A broad coalition of the liberals, centrists, conservatives with the Nazis who were willing to outlaw and arrest a fifth of the government for the final vote to function.

Trick question: assume everyone is a child until proven otherwise.

Real patriots demand private investment in carbon capture only.

The disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima are symptoms of a greater issue: construction and maintenance of an extremely volatile and sensitive process reliant upon the integrity of infrastructure and quality of manpower.

Nuclear requires a stable society and economy flush with resources and education and little to no risk of political stability.

Those places are welcome to invest heavily into nuclear while CO2 concentrations build up as emmissions continue unabated.

The global leader in solar and wind is China. As a result those things are now communism and we can’t have them.

Crying broken shell of an art student not pictured.

It is very game specific. Some were innovators for how they pushed the limits of technology of their time, others were held back by that same tech. That alone is a huge marker as to whether a remake will improve or hurt the games legacy.

I went to college before the internet was ever considered a valid source for any material. But using the internet made research extremely easy if I could determine the book source for reference.

I went back to college right around that time the internet just became the default source for everything. It was staggering how little information was expected to be known. The implicit ubiquitous access to information was a staggering foundational shift.

Coconut oil is a superfood because you can eat it and use it to do butt stuff.

If memorizing age of consent laws by region is achieving socialism, then sure.

Mandatory housing units over every strip mall and big box store in America.

Even just a few units. Hell a few mobile homes up there even would go a long way. Forced mixed use development.

If it’s like 100 tacos for $100, I think I could go for that right about now.

Pirated Windows 95. Pirated Windows 98. Pirated Windows XP. A usb stick with Red Hat I never installed. Pirated Windows 7. A usb stick with Fedora I never installed. Pirated Windows 10. Raspbian for a retropie unit. Legit copy of Windows 10. A usb stick with ChimeraOS and a rig on the dining room table that maybe, just maybe, I will install.

I’ll get there.

Our instincts draw from pretty far back in our biological origins as well. The notion of mimiclike predators is pretty damned ancient and likely a factor for very earliest common ancestry.

I think fiction is absolutely fine for classes in literature and language which is often a major core component of education. Historical fiction I wouldn’t add to curriculum but are great as recommendation to compare with a lesson for an interpretive context.

Not sure how you can teach STEM with fiction though.

Sekiro, like Bloodborne, is different from the Dark Souls series. The mechanics, story, and atmosphere of each are distinct, with Elden Ring falling most closely with the Dark Soul series in mechanics and ‘feel’.

Dark Souls 1 has the best atmosphere and environmental storytelling, in my opinion. It really is clear how innovative and influential a game it was.

Sekiro is hard to play from a Dark Souls foundational playstyle. Sekiro players, I find, seem to have an easier time adapting to Dark Souls. So it may very well be a good start for a FromSoft game.

It is the most wizarding friendly game FromSoftware has made.

Through their other games the pattern was for wizards: the level getting to the boss was tough managing your spell uses, but then the boss was easy if you reserved enough.

In Elden Ring there are less ‘levels’ and almost none of the classic ‘runback’ to a boss if you die. So you almost always can full power a boss.

Which feels easier in comparison. Though the Elden Ring bosses were designed around that more.

Imminent DLC will shake things up too.

This has been the gaming industry since the internet.

Back when gaming was still considered a niche pastime or just toys for kids, and the developers weren’t multi-billion corporations, the dynamic was one of a mutual love of the product.

That was like, barely a generation ago.

It’d be like shock therapy, baby.

You mean to say your friend incorporated for tax purposes because owning three houses would’ve been resulted in being taxed at a higher rate? That should be evidence enough.

Unrelated but related: shell companies for the purposes of evading taxes should also not be an acceptable practice.
