Had a economics professor who wore cargo shorts and a hoodie to lecture halls. He rode a foldable bike and I’m pretty sure he skateboarded on weekends.
He was getting an achievement award for something and he goes in a full blown suit and tie. I asked him why he didn’t go in his usual clothes, and he said, “I need a couple more awards and sit at the top before I can do that.”
That’s my goal.

The pandemic showed us that we are willing to throw nice words around and call people heroes and then watch them melt down because nobody wants to work anymore to make my fajita.

Halo MCC version over the original.
I saw Halo running on a classic Xbox and tried to play with the clunky Xbox controller. Couldn’t do it. Everything looked so low res and blurry.

There’s something different between the two that I can’t put my finger on. Like everything feels a lot more solid?
I personally have a lot more memories of L4D and it’s cast of characters over L4D2.

I just played the original System Shock and System Shock 2. Incredible games.
I saw the trailer for the remake for the first one and wanted one last memory before I get my mind blown.

Now I feel weird because I’ve been blasted drunk and still write pretty darn well.
Not so well sober, oddly enough.
- Comment on Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5 6 days ago:
That felt like Civ 5.
Playing it on launch, it was so bare.
Playing the Complete version, it was finally fun to play.

Oh man I just remembered how great that could have been.
Red Dead 2 dealt with racist cults so elegantly.
And Far Cry 5’s “Oh we’re going there!” And making the most surface-level milquetoast bullshit I have ever seen.

Wait are you taking about cartoon mermaids and their skin color? You know, because of mermaid science?

My basic requirements is that it’s a good game from a respectable company.
And even if it is a good game by reviewer standards, Ubisoft has been an awful studio to the game industry for the past decade. From sexual harassment lawsuits to investing in web3, shutting down servers that causes single player games to lose features, having their own storefront, being creatively bankrupt with their releases, nickel and diming their product…
Not the worse mind you, but easily the bottom.
Buy it when it’s $5 on steam in a few years.

Commenter said Black Skin.
You said “finest detail”.
What are you smoking?

Australian method actor and five-time Academy Award winner, Kirk Lazarus, can explain.

The story’s title is in reference to “The last of the Samurai”, not Tom being a Samurai, and the last one.
Kind of like Big Trouble in Little China, where the story follows a white guy.
That’s the narrative shared by the studio which I begrudgingly accept. Even though the title and Tom being the face of it muddles it a lot. And I also don’t consider it a good movie.

I hate that I’m on the same side as the racists though.
Thanks a lot Ubisoft.

I like how OP also chose to do zero research of all the controversy of the Last Samurai, and the years of PR control.

I’ve been getting a major kick out of the retro games community!
They’re reviewing old games, reviewing new games that look/act retro, interviewing designers of old games. It’s glorious.

Seems like the finger should be pointed at you for being so naive and trusting someone so blindly?
And reading the post, you telling me if OP was sending nudes of his girlfriend to a group chat, Derrick is the asshole here?
Yeah alright.
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 6 days ago:
If you’re sharing it privately, that’s your true self, the version of you unfiltered and able to avoid the consequences of actually saying it.
Not if, but when it gets exposed by a Derek, will people look at you differently?
You just discovered something important about yourself.

I was about to write two paragraphs about how awesome minerals are and then reflected on the thought that I may be on the spectrum.

It’s called market manipulation!
They did it with crypto. They did it with NFTs. They did it with stocks. They’re doing it again with stocks.

Get 10 friends.
Run into a McDonald’s and shout “Everyone get the MC Turd smoothie!”
Idiot buys it.
Do that a bunch of times over and over, with more idiots buying it.
At some point, someone realizes the MC Turd Smoothie tastes like poop. But it’s too late. You have too many idiots holding it so now they’re the 10 friends.
That’s the stock market.

You had it weekly?
Ours was just once a year and often in the dark corners of the school. For privacy i think.

You can just post this question at any point in the past 50 years and there will be a lot of people who agree with you and pull something out of history.
Because it’s in the immediate now, it feels like the most extreme thing.
If you want to get even farther (and fall into a spiral), you can actually review the past 200 years. Early in the 1900s, we invaded the Philippines. In the 1800s, we were massacring natives/indigenous people.
These are extremely broad strokes I’m emphasizing.
And again, this is a rabbit hole of darkness and I don’t recommend subscribing to the “everything is shit” philosophy. But take a step back into history and do recognize that there has always been a significant (in your words) level of stupid, a low point of intellectualism and accountability.

How exactly does a website stop a web scraper specifically from a org?
I mean isn’t that the whole point of web scraping? That if it’s publicly available, anybody, including people like ICE, will find a way to get the data?

Brilliant observation. I didn’t consider that at all!

That’s why I love UFO 50.
It really went hard at capturing what I love about classic games. The Desert Western RPG was so good, even with all of its grind.

This is the moral dilemma.
The whole Grimdank universe of just randomly testing things on people to make humans genetically more superior will absolutely improve life for future humans. No question. On paper anyways.
