“On the other hand Lovecraft stories work because he was racist. Fear of the unknown etc.”
Well when you get right down to it, the wizarding world of harry potter only really functions because of the author’s hardcore belief in the importance of the status quo and the existence of groups of people who are inherently evil… Not saying the premise wouldn’t have worked without that but it would have been a really different story
Boy that would seriously mess with the narrative of this comment section if that were the case
I used to have a friend who was born with his left hand disabled and could only really play videogames on easy unless they had heavy accessibility options. Whenever i see these weird “dark souls needs to be hard” people i cant help but think about him and how he’s barred from playing these deep, visually impressive games because the community starts sending death threats at the mere mention of an easy mode.
The amount of knee jerk rage I’ve seen over paint whenever one of these incidents happens. Its paint. It comes off. Its an extremely effective strategy to get attention while causing little to no damage.
Agreed. I’d say Skyrim’s only real innovation where RPGs are concerned was its accessibility. Thats why it’s become such a staple of online culture, because anyone could pick it up and play it, so pretty much everyone did.
Haha thats actually a solid idea. I’d drink astronaut water in a heartbeat.
I think your right the honesty is refreshing but when it comes to marketing i think reclaimed water is just about the last place you want that kind of honesty
Listen imma level with you bro, if they are genuinely calling it “toilet to tap”, and you dont get why people might find that a little off-putting, then i dont think this thread has anything for you.
Oh i love Doug, alright nice dual reference dude 👍
Oh, ok. Whats the other reference too?
Oh… well then you spelled your made up parody word wrong :/
Not related but i disabled Google’s access to my microphone and then somehow my phone lost the ability to send photos. I cant confirm the two things were related but it really feels deliberate.
I think you’re right, but i also remember learnning that some birds have learned to break nuts open using concrete, which i think is what this bird is trying to do
I don’t exactly know whether this strat is redundant or not but I wear noise cancelling earbuds with full earmuffs overtop and it seems to do a good job. Plus i get the added benefit of being able to listen to music and hear phonecalls while on a machine.
Huh, i started in the south now that you mention it, i worked my way north over time but by the time i got there I had pretty much stopped trying… Damn, I’m sorry to any northern British people reading my comment…
Went on vacation in England last February. It was insane culture shock. Like, nobody smiles there. No one was friendly unless they had to be. I tried to strike up a conversation with a waiter after paying one night and by the time i looked up from the machine they had walked away and i was talking to myself…
This made so mad it makes me want to shut down small grassroots videogame tournaments held by passionate communities for games I haven’t monotized in literal decades!
You know how when you’re studying literature you’re generally supposed to assume that everything is intenional and there’s nothing just thrown in for no reason … Well when you read Joyce, it’s really really hard not to feel like he’s just doing things for the sake of being pretentious and obtuse.
