Every single thing said you've here is just fabricated. None of it is substantiated.

You're delusional. In what ways has he ever "fought accountability for it"?

I'd rather hear what they have to say on it; otherwise it's just using them to make a point. That's how the tabloids publicized them as.

Mistakes happen; people are all kinds weird; people are fallible; lapses of judgement happen. Apologizes were made. No damages were sought. Everybody moved on.

It's wild how little people are willing to forgive when there's so many real monsters out there; it's no perspective on the world IMO.

Do they refer to themselves as victims? They didn't feel need to seek punitive justice, and as far as I know don't make rounds publicizing their stories. Sure it was all publicized, but at what point is a mistake a mistake between adults? Looking through the comments people are hardpressed to "forgive" like there are actual puritans walking among us. Louis C.K. didn't harm anyone involved, immediately admitted to it all, and apologized.

Because Weinstein literally manipulated, blackmailed, and raped women - a true monster. That's quite a huge difference between what he and Louis C.K. did, but he's ostracized just the same.

Some people just cannot escape this kind of virtuous blackhole - apologies and amends are just never enough, because nothing is for some people.

The sex pest was called out. He lost multiple ongoing projects and hasn't had any notable work for literal years. He was never taken to court and has still apologized for both his behavior and directly to the women involved.

Clearly none of that is enough for most people, so what is enough do you think? Like, the man was no Weinstein; get real.

Thanks for the recommendation! I haven't tried Sins yet but I have tried Solaris and wasn't a super fan of it; there's a lot going on and a lot of reading -> I assumed it was very similar.

For me personally, I think the sweetspot is Medieval and physics-based. Like, in Starcraft the micro is subtle, but still mostly insta-hit; probably easier to program. In Empire Earth, you could micro the hell out of longbows and Trebuchets because they would shoot to a specific location that you could move away from. As the ages progress though, the guns then lasers are all just insta-hit and that takes away the army micromanagement for me. I'm not a super fan of just build X to kill Y and just throw the armies at each other.

I really will have to give Sins of a Solar Empire a try; it's not the first time it's been recommended to me and it has piqued my interested in the past.

This is what I loved about Empire Earth.

You'd start as Cavemen and need to build up your economy before transitions to the next age. You might be able to get lucky rushing with some Cave-Soldiers but if you were too slow your rock-throwing would get rolled by arrows.

So then the game turned from a military race to an expansion and economy race to move to the best age as quickly as possible. The maps were soooo big, but borders would be defined in early ages, so eventually you'd bump with your neighbor.

Then the negotiating starts. Alliances and resource trades - could be broken at any time but 2 Bronze Age better than 1.

I miss slowburn RTS. I hate the big person on small map look of Age of Empires. I wish Manor Lords woulda been dev'd harder into a solid RTS game, now that's a big map.

Nice - I didn't realize that the GoG installer was portable.

I wish their settings had custom connections. Like, If I could have a portable version that connects to my NAS and downloads/installs my offline/saved GoG games; that'd be the sweet spot. If anyone has suggestions for a setup like this lemme know!

Yeah, I could see this too. I see a lot of other devs / indie devs doing Design Works for their games and GoG offering something like this could be cool.

Ugh, I would love a portable/offline launcher/installer for my GoG game files.
