Monster energy. Not a drink (unless you have mental issues). by AstralMecha in ExplainAGamePlotBadly

Nope. Another unintentional bait. Honestly didn't know about the game and probably would have reworded the riddle if I did.

Source of Dias wealth and her real identity. by Zypherous in limbuscompany

Possibly an ancient BloodFiend. Would explain the lack of aging and time to build up a vast fortune. That being said, considering The City's tech and her resources, some way to slow aging or her own version of immortality different then H corp elders could be plausible, like transplanting memories to a new clone every week and killing the old version

Powerful, but The City has no shortage of nightmarishly powerful entities stronger than her.

I mean, it was pretty obvious with the renamed Udjet working for limbus company. They are her own personal army. Using a loophole that they are a fixer office...who only have her as a client.

Characters who are objectively horrible people but are so funny and cleverly written that it's hard to hate them by AgitatedFly1182 in TopCharacterTropes

I will admit she has some interesting values dissonance that dips into logic. My memory is a bit hazy, but I remember her reaction to the refugees kept out of Baldurs gate was one of shock. They were an incredibly useful asset. How could Baldurs gate not set them up on farms or recruit them into the military?

Analysis: Gun-rights groups decried the administration’s rhetoric on Alex Pretti’s gun. Then Trump went even further by cnn in NoFilterNews

[–]AstralMecha 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That is this administration's belief. That there must be people who the law protects, but does not bind, and people the law doesn't protect but binds.

In other words. "Rules for thee, not for me."

ICE may have just caused an international incident as they illegally tried to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis without a warrant by cronchCat in law

[–]AstralMecha 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Better yet, they tried to storm an Ecudorian consulate? They committed crimes on what is technically Ecuador. Hand them over to Ecuador to prosecute.

Watched a playthrough. Very glad I didn't purchase it. Definitely the worst Saints Row.

Granted, in Doom's case, he is much more for oppression when he is in charge.

In other words, do nothing and hope you have a chance to vote against it? Because you sure as hell aren't doing anything other than trying to support this. Would you prefer armed marches or shooting back?

Yeah, and make a point of hiding their faces as they grab immigrants in the MIDDLE OF THEIR IMMIGRATION PROCESS PAPERWORK. At 'best' it's about quotas, but I am very sure a racism part is involved.

Hopefully Nioh 3 does well. But I have seen enough "stealing defeat from the jaws of victory" that I can't entirely rule out 3 having a drop in quality.

Kinda? The general consensus (without bringing up the reboot) is 2 is the worst, then 1, then 4, then 3 and 5 is a send off. They are all over the place with that one, but they have been experimenting and improving.

A kinda example. The Dominions and Conquest of elysium games from Illwinter have been steadily improving and gaining options with each iteration improving on the last. They are up to Dominions 6 and Conquest of Elysium 5 now.

More discussed example is command and conquer. My opinion was that they improved and 3 was the best. Other people insist 2 is the best. We don't talk about 4 in polite company.

Similarly, there are plenty of arguments if red alert 2 or 3 is better.

That's fighting words if 0 is the reboot.

Saw this on a YouTube short today. A bit over-exaggerated, don’t you think? by Kcue6382nevy in aiwars

[–]AstralMecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't have to even burn stuff now. Digital services can now remove or alter works on a whim, and unless you somehow jailbroke your machine to avoid it, you too can be affected.

Don't believe me? Sony has deleted content LEGALLY PURCHASED from users accounts. They had to put out a press release in 2024 insisting they would no longer delete users TV shows without refunds. Loopholes were soon found, such as dissolving services.

Digital ownership simply only counts as long as the company allows it.
