This is awesome. Not really any notes, I’m just glad this exists.
They’re trying to drop our expectations lower than they already are. Don’t fall for it. He’s not going to be like a “lab rat on cocaine” whatever that means.
Honestly amazing feature. I hoped some more successful social networks would steal it but alas.
To track contributions and withdrawals to the social security system. Pretty much everyone in enrolled, so pretty much everyone has an SSN.
Really hoping this doesn’t suck. But everything I’ve been hearing about it makes me really confident. Smaller scale, focused on the comics. Really excited.
Blew my mind when I first had it. I obviously ate portabella from the grocery store, and puffballs a couple times. But when my partner found a bunch of chickens, it really changed my perspective on how mushrooms even could taste. Really kicked my foraging into overdrive.
Ecofacist talking points.
Edit: I’m literally right Referring to humanity as a “virus” is textbook ecofacism. If you’re offended by this, do some reading.
This article really seems ai generated.
I feel like I’ve heard that clearing the tangles really doesn’t affect the trajectory of the disease?
Dimensions by Jacques Vallee
Initial reaction is just “doesn’t look right”, but it’s probably just because Ron Pearlman IS Hellboy to me. I’m excited for it either way.
You must be new here
Kettle cooked, salt and vinegar, brand is secondary, but I’m partial to Kruncher’s
Arizer Air Max. Love the thing. Love packing one of the pods beforehand and just having it ready to go.
For me, Starbound was 3 decent-but-not-great games that were in no way cohesive.
Exploration, building, and RPG/quests
Exploration was a big selling point for the game. I think we were all still enamored with the randomly generated planets idea from Minecraft, but it was fairly engaging for far longer than it had any right to be. Interesting POIs, nearly endless supplies of weapons and gear. It fell short when it came to enemies, but apart from that it was impressive.
Building was really interesting too. It built on Terarria in a way that allowed you to make anything from an underground space bunker to a castle. Unfortunately, there was so many building items that you would end up just using the pixel printer if that’s what you wanted to do, and would kind of ignore the exploration aspect. It also really didn’t make sense to build anything when you could customize your ship.
And then the quests. I was so disappointed with the story and quest system. Every story based area existed in some kind of pocket dimension that was totally separate from the universe you’re jumping around, so it feels like the open world is intrinsically limited in how interesting it can be, since you know anything really important has to be immediately teleported to.
It was difficult to focus on all of these aspects, since they were deep enough to be interesting, but couldn’t stand on their own, so you found yourself only dipping your toes into each area and leaving fairly unsatisfied.
I have not suffered from insect-phobia myself, but I HAVE dealt with some other phobias. I think the thing that helped me is specifically understanding what it is that scares you about insects, and try exposure slowly.
For example, if you’re afraid of wasps, but not afraid of, say ladybugs; what is the difference in your mind? Is it flying bugs? Crawling bugs? Is it legs?
Once you break that down, expose yourself to a bug that scares you the least, and over time you may find that “scary” feature isn’t so big.
Most people actually die on the toilet.
