Yeah, glad they address the scaling thing. My initial thought with jumping is that, you can't have your cake and eat it too, in regards to physics.

Either you scale down in a way that works with physics, and die instantly. Or you scale down 'magically', and imo you don't get to reap the benefits of stuff like 'extra' strength and other square-cube-law changes. (though, I guess if you are just saying 'it's magic', you can come up with any number of justifications for keeping that stuff)

Love seitan, very versatile. Make it pretty regularly. Made a big block of it over the holidays for 'turkey lunchmeat', to slice real thin for sandwiches.

I've never likes the multi-player aspects of soulslikes. I tried ER as intended for a bit, but I swapped to offline a few hours in. The messages can be helpful, and are often funny, but I just find it messy and busy, and like the more quiet experience without.

I have a lot of deadly food allergies, and I just, don't eat out anymore. Too many trips to the ER. Sucks, cause it makes travel difficult, to plan on cooking my own meals, and basically means I can't safely travel abroad anywhere I'm not 100% fluent in

Hm, I actually found the voice acting pretty not great. Some line reads were odd, and the different voices felt like they were recorded on different mics.

I made it to one ending, and really didn't feel any desire to do another go around.

I know what you mean about 'perfect' though, I have my own small list of odd games that, to me, feel like they're 'perfect' in what they're trying to do.

It's not that much slower. Our 20a outlets give 2,400w, while yours gove 3000w. And, it's still faster than a stovetop kettle. Its more that we don't make hot tea very regularly, while drip coffee was the dominant hot drink for so long.

?

Is this a reference to elephants" supposed fear of mice, or just a 'big ear' joke?

Or a woman.

Ancient Greece, generally speaking, hated women

Yeah, this is what I do. It's actually what I've done for decades, even before going vegan; I've always been allergic to seafood and nuts, so omegas are kinda hard for me to get.

Ground flax is great in a lot of things, morning oatmeal and soups are probably the big ones (though, does make is 'gooey', but for soups, does make ot similar to adding flour to thicken).

Whole flax seeds are better in stuff you don't want 'thickened'.

Its the culture war mentality.

"Our idea would work, if the damn Wokes didn't stop us all from having guns at all times!"

Its always the reason why 'their ideas don't work'; cause their opponents aren't 'letting them'

I agree with the point this is trying to make, but I don't think it does its job.

Like, the whole argument from the 'good guy with a gun' crowd is about stopping them early. You'd need to cross reference each of these catagories with 'how many people did the mass shooter kill'. And, this would really only be a strong argument vs the 'good guy with a gun' point if the 'shot by bystander' result had no fewer average deaths.

Additionally, it's easy to clap back with 'well, yeah, our society doesn't have enough "good people" trained with guns, that's why it's only 5%!'

Again, I don't agree with those points, it's just that this chart is pretty bad at presenting an argument against them.
