Same in the regions of the US I’ve been to. Usually little cocktail weenies in pastry here, bacon wrapped is just called bacon wrapped, though.

A science book and a plant.

If it makes you feel better, the people who stick their arms in aren’t allergic to mosquito bites. Doesn’t bother them to get bit beyond the feeling of being bit.

I mean I guess it could happen that they are just masochistic, but typically not.

Similarly, granular audio options that separate dialogue from ambient from music from system sounds. Definitely don’t need my ears blown out just to hear dialogue.

I like having the background music very low, but not off, system sounds a bit above that, sound effects higher than system but lower than dialogue, which is maxed. And of course ambient sound levels really depend on the game and what kind of ambiance it has.

Same thing with granular contrast/gamma/etc. Don’t just provide a few preset options, especially if they can only be set before you start the game (also they should never only be set from the main menu, never). Let the player choose whatever they want on the fly. I love playing with everything bright so I can see wtf I’m doing, I don’t give half a shit if the devs think it should be so dark it’s not navigable. I disagree.

Before reading the post body, I was trying to think if I’d ever seen apple orange juice, because I thought it was a weird juice combo thing… like the joke that apple marketing is fantastic because it’s in every other juice.

So genuinely thanks for the explanation lol

At least the 4 dinners aren’t empty calories, so there’s that. They actually contain stuff that’s good for you. So not really a wash. Plus excess eating doesn’t damage your body to nearly the same degree as a similar number of calories in alcohol form, you can just exercise it away, or shift eating habits to account for it.

If you play on steam, and want to try a very easy-to-load set of mods that completely reworks the whole game, check out the progression mod pack. (Link is for the 1.5 version since you don’t have odyssey, there’s a 1.6 version as well and I think there’s a link for it on that page)

It’s around 1,000 mods, many of which are compatibility/patch mods, the authors of them worked closely together for compatibility, and they have a community-driven mod sorting tool to reduce errors. You can single-click to add all and follow the directions to have them properly sort for best experience.

I use around half of the mods on that list, very much recommend. You don’t have to have all of them enabled if there’s content you don’t like or whatever.

I do mostly sandboxy base building, rather than accomplishing main objectives, so I frequently have hordes of kids running around my base (highest pawn count ever was 86, I just sort of let people do their own thing and accommodate them). The first bit is kinda annoying, but growth vats for newborns are great if you can’t spare people for feeding and play time :)

I considered odyssey, but then I realized it would break all my mods, because they aren’t through steam, and I have multiple weeks spent getting those appx 750 mods working properly. Not worth it when a lot of the mods I like most have been shelved with the major changes. I’d need an entirely new setup.

Maybe someday though!

I assume there’s context missing since it says “replying to”

So I assume they meant something like “my dad only told me xyz” or like “wow that’s nuts, my dad just said xyz, not all that” or something roughly along those lines.

Well shit now I want to know if quantum computers have operating systems…

And it looks like as of earlier this year the answer to that… is yes. Special ones. Well, special one so far.

Quantum internet seems like a really bad idea, though, if the regular internet is any indication…

I wonder how many people that actually works on…

looks like 2000-2001

It’s… compelling in a really bad B-movie sort of way. Like the idea is great, and some of the scene design and concept is really cool, but it’s genuinely hard to watch in a lot of places between the acting (Cleo herself has a screaming habit, at least early on - I don’t recall if she grew out of it, and is dumb as shit imo) and that it’s clearly meant to be a sex-appeal-hook. Basically fishing for Xena fan crossover, but done so poorly it basically flopped.

Fun to watch, but don’t expect too much :)

In my area, which is a fairly low cost of living area, I know exactly one couple who do that. They have their home and apartments where they work.

They are literally millionaires, and their primary home is literally a mansion. As in just sold a ski condo a couple years ago, one of several properties they own, for 10 million profit kind of millionaires. (And yes they do bitch about taxes and safety net programs for the poors. Frequently.)

A lot of people around me do have “winter homes” in the south or “lake houses” further north, but that’s seasonal/occasional rather than something they use every week, and it’s mostly retired people who got money and residences when that was an easy thing to do. And most of them rent out the space when not in use.

Only thing I can think of reading this is the Cleopatra 2525 intro theme

And the satirical futurama reference

Of all the things to be annoyed about in this pic, I think the thing that gets me the most is that you still have to remove some of the husk. The whole point is to do less work? Too bad, do it anyway.

It’s like they thought it would be corn lingerie “no no, make sure you leave some of the husk on to enhance the sexiness! See, just show the cleavage in front here.”

Ah that’s great thanks!

That sounds interesting, you got a link?

I vote horizon forbidden west because the world is -so engaging- even more than the original imo. Even the side quest chains are beautiful and moving. They did a very good job with it.

I haven’t played GoW though, so I’m definitely biased.
