Dark is probably the best show on Netflix

I’m gonna go against the grain here a little bit.

I’ve never been particularly bothered by WoW’s approach to microtransactions. It’s all cosmetics and transfer/name/race change services.

I understand the fear that even cosmetic transactions can drive game design decisions, but I just don’t think it’s that bad with WoW. It has certainly never been pay to win, and has never even really been pay for convenience.

If someone wants to spend $20 on a meaningless mount I’m not really sure I care.

I’m gonna potentially disagree with one thing: You should maybe avoid putting your best aspect on your weapon while still in the earlyish levels. Your weapon should be upgraded regularly when you find ones that do more damage, so reapplying aspects whenever you get a new weapon can be very expensive.

Stalker by Tarkovsky. The description made it sound like a really cool sci-fi/fantasy, bleak adventure movie. Instead it was just a bunch of melodramatic philosophy. Pretty much nothing even remotely sci-fi happens.

This is one of those problems that makes more sense with context. The teacher had the students working on “reasonableness”, which is essentially “does the question I’m asking make sense?”. The students were probably instructed to ignore actually trying to solve the problem when presented with one, but instead explain why the question either does or doesn’t make sense.

In this case the student potentially misunderstood the task. The failure on the teacher’s part is wording the question in such a way that it actually has a reasonable solution, and isn’t necessarily an unreasonable question.

Reddit is like 50% of the reason Google is even useful anymore haha. So much useful, niche information.

Guides are really helpful for finding interesting synergies between skills and aspects and whatnot, without having to theorycraft. I find it difficult to enjoy a build unless I understand all those synergies.

So the guides actually enhance my appreciation of the game because they help me discover builds that work, and thus builds that I enjoy.

The teacher doesn’t need to write all of that to get the point across. They can speak to them on the side and say, “remember when we worked on reasonableness last Tuesday?”

I’m ostensibly a Watford fan, having lived near there as a kid before moving to the States, but I don’t really support any particular team. I kinda pick new stories each year that I like to follow. I realize this is probably a strange way to watch football, but it works for me.

This might be a stupid answer, but I genuinely think Americans couldn’t handle that system. We already have problems with people not stopping properly at stop signs. If we had the “give way” system too many people would just ignore it and cause accidents.

I realize this is super pessimistic, but I think it’s true. We have a handful of roundabouts and people always screw them up.

I don’t think Americans are inherently dumber or anything, I just think our licensing exam is laughably easy. You literally just parallel park, then drive in a square where you encounter one traffic light, and one stop sign. Exam was over in 5 minutes. Here’s your license.
