I definitely agree, and the playstyle of the characters are super fun across the board. The only time I had a bad match was when I got a bug where I couldn’t teleport as pocket (really nerfing my kit) but in general I love the feel of the game
Everyone needs to be warned about the danger of Beefbrain
Gamergate essentially created and unified the modern alt-right as we see it today, it should absolutely be in consideration towards modern political discourse.
That show holds up so well I swear to god
My dad told me he’d love me always before I came out and hasn’t spoken to me since, I wish for others to have a better experience than me cause this shit’s brutal
Ha I sent a letter to my representative about this a while ago and got back a reply that amounted to “thanks but we don’t care”
Yep! It’s real bad, I had to wait in a line around a building on a Tuesday morning the first election I voted in. One of the big things too is that there are fewer polling centers in the city, and usually more in the suburbs (proportional to the amount of people there).
So while you have a quarter of the eligible voting population in a city go to a single voting center, in the suburbs you have a much smaller group with a less crowded (& usually more convenient) polling area.
One odd holdover from TABOR (giant tax structure from the 90s that is still around in one way or another) is that any issue affecting taxes MUST BE PRINTED IN ALL CAPS FOR THE ENTIRE TEXT. It’s so funny to see
Since I moved from a red state to Colorado it’s been mind blowing how painless and accessible it is to vote in this state.
Before every election all registered voters automatically get a mail-in ballot, as well as a detailed book explaining every issue & candidate on the ballot with sample arguments for & against. You can then either mail the ballot or drop it off in very convenient drop boxes that are usually less than 10 min from your place. In some ways it’s difficult to not have at least some idea of the political landscape for most voters.
Yeah I definitely agree, one of the more interesting things about Oblivion to me is that different writers wrote all of the different guilds. The dark brotherhood is basically the only quest line in the game that gives you different choices of dialogue. Every other quest in the game has only one response, which looking back is pretty laughable as an RPG.
(Oblivion is one of my favorite nostalgia games and I listen to the soundtrack almost every day, it’s just fun to point out interesting things in it)
It’s funny cause for how well remembered this quest is, it’s one of the most bugged & easily broken quests in Oblivion. I recently played through and found that for some reason you can just straight up kill guests in front of the others and they react the same as if you were sneaking around
Remember Our Promise
This is fantastic news for such a classic series, especially since the most accessible versions have just been the remakes with their different take on the games. If anyone wants to see a preview / review of the first two ports Suzi from TheSphereHunter on YouTube has already put out a video covering it.
Are the bugs really initiating the attacks? Because with the distance between Klendathu & Earth it seems pretty obvious the movie is trying to imply the bugs aren’t the ones sending meteors at the humans.
When I rewatched the movie with a friend recently he was surprised that the movie ended with what felt like an anticlimactic resolution - because the war keeps going forever (or so it seems). I really like the interpretation that Starship Troopers (the movie itself) is an in-universe propaganda film used to recruit soldiers to feel important and make a difference in the war effort.
Definitely recommend! It’s a fantastic game with a lot more to offer than I expected
Wow I just beat this game today, what a nice coincidence
I’m so tired of modern fantasy media intent on taking whimsy out of their worlds in order for me to “take them more seriously”. Give me goofy underworld TSA in Percy Jackson and not stereotypical underworld pls
Yes I agree CPA is proven to be more effective, but since its not available in the US spirits pretty much the only option. I agree its not the best and monotherapy is probably more viable, but there are very few options in the US especially with the affordability of spiro.
Again, there are things worth criticizing spiro for and its effectiveness - but that article puts out a decent amount of misinformation about the topic
That article claims that the standard starting prescription is 200mg spiro, but that’s not accurate. It’s 100mg, which in the article itself says that the effects from aren’t nearly as dangerous as what it says. Also dr. Will Powers is kind of a hack and has in the past threatened Trans Fem Science, a free website where trans people can source academic information, with legal action for publishing criticism about his methodologies.
When I was 18, 18 years old, I saw for the first time in my life, I saw a vision of clarity. I saw a comic strip, a three panel comic strip that, though simple as it seemed, changed me, changed my being, changed who I am, made me who I am, enlightened me. The strip, Garfield, the comic strip was new, no more then maybe a month and a half since inception, since… since coming into existence, and there it was before me in print, I saw it, a comic strip. What was it called? Garfield. The story here is of a man, a plain man. He is Jon, but he is more than that. I will get to this later, but first, let us just say he is Jon, a plain man, and then there is a cat, Garfield. This is the nature of the world here. When I see the world, the…the politics, the future, the… satellites in space, and the people who put them there, you could look at everything as a man and a cat. Two beings, in harmony, and at war. So this strip I saw about this man, Jon, and the cat, Garfield, you see… yes, hmm, it is about everything, this little comic is, oh… lo and behold not so little anymore. So yes, when I was 18, I saw this comic and it hit me all at once, its power, I clipped it and every day I looked at it and I said, okay, let me look at this here, what is this doing to me? Why is this so powerful? Jon Arbuckle, he sits here, legs crossed, comfortable in his home and he reads his newspaper. The news of the world perhaps. Then he extends his fingers, lightly, delicately, he taps his fingers on an end table and he feels for something. What is it? It is something he needs, but it is not there. Then he looks up, slightly cockeyed and he thinks… his newspaper in his lap now, and he thinks this: “Now where could my pipe be?” This… I always come to this, because I was a young man, I’m older now, and I still don’t have the secrets, the answers, so this question still rings true, Jon looks up and he thinks: “Now where could my pipe be?”, and then it happens, you see it, you see… it’s almost like divine intervention, suddenly, it is there, and it overpowers you, a cat is smoking a pipe. It is the mans pipe, it’s Jon’s pipe, but the cat, this cat, Garfield, is smoking the pipe, and from afar, and from someplace near, but not clear… near but not clear, the man calls out, Jon calls out, he is shocked. “Garfield!” he shouts. Garfield, the cats name. But let’s take a step back. Let us examine this from all sides, all perspectives, and when I first came across this comic strip, I was at my fathers house. The newspaper had arrived, and I picked it up for him, and brought it inside. I organized his sections for him and then, yes, the comic strip section fell out from somewhere in the middle, landed on the kitchen floor. I picked up the picture pages and saw up somewhere near the top of this strip, just like Jon, I too was wearing an aquamarine shirt, so I thought, “Hah! Interesting, I’ll have to see this later.” I snipped out the little comic and held onto it, and 5 days later, I re-examined, and it gripped me, I needed to find out more about this.
