I do think they have a point: there's not many other engines I can think of that are quite as 'tangible' as theirs. Every object has its physical place in the world and can be picked up, manipulated,... in a way that's unlike other engines where the world just feels more static.

The only upside is that we might get another epically long Milo Rossi debunking

That honestly seems pretty low for friend.com

Although the fact they're developing hardware on less than a million dollar budget is bananas, let alone the other whack ideas

On the other hand, those coalition talks can take months or longer with the old government continuing to run things for sometimes over a year after the elections. Looking at you, Belgium

He'd probably do something similar on day 1 while at the same time starting to recuperate the action politically, and after a few days just go into full conspiracy or similar mode

Yeah, in fact I think that's a majority of those cases. Vocal minority of reactionaries and/or fans disappointed that their expectations weren't met despite the product on its own being good

It refers to the annexes you see growing out of the back of the house. People used to (and sometimes still do) start with a modest house, and then as time went on and money came in, build out into the yard, adding a new kitchen, toilet, shed, veranda, etc.

It has since also come to refer to things that get extended and patched up over time without a lot of coherence or forethought, like our tax codes (they just add rules, bonuses, penalties, etc. on top of the baseline instead of doing a thorough tax reform)

This is Belgium, it's a great example of what we call "koterijen"

I remember seeing a hypothesis that ADHD would have been beneficial in Hunter-gathering, as you would more quickly move from plant to plant rather than fully depleting a resource. It was just one study where they had a sort of game/simulation to test it though, so very early days on that theory.
