I was working security at a port where cruise ships were loaded, and a bunch of dudes carrying guitar cases and music gear came through. They didn't listen to any of my instructions and tried to go through the metal detectors without putting their shit on the conveyor belt thing. I had to send them through several times, and one of them was like, "Are you sure we have to do this?" and I was confused and told him yes. I found out later that they were the Beach Boys.

I had a good friend who's dad had no arms, and he had his driver's license and was an excellent driver

Times change. You can't exist in 2026 and raise kids like you would have in 1996. You can't have an experiment without a control, and there's no such thing as a control when it comes to raising children

Do you really want a sequel or do you just want more games that are like Sekiro?

Personally, I'm okay with there being a single, excellent game

I think you're right, to some extent, but I think a slightly more than basic understanding of physics, chemistry, biology, and perhaps most importantly, statistics, helps you cut through a lot of the bullshit extremely easily

No way, you're thinking of Kirk Cousins. Charlie Kirk is the guitarist from Metallica

Yeah those are solid points. My mistake

In the time you spend making a risotto, you could probably put together a nice PC, and it will probably last a lot longer than a meal. I'm not sure this is a good analogy

Colorblind options that let me specifically choose the color of each HUD/UI element. I don't want an overlay for the whole game, I just want to be able to distinguish icons in the UI that might have color-coding too similar for my eyes to perceive at a glance

Shut up, nerd!

I love how every comment is taking this question dead seriously.

But you might be onto something, old sport

To be fair, I think you hit the nail on the head regarding what works and what doesn't. I guess it's possible for every situation to have some edge cases, though
