That ending was so good!
I do think revealing the twist to the audience at the start was probably necessary to get the most attention from the widest audience, but for people who were going to watch the show anyway, it might have been way cooler if we learnt the twist at the end with Matt. But ah well, it was still great.
Yeah, exactly so! It would make so much more sense to cut that section down to 1 lane each way plus a fully separated bike path, but our councils and state governments insist on every road being both a place where businesses and homes can be located and an efficient route for cars to bypass.
and are way safer than they were
No they aren’t. They are for the people in them, but if anything the average (mean) car is more dangerous now than it used to be for people outside of the car, thanks to the rise of ridiculous yank tanks.
If anything, the problem is that our speed limits are too high still on streets where people live and where they’re accessing businesses.
I’m a little sad that that book took so long to arrive that I had gone from never even considering moving to another system (other than for some fun temporary one-shots & small campaigns to add variety) to basically not being able to imagine myself choosing to go back to D&D at all, between the time I paid for it and when it finally arrived 5 months ago. Because I really did love the idea of it when it was being Kickstarted.
4WD usually refers to a vehicle more like a Subaru Forester than a Ram, at least in my dialect of English. And while I’m at it, we don’t use the word “truck” here to refer to anything other than actual trucks. What Americans often call a truck would usually be called a “ute”, though that’s a relatively imprecise use of the term compared to the more traditional ute I linked above.
And, to be clear, I’m pretty anti-Forester, too, because most people rarely if ever use them in a way that actually needs that vehicle. But they’re definitely less obnoxious than yank tanks.
The point here isn’t that there is literally zero possible use case for them. It’s that the use case is so vanishingly small that bringing it up as a defence to criticism of those vehicles is just annoying and comes across as (even if you did not intend it this way) an attempt to derail the conversation in bad faith.
Yeah I swear from when Nadella took over until like 2 years ago, Microsoft really seemed to be on the right route. They were becoming the “good guys” of big tech companies.
WSL, actually being really good stewards of GitHub, Chredge actually (at first) being way better for users than Chrome, the amazing revitalisation of some of their oldest and most loved game franchises like Age of Empires and Flight Simulator.
But then recently we’ve had Microsoft adding shitty AI to everything, from Edge to Windows. We’ve had that AoE revitalisation tarnshined by showing off a really shitty official mobile game with all the makings of a typical pay 2 win time sink. The Age of Mythology remake has obvious AI art featured in it despite them insisting no AI was used (though thankfully the actual gameplay is as good as hoped for, at least). We’ve got large layoffs and other shitty corporate bullshit towards workers.
Daniel Shaw was among them? That evil bastard deserves everything he got and more!
