Dead is the state I prefer them in, even!

Yeah I mean I don’t have an MBA or anything but I’m pretty sure “don’t praise Hitler” is pretty much Marketing 101?

Couldn’t they just restrict these games to be purchased with steam wallet credit only? You can’t buy a porn game on a card, fine. But you can top up your account with €50. Afterwards, the payment processor is out of the equation.

Without even reading the article, it’s a Trump appointed judge in some backwater Texas town isn’t it?

Edit: yup

It’s like playing Mario Kart on Kalamari Desert. Sometimes you’re stuck waiting for a train and Luigi pulls up behind you.

Seconding this, I’ve had the great fortune to spend almost 18 months of my life in Mexico, visiting over 20 states. I’ve yet to feel unsafe in all that time. It’s an incredibly beautiful country with an extremely welcoming culture, stunning architecture and natural beauty, and unmatched cuisine. Mexico is a bucket list destination for sure.

Par for the course for Apartheid Space-Karen.

Yea, that’s actually a more accurate way to phrase it. Ask it to generate something with Hitler and it’ll happily oblige, ask it to generate something supporting trans rights and it’ll block you.

It’s an extremely niche product, to be fair. The general public was never going to buy it, and diehards will buy it at a premium price. When you consider the small manufacturing runs they’re probably planning, the price seems less ridiculous IMO.

I wouldn’t pay $300 for it, so I don’t claim it’s a “good value”, but I can understand from a mathematics of manufacturing standpoint why the price is something like that.

That’s it? “We’re aware”? We do a prisoner swap with Russia and release a notorious arms smuggler, just to get back a weed smuggling basketball player. But when our “good buddy” Israel literally murders one of our citizens, we’re just “aware”?

Apparently this is the name of a construction/engineering firm here in Lisbon Portugal. Amusing coincidence

Is there an equivalent to doing /u/user in The Bad Place, to notify and summon someone?

 

Do you like old fashioneds, and wine? This is the drink for you! I can't remember now where I got the idea, but I've been making them forever.


2-3 shots Bourbon whiskey (personal favourite: Jefferson's Reserve, the gentle alcohol notes but strong wood flavours blend gracefully into the wine notes!)

1 - 1.5 shots' worth of tawny port (don't need anything too good here but a basic 10 year Graham's or similar will do)

1 teaspoon simple syrup (take it easy on this since the Port itself will impart sweetness!)

1 big ass ice cube

1 maraschino cherry

 

I'm a fan of custom and unique twists on cocktails; and if you're reading this, hopefully you are too! Let's move beyond the typical basic stuff and discuss more interesting recipes that have a special place in your heart, particularly if you've concocted them yourself, or put a twist on them.
