Here’s a swing state rep explaining it. Sorry for a reddit link but it was this or tiktok
I’d be interested to see what polls say about NC with the Robinson stuff by next week
I love that he’s going with the Shaggy defense. CNN had more receipts than an accountant in April
The game literally has scenes where “artful” camera angles hide full dong and tits. Climb down off your high horse and maybe we can get the furries to leave Baby Torgal alone
Maybe it is actually cursed. The curse is that while you wear it your life goes by faster but if you remove it you slow down. Most people get too greedy and slow their life to a standstill but you are actually using it perfectly to enjoy your free time at night and less time during your work
That’s why it says “most reasonable conclusion.” If all of these religions have the same level of evidence of their existence, all have people who are certain that their religion is real and all others are false, and they all claim to be the “truth” then what’s most reasonable?
Obviously it’s possible that any given religion is correct about the world, but if you ask me which is more probable: that every human religion is wrong except the 1 that is correct, or that every human religion is wrong? I think I agree with the original quote
My understanding of the Sony deal is that they have the film distribution rights to everything Spider-Man related that isn’t already in the MCU. Thus their push for making the spider villain movies, so they can maintain those rights. Since Andrew Garfield Spider-Man is in an MCU movie that takes him off the table
I agree that this is a bad idea. Bus travel sucks. It has basically all of the downsides of air travel with basically none of the upsides, minus cost obviously. Without knowing what countries you’re going to be going through it’s harder to say. Bus stations in my experience can be difficult to navigate in my language, in a language I don’t know I’d be even more concerned. Usually you can eat food, but like airplanes try to be considerate about what you have. Avoid fish, common allergens, smelly food, etc.
Finally consider that over those 36 hours you’re going to have to either bring food, or buy it, you’re losing time wherever you’re transit, and are at the mercy of the bus time tables instead of waiting on a single flight
I usually feel like I have an intuitive answer to “what ifs?” This one really surprised me to find that the answer is basically “nothing”
Correct. He plays one of the characters and they mocapped him for it
I hear what you’re saying but all of this dances around the inherent reality of the game that we all play. There are a lot of people who have full time jobs making sure we enjoy playing this game. Divorcing a TCG/CCG from capitalism is impossible as long as the party that runs the system exists for profit. The One Ring is an incredible card specifically because capitalism pushed it to be one
What I think you’re proposing is an open source card game, developed by a like minded group of individuals who want to make the most fun game possible utilizing behavioral-economic trends as self regulating measures. Which honestly sounds incredible to me, but unfortunately I think that game will only ever exist once we invent Star Trek style replicators and live in a post-scarcity society
Personally one of the things I like about MTG is that they primarily ban cards as a solution. Other games change rules, have errata, or simply remove cards from existence. Banning cards maintains the functionality of both the game and card. It enables discussion about banned cards coming back, you can have no ban list tournaments, or even try gauntlets of banned cards to better understand them. Changing the text of the card makes that impossible, digital only card games can just remove the card from your collection, and discussing which years’ ruleset to use as a group is way harder than agreeing on a banlist. Especially for a game like MTG which has new cards coming out almost every other month, I think it’s the best way for designers to push boundaries but still let players dicuss their decisions
Actual arguments aside: capitalism doesn’t magically produce the results that its proponents say that it does and introducing it as a solution almost certainly never produces the intended results. Unless the intendes result is “one asshole figures out how to game the system and make it worse for everyone who isn’t him.” Which unsurprisingly, is not what I want from my card game
Clearly you don’t go to the movie theaters very often. There’s been big ass marquees for it for over a month now
I’m pretty young and my mom has told me stories about when the token black kid was bussed into her Oklahoma school because of legal requirements. She’s not even retired yet. Passing a law doesn’t magically fix things overnight. It takes time AND community effort to enact social changes
Well, first of all, through linear algebra all things are solvable approximal. So jot that down
You know, I’ve been bitching about this game for so long I’m not surprised I’ve exaggerated some of the details. Wasn’t CoD almost unbeatable if you didn’t know to beat the Xande clones and get ribbons for everyone?
This specific port was so brutal. I’ll stay light on spoilers but basically to get to the final boss you have to land you airship and clear a dungeon. You get to the other side and you have your last chance to heal/save. Notably, you can’t restock supplies here because you don’t have access to your ship, so if you’re unprepared for the upcoming bullshit, you can’t reload your save and prep more (unless you go backwards through that dungeon, get supplies, and then go forwards again).
Then the actual final area has a full dungeon with high level random encounters, a long cutscene, a boss fight, the 2nd phase of the boss, then another long cutscene, then you go into another area, and have the option of fighting 4 “optional” bosses (you basically have to beat them because they help against the real last boss), before you actually arrive at the final boss. At this point you have cleared a dungeon, watched 2 cutscenes, and fought 6 bosses without a chance to fully heal, refill mana, or SAVE! If you die at any point in that process? Back to the beginning. Did you not bring supplies to deal with that nonsense? Don’t forget, you need to clear a dungeon backwards and forwards to restock!
Anyway, that’s why I never beat this game despite getting all the way to the final boss multiple times
One thing to consider is that delivery and takeout are significantly more popular than they were 4 years ago. Some of these chains either anticipate or encourage you to heat your cookies just before you eat them and halfway cooking them gives the best results. A place just down the road from me encourages 1 minute on high in the air fryer or 3 in a toaster oven before eating
