Test trying to make something passable looking with that awful 4 color CGA palette. 250x250 pixels. Character is Parker, from Wildbow's Pathquest, a 1940s physics student.

Decaf does actually still have caffeine, just normally like 97% less.

Which, I guess is like the boneless wings having 97% less bones, now in convinient needle shaped shards

I mean, that's the point of Dune? The 'prophesies' aren't real, they're seeded by the Bene Gesserit, the same group that spent millennia breeding the 'savior'. And, he's not meant to really be a savior, but their catspaw.

But also, he's definitely not actually a savior, on account of all the death he brings. It's complicated, but overall a deconstruction of white savior narratives and similar stories.

Eh, disagree. Unless everyone is power gaming to the same degree (which can be fun!), an OP character being adequately challenged will probably result in all the other players feeling irrelevant.

I mean, I too would be unhappy with the new games' stories. They're not very good stories overall.

But, they're better than the vast majority of video game plots, because that's a low bar.

Still, Jaffe seems to imply the old stories in GoW were any better, when they were pure drivel. I might still be very underwhelmed by the story in the two new God of War's, but I at least like that they're trying (even if I think the direction of relying heavily on animation and visual flair is the wrong one, as far as telling good stories goes).

I hope it works.

But I'm skeptical enough to say that I think this is a scam. We're closing in, research wise, on getting fusion to generate more power than it takes to run. Which is awesome!

But its still a far trek from that figure, to producing enough power to be practical (I've heard it said you really need to aim for 10x more production than input, minimum, for it to make any sense).

And that is still a trek from making a fusion plant competitive with existing grid power.

I'm skeptical if this plant they're building will even generate power, which is like three steps away from making commercial sense at all.

Yeah, they got that 'no pores' look that selfie filter give, that's somewhat uncanny looking.

Good. This is a game I played and immediately refunded when I saw all the monetization stuff.

I just want a single player TBS, in the style of their other game, Monster Train. But I got immediately turned off by the FTP MMO type design choices in Inkbound.

I miss 3.5's cloistered cleric. I'm glad PF2e included it as a core option, and I wish Onednd's holy order subclass choice separated it out further, making 'robed scholar' clerics a central option, instead of just an objectively worse choice than wearing the heaviest armor you're proficient in (usually medium).

Sockeye salmon are reddish pink. That's always what I thought the association was.

Its almost entirely made from plants

And like, even if it was dinosaurs, Dirt is also (partially) made from decayed animals. And, oversimplifying, that dirt becomes plants.

And that's all fine for vegans, because it doesn't involve exploitation of animals. Like, if you needed to raise and kill animals to use their corpses to grow plants, that'd be animal exploitation.

Movies and TV are boring. In the past two decades, there's been a small handful of stuff that's watchable, but most of the media is like, painfully boring.

I mean, the meme isn't centrist. Even if the meme is literally 100% accurate, the reasonable thing would be to be a democrat. I'd take someone who can't govern over someone who is literally evil every time.

Beyond that, the idea of the meme I think is accurate. The Dem do suck, in a lot of ways. They're also, not as bad as the Republicans. So I'll politically support the dems, even if I'm not exactly going to be jumping for joy about doing so.

I don't think its 'centrist' to say that the two party systems is set up to overwhelmingly support the interests of the wealthy, no matter which of the two parties are in power.
