Gamers have such incredibly unreasonable demands of indies it's sort of a wonder anything gets made at all.
I could never fault an indie dev for just wanting to withdraw entirely from public from what are deeply wild, unfair or aggressive demands on their passion projects from 'gamers'.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

I am changing my recommendation about buying ByHeart baby formula.
Earlier, I suggested not buying it “for the next little while”.
Now, I suggest considering “never” buying it.
An “organic” product does not mean a safe product.

Personally against dnd rogues using heavy armor
It would break all immersion.
Rogues can only stealth in medium or light armor, because it’s made of Hide.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
