Superman is such a single note character that the good things that came out of his existence can all be counted on one hand. I get that he was foundational to the concept of superheros, but it shows in this day and age.

I will say the monologue in justice league while he’s slapping around Darkside is immaculate though.

That’s my route. Mods run on pirate skyrim just as well as legal and the best missions in Bethesda games aren’t made by Bethesda.

It’s a buck 25 now, but you can get two Inc brand R2 pens at dollar tree. They’re the only thing I’ve written with for nearly a decade now. They’re a smooth ballpoint with a slight bleed in 0.7 making your penmanship look bold, smooth, and steady. Everything my handwriting lacks. They now make a 0.5 and is equally as clean but far better for smallest script. One pen lasts me about 6 months of regular writing.

I may try it, I just can’t get behind paying blizzard more money.

Honestly, I can’t get behind d2r. D2 still runs perfectly fine, my Battlebox still installs, and I know it won’t have any bullshit from this side of the 2010’s

OK, but in this metaphor I’m not a boxer, in a guy who watched part of rocky 2 and if you mugged me you’d find 3 pennies and a d20. I’m not even the ant unfortunately crushed in the machinations of these entities, I’m the dust in the grease among the cogs.

In a practical sense it is a waste of time and resources for either of them to record my life, but if the China phone has a prettier ui and a cheaper pricetag it would be a huge improvement for me personally. Could one Midwest honky with a foreign phone and no free time genuinely cause any damage?

So, I’m not exactly well versed in all this, could you fill me in on what threats Huawei poses to I, a random poor person going about my day in the US?

I refuse to believe a Corp or the NSA isn’t already looking over my shoulder, and with nothing to steal, wouldn’t using Huawei tech be like picking between McDonald’s and Wendy’s? Same product, different flavor sort of situation?

Has anyone figured out how to crack the creation club yet? I’d rather pay some random coder for this stuff then the dick bags that decide buying a game isn’t enough.

Ubisoft

worryingly dated hands-on

less exciting than expected

It’s 2024, is there anyone genuinely stupid enough to not have expected exactly that from the start? In a world of passionately programed indi titles and fantastic strides from studios that care about their product, why is anyone taking the time to even look at Ubisoft these days, let alone fall for their scam?

I actually stumbled across it in Highschool looking to see if there was any precedence for videogame chaos magic in history and it ended up being a big influence on me. The concept of cosmic truth being unattainable was a huge existential relief, I don’t have to strive for any greater than I need.

The idea that all spiritual practice is arbitrary rules fueled only by the beliefs of the practitioners helps me more in my practical life than spiritually. When you really stop to look at it, so many stressors are just internalized arbitrary rules. I can run a race and choose what place I want to be in, I don’t have to choose first place.

I used to use the heated bed to brew tea while I was modeling. Poly makes a good cup.

I’m just gonna ruin it for 90% of the replies here and drop the unusual articles page. It will have pretty much everything.

Also Chaos Magic is a wild ride.

State mandated fun!

Shit, how do I do it??

Don’t Do Crimes

Judges hate him for this one easy trick!

How does Finland handle naturalization? I’m not well off by any measure but I’m more than happy to jump through every hoop to get out of my shit hole nation.

I’d like to think I’m not so backed into a corner that violence is the answer, so I’ll do what I do every day of the week: keep my head down and wait.

If push comes to shove, and the lives of myself and my people are genuinely threatened, I won’t retaliate in kind. I come from a long line of people that knew the benefits of blending in. I may not have the moxy to be a firebrand or to rally others to a cause, I may not have the heart to pull a trigger, but I have the means and skill to make triggers and the good sense to stay away from they places they get used.

It may not be the heroic sense of most Americans, but I was born into an America that sold us an action hero instead of providing us safety and I’ve never been one to buy rhetoric. I will not give my life for a cause, I will live to see it succeed.

I got cut off by a minivan one time so I guess Biden is saying I have carde blanc to run every minivan I see off the road.

So I did the napkin math, if you pick two random pills and two random pills, there’s a 19.05% chance to get something objectively bad, a 28.57% chance of getting something useless, and a 52.38% chance of getting something objectively good for a total 80.95% chance to get something not bad. Assuming infinite loops are banned and you don’t have a genuine interest in a given pill, 4 random pills is the best call.

There’s also a 2.27% chance of getting 2 random pills on each of those 4 tries.

Yeah, plus the diamond cartel probably doesn’t need competition, they have a hard enough time keeping the rock relevant.

You’d be better off asking for shoeboxes of more common materials so you could skirt the inevitable questions on the matter and not get flagged as a counterfeiter or something. Though personally, the majority of things I’m interested in owning can fit in a shoebox anyways so why not cut out the middleman?
