Why do you think so many fluids are juice colors?

A leech tank would be pretty metal though. Like, imagine the medieval lord aura of leeching at a dinner party.

3070 can’t play them to my standard.

You’ve poisoned yourself. Chasing fidelity and refresh rates has done for graphics what short-form media did to attention spans. I’m emulating PS1 games and playing Fallout 4 on a 970 while my computer fans blow like the flight deck of an aircraft carrier and I am free.

Go back and sink Columbus, Europeans will assume they were correct about the massive ocean to the West being too big and dangerous to sail across and ignore that direction for a while longer. No Conquistadors is a huge win for South and Mesoamerica.

If you really want to reshape the history of the New World you’ve gotta go back like 12,000 years and convince people to capture and train animals like the camelops and American horse instead of simply hunting them. European diseases were so devastating in large part because New World peoples did not have a comparable livestock culture (that being a major source of disease).

Oh, and it would be nice if the main character wasn’t automatically the leader of every faction in the game.

Really wish Bethesda would get over this and their fear of letting players miss out on some of the content in their gigantic worlds. Taking over a guild should be hard and it should have consequences. Preston Garvey knows Nate/Nora all of fifteen minutes and puts you in charge of an entire movement (while gatekeeping essential system mechanics behind further investment in his faction, fuck you if you wanted to roleplay as a raider warlord you gotta be a good boy first)

Actually the whole first hour or two of FO4 is the core of what is wrong with it. They went all-in on essentially an E3 demo and expect every player to follow along exactly their rails.

What I really want is Steel Battalion.

I really love the idea of asymmetrical games like DBD but the community always ruins it. Evolve was absutely incredible in the first few weeks before players optimized all the tension out (and before the backlash over what is now laughably tame monetization).

Not necessarily. There are an infinite number of outputs that aren’t those things.

Fuck off then, stop hiding your “I don’t care for the current trends in gaming” behind a boomer-ass “they don’t make em like they used to” take. There’s tons of good games and there’s always been a bunch of low-effort garbage to sift through. We used to call it “shovel-ware”.

I’m not doing a Costco run with a cargo bike and I’m not letting a delivery service pick out my produce.

My plants need it, go back in your cave.

I developed a different coping strategy. When I figured out I was smarter than everyone else my age I simply stopped doing homework and coasted on high test scores. That worked from age 8 to 16 when I had to contend with the fact that I had never learned how to actually study or manage my time. Pretty easy to slip through the cracks when you’re well-behaved and the district didn’t have any money for advanced learning programs anyway~

My partner and many of her friends did IB in the late 2000s and every single one has trauma from the workload and culture of expected achievement and it doesn’t seem to have benefited their careers at all. (I did Running Start instead, a Washington State early college program, and had a very positive experience)

You should always remember it regardless, and learn to recognize the signs decades before they bear fruit. This is the culmination of a long and multifaceted process. Reject nationalism, reject regulatory capture, reject media monopolization.

I live in one of his hated Liberal crime-ridden cesspits, Trump bombing his own country is an uncomfortable possibility.

My point is that ignoring a bunch of implied context isn’t a compelling argument. The obvious difference between cancer and body hair is that hair growth is the normal state and cancer is aberrant growth. This shouldn’t need to be pointed out.

Fun fact: hedgehogs aren’t rodents, and are actually more closely related to tigers than to mice (by about 10 million years). Porcupines are rodents and echidnas are another thing entirely so spines developed on mammals a bunch of times.

Oversimplification does not an analogy make.

I assumed it was to cope with heavy snowfall but that makes sense too.

Because some people use it as a thin veil over their actions doesn’t mean it’s the root cause

I firmly disagree with this premise, I think religion’s particular mix of social othering and righteous justification are the root of a great deal of evil in the world.
