The early games really leant into the true messiness of history, which was something I enjoyed about them -- I would have played the shit out of THIS.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

This is not an actor. Stop calling it an actor. An algorithm with a coat of digital paint is still an unfeeling tangle of code that cannot perform the function of being an actor.
