Would that be your classic ‘meant to lose’ fight, usually against the big bad, which is technically winnable but the vast majority of players will lose and progress the story as planned? The example that comes to mind is Ghost of Tsushima, but it crops up in plenty of games.

Now Dennis, I’ve heard that speed has something to do with it.

Both things could be true.

Unfortunately, the ‘firing’ is usually a golden handshake and jumping straight into heading another company to run that into the ground too. After multiple rounds of layoffs of course.

Absolutely, and I think jumping on people for making honest mistakes doesn’t help anyone, as with most things it’s the intention that’s key. In this particular case though, I don’t think there was too much ambiguity, and she/her seems to me like the safer bet.

My understanding, and I’m by no means an expert, is that they/them would be used for an unknown gender, or for someone that has chosen those as their preferred pronouns. But in this case, the article and discussion is about a woman, so I think she/her would be the preferred choice.

I dunno, still seems like misgendering someone, just with a different reason for doing so.

The article uses she/her pronouns, which seems a reasonable choice. Any particular reason you’ve gone with they/them?

Same, but it does mean ‘around’ or ‘approximately’, so would still work in this context.

Circa?

“Anonymously” at an “auction” was the intended implication, I believe. Where in actuality someone is just paid a lot of money in a manner that is harder to trace, and has an air of plausible deniability.

Go fash, lose cash.
