

Before Deltarune, I had never played an episodic game where subsequent chapters ever did better than the first one. Wait for the complete release if you must, but I have to say now is a really exciting time to get into it and I think it uses the episodic release well.
Kinda sounds like a murder cult. If only the press weren't so constrained by libel laws, they could print up some eye-catching headlines and really put some people's feet to the fire demanding to know more about the "Fort Brag / Fort Liberty Murder Cult"
...oh wait, that's the Brits. So the Yanks have no goddamn excuse.
you joke, but I'm pretty sure there's a general who's gone on record saying this exact thing to try and excuse deaths at Bragg
Mr. Mamdani represents the left’s failure to learn the lessons of the Cold War.
The story of communism ended with the USSR. Please don't ask us about our largest trading partner.
but it was the policies and conditions of the preceding years that gave Trump such futile ground! The continuing occupation in the middle east with clear goals or exit, bailing out the banks and not the people who lost their homes, almost all the economic recovery and growth after '08 being concentrated to the top 10% of owners!
What good is nostalgia for a past, when it is what evolved into the present we so bemoan?
Star Trek, also
The conditions of the past are the context from which the present evolved. Forgetting this is how reactionary movements begin!
Remember when things weren't like they are now, wouldn't it be better if we could wipe the slate clean and return to that?
Hell yeah, I remember. I remember yesterday becoming today!
lol, he still thinks the Turing test is somehow an indicator of something
a conversation is a collaborative art
although i've met people who seem to think its supposed to be a monologue with occasional and appropriate asides from the audince
can you imagine how livid dems would have been if, say, after the primary Bernie ran as an independent in 2016 or 2020?

...cus like I hear that and, well, you see the cover image. 
Is it just that so much more of the world is underdeveloped (overexploited) and it's just raw statistics? I guess I could see that explanation. But. Also. I've been to Pheonix.

And what are you doing about it Anon? Learn about ecological restoration or get out of my way.
if you read ecology books printed in the 70s and 80s, they were absolutely convinced that whales and tigers would not survive the century. There’s a whole plot in Star Trek about how whales are extinct actually. Here in Argentina, we were sure that yaguaretés would have gone extinct. It was thought that rainforests would be forever lost, because there was no way that such complex ecosystems would be restored.
Now, you can go to Península Valdés and find that the whale population there is growing year after year, people can see them from their windows. In Iberá, where yaguaretés were extinct for over 70 years, there’s now a population of 35 and growing, after being reintroduced just five years ago. As for rainforests?
We’ve becoming very, very good on restoring them. Natural environments, when given space and time to heal, can return to that they were. And after all, all natural enviroments are managed by human societies. It is up to us to implement a good management, un buen gobierno.
I firmly believe our children and grandchildren will see a restoration of Earth like never before.
Millions of people are working on this. You can learn about it, perhaps even become one of them. Or be a pointless doomer in my ask box. Your choice.
if there are people who care, it’s never a lost cause. at one point, kākāpō, a nocturnal flightless parrot species from aotearoa, were thought to be entirely extinct for decades. until 1977, where booming calls from males were heard on the small island of whenua hou. now, thanks to people who care so much they dedicated their lives to caring, kākāpō numbers are close to 300. despite the setbacks. despite the small gene pool causing infertility and health problems. people cared so fucking much that they survived. this is one of COUNTLESS, countless similar stories. I’m studying ecology so that I can go into conservation and all around me, every day, I see people who care enough to put years of their lives into learning about and solving environmental problems. I don’t know man. hope isn’t just some nebulous thing. it’s tangible if you do something with it.

I like the comparison, but yeah I agree with you. If there is any value made by attention it is vastly lower than the value made by labor -- and only really there in aggregate. Unlike having the output of someone's labor, having one person's attention is nothing. But having hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people's attention is powerful.
