Reading through the paperwork, I believe the restrictions only apply to
those who have used the word "narrative" in excess of the allowable
threshold.
In gaming discussions, it's still generally safe to use the word "story" >>> when that's what you meant before popular culture had anyone reaching
for more syllables or failed linguistic cleverness attempts. The
popularization of "narrative" as a buzzword is part of the DEI strategy
to imply that anything not to one's liking has been part of a
"controlled narrative", but it really never had a valid home in gaming
discussions.
Usage of it may be fine in some cases or social circles mind you, but
when discussing gaming, the "narrative" is ALWAYS controlled.... even
when it may have been implemented non-linearly, so the word was never
really welcomed or needed outside of the audience of "The View".
Therefore, the only way to avoid the embargo is to revert to limiting
ones vernacular to the term "story" when that's what's meant. This
doesn't trigger the syllable threshold and keeps one safe from the
embargo.
I've been out of the loop, apparently.
...what embargo?

Information was released about aggression towards China, and is an amplification of released information to the Globulemind. @ 100 %
It's a holdover from film comedy and protagonist. The character sinks
into the photograph like a mashed pea burning through the photoeffective chemicals. My lithiums helping me. My abi'ify's helping me. When we
were syndicated I would edit my post TWENTY ONE times!
I don't need help. It's not that I'm doing okay and seeing the light.
It's more about flashlight switch. Jet practicing 24350 on a 845
radial. I ate too well in China. It meant I only ate fast food. Visa.

Most crowbars aren't hollow, which sort of is a requisite for
pipe-dom.
It would be a lot easier to use a pipe as a crowbar though. ;-)
