Woww is that your real name? Are you related to that singer guy?

Maybe they got confused by an exponent or a measurement conversion

You can make the case that it’s not a fun use of our time but how is it not tied to difficulty? Being able to get to the boss with enough health or consummables is certainly part of the intended challenge.

I need my self-hosted AI waifu running so I can get words of encouragement while I play

Oh c’mon guy, just work your magic

It is an incredible self-own for the USA that won’t really be felt for a few years at least. To abandon research and future markets tech like electric vehicles and green energy, and to abandon them at the exact time China goes all in on it? Are they trying to put themselves in a position of irrelevance? Because that’s exactly what I’d do if that’s what I wanted.

They’d rather keep us blind to our place in the world than see us healthy and productive

I was pretty surprised that they did have genital customization in the game, no on the other two questions though.

Hm maybe my memory of the post is fuzzy but that is more pervy than I recalled. Still gets to the larger point though about how we talk about violence in graphic detail with no self-consciousness but can’t do the same for sexuality.

Leading up to the release of Cyberpunk 2077 there was a relatively innocent post about whether players would be able to romance anyone and sleep with them. The absolute mockery and scorn OP received was shameful. It really struck me because it was so clear how we’ve been conditioned to reject sexuality while at the same time being ultra-desensitized to violence.

Yet another tragedy of our time is watching Google ruin the internet with its SEO bullshit and then replace it with AI

I bet Lindsey is the kind of guy who will block the release of the Epstein files and protect the pedos in the Trump admin

Morrowind was such a game changer for me. I’m still bummed that Bethesda dropped the best things about it for their later games.

I will buy the Heinz because the ketchup here is horrendous, otherwise there is usually a perfectly suitable alternatives to US goods

That’s really good and I want to add that in my experience finding humor somehow in the despairs or at least refusing to let yourself suffer is the true secret to getting older. Not that it’s easy and I certainly don’t have it all figured out but I do sincerely believe it’s important.

It’ll end up blocking vital neurotransmitters leaving us zombified and giving us an insatiable craving for brains

Yeah it’s so damn lazy, like they introduce these things like they’re in a vaccum, situationally just to have a cool scene and toss any kind of continuity aside

I should go back and read that again, I remember loving it so much. Also remember when Disney announced that the extended universe would be discarded to make room for new cannon and how much my heart sank hearing it.

Rogue One was really close to what I want the franchise to be. Having a universe with the force users instead of about the force users is so much more interesting.

I have always wished for a serious grown up version of Star Wars. Like not being afraid to sever limbs like they used to, or worrying about your scoundrels being too scoundrel-y. Also really taking an inventory of everything and seriously thinking about how it would interact.

Like to your point - no need to toss out the more magical force elements but maybe just tone it down a bit and ground them in reality a little better? Because it’s absolutely ridiculous how they’ve become these invincible laser blocking demigods. They should be afraid to deploy, just like anyone, if there’s going to be shooting. It’s just lazy writing most of the time and it would be wonderful to see what a skilled hand could actually do with it all.
