I feel like the proper response by the genie should be "yes, you're right, what's your first wish?"

I wasn't saying you should. It's just a thing I've noticed and that reviewers never mention.

I bet the big difference is time. When do you play vs the journalist?

8pm central time vs 8am central time, vs 3am central time probably bring in very different people.

Kinda like how a bar or pub shifts during a day.

I think so.

How high the priority should be is a debate worth having, but space has many ways to wipe out a planet. Having two planets, having a permanent space station, could go a long way to increasing survivability.

Not only that, building in a vacuum, building in zero G, even building things under great pressure, all can allow us to build new materials with brand new properties.

Also, being able to sustain a small group of people somewhere completely contained an inhospitable can be utilized on earth to feed people at home, or recycle water at home.

The only argument I've ever heard about the draft that actually made me consider it was that if everyone was in the army at some point, we would look ar wars very differently.

The number one thing people hated about Vietnam was the draft. The biggest thing that mobilized the American people to protest the war was the draft. Not the death of Americans, but the death of "my Americans".

It might make us a LOT less warlike...

You gotta use that energy to push people in the primary

Thought this was a new type of drone?

Nope, Chuck Testa

Well, first off the pool is lower because you can't just grab some rando off the street. The whole job is protecting the hen house and you absolutely can NOT put a fox in that position. Reputation, etc:

You also can't put someone who can be turned into a fox into the position. If you're protecting something that could potentially be worth billions stolen, you don't want to pay starvation wages where the instability would make the risk of betrayal seem lower.

If the person you trust now also has to move, then you also have to pay extra for that.

Every movie makes the security guard a big guy falling asleep in front of an array of monitors but that's not the case if the thing you're protecting is worth a LOT.

You know, if it meant that more time would be spent on quality, or reducing crunch, I'd be ok with this.

But ubisoft did it, so it's because they wanna cut the department 20% and give that profit to the shareholders. So no.

That's kinda why I liked DC20 reducing it all to strength, dexterity, intelligence, charisma. Attacking uses whatever is the highest Stat.

Just, super simple and let's you make a wider variety of characters.

Yeah anyone who knows anything about actual self defense fighting in my experience always pushes avoid and run more than anything else.

Getting stabbed sucks, even if you win the fight.

Makes total sense why they made it co-op though

 

Found the pic in the microblog memes.

Made me laugh

 
 
 

Yes, it's a lamp. But what on earth is this center hoop thing for? Is something supposed to hang here?

My wife says it was purely for decoration but... just shoving a hoop above the lights? Why not a bird or something?

 
 

A nice thing to chill to on a Monday.

 

God this one really hits me hard.

 

Kinda just stumbled across him jumping around youtube. The dude has a very unique voice and a knack for lyrics.
