I think the series name is "techno-mage in unix_surrealism," so the community name is just a reference to the series name. I want to say the main character does have BSD installed in her sword.

Let me spoil part of the Foundation series for you. In one book, the cast visits a planet where they encounter one person with psychic powers surrounded by robot servants. He reveals that the planet is evenly divided by I think 128 people like himself who want for nothing and live comfortably. They only reproduce asexually, and only in preparation for their own death or when another dies.

What this illustrates that’s relevant for you is that yes, not hitting the replacement rate could lead to significant population decline, but only until people are comfortable enough and want to have kids or feel it is the best way to maintain their way of life (think farmers having kids to help on the farm).

It's a 3D first person game instead of a 2D isometric, and most of the differences stem from that. More manual building (they added blueprints but I don't know how good they are), infinite resource sources which means setting up a mining outpost is permanent. Much less focus on fighting wildlife, though that is present.

Overall, it's a much more relaxing, slower paced game than Factorio. Both are good at different aspects of the same thing.

In terms of gameplay I think the Sheikah Slate functions were mirrored on the Wii-U pad (at least that was likely the original intent.

The Wii-U emulator was also a lot more developed when BotW released, so if you pirated it at launch the Wii-U version was the one to go with.

It is punishment for not bringing a helmet themselves. There are a lot of things people are shamed for that they shouldn’t be, but experiencing shame can motivate one to change their behavior to avoid shame in the future. If being shamed for not bringing a helmet influences them to bring one in the future or not ride a bike without a helmet, that’s a good thing.

I’m not too surprised. The last show of theirs I heard about was a generic magical girl show, except it was sponsored by some car company so their broomsticks had tail lights and blinkers on the back.

The legacy of Evangelion is in Studio Khara ran by Hideaki Anno, and the legacy of Gainax has been in Studio Trigger since 2013 when Kill La Kill came out.

I’m open to being corrected, but my guess would be the long time gap between the original colonization of the east coast and the spread west of there. In 1776 US borders extended to Pennsylvania, so when settlers started moving to Ohio and beyond I imagine they would have called it “The West” until they realized how much west there really was.

One of my philosophy professors described philosophy as a bunch of people trying to convince themselves they’re not nuts.

I agree with most of the suggestions here, and I’ll also throw out Tropico 6. It’s one of the few coty builders outside of Frostpunk where the soundtrack actively pulls me into the experience. It’s also fun building up an island balancing between investing in economic growth, citizen happiness to get reelected, or military/oppression methods so you don’t have to get elected.

Humbling? That’s going on in my head. I’m that complicated! Or at least the “hardware” I run on is. I think having a brain that beautifully complex is more empowering than anything! I wonder what new discoveries will stem from this.

God I hate needles. I bet if Spiderman hated needles, he’d be brave and face the needle anyway. I’m going to be brave like Spiderman… and dressing like him will help!

The answer would be 5:40, right? 50=40x+35x, solving for x gives 2/3 of an hour?
