I don’t blame the MD tbh, if I had to try and make Starfield worth buying I’d fucking quit

Fire Emil and you’ll be on a good start to un-fucking yourselves, Bethesda

My parents both openly smoked weed in front of my from a young age. I was told that as long as I was home by curfew and didn’t come home in a cop car they were fine with me doing basically whatever cuz they knew I wasn’t a complete moron (my dad worked in the school system and knew all the ACTUAL problem children really well, they hated me because of that so I never got to be a hoodlum lol), though my nugs WERE taken from me at 15 because “you were dumb enough to let us catch you with it” which is fair but I say they were out and bumming off of me without saying so lol

As for sex I got a quick talk about using a condom after my dad caught my GF and I doing it, but otherwise it was left mostly unsaid cuz my sex Ed wasnt trash

Because they’re 2 different types of vehicle

You’re inside the moving vehicle and should you not be attached to it you’ll bounce around the inside or go flying out the window in a crash

A motorcyclist is not contained, and thus it’s dumb to attach them to the dangerous and heavy metal should a crash occur. We instead require protective gear (unless you live in a shitty state) so you get less injured if you go flying

Ill add something I’ve never really seen anyone mention: it used to be a lot better at staying on topic without ME keeping it that way

For example: this weekend I was playing Blops 3 and googled shit like “Winslow accord bo3” and after 1-3 searches I could just type shit related to bo3 and even if it had relevant pages related to other shit, it’d remember my recent searches and keep them rather relevant even if it was on my phone or a new window rather than the same search bar

At least, it used to work that way. Now every 4-5 searches it suddenly forgets what tangent I was on and I have to start adding qualifiers again to get relevant searches

I’ve heard from shit tons of sources that Astro Bot is straight-out good, yes

Lol, downvoted for sharing genuine opinions people I personally know have, as well as sources who are super willing to call out corporate garbage for what it is loving it, like Stephanie Sterling

Proton

Mullvad is good like the other guy said but Proton has port forwarding, which if you don’t wanna be a HnR jerk you wanna do

Or, alternatively, you can bootstrap into a fine red mist as you get stuck to it and violently flung about

Lathes rule

They could have a community center or a library. Sure funds are hard to come by but what kind of political party would even consider that?

Funny enough here in the rural parts of CA I’ve seen Raleys and Holiday Markets putting in large community areas with amenities like cheap (sometimes free) printers, office space, children’s areas, etc.

They’re not perfect or anything but its wild to see capitalist behemoths pull off something actually close to what the ideal would be, even if it’s likely to manipulate people somehow

Make it law that communities with a dollar general or fuck it any grocery store we all have to eat have a community center of halfway decent quality in it like those places have done willingly and you’ll have an improvement, guaranteed

That has never in the entire history of the human race being an individual who looks more guilty than he does. He gives off rapist energy

Completely agree. Too bad that’s not proof of anything, we’re supposed to learn that in grade school

how can you possibly be defending him?

They didn’t, they simply reminded everyone that accusations are not in and of themselves proof even if we dislike the person immensely

As an ex sandwich artist, now sandwich artiste (I quit and do it at home for myself now):

I STARTED putting normal amounts of mayo. My owner was 1st Gen Chinese and frugal as fuck so she drove that into us “1 line, half if they ask for light, 2 line if say more” were her exact words

Sooooooooooo many people said “more. No, more” that we all started defaulting to more when someone asked

My wife hates that I do this because it absolutely burns bridges, but fuuuuck these people

Doctor makes me wait 30-45 minutes 3 visits in a row? I’ll walk that third time the second it hits 30m (you got charged for being that late so why couldn’t I charge them after all?)

Job interviewer more than 5 minutes late? I’ll get up and walk out of your building without escort, I remember the way. If you can’t be on time to your own building, go fuck yourself

I recall reading somewhere that less than 5 years is the average time it takes for most individual works to earn the majority of its value, tapering off from there

So I’d probably do a 2-tier system:

Tier 1: independent civilians. After 5 years any normal civvie can take your work and use it without your permission to do whatever they want with it

Tier 2: Companies. Life of the author. For as long as the original creator is alive no company can ever use their work without permission

DeltaTime is the old “tie the physics to the framerrate” thing old console games did because they knew they’d be running at a certain frame rate

When I was learning unity for a week it was literally lesson #2 in 3 different video lesson series NOT to use DeltaTime like that

couldn’t do much without being the slog A Realm Reborn was.

I agree with everything else you said, but not this. I’ve seen multiple people write out different mild rewrites of areas and bits of the story to make it more interesting, and it wouldn’t have been much more work to flesh out the MSQ into more than just “go here talk to person” to the extreme it was. It didn’t have to be a slog

Hell, had they just picked between the two completely different stories in this expansion (hi Stormblood critique from 2017) and kept with that for the whole epac they could have produced something far less of a slog at least, and actually really GREAT at best (just look at the content design after all)

Shit my queue just popped I’m off to fight THE BEST BEE GIRL EVERRRRR

Probably because DT has seriously damaged many people’s view on their storytelling ability

ARR->EW is a fucking great ride though

If it was meant to be chunky it wouldn’t be called butter

Is the phrase “butter rough” or “butter smooth”?

I occasionally have random pop-up memories of that movie and for a few seconds every time I think “what fever dream was that?!” before remembering

Yeah, those are the details!

It does actually work, and I assume it’s entirely because of what the other reply said

Capitalism is shit, hopefully more people can learn about this because it IS nice, even more hopefully the law gets changed to end it

I know my dad and I played Ace Combat, Crash Bandicoot, and Independence Day when I was suuuuuper young, so it’s probably one of those 3

Horrifically enough I remember equating one of the power-ups in ID to the shirt Steve from Blues Clues wore (this might legit be my earliest memory period) so it’s probably that steaming pile of garbage
