How are Oz and Phil so high on this spectrum?

Really impressed with that TP

Agreed, just that their plan is so robust and so specific something like “make porn illegal” doesn’t translate well to “make porn super legal”.

That said, the more I think about specific examples the more it’s they want to move further in a shitty direction, and moving about that far in the opposite direction sounds about right.

Edit: and I do like your point that they already put in the effort identifying everything that should be changed :D

Yeah, abjectly hate conversation view.

Yes.

More seriously, although they’re wrong on every point, the obvious inverse isn’t always a clear gameplan for improvement.

But stand-up comedy has something for everyone!

Oh, this is about the depressing nexus between programming and corporate culture. Carry on.

Those poor raccoons. I don’t know what an autistic raccoon looks like, but these scientists should be ashamed of their… hmmm. I actually have no idea what the conspiracy behind animal vaccinations would be. Big science profiting just doesn’t fit right.

Web search used to be about scraping the web to find and present other people’s work as just that… their work. Now the handful of websites claim ownership of the contributions of everyone, and at this point it’s just corporations arguing about who owns your stuff. Pirates will not win out in this argument, except maybe in the very short term.

Both are great games, with 1 being a little rough around the edges but still very playable. The gameplay is different enough that it’s worth playing them both imo. Story might be better if you play 1 first, but I played through 2 first, then went back later to play 1 and was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

I probably vehemently disagree with some recommendations to play BG 1 and 2 btw, your mileage may vary. It requires very specific builds and knowledge of DnD, or lots of trial and error. You can easily build a well rounded group and find yourself unable to progress because of lacking one very specific thing. If that doesn’t sound to annoying, it might be worth a shot. If nothing else, rolling characters is fun.

I didn’t see these in the list:

Wyldermyth - indie fairly unique story building campaign with turn based tactical combat.

Wastelands 3 - post apocalyptic RPG with good story, choices, and characters. Great tactical turn based combat. Other than the other Larian games this is closest to filling the BG 3 shaped hole.

Halo Master Chief Collection; 1 - 3, Reach, and ODST are amazing co-op. We’ve played through all of them multiple times. 4 is… disappointing.

I’ve read that human skin particles make up a significant portion of household dust.

… Are you a robot?

Logitech mice always get better with age, they give you extra clicks for free with each touch of the button!

Doesn’t sound like a design flaw, it’s the whole point, only reason you need a cancellation portal.

Wow, that’s one more season that I knew about, assumed it’d never go beyond the first.

Huh

Hexbear is an 8/10 on this scale

Your next flight, a minimum of 22 minutes of uninterrupted flying time during every hour in the air!

I’m in the minority that thought the original Xbox controller and original stream controller are sized perfectly 😄

I really wish they’d release a steam controller 2, now that they’ve learned a bit more, and now that people are embracing the control scheme.

Silly academics and the limits to their tolerance for debt servitude.

That’s skipping over the fact that recovering deleted data, even if it isn’t overwritten, is not an “oops”. It it takes extra effort, and if that data isn’t being protected it would be overwritten incidentally as drives are used.

There is a big difference in a database between “flagging” data and actually removing the association of the data to the database.
