Not at work but I briefly lived with that guy. I just started agreeing with him on everything. "And we all know what the correct opinion on net neutrality is" "Yes we do."

"People just don't understand what Trump is doing" "Yeah, you're so right"

There's really nowhere to go when you just vaguely agree with what they're saying but don't commit to anything

I take the Supreme Court's line on shitposts. They're hard to define, but I know it when I see it

I'm not sure it's exactly what you're going for but the Wii Shopping channel music kicked ass. Additionally the 1988 Crystal Light Aerobics Championship has this jam

It's interesting that they took a previously grixis effect and made it "cheaper" because you can spread it over multiple turns and made the effect mono green: [[Breaking//Entering]]

Yup, it'd be pretty tricky to pull off especially because we assume you have 6+ basics in your deck if you're casting this but you can't sac something you don't have

Burkina Faso also pulled themselves out of the International Criminal Court with similar logic. They said America, Isreal, Russia, and China all get to do basically whatever they want globally while Burkina Faso is constantly slapped with sanctions

Now those sanctions are because that country is one of the most dangerous on the planet, so it's hard to take the military leader at his word. Even if he had a valid point

Yeah, it's a little spoilery to say but the game tries to force you to learn that lesson. Trying to be a good cop and being straight edge is pretty frustrating. Then once you take a morally gray choice and it advances the plot, you use some drugs to meet a check and there aren't really consequences. Then by the end of the game you're high on 4 different drugs punching children and you understand the point they were making

That does suck, I got the kobo libra color. I will say that the color and improved response times make it an overall improvement however the buttons are way less tactile and it feels much less bright. So it's not a full upgrade if it makes you feel a little better

Eh, compare Spec Ops to its contemporaries and it's definitely an outlier for treating you like a bad guy. Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Medal of Honor were definitely treating you like a hero. Still Spec Ops is much better than those games so if the discussion gets people to play it then I'm on board

It's not exactly seasonally appropriate but I think it would be really funny if they were hired by a grumpy old man who was being harassed by ghosts and couldn't sleep. Then since your players are murderers they'll probably default to killing the ghosts. As it goes on it becomes apparent they're killing the ghosts of Christmas future, present, and past in that order and that they're actually ghost busting for Scrooge. Then depending on the level of the 1 shot you can have him be a scooby-doo villain that they fight after as a lich/demilich/archmage/etc

Disco Elysium's protagonist is a walking disaster and there are a lot of ways you can play him. Honestly playing him as a totally morally upright professional is one of the harder ways to play. You definitely don't feel like a hero while you're playing

The first 2 you are absolutely unequivocally the bad guy, those were going to be my suggestions. I think the second 2 it's a little spoilery to tell people you're the bad guy

 

I was watching an XKCD "What-If" video recently and Randal off-handedly mentions the title fact as a given. Upon a further Google search I see explanations about why sound moves faster in liquids than gasses but nothing for my specific question. Is there an intuitive explanation for that fact or is it just one of those weird observable facts with no clear explanation
