Let’s say you’re a Cartel member, you need a transplant for you or someone you love, and you’ve acquired an amount of money that solves this through already illegal means.
- Comment on Why does (human) organ trafficking exist? 3 days ago:
Transplants. Supply/demand.

Yup.

I was only aware of a platypus. Is it all administered through some barb like appendage on the legs? Which one shoots venom missiles?

- Comment on Square Enix considered ending Final Fantasy 11 in 2024, but player interest was high enough to keep it alive even after 20+ years 1 week ago:
It runs pretty well and everything and I think will scratch the itch.
It’s just a very jarring throwback to the times.
The game was more built around being ran with a controller, so mouse and keyboard is a little janky - I pretty much solely use a keyboard.
Map/travel is very old school. Alt tabbing for maps/routes, boats, etc.
Making a player level to 20, and then immediately starting over to level again for a sub job is an incredibly sadistic thing to ask from an MMO.
I could go on. But it regularly sees 2k+ players online so there must be some subset of people that enjoy it.

I can’t in good conscience recommend this to an internet stranger - because the experience is quite brutal.
But if you do in fact hate yourself - you might look into horizonxi.com

- Comment on "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games 2 weeks ago:
Think of how many more pixels you’re getting though.

- Comment on Open World Games: yay or nay? 3 weeks ago:
They ol Ubisoft formula? Yeah - I enjoy sprinkling them in to my gaming.
Easy to pick up. Only got a bit of time? Go unlock some area or marker. Got a longer amount of time? Make progress towards the main quest. That with achievements gives me a list of short and long goals I can work towards.
Funny that you mention it. I usually play an open world game in parallel with a heavier on rails RPG/CRPG – and opt for the open world game when I want a more “brain off” session.

Around a quarter of the way through HL3 you’ll be left with cliffhanger and ending screen telling you it will be continued in episode 2.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
(I haven’t been paying attention to news.)
But if power is out I could see some traffic lights eventually failing to work, at which point I might guess the driver/organization sees it as a liability to continue the routes. So, I don’t know if the payment system would be the limitation.

They’ve got a bit of a “shovel tip” and are a bit more designed to remove some material. They’re not necessarily “pointy”.

It’s a unique situation. If you’re not signing anything and are not combining finances – then it seems fairly low risk at a glance. Try not to get anyone pregnant.
What are your reservations? Is this your first time living with someone else outside of your family? Does this help you two save money in some way? Are there other stipulations to this arrangement?

Came here to say HorizonXI - which is a private server of the Final Fantasy XI MMO.
It is not easy to get back into after 20+ years away.
