The problem is that that's not a reason to make games; it's an end that they think games could fulfil. The games themselves are just a means to that end, which makes it entirely unsurprising when the games and services birthed from that philosophy aren't actually appealing or interesting to consumers. They're not designed from the outset to appeal to consumers; they're designed to connect a few things together in a corporate planning flowchart.

We know that we can’t simply hunker down and wait for storms to pass us by. Adapting and adjusting successfully in times of crisis is a process, a marathon that requires resilience on our parts. The important thing to remember is that we develop that resilience in our daily practices as much as in our crucible moments.Twelve years ago, after obtaining my Green Card, I moved to San Diego, USA. I speak fluent English on a daily basis, and I now consider English to be my second language. However, when I have to present a report to the investors of my start-up, I always have a little anxiety that my English writing is not as polished as my spoken. I'm often afraid that I’m not using the right legal terms or that I've used expressions that are too colloquial. Sometimes I inadvertently use British English spellings or phrases that look strange to my American investors. We know that the complex and irregular grammar rules in the English language are not always easy to remember. We also know that it can be challenging to write professionally and correctly. Re ENTRÉE – there’s a very informative and thorough explanation here of how and why the American usage diverged from the French.

Araucaria is a PINE, and TAR is a word for a sailor or “Boatman”– this is another reference to two Guardian setters POSTER: I set as Sphinx before that one did … but in a publication with a circulation of about 500, not in a national newspaper with a puzzle linked to a TV programme broadcast nationwide the same day (see SH@39) 🙁 I wholly agree with him. The plain English terms starter and main course are perfectly good descriptors and much less likely to cause confusion. A great fun solve with lots of references to Paul’s fellow Guardian setters in the surface readings. Thank you, Paul!

Ask yourself, “What have been my past responses to crucible moments? What actions did I take to move myself and my team forward?” I also looked up what Alan Davidson has to say about the matter in his wonderful Oxford Companion to Food, and he proves to be as wise on this as he is on everything else:

MUG = “Dope” + UP = “finished”. I made a mistake here by putting in GEN UP, which I think does work, strictly speaking, though not quite as well.

Definition: “bore!”– I don’t get why, I’m afraid… Update: thanks to Gonzo for being the first to point out that it’s “bore” as in “bore fruit” Note that your etymonline definition doesn’t actually contradict this: the entrée comes before the main course (ie the roast) but that doesn’t make it the first course – as per my previous comment, the entrée is traditionally preceded by the soup and fish. In fact, in a really elaborate banquet, you could well have several entrées, one after the other. But people’s dining habits have changed somewhat since 1759, and meals typically comprise fewer than seven courses these days, which is why the meaning of the term has become confused.

Entrée, entremets, a couple of French terms which no doubt retain interest for persons attending hotel and restaurant courses conducted under the shadow of French classical traditions, but have ceased to have any real use, partly because most people cannot remember what they mean and partly because their meanings have changed over time and vary from one part of the world to another. Forget them.” Your response to their crucibles—your capacity to help your team navigate the uncertainty, the anxiety, the feelings of powerlessness, and the stigma around asking for help—is what will enable your team to remain productive and focused on what’s within their Span of Control.

At their heart, though, both Sony and Microsoft currently make games because they see them as a pillar of their business -- or at least, enough people in senior decision-making roles see videogames as a pillar in itself, rather than a means to support other business ventures. That allows the freedom to make creative decisions and take risks based on what people who really understand video games think will entertain and delight their audiences. Crisis, in any industry, demands more from us as leaders. We have to be willing to ask more questions of our team and our partners than ever before, questions like:Top R&B Albums". Billboard. Nielsen Business Media, Inc. October 11, 1997. p.32. ISSN 0006-2510 . Retrieved November 18, 2023. The word entrée originally (in 1555) meant the opening course of a meal, one consisting of substantial hot ‘made’ meat dishes, usually with a sauce, then evolved to mean the same kind of dishes, but served as a third course after a soup and a fish, and before a roast fowl course. American usage kept this sense of a substantial meat course, and as distinct roast and fish courses dropped away from popular usage, the meaning of entree in American English was no longer opposed to fish or roast dishes, leaving the entree as the single main course.
