  • Mumblings originally in 2017, job openings at the studio in 2018, officially announced in 2020. October 2022 Andrew Walsh, a senior writer from the Horizon Forbidden West team joined the Fable team. June of 2023 had an in-game trailer.

    To be honest, that seems to be a reasonable timeframe, especially given the pandemic in the middle, if you aren’t following the “rush it out the door ASAP, fix it after release, if you ever do” approach.


  • Harbor Freight is awesome, but as with everything else, you should know what you’re buying, and know what you actually need.

    Most people don’t need to pay a premium for something they’ll use just once, or maybe a handful of times, and never touch again.

    For most people, they don’t really know what they need, so buy Harbor Freight the first time, if you use so much it breaks, then buy a quality replacement, because you proved you actually need it.

    Am I supposed to hold owners accountable?

    Yes. Don’t go there. Don’t support businesses that exploit their workers. Just because it’s legal that doesn’t make it moral. Slavery was legal as well, we got rid of that shit (mostly, still 100% legal for prisoners).

    Your exact logic supports slavery. Might want to think about that.

    A couple issues with this take every time it’s mentioned.

    1. That isn’t on a per-hour basis. That is based on a usually weekly or bi-weekly cycle depending on your state. So if someone made a lot of reported tips on Saturday night, effectively making a couple hundred per hour, and no tips the entire rest of the week, they might still make the overall minimum wage for the week, effectively working 30+ hours for $2.13 an hour (federal tipped minimum) instead of $7.25 (federal minimum) or more depending on the state.

    They’re making on average of a good amount, but most of that work is for shit pay no one would ever consider doing at that pay rate. It is very good money during that busy time, but anyone that’s ever worked food service knows busy times like that are an insane amount of work in comparison.
