Heavy petting is not forbidden, but frowned upon

I guess I'm just wondering why a for-profit company would want to incentivize price drops for consumers

So a private company is shaming the government into building infrastructure in their next funding, in the name of public good and wasted sales - that's fair enough

The EU only validates the signatures once the petition is closed

Well yeah, we have a character model for the giant demon and the giant demon has a huge use case.

A scarf? That's a model extension. Either you're asking me to create a whole new character with a scarf baked into the mesh that will deform weirdly as the character moves, or you're asking me to implement an accessory-anchor system all for the sake of a scarf (albeit other accessories might use this new framework) which will then need a physics/cloth sim to even look half good.

I have this fantasy often. Aliens come in, and are like

"Whilst we find the creative potential of your species commendable, the Gini Coefficient of your Planet is too high for you to join our Federation. Please rectify."

And then every month they just post the names and active addresses of all the wealthiest people on the planet, until the Gini Index goes down. The implementation of this transition is left as an exercise to the reader.

Anyone who is comfortable conversing within the confines of their own mind for hours on end without pause or distraction, is either a sage or a psychopath in my opinion
