No such thing as EA customer support. It only exists on paper. It’s become cheaper to just wait for a lawsuit because you as an individual are worthless to them.

Execs are seeing a Fallout, everyone else seeing a Borderlands.
Would be a weird day to have execs be right.

A result of vibe coding perhaps?

Surveillance due to paranoia due to all the shady shit they’re doing.

Oh look, the live service FOMO tactic is leaking out. First they fail to protect the children, now they fail to protect themselves.

Read or write. Writing provides material to amaze for future sessions.

Sex was excluded from the theme and my thought was using that consideration.

Keep in mind that sexual intent isn’t a consideration.

I’d say that if you think of romance as something ephemeral or fleeting and of friendship as something grounded or permanent, then the two states can be reversed or interchangeable.

Then romance could be seen as chasing dreams while friendship pursues realism?

However we should also consider intent. Romantic feeling towards someone elevates them beyond the ordinary. It becomes a pursuit that gives out a part of oneself, in excess one might say. On the other hand, in order for friendship to reach that level of commitment or even higher, it’s inevitable to pass through a stage of romantic idealization in the literary sense of the other person’s attributes.

Complete intimacy means being a part of another’s life and they being a part of yours. And to fully trust another in every aspect is something that can only be achieved through the idealistic view of romance.

If we were to joke about it… They don’t call the intense, almost homoerotic friendship between men a bromance for nothing after all.

Friendship - separate lives with limited involvement.

Romantic - shared life, fully involved.

Doubt they want to solve it. More like make it out of sight, out of mind.

Why are you taking the worth for granted though?
