The original devs got screwed over by the publisher ZA/UM. The devs actively encourage people to pirate the game so the scumbag publisher won't get to profit off what they created.
It's a great game and the OG devs want you to play it for free by pirating :>

That international arms dealer for WNBA player trade reminded me of that kid in middle school that traded away his Mox Ruby for a Serra Angel because it looked cooler.
The death toll from a series of brazen attacks on churches and synagogues in Russia's mainly Muslim region of Dagestan rose to 20 on Monday after gunmen went on the rampage in coordinated attacks in two of the republic's most important cities.
I take issue with labeling this game as "hotly anticipated". Literally did not hear about this game until now and from what I'm reading it seems like another boring ARPG with a new coat of paint slapped onto the same mechanics.
Subnautica is absolute fire all the way through. But then again quitting before completion, forgetting all about it, and being able to perpetually start anew as it were your magical first time playing sounds like a pretty good plan for game edging :>

It's like the people that unwittingly signed up for recurring donations to Trump's campaign and are suddenly finding their bank accounts drained. Hard to feel sorry for these chumps.
I'm struggling to figure out how to make friends without having Instagram or any other social media. I have discord but don't use it much. I see all my acquaintances in discord channels and sharing Instagram posts and stuff. It's already hard for me to make friends, but I feel like not having any of the traditional social media...
Remember when the assholes at United overbooked a flight and sent someone to knock a doctor's teeth out and carry him off a plane? The doctor refused since he was on his way to oversee the opening of a clinic he founded for veterans.
He and his wife started the clinic as a way to thank American servicemen and women, because he was plucked out of ocean waters by the U.S. Navy as he fled communism in his home country of Vietnam about 44 years ago, he said.
Dude is so dumb he got PERMANENTLY disqualified from joining the crayon eaters club. And this was during a time they were desperate for new recruits too lol

I dunno. No matter how "heat tolerant" plastic claims to be repeated exposure to high heat seems like it'd increase the chance you'd be dosing all your foods with micro plastics and other plastic related chemicals.
Like I'd never put anything made of plastic that touches food in the microwave myself, heat resistant or not :#
Tapping the corner of the lid on the counter or cutting board a few times will also loosen the lid nicely most times. The main reason this works is it creates a small gap in the lid that equalizes the negative pressure inside the jar to atmospheric which is what makes screw top jars so hard to open most times
Star control 3 was garbage that was star control in name only.
Star control: Origins was made by assholes at Paradox Entertainment that tired to steal the IP from the original creators. The game was basically a pretty soulless carbon copy of star control 2 without the witty dialogue or creative story telling of the original.
Neither of these "prequel/sequels" were made by the original creators Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III.
That's why this Kickstarter is fire AF. The OG creators have full control here and are making it with the original vision that made sc2 great!
They even released the original Star control 2 for free on steam in preparation:
