I think this is their stated reason, or at least that was part of the dialog last time around.

Pretty sure it’s been Hitlers all along, yes even before Hitler.

Not accusing you of being racist, but I have seen this same rhetoric used by libs and chuds about Chinese people in a way that certainly feels racist. Personally I’d just avoid this type of criticism that could easily be misconstrued as a cultural critique rather than a national one. There are plenty of things to call out Israel for that don’t run this risk.

The fact that I can hear this in the narrator’s voice really speaks to how awesome of a job he did.

I’d hate to come across as a Molyneux apologist, but at least Fable 1 was fun. SC can’t claim anything close to that.

This probably isn’t due to any good intentions from Peter himself though, he was tied to a studio that demanded a complete game be released, SC is just on a money treadmill and their “visionary” is free to just grift away.

Grab a 5lb CO2 tank from the home brew shop, and a little adapter for sodastream canisters. Easy to fill up at home and you only need to refill the big tank every 5 or 6 refills of the small one. Super cheap as well (and te money goes to your hbs).

I found WoT to really become a slog around book 8. If you’re feeling that way I’d highly recommend finding some summaries and skipping to wherever Brandon Sanderson picks it up. Most of my friends that have read the series dropped off somewhere around book 7 - 9 so I always want people to know that it’s ok to skip some just to get to the finale.

Also lmao to that pigmobile

I tuned in just as she was getting asked about Israel and dear god is it awful.

Trump coming in hot with saying she hates both Israel and “the Arabs”, I can’t deal with this.

Star Citizen shit makes me so mad. If a tiny fraction of what they’ve promised actually existed as a functional cohesive game it would probably be sick. When I first heard about SC I was obsessed with it, how could you not be? I know this is the oldest grift in vidya games, but at least Peter molyneux delivered a fun game, if it was a shadow of what was promised.

A true classic https://youtube.com/watch?v=s-mOy8VUEBk

I think that “it’s supposed to be shit” can be good when it comes from an artist that has the ability to do it well. No idea if this is the case for Raygun, but it’d be interesting to me if she had proven her chops elsewhere then decided to put on a horrible act.

Anyone calling out his mental decline in 2020 was accused of being a Russian bot and that whole discourse was silenced outside of places like this.

I was just at an aquarium yesterday admiring this tomato-y boy, are you in my head?

I’ve complete this transition and it’s wonderful. Steep up front costs, but as long as I do t love them I can replace them forever. Sending some worn ones back and getting new socks in the mail for free is awesome.

Oh cool, I was just thinking back my brief time playing organized rugby and couldn’t think of a way to remove the tackling. The ability to toss the ball mid-tackle felt integral, but makes sense that people figured it out.

Thanks to this thread I’m now going through common sports and seeing what the trade off is between minimal equipment and typical rules.

Hockey’s minimal version is “shinny”, where you still need a puck, skates and a stick, as well as a usable ice surface which is realistically hard to come by even in cold weather areas with lakes/rivers due to the way ice freezes inconsistently. F tier.

American Football’s minimal version would be two-hand touch, which is still fun and can be played with just a ball. B tier.

Rugby is similar to American Football, only the touch version doesn’t really work, but hits aren’t as hard so you can get away without gear. A tier.

Baseball needs a ball, bat and glove. I guess you could play some positions without a glove, but it would detract from the game. C tier.

All racquet sports need a net, ball/device, and racquet. C tier

Volleyball has some drills/games that can be done without a net, but to really “play” you need the net + ball. C tier.

Basketball needs a ball and hoop. Fairly easy to find in a city, but still a costly piece of infrastructure. F tier.

Soccer is the only S tier I can think of because you really just need a ball to get 90% of the fun from the sport (full nets give you free reign for goal height).

The slope is slippery and expensive. It all started when someone bought me this new fangled thing called an “Aeropress”…

That’s her headphone cord. I used to have a set with a super long coiled cord like this and I’d say it’s actually the least weird thing about this pic lol.

I just tried to boot up CK3 on my steamdeck and the whole game crashed, this is optimized? Are you saying that if I can get it to load it’ll run decently?
