This is all the same point.

I agree with you, but they also continue to release more interesting and innovative games than most every other first party studio.

Australia didn’t yet exist

I’m 43 years old and this is the first time I’ve seen an explanation of these numbers. Thank you!

And powdered milk!

We had both in my house and referred to the powdered milk as “backup milk.”

The American mind wonders why the yolks are a deep orange instead of neon yellow.

If your blade tastes cardboard, you need to study more. You should be quickly and cleanly gliding through tape, between the edges of that pulpy/corrugated paper that grips like molasses.

As a San Diegan, I wish this were true. We’ve got 3 major military bases, the population to staff them, and the retired officers/enlisted folks that set down roots here when they were active. When I was a kid, I thought it was so cool that Top Gun was set here. Now, not so much.

Good thing her eyes are covered, there might have been something uniquely identifying about them.

Such a good series. It continues to weird me out that this is the same studio that went on to make Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor/War.

Stage 2 is for some hardware techbro to invent an artisanal moebius toasting methodology, and then suddenly even most white people can’t afford to live there.

 

Nobody likes voting for the “lesser of two evils.” Casting a vote in favor of someone who is diametrically opposed to your viewpoint(s) absolutely sucks. The shitty reality is that we aren’t going to change the electoral process in the next two months.

If you don’t see either major candidate as a champion that you can support, it seems more beneficial to see it as selecting your enemy for the next four years. I would rather fight against someone that I have a chance of changing. At minimum I would rather protest against someone that I think has a lower chance of authorizing lethal force against a march that I attend.

Voting for a 3rd presidential candidate (or not voting at all), is letting someone else make that decision for you.

That said, we have got to get out of this constant cycle of only having two options. There’s too much money at a national level to start there. We’ve got to start local and get third party candidates into offices at a city level, then state, then national. It’s going to take a long time and it should have happened so very long ago. We can’t change the past, we can only change the future. The only time to start changing the future is in the present.
