Played it somewhat recently and the voice acting isn't terrible, but i was assuming they'd want to do a localization pass and record new lines for the remaster

This is practically jaywalking compared to the other people in this meme.

Yes, I do. If they're not or can't volunteer to be part of the military there are other ways they can contribute to national defense. See: WW2

Sorry but if your country is literally being invaded by hostile forces and your own country's government didn't commit some heinous act to invite said invasion (genocide, or retribution for their own invasion), you are a hopeless coward trying to dodge that draft. We're not talking about fucking Vietnam.

I'm guessing the kids comment was about pets. 'No real bills' I'm guessing she still lives at home and pays some token amount towards rent/utilities.

We can speculate all we like, but I could see this going either way, and I'd be frustrated if my 24 year old couldn't support themselves too.

Kinda reductive, no? All it takes for a man to be trans is wearing heels?

A lion uses his full strength, even against a rabbit.

Likely intentional. I'm guessing they have a name in mind for either gender but don't want to reveal it.

Shame the game wasn't better. I wanted to like it, the voice acting was solid, but ultimately the combat was unpolished and feels like a early PS2 game.

I hate to say it but I feel like the devs are gonna blame the anti-woke backlash, and while that is obviously a factor, the game simply isn't that great. Needed some more time in the oven IMO, there is the soul of a good game in here.

You don't see them in the wild because they're terminally online babies who can only exist in an internet bubble, and likely don't represent anything but a tiny fraction of vocal, obtuse jerkoffs compared to the population of vegans.

I'm a recent MBA grad and I can attest that stuff like this was an important part of the curriculum re: sustainable growth. Cutting corners, focusing on short term profits is always a dead end. When leaders get lazy and don't drive a culture that is aligned with the company's mission, values, and obligations, decay is inevitable. The Boeing board of directors is as complicit in all of this as their executives are.

I don't necessarily believe you have to have deep expertise in a given field to govern a business in said field. Often it's even an advantage to come in with a fresh set of eyes. But you need to at least RESPECT that field and its experts and be forthright about taking responsibility when you take action intended to eliminate waste. If the only metric you are using is revenue, or operating profit, or whatever, you are creating an organization that is incentivized to maximize those at the expense of other, core-business-critical factors. If you're making something inconsequential, by all means take those risks and race to the bottom. But when people's lives are at stake, you need to have reverence for what your business actually does.
