Here's what happened:
>Hamas plans to raid villages nearest the border
>multiple countries warn Israel months in advanced
>Israel downplays it
>weeks before it, Egypt begs them to prepare for an attack on October 7th
>days before it, Israel decides to not only move a music festival so that it's on the border, but also extend its dates so that it no longer finishes on October 6th but carries on to October 7th
>Hamas attacks, aiming for the villages
>while in the air, Hamas spots the music festival, which they had no intel on
>the villages are mostly defended by IDF
>still, hostages are being shot by the IDF, often in their own homes
>Hamas falls back, takes a big major road towards the music festival from both north and south
>no IDF there at all to stop them
>get to the music festival
>start taking hostages
>loading up trucks full of them
>IDF have orders to attack Hamas, regardless of hostages (the Hannibal Directive)
>IDF helicopters start blowing up the trucks, while IDF soldiers shoot at Hamas and kill many hostages
>Hamas retreat across the border with only a few hundred hostages, but wanted a couple of thousand
>IDF starts counting the dead
>"1,400 Israelis murdered by Hamas!!!"
>actually identify the remains and realise 200 of them are actually Hamas soldiers
>"uh, 1,200 Israelis murdered by Hamas!!!"
>accidentally revealed that they were by default counting bodies so disfigured by IDF helicopter attacks as Israeli casualties
>they were actively expecting to find hundreds of their own people killed by themselves
>"this is the darkest day in Israeli history"
>the world repeats "right to defend itself", despite the IDF having caused that death count on October 7th
>the biggest and most obvious false flag event has led to literal genocide in Gaza

So, here's how it works.
>write your story in your late teens/early twenties
>send it out to agents with no clue in the world how the industry really works
>realise it's fairly generic and not as amazing as you initially thought
>get no responses at all from agents
>lose hope for a few years, just writing as a personal hobby
>read some new books
>realise these all suck too, so maybe there is hope
>start writing a dozen other books
>start sending those to agents
>get no responses at all
>put them into literary competitions for new authors
>never get shortlisted
>see the ones that do get shortlisted are dogshit but usually written by one of the "progressive" minority groups
>start submitting stories to agents under a "progressive" minority group pseudonym
>actually get responses
>usually people saying "if you re-write it with these changes" or "write this kind of story instead" and they'll take you on
>agents can only get publishers interested in very specific stories that change on a near monthly basis
>realise that's not enough time to get a new story done before publishers lose interest
>start hoping your back catalogue of unaccepted novels will eventually be of interest on the publisher cycle
>one finally does, usually thanks to a Netflix show or film that's popular and on a related topic
>publisher sets up a meeting with your agent
>your agent gives you the bad news
>publisher has declined your story because you're not actually one of the "progressive" minority groups
>agent also decides to cut ties
>sit with a grand total of 28 completed novels doing nothing
>try to self-publish some out of desperation
>realise you're bad at marketing so barely anyone sees them
>sell a few and get a couple of good reviews, but that's it
>have to unpublish them, as self-publishing kills the possibility to put them into competitions for unpublished works
>agents also won't touch self-published stuff, it's like a red flag for amateur work
>give up

Whenever I hear this exact station at this moment it brings me back to the first time ever playing it the same month and year it was released. It sucks to never feel that moment again.

I don't understand

>WoW having a resurgence, implementing housing, stealing FFXIV boss mechanics, less than 2 year expansions cycle and fast patch cadence
>meanwhile SE perfectly happy to let FFXIV PC die a slow death while trying to cash grab with the mobile version instead

Worst timeline. When FFXIV fails, WoW will again have no reason to up their game and their current efforts to get their A game back will melt like snow in the sun.
You only get quality through competition, and SE no longer wants to compete, just drain the whales to fund another NFT scheme or "cinematic experience for the western market" that's doomed to fail.

Let us free.
Let it die.

Pretty much this. I remember I used to get by on £100 a week back in the 90s, and that now is only something like £800 a month. Just flitting between part-time name-tag shop jobs, spending my days watching films in the living room of a rundown two-bed flat that 4 of us rented out for dirt cheap, drinking and listening to music, random girls from college turning up to chill with us, living on free pizza because one of us worked at the local Domino's, all sharing a single scrapheap banger of a car that we stole petrol for, and going to sleep when the birds started their morning chorus.

Still don't have one

>used to be an event
I know what you mean. I'm a bong and during David Tennant's run of Doctor Who it definitely felt like an event
