Most of these games are not even "like" minecraft other than they are survival/builder games, but the one that is most "like" minecraft they didn't even list.
Colony Survival. Its a minecraft game that has you raise and automate villager jobs that has a constant stream of zombies attacking your banner at your base and you cannot block the path or you go into siege mode and your colonists starve. The more you build and research, the more your threat level and the more zombies and stronger zombies come after you.
Other than that, the world itself is much like minecraft when it was first released. This game literally could have been a standalone DLC/MOD to minecraft.
Its a fantastic game, still active development. Just one developer I think with a friend who handles the PR/community stuff.
Not to make things more complicated, but I thought the tva was outside time and space. There is just one tva for all universes. Not sure how it could be a different tva.
@naryanrobinson: I'm not sure why you are so angry. I thought we were just having a civil discussion here.
"Your rebuttals are about as deep as an eggcup, delibarate misquotes of what I've said, or emotional outbursts with little relevance."
I chose specific items you spoke about and gave detailed thought out response on how I thought you were mistaken. I also brought several angles or sides(including your own) to the conversation instead of just the one you are trying to sell.
Please tell me where I misquoted you. I only quoted you once and it was word for word, I paraphrased other parts and I fail to see where I was inaccurate in what you said.
I had little to no emotion in my reply to you, and everything I stated was in direct reply to something specific you said, so I fail to see how there was little relevance in what I said.
"I said,
“...the modern American worker statistically closer to slavery than that of any other modern developed country on earth.”
And your insight into that was,
“Equating the modern American worker to slavery is just ridiculous”"
You forgot to include the rest of my reply, "... you are just using trigger words to make a point and get people riled up."
I stand by my statement. You are saying working in America is "statistically closer to slavery than any other modern developed country on earth", with absolutely nothing to back it up except for your words and emotions. You have provided no factual information to support this opinion. People who use these triggering words like "slavery" in their arguments are just do it to get a rise out of people.
A trigger word (also known as a power word) is an emotionally colored word or expression used to provoke a psychological reaction in readers by involving their imagination.
Power words appeal to all types and shades of human emotions."
"Assuming a slave has zero flexibility, zero benefits, and zero pay in work,
you can use actual statistics to prove me right."
Please provide references to those statistics that "prove you right." I doubt you can find any statistic that shows American workers get zero pay.
"And from the richest country in the history of the world no less,
i.e. the country with the least potential excuses for it."
If you are referring to the US, it is not the richest country in the world, nor does it have a history of being the richest. Neither is France since that is where this article is talking about anyway.

"So either you have a) severe reading comprehension problems,
b) serious critical thinking deficiencies,
c) you're a liar,
d) all of the above."
A) I comprehended everything you said and explained how your post had flaws and gave detailed, thought out responses on how and why.
B) Can you provide where I was deficient in my critical thinking? I was pretty specific on pointing out the flaws I saw in your post and even provided explanations as to why. I also provided additional angles and points of view to your conversation, something you failed to do.
C) Not sure what this is even in reference to. Please elaborate. When a debate turns to name calling... https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/bias-fundamentals/202002/do-name-calling-and-ignoring-facts-work
"It's literally, factually true."
Just because you say its factually true, doesn't make it so. Please provide references to back up your claims.
@naryanrobinson: so many flaws with your statement, I don't even know where to begin.
You analogy about running out of neighborhoods, in your scenario, that would be the problem of the person who doesn't like loud music(the employee) who would run out of neighborhoods(companies) to go to, not the people playing loud music(employer) so your analogy doesn't make sense. In a free society, people will go work for employers who treat them better, give better pay, better working conditions, etc... There are corrupt companies for sure, those who take advantage, etc... Employees should fight for their rights and if union is the way to go, then that is up to them.
Another huge flaw is you are wanting to give way more power to the government in order to strip power from the corporation. You are just trading one evil for another. Giving the government that much power to control businesses is the exact opposite of what you want. You said you want to remove power from the company and give to the employee, that is already done if the employee leaves the company. If no one will work for a company, that company will cease to exist and another one will come in and fill the void. The problem is, the employees, the people, do not use their power to make this happen and they settle.
Just saying "workers need better jobs, not just more jobs" is nice in theory, but the jobs have to come from somewhere. They can't just appear out of nowhere. A job is based out of need and necessity to get something done. A job is what it is and the amount an employer will pay to get it done is however much someone will accept to do it.
Equating the modern American worker to slavery is just ridiculous and you are just using trigger words to make a point and get people riled up.
Yes, some businesses have vey bad practices. Those who pay off governments (legally or illegally) to get away with things and get government support should be eliminated. There are definitely horrible, horrible companies out there that mistreat their employees, but the employees have a choice not to work for those companies. Sometimes it is not an easy choice and seems like an impossible choice, but there are always choices. Unions can be good in many instances, but they are not always the right answer. Corruption in corporations should be targeted and eliminated where possible. Maybe your experience where you grew up and work, this is the situation you have been faced with and Unions are important to your industry and your way of life, but I can assure you there is a huge world out there and that is not always the case.
I don't understand how going on strike for 4 hours for 1 day does anything, and I guess they didn't ask for a shortened work week(hours), just a shortened work week in days? Which means they would be expected to get their hours in in 4 days instead of 5? If they expect less hours a week with more pay, I don't know how that would work. I can understand the management complaint and wanting transparency. I can even see wanting a fair wage and inflation increases, but it seems from this article, they already get annual bumps in salary. The way their demands are worded, they just seem greedy or just trying to be ridiculous to make a point?
@treymok: They aren't doing it to be "assholes". Phil's big push has been the game pass. Buying up studios and controlling the rights to more games helps bump your subscriber base as more and more AAA games (many available day one) are becoming available via the game pass. It's business not personal. Strategically, everything Microsoft has been doing makes sense for their current business model, whether people like what they are doing or not.
COD is soo overrated and I think its about time they retire that franchise. If your are basing your console success on one game, then you have other issues. That being said, I like a lot of the PS first party games which is why I buy their console. I like many of the xbox first party games and I have enjoyed the game pass(on pc mostly) which is why I also have my xbox. I personally do not like "exclusives" and I can see how buying up these companies to help their gamer base on these consoles, but I personally prefer that they didn't to keep competition(dev companies) high and games more readily available to the consumer/gamer.
If you are paying attention, Sony is accusing xbox of buying activation to have exclusive rights to Call of Duty. Any talk about in regards to exclusive gaming is all related and a way to get out in front of any accusations or lawsuits that may come to make sure their deal goes through.
