This, more that likely. Lightning has been around long before man poked out of his cave. And we know that back in the days of Vikings, pretty much anything that slithered was deemed a serpent.
apparently this is in response to a few threads on Reddit flaming Starfield—in general, it’s been rather interesting to see Bethesda take what i can only describe as a “try to debate Starfield to popularity” approach with the game’s skeptics in the past month or two. not entirely sure it’s a winning strategy,...
And he’s talking about crops specifically grown for livestock. Of which there is quite a lot. Hell, even pets that aren’t considered live-stock outright, like Horses, consume tremendous amounts of feed that isn’t just by-products.
I can’t actually think of anything off the top of my head. After I stopped buying AAA titles from the obvious scummy companies, pretty much everything has been at least as good as expected.
What I am searching for is for games that support touch screens and can be played with 1 finger / one hand. No action games with fake joysticks on the screen, just games that work with a single finger or at least one hand while lying in bed and trying to wind down. One very good example is Civilization V, which has a dedicated...
Oxygen Not Included is on sale this weekend. If (like me) you happen to have wanted to play it for a long time, but were worried you lack the patience/stamina and give up after a couple of hours, the price is now at a level where buyer’s regret is rather unlikely.
Looking for those games that you may have heard about but never tried until you got a Deck. Or old games on systems you never had that you’re trying for the first time. Or new AAA games that just released in the last year or two that you picked up for the first time specifically to play on Steam Deck and have kept you glued to...
It’s the constant attempt of our government to appease the various health organizations (and other complainy-pants) by taking the least effective route towards nothing, that might make them “look good”.
At the end of the day, a ton of the tax money they get to play around with comes directly from alcohol and tobacco. So our politicians have no interest in actually doing anything serious about it.
But if jacking up the prices a bit again and again and changing official age restrictions gets them a pat on the head from ‘Kraftens Bekæmpelse’ (The Cancer Society), they’ll keep doing just that and nothing else.
You just reminded me of that time when young right-wing men were complaining that women wouldn’t date them when they found out about their political stance.
It was one of the funniest things I’ve read in “the news” in a while.
Some think it means marriage and children. Which is understandable being hesitant about. Both are big steps that require some “scrying” into the future.
But I don’t have the impression there’s as much of a problem with simply commiting to a relationship and being a couple.

“What’s more frustrating for those working on SCP, and the wider Starfield modding community, is how difficult it is to work with Starfield’s code without official modding tools and support. This isn’t helped by the delayed mod tools from Bethesda, which the company says are coming at some point next year.”
It was pretty much one of the biggest lessons of the whole covid affair. The groundfloor personel is the most essentiel part of everything. Without, the whole system collapses.
Aside from the point that SH:A is just another over-monetized scam, I am quite interested in how much money that first stream garnered them. Because the more I read about it it seems like everyone and their grandmother bought into it to try it out.
Any word can be used in a derogatory fashion. I’d say the non-binary community knows this better than anyone.
Like the word “Gay” has been used in a quite derogatory fashion for many years now. It’s original meaning, the people it’s being used to refer to and how it’s being used are, objectively, three very different things.
Deeming singular words as slurs or hate-speech, in and of themselves, is by far the most idiosyncratic way to get around an actual problem. I’d say the ‘Intent’ behind it matters more. And the ‘Why’ of it all.
Regardless, I don’t think dear old Elon is in a position to call-out anyone for anything at this point in time.
Hilariously the thing that got me to go back to @firefox was Google making adblocking suck on chromium based browsers and trying to force their (repeatedly) spy-ware filled ads (particularly on youtube) to be displayed. Like you spent how many billions trying to make chrome "the thing" and now you are destroying any goodwill.
Really interesting read about the history of YouTube adblocking, how the new detection works, how uBO is responding, and how not to block the new popups.
I don’t think we should underestimate the savvy programmers out there, who are just as fed up with ads as the rest of us.
And at this point, most of the cousins who don’t know how to update their adblocker are already there. It’s a matter of time. YT won’t keep pouring money into this. Just long enough to the “balance the books.” When the ‘number of viewed ads’ start slowing down again and they’ve hit their max viewership, they’ll call off the hounds.
I don’t think anyone should take Mr. Garrison’s arc to heart. They did kinda point out in an earlier episode that Mr. Garrison isn’t what he thinks he is. He’s not gay, trans or anything else in that direction.
He’s messed up. And that’s all he is and all he’s supposed to be. At least that’s my take-away from the show.
For sure. I was mostly hoping that people don’t feel like the show makes a personal comparison to them.
The masses, on the other hand, require disturbingly little to push them over the edge. As you pointed out with Jaws and Silence. Hell, the amount of people that can’t distinguish between actor and character is astounding.
