If they get friends, I get friends.

Fuck every last person who gatekeeps the way someone uses intentional game mechanics.

“Add toilet flushing to the game” has been an inside joke in the community for a while. Before that, it was “Add golf to the game.” So, yeah, it’s a cheeky way to announce 1.0. Does come off as weird to those not in on the joke.

I gotta say, lately it feels like there might be hope for Texas. Lots of lower-level government stuff happening that’s NOT batshit insane. Hopefully the movement can keep building and maybe overtake the state someday.

The first one to come to mind is The Core.

It sure sounds like you would like it. I will say that for me, everything about the game is fantastic, except for the combat, which is kinda terrible. Especially the boss fights. Feels to me like they’re trying to mimic a souls-like style, but really really overshot on difficulty.

Basically, I say go for it, but don’t hesitate to drop the difficulty settings, if you’re like me.

Also, get yourself a physical notepad. Yeah, I kind of agree that if note-taking and such is intended as part of the game, there should be a venue to support that in-game, but there isn’t really.

Also, also, don’t feel bad about having to look up some stuff for the really late/post-game puzzles. One thing they toom WELL from Dark Souls is the idea of puzzles that are really made to be solved by the collective wisdom of the community, not just you.

Also, also, also, don’t disregard the language puzzle, completely. I did, and when I looked it up later, I wish I hadn’t I wish I’d at least have given it a shot, for myself.

Good luck!

That’s the insidious part. People advocating for Biden to go on a crime spree are assuming that the Supreme Court is aiming to be consistent, and apply this ruling fairly to both parties. They’ve INTENTIONALLY left it unspecified what counts as an “official” act, so that any question that comes up just goes right back to them, and they can rule however they see fit. Also, people are assuming the Court won’t just directly contradict their own rulings, the moment it’s convenient. This entire thing just shows that the Court can and will give itself final say on any questions of law or policy, I.E. anything anyone in the government does. This doesn’t make the President a king, it makes the Court the king.

Jack’s just trying to communicate in a Canadian’s native language.

Absolutely. Like you say, it just doesn’t happen in large streams, and the threshold is probably a lot larger than you think, since on average maybe 10% of viewers actually participate in chat. The dynamic starts shifting at around 1,000 simultaneous viewers, in my experience, between chat being readable and interactable, and being just spam. That’s still plenty big enough to qualify for partner, and even make a living off of streaming alone.

The only negative aspect of FemShep is that she can’t romance Tali.

friendly reminder that the game developer himself said this game ‘needed no female players’" and claimed “some things are made only for men”

I anticipate this game dying in a hot fire.
