@Krakenkatzi If they get in trouble with payment processors they allow you to continue to sell on the site but require you to handle the payment processing yourself. If you can find a way to do that you won't lose access to their marketplace even when PayPal throws a fit.
I like this framing very much because it reflects our principal, most fundamental bias towards the past. Our understanding of history is wrecked by the need of *nation states existing today* to find some imaginary precursors in the past, and build the imaginary line on ancestry.
@thdeadpool123@ndasfw@6c697374 Because the United States has all of its (federal) representatives allocated by first past the post elections, which means that you have to be running under one of the two big parties to even have a shot.
@Hijikato_en@aurahack18@itchio It has an entire section of the website for books and another for comics. Games are what the site is known for but the site is a general purpose digital storefront.
There should be room in academia for professors who don't publish, but who know things. Not dead wood, who stopped learning in 1995. I mean: leaves for the summer, reads all summer rather than write, smokes a pipe on the quad and will talk to you about stuff.
@kaisenso I find that good writing is much more interesting than most art. As long as you and your friends like what you are making it is a worthwhile pursuit.
@kaisenso …especially given your relatively small preexisting audience. Having a backlog helps grow an audience, so it makes sense to keep the work up.
@kaisenso The numeric popularity of any given work is largely random. The bigger the preexisting audience the less random it is. A piece not being numerically popular doesn’t mean it is bad, it is likely a consequence of the inherent randomness of popularity…
@Flailmorpho_ It’s a way to do that without a system of ransoming, despite that being an incredibly common practice historically. My guess is that GX didn’t want players to have to respect their enemies surrender and his successors are too cowardly to fix the issue.
@nowy_horyzont@EmmaMAshford@BretDevereaux Russia doesn’t have the industrial capacity to replace the stockpile of equipment they inherited from the USSR in a reasonable timeframe and the war has caused them to burn through a lot of it. NATO has a massive advantage in industrial capacity so equipment attrition favors it.
@psychnurse99117@simonateba There are two different governments in two different regions, one is interested in peace and the other are religious extremists. Besides non-democratic governments do not reflect the desires of their subjects.
@FejdaszRichard@BretDevereaux Do you want an untrained person to put in the electrical wiring for your house? It’s not about intelligence it’s about having the necessary training.
