I believe it is accurate to say rtwp gameplay came before turn based and that turn based RPGs aren't even that old in the grand scheme of video games. I know it's not for everyone but for me personally if it isn't turn based im way less interested. I'm too old for twitch based gameplay and rtwp feels tedious

Unless they call it a sad robot it is clearly ai. Anyone in mtgzone knows this

That might SOUND like 5x protein, but I am fairly confident there is a pretty minimal amount of protein at all. The beef and cheese sauce are almost entirely fat, cheese is low amount and high moisture, sour cream never had protein to begin with.

Maybe this is overly wishful thinking, but I do think there is enough data analysis on how people vote that it could be real: if a large body of people with a history of voting blue vote in this election and vote blue down the ballot but omit the president, or have a third party for the president instead, then that might actually send a message to the Democrats that they are fucking up their candidate selection badly, and make them at least marginally more likely to cater to the left when choosing candidates in the future.

That said I am not sure I can condone this tactic in good faith in this particular election given the alternative, but part of me feels like the right will perpetually have more and more abhorrent alternatives and there needs to be a line somewhere, and if it's not at genocide then I honestly don't know where it is.

No matter how you look at it all the options are bad. At least Tim being slightly left of Kamala shows Democrats slightly more willing to negotiate with disenfranchised left voters than chasing nebulous farther right independents. Not left enough to condemn genocide though so a very minor distinction

Love all the monkey Island games, my sister and I played 3 together at the same pc when we were kids and it is a fond memory, have since played all the others.

I remember reading a write up by the creator essentially saying that each game sort of reflected where the small team of developers were in their life at the time of each game, from the first game being young and ambitious to third being marriage themed and the most recent having child raising themes. I am paraphrasing badly but was neat insight either way.

My only gripe about the game is that whenever I inevitably use lines from the game in my real life it's exceedingly rare anyone has any idea what I am talking about

DE is fantastically well written, equal parts emotional and hilarious depending how you play and one of my all time favorite games. Big recommend

I watched the sequel to 300 without sound on an airplane. Def didn't need it. I don't feel I missed much of the "plot"

You can just never connect your TV to the Internet or make it forget all networks, that works pretty well if you have a console or PC hooked into it that is doing the actual content for it

Bullet seed would like a word with this sentiment

I feel like this same subtlety is also what makes it really hard to meaningfully track if an ad is actually effective or not. How do they know if you bought it cause ads or cause you would have anyway? Sometimes I wonder if ads arent way way less effective than companies think they are

I'm not sure how this would work long term or if it would be any less annoying, but right now some content creators have ads within their content, like not YouTube ads but them just verbally promoting it. This could occur on peertube and is an option to still have a funding steam. It also allows creators to only have ads for things they are willing to support on their content. But it's also harder to skip and a bit annoying as a viewer so not sure if this has long term potential
