In a normal world, someone in power who immediately starts blaming without any proof or cause or connected reason, should have been marked as crazy and shamed out of any place of power. I don't care if its left or right or between. They should be as relevant as those who blame aliens for building the pyramids. They have no place deciding the fate of others.

That a lot of US are so ready to fight immigrants that they dont mind their politicians jumping blindly to conclusions and seeing enemies everywhere.. Its scary. Even on this side of the Atlantic.

Im probably wrong, it isn't easy to judge properly with so few pixels, but it looks like each floor on the enterprise is half the height of a cargo crate. That can't be right?

Humans become dangerously inventive and resourceful in guerilla warfare. Its fun (and sometimes horrifying) reading old booby trap recipes that was shared around by Milorg here in Norway during WW2.

I really wish it was more popular to just continue film and tvseries with a new crew. New actors, new story or same-ish story, but acknowledgement that the old stuff happened somewhere in the same fictional universe. Hell, I would even prefer existing roles recast over a reboot. Theater pieces has no problem recasting anyone into any role.

"Who teachers felt had problems..." Oh. Teachers. Those people who comes in AFTER things has gone far past reasonable limits, and assigns blame based on whoever the majority of the class points out as the instigator. 😒

Agree. DOS' elemental surface effects was cool, but having to deal with it all the time got old. Even more so with necrofire. I'm really hoping DOS3 learn something from BG3's more conservative usage of surface effects.

And only once. You can't buy another one to do it again. Your only option is to buy ingame.

That being said, the publisher is well-known for doing useless and overpriced microtransactions. Why everyone acts so surprised and nobody cared before release is beyond me.

Is that from Red Dead Redemption 2?

Just kidding. Beautiful photo though.

Of course we should! We replaced our doctors with hourly rentable books back when that tech became popular. /s

The siluette would be the same no matter if its the left or right arm, assuming this is a faraway shot and has barely any perspective. Think of Wile E. Coyote when he leaves a hole in something. It wouldnt matter if he hit the wall with his front first or back first, it would still be the same contour.

I've always thought it was the back. But logically then we would be looking down at him. Since we cant see the city, only the sky, we have to be looking up at him.

Also.. Does Batman wear high heels here?! He's a ninja, they should know better than anyone that flat, thin soles are quieter.

I don't do well with lying. Because of childhood trauma. I am an open book. Even online. A boring open book though.

But I am sometimes a bit confused. Might say stuff I later realize I should have done a second thinking about. But I don't call it misrepresentation when I believed it myself, even if I later realize my mistake.

Half tempted to love any gamedev company that promises to keep making singleplayer games, that can be played offline, without microtransactions and battlepasses. It would take more than a few botched game launches to make me give up on them.

Arkane Studios, for Dishonored, Prey, Dark Messiah, Deathloop.

Used to be Looking Glass Studios. And then Ion Storm. Do you see a pattern?

Maybe the reason we love new and old book smells is that we've been conditioned to think of the excitement of experiencing a new story?

Veidt asked the precognitive being if his plans for utopia would come to be, and if it was all worth it in the end. Osterman cryptically responded by saying "Nothing ever ends", and teleported away leaving Veidt once again in doubt as to whether or not his plan was successful.

From what I understood, he spent the whole story acting super-sure about what would happen if he did nothing, and how he alone could fix it. But in the end of the comic, this showed he had doubts. Veidt didnt have precognition, just very good prediction. But also an over-inflated ego. He killed a lot of people for a "maybe".

I cant see Ozymandias as a good guy. At all. None of the "heroes" are, but Oz was the worst of them.

Jup, useless folder. There's one related thing I've complained a lot about lately, so I'm gonna complain some more about it:

Microsoft got this "great" idea of trying to repeatedly trick me into uploading that Documents folder to the cloud. A folder filled with GBytes of Battlefield and Assassins Creed cache files, Starfield mods, MS database files, etc... A lot of files that are in constant change, or locked the entire session. Annoying as hell. I love Onedrive, but I dont know why its so damn important for them to have those files.

Sometimes I really wish I could switch to some Linux distro instead.

I believe MOST people have such a strong need to follow something that they will ignore or invent justification for the morality of it. And I dont think one can learn that, rather one has to learn NOT to follow. But I'm no psychiatrist.

Damn I've always wanted Windows to have that. Being able to put user folders on another partition, or even another drive, at install time. And being able to use "dynamic disk" (aka software raid) to expand partitions across disks as storage requirements grow. I know it is possible to setup, but with a lot of workarounds and annoying problems.
