Myself, I don't think this is in preparation for imperial colonialism, which honestly is becoming to sound like the word "woke" now, but for the opposite side where the second I hear it I toll my eyes and wonder what dumbass take I'm about to read says.
It's definitely a opinion piece paid for by people who profit from war, and is 100% just another ultra-capitalist trying to influence public opinion to make themselves richer.
The only ones who benefit from war are the dictators and shareholders of weapons manufacturers.
This isn't "imperial colonialism" is "capitalism that profits on death is still good, full steam ahead"
Me, thinking to myself: what if this completely illogical and unlikely thing happened RIGHT NOW
Also me, to my wife: why would you think that completely illogical and unlikely thing would happen right now....
I think after years and years of 3d games, I just don't like 2d anymore.
I've become institutionalized by a third dimension...
I don't even enjoy Castlevania anymore and those games were my jam back in the day.
"LOL you either pay whatever GLORIOUS COMPANY SAYS and get NOTHING and you LIKE it or you're trash and deserve to rot in the gutter"
Every MAGAt I know still considers EVs "woke liberal trash" so I'm not sure who he's expecting to buy his shit anymore... The demographic willing to look the other way has shrunk rather significantly.
Rich people really do just kind of stagnate at the maturity and understanding level they had when they first realized they're rich... It's why some act like it's still 1985, and some act like they're in middle school.
It was as much her own "fault" as it was Wesley's.
Wes created the little universe bubble she got sucked into, but her own subconscious filled it and made things disappear.
It's insane to me that entire fucking countries governments act no different than literal children.
This is stereotypical school yard bully tactics. It's so fucking stupid. People point to specific sad stories as reasons they lost faith in humanity... I point to every country on the planet acting like children any time they have a slight disagreement, or decide they want something someone else has.
K was right. A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals.
Yeah, like.... This was absolutely me as a kid, I just imagined my fully grown dad but child-size, so I want to laugh...
But I can't laugh when it's just a photo that's essentially going "HAHA LOOK AT THIS ABNORMAL PERSON, LET ME BRING FOCUS TO THE ABNORMAL THING HAHA!"
It feels gross.
So I approve of the joke, just not the accompanying image.
Most people are too lazy or stupid to take the initiative though
Full stop, go fuck yourself.
This is so fucking dumb.
I love it.
Did you just link tvtropes with no warning?
At this point I'm just going to assume the core was still slightly frozen or close to it when I put it in. I left it to thaw for several days in the refrigerator...
Ah well, a learning experience for next year.
It is precooked, and it's made it up to 120! 25 more to go and it'll be ready to serve, and food got pushed back anyway, so there's still hope.
And offend me dear old ma? She never believed in using replicators.
I once dropped a water bottle out of my backpack, and couldn't find it when I retraced my hike, but I did start noticing tons of trash everywhere.
So I started keeping a trash bag in my backpack, and filling a small bag every time I hike.
I may not have found my bottle, but I'll make sure I clean up more than I left every time I'm out.
I've had plenty of times where I get home and empty my pockets of the trash I accumulated with no can nearby.
And if I try to put something in a can and it falls out, I'm taking it with me because I didn't succeed in throwing it away.
Shrugging ans saying "well I tried" as you walk away isn't even trying.
Being a first time, or even just smaller developer is a nightmare when you compare it against large companies.
You basically don't have a chance if you try to carry your dream yourself, because you lack funding. But getting in bed with larger companies for funding and marketing puts an insane amount of pressure to perform well or go under.
I can totally understand why so many things were over-promised. I can't excuse what we got on release, but I do understand why he lied, even in the weeks leading up to release where everyone who plays immediately knows what's bullshit.
And to be honest, I would likely do the same in some situations.
Like the multi-player aspect where supposedly you would be able to see each other in-game. They really thought with the size of the procedural generation it would take a lot longer for people to meet, even if they were trying to meet up. Unfortunately they forgot to take statistics and probability into account. With the large amounts of people playing, two were bound to end up close enough to meet in the finest few days.
I think they really thought they'd have time to fix it before anyone met.
You'll say anything when it's your future, and the futures of all the people you work with, on the line.
My ham has been in the oven for 2 hours and the core temperature is only 70... I don't think it will be ready when "dinner" starts in an hour and a half...
To be fair, this is the first time I've cooked holiday food in my own oven in my own residence... I've never cooked a ham this big before.
Luckily the mouse has been practicing his sleight of hand, and swapped the cinnamon out with a cinnamon-stick-shaped cyanide capsule he cleverly hid up his sleeve!
So unless you're telling me the bird is also a master magician...
