It’s by Playground Games; Lionhead Studios was shuttered half a decade ago.

Bugs? No sir, here at Bethesda those are called “features” or, as we like to say, “Modder’s Delight”.

I deleted mine nearly directly on the spot when the news about shutting out 3rd-party apps hit the net. No big deal.

One great thing about about software is you don’t have to agree with or care about what the creators thoughts and beliefs are, software is at the end of the day just software.

It really isn’t though - no-one dared touch ReiserFS after the creator became a wife-murderer even though it, supposedly at the time, it was quite the piece of advanced code.

8.1 was better than 7 in every way though?

Non-binding treaties negotiated under duress that all fell apart the moment the ink was put to paper, through which Russia tried to control Ukrainian internal affairs?

…nice, your stance must mean Russian-ones meant shite before the war even began then right?

In the last century, Europe (and Germany in particular) nearly destroyed Russia.

Russia entered WW1 on the same spaghetti-treaty-basis as every other nation that entered the conflict of their “own” accord.

The USSR entered WW2 as a German ally and tried to once again erase Poland and the Poles as the common German/Russian imperialist ambition required. And instead of preparing for the inevitable war that literally everyone but Stalin saw coming, the Soviets collectivly spent the mid-to-late 1930s partaking in the Great Terror, nearly destroying their own nation for the sake of satiating a madman’s ego and paranoia.

If you’re Putin, and you continue to see a military alliance year after year, encroaching further and further up to your borders, what the hell are you supposed to do?

…stop promoting chauvanism? Stop trying to revive the USSR against the will of those who willingly left? Stop invading your neighbours? There’s like a million different ways to remain as a anti-democratic leech-state in this world without needing to use military force.

If the USSR expanded the Warsaw Pact right up to incorporate Mexico and Canada, what do you reasonably think our response would be?

It’s nice you think the US can just arbitarily expand NATO without the consent of other members, that joining NATO isn’t a choice. Likewise, it’s nice you apparently don’t get it was the same for the Warsaw Pact - Mongolia wasn’t allowed in on it as European Communists opposed having to support potential conglict between the USSR and China.

Just look at Russia’s military defense budget. If you think is a country preparing and readying itself for any dream of imperialistic aspirations, you are crazy.

They’ve invaded two former members of the USSR, have active orders to invade a third if the oppurtunity arises, and have drawn up plans for invading a fourth-one. Sorry, but I’ll rather accept the apparent reality that Russis is a myopic yes-man state that is currently doing war and committing genocide against Ukrainians.

are the costs to rehab really more than razing the building and starting over?

I didn’t mean to imply that; of course starting from something is going be cheaper than doing it from scratch, but in the case of retrofitting office-buildings to apartments, the savings could maybe amount to ~20%, optimistically. Now, savings of 20% isn’t anything to scoff at, but when you’re talking about a scyscraper (which, in New York) that costs upwards of 20-million USD per floor, is a final savings of 20% on the final bill worth it, for a developer, when you could raze the building and make new everything that you can price higher? Keep in mind in this scenario the reused building is supposed to house “affordable” apartments, meaning yes the developer saves 20% on the final bill, but they also lose out on lower rents.

You need to incentivise this.

I deleted both my accounts (one active, the other inactive) and gave Reddit a rather passive agressive “you know what you did” when the news first broke. I miss r/Askhistorians and r/Heraldry, but Reddit is dead to me at this point.

The majority of office-spaces aren’t suitable for that, and even those that are aren’t viable as market-products - you’d need to basically rebuild from the ground up for most places, which doesn’t make sense economically, as if you’re going to do that, why not just literally rebuild it after razing the office-tower, resulting in a more attractive, on all fronts, end-product? As for those spaces that are suitable for retrofitting, the lower rent-levels activists clamour for simply don’t cover the expense of redoing a high-earning office-space into affordable housing, doubly so as that actually has a knock-on effect on the rent-levels for the remaining office-spaces, bringing it down as companies actively desire to not share spaces with normal tenets.

If you want to retrofit office-towers into affordable housing you’ll need massive incentives; rewrite your building-codes and allow certain exemptions for these retrofits; and finally, wring in profiteering with legislation companies are actually afraid of.
