Intimidation rolls work, too.

Someone should have reminded Darwin of that.

The cool S.

When life gives you lemons, make more of them?

More seriously, some people just like older people better. Their interests or personality may make it harder to jibe with people in their own age group, but mesh well with people in another age group. Sometimes they're ahead of the curve on mental maturity and their peers won't catch up for a few more years, sometimes they just think they're more mature than they really are, and sometimes they really would have fit in better if they had been born a couple decades earlier.

Personally, when I was younger, I had a hard time relating to anyone around my age and generally fit in better in conversations with people my parents' age. As a preteen in the early 2000s, I was reading things like Dune, watching things like Blade Runner, and my music tastes included the Rat Pack. The things the adults talked about were just more my speed. This got to be less and less of a problem as I got older and my current friend group is actually a few years younger than me on average, though I do still have the occasional 'faux old man' moments with them.

I love VTMB, but the gameplay was never the highlight, it was always the writing. If the story and characters are well written and it ties into VTMB1 somehow, I'll consider the title justified. The writing is a pretty high bar, though.

Beginning of internet memes? Maybe. I'd have to look up when that happened. Beginning of memes as a whole? That would be off by several thousand years at a minimum, just going by ones archaeologists have already found.

I could be wrong, but doesn't he own the company?

Why kill them? Why not just have an option to donate your body to necromancy?

That pot looked flimsy to start with. Was the side just sheet metal?

Is there a different Australia or were you just making it clear it wasn't a typo for Austria?

Picard and Troi only had cosmetic surgery to look Romulan. One papercut would have outed them. The SNW crew were made fully Vulcan.

The transformation was also basically space magic since it was based on whatever the Kerkohvians did to turn Spock fully human. And it's mentioned that it's influenced by his experiences rather than just straight biology. They took on the aspects that Spock associates with Vulcans, which includes racism, hubris, and flawed logic.

It's not the greatest, but it is internally consistent.

2 and 3 do the same diagnostic routine, and Reach asks you to look at a building in the distance.

This is exactly my experience with their dice sets. I got the transister dice, but I think the cat dice use the same box.

I'd say the comment implies that Kirk isn't as bad as Trump and Vance.

The states of New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, California, Texas, and parts of Colorado all used to be part of Mexico.

I bought it heavily discounted and knowing it got bad reviews and still felt like I got ripped off. The reviews I read did not do justice to just how bad the shooting feels and how terrible the level design is.

Microsoft, Sony, EA, Activision, or Square Enix would be my guess.

I don't think ducks typically use tampons.

I was very pleasantly surprised at how faithfully they recreated the look and feel of the TOS Enterprise's interior while updating it to modern production values. White with red accents was basically Starfleet's entire thing in TOS.
