It would have been much faster to just say your head is stuck up your arse.

Yeah yeah, Trump is special an unique and the world has never seen anything like him before, except like… Nearly every single previous US president. So once again - are you new to American politics, or is your head stuffed so far up your arse you genuinely think any part of this is new or different?

The calypso twins in Borderlands 3. The streamer schtick got old quickly, and the game just took control away from you whenever they showed up so they could act with impunity. They were just annoying and kind of whiny so the “sympathetic” backstory didn’t do anything for me. I remember the final boss being deeply unimpressive after all the build up, too.

a systematic takeover of the media to brainwash as many not-as-politically-engaged people as possible. A take over the likes of the US have never seen before

Is this your first encounter with politics or something? There’s no way you actually think this is the first time America of all places has used the media to radicalise its populace.

4 words: roll for anal circumference.

Many British laws consist of a blanket ban with exemptions rather than the American assumption of legality unless specifically banned. So knives that are legal to carry/legal reasons for carrying a knife are all exemptions rather than an assumed norm.

I finally managed to break out of 3 months of Angine de Poitrine yesterday. Definitely a record for my musical obsessions.

A hinged vertical bike hanger can save a lot of room, particularly if you mount it in a corner.

Maybe someone’s finally solved it over the past few years, but he was telling me that automating apple harvests was still a massive challenge about 5 years ago - there are/were machines to pick up fallen apples and robots for picking them individually, but you can’t easily shake all the apples off a mature tree for collection and a human can pick them from the branch far more quickly than a robot. From what I can see online there’s one that does it for young trees, but most of them are still glorified cherry-pickers.

Afaik it’s mostly medium-large fruits that still get harvested by hand. I knew a Norwegian guy who developed the ideal bodybuilder physique just from picking apples for a few seasons.

The only times I’ve had fun in pvp games/modes was when I was playing with a group of people I knew.

Thinking about it you’re sort of right, in that I enjoy playing stuff like Smash Bros and Mario Kart with my friends, but even then I have no interest in competing, I just find ways to annoy everyone else. I might win as a side effect of being annoying, but I’m just asking likely to be hoisted by my own petard, and I consider both good results.

"can you get pregnant,” then that leaves out important information, such as “I have ovaries and should be screened for ovarian cancer.”

They know you have ovaries if you can get pregnant. From an outside perspective it definitely looks like you’re just being argumentative rather than discussing it from a position of knowledge.

Not really, I always preferred stuff that involved a group. The closest I get is board and card games, but they have an element of randomness that takes away the individual competition and makes it more of a social activity.

I have a strong preference for co-operative games, so I don’t really understand the attraction of non-team based PvP games like battle royales, extraction shooters, or just straight death matches like in quake or CoD. Like why would you want to be cold and alone with everyone out to get you when you could have friends.

I found the timing really difficult too, so I found a mod that slightly increases the dodge/parry window (something like 0.2s to 0.3s for parries) and suddenly I could reliable dodge and parry most attacks. Still requires precise timing, but now it’s a precise timing I can actually hit.

Noita is part pixel physics part programming simulator. The tutorial involves fighting your way downwards to the final boss, while the rest of the game involves destroying the environment in every other direction until you’re stronger than the sun.

Well yeah, because there are claims that happened in the same way there are claims that aliens built the pyramids: it’s completely imagined and based on no actual evidence.

It’s a lot easier to lose nukes when you have tens of thousands than it is if you have up to 60.

Avowed and Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon are the most Skyrim-like games I’ve seen recently, but I can’t speak for their quality. Dragon’s Dogma would be an ideal fit but it’s 3rd person.

This is about knowledge, not intellect,

Wow yeah making yourself look real smart here. Take your own advice.
