Thats really neat! It should be legal though, the 'controversy' seems to be religious beliefs.

You should know,:

The other name for project 2025 is the Mandate for Leadership

The "Mandate for Leadership" had been around since Jan '81.

The Heritage Foundation are the people behind it.

Why you should take it seriously.

Mandate VII In 2018, Heritage claimed the Trump administration had by then embraced 64%, or nearly 2/3rds, of 334 proposed policies in the foundation's Mandate for Leadership.

She has been working with the Trump campaign since 2016, also worked with Reagan.

She scares me.

Edit: She worked with Rick Scott. They are going to rob the US blind.

fecal–oral transmission is the major route through which pathogenic strains of the bacterium cause disease

A report from the Bucks County Department of Health after an inspection on March 27 cited health code violations at the restaurant, including employees not having "hands clean and properly washed."

How about I tell you why I'm done engaging with you.

This is YOUR quote,

Wait a second, are there many Christian terrorists? I’m asking this because I haven’t looked at statistics on other religions besides Islam ( I don’t know any in other religions).

I DONT KNOW ANY OTHER RELIGIONS--what?

Also here is a direct quote by ME

because it is written from the perspective desired by wealthy conservative donor

 

TL:DR

$45 'stable' release, comes with same unfulfilled promises from 8+ years ago.

I really enjoyed this game, I have over 1000 hours on steam and have no idea how much I played on ps4. Hell, the reason I built my pc was to play this game (and custom cod zombies). That being said, I would not pay $45 for the current 'stable' release, probably worth it under $10.

My main beef is $45. Thats how much you charge for a finished game, but this is far from finished. Their own roadmap includes crossplay, weather upgrades, a wardrobe, NPC's, and bandits. This roadmap is 18 months long, if they can deliver all of their promises the game will be 12 years old then. (They will not)

NPC's and bandits are especially interesting to me, because I bought this game for pc in 2017, not too long after reading this blog post

This is just about how every alpha has gone since then, big youtube and twich promotions, lots of promises, and then, a small, incrimental update.

Last, but not least, the current game kind of sucks. The hitboxes are better than when they first updated the UNITY engine after a16, but still shit. There is a spot in the zombie's shoulder that if you hit them with an arrow, the game chokes for a couple of frames then they do a cool spin. Each and every poi has invisible barriers (and has since a16) which cause agro, so walk in room, back out, slowly hit with (object). Skill progression is tied behind xp based points, reading rng magazines, and there is a perk that increases your loot, but there are other perks to increase the specific magazine loot.

Really didn't play much since a17, but I've played a few hours of each alpha since. This 1.0 is no different, but I cannot get over that price.

 

SAG-AFTRA has gone on strike for many reasons, but one that stands out to me is an effort to make digital copies of extras and maintain the rights to use them in perpetuity. There are many implications of this, from people losing an opportunity to work, to Ethical implications ex:your likeness is used in a movie/tv show/commercial you would not want to be involved in.

I wanted to take a look at some of the past examples of entertainers likeness' being used posthumously.

Fred Astaire Vaccuum Commercial

Bob Ross Paints the Mountain Dew

Tupac Coachella Performance

Prince Posthumous Album

Whitney Houston Hologram Tour

Anthony Bourdain Voicover

Amy Winehouse Hologram Tour

Paul Walker Furous 7

Peter Cushing Rogue 1

Carrie Fisher Rogue 1 Turns out this is incorrect, Fisher passed after filming of Rogue 1. It was Rise of the Skywalker

There are definitly more examples out there, if you know of any, post them here.

On a personal note, I find this all to be deeply unethical without specific permission granted by the entertainer.

Some souces:

Actors are digitally preserving themselves to continue their careers beyond the grave

Dead celebrities are being digitally resurrected — and the ethics are murky
