As a former teenage boy, sometimes it’s really just soap and soap scum and dirt and whatever else caught in the hair rather than anything else.

Also, for anyone caught in a sticky situation, cold water to keep the proteins from denaturing and getting sticky in the first place, and if all else fails use shampoo to try to emulsify it to stick to the water instead of the floor, to make little sewer babies with your neighbors.

Car-centric infrastructure, baybee! Better have those credentials or you might get shot or imprisoned! Or both!

Sheesh, stiff penalty just for straying off the path.

Joke’s on them, my whole profile is already written by AI

Sounds like fun! I would reward the engagement with the stones they want. There’s room for all sorts of ways for it to work really well or really poorly. If they’re consistently using it to circumvent your story beats, maybe some interesting complications or particular defenses might be in order.

I’d say it’s still important to post and talk about, not for the people who know and don’t care, but for the people who don’t know and do care.

I think it depends on how direct you’re talking, but I think that in general, yes, colonialism (and by extension, capitalism) is directly responsible for our ugly past and bitter present.

To say that exploitation is the main goal of colonialism is probably going a bit too far, but it is absolutely a major factor in the rise of colonialism. Not only was that level of expansion necessary to protect interests from other nations, but also it allowed for more resource exploitation in the form of spices or metals or jewels or whatever exotic thing could make them additional money back home in the center of capitalism, Europe.

From there it is a very short journey to investing in a captain who has a ship that can make the journey down to Africa to trade weapons for the “exploited resources” there. He can then use the prevailing tradewinds to travel to America to offload his human cargo and to pick up the exploited resources obtained by the other exploited resources and finally sail the exotic potatoes and tomatoes and sugar and alcohol back to Europe in exchange for a massive shitload of money. Rinse and repeat until the bubble bursts or war breaks out.

It was all a racket to make people money, but what Americans were left with was an “investment” in the form of enslaved peoples and a continent’s worth of resources to exploit.

So yeah, I’d say we inherited all of Europe’s sensibilities and stewed in them–unaffected by all of the upheaval abroad–for the next 250 years, content to somehow think we had it all figured out.

Seconded, I first heard about this game from his channel.

It’s just a click bait article with as many words as possible, I’m disappointed to have spent as much time on it as I did.

Yeah, lots of people tried to “fix” the screenplay, and they were mostly drastically different, sometimes in a good way, and sometimes in a “Rey was a robot the whole time” way.

Didn’t 3DO have deformable terrain, too? Whatever technology enabled that, it was a long time before I saw another console capable of it.

GoG Galaxy is pretty decent for that

The hate comes from gated software exclusives and a dogshit service platform. Does China have something to do with Epic? Whatever it is, they’re not making Epic any better.

Propellers are wrong, would NOT fuck.

Bro, please stop. It’s a bad look, it’s morally and ethically wrong, and it hurts our chance at never having to hear Trump’s name ever again.

You should be banned and your comment should be deleted. If you want to be a dumbfuck, please do it into the mirror like your apparent role model, Travis Bickle.

If it’s any consolation, I saw yours first, so this other guy is copying you as far as I’m concerned!

An interesting watch for sure. It felt a little like they were just reading off facts from Wikipedia for a bit around the 90 minute mark, but it finished strong. I also find the hope for Legacy somewhat amusing after watching Angela Collier’s video decrying most of Picard’s ideas.

Which is as it should be, right?

This isn’t Google, it’s a social media site. It’s just people talking to other people, dude.

I guess in your example, for us the ground is 0. Up one floor (i.e. Into a building) is the first floor. Down from the ground is the first basement, or B1.
