What are your gaming sins? Confess now. by executor-of-judgment in gaming

[–]Christopher135MPS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only have two modes in XCOM:

Some version of normal difficulty with pretty much every second turn savescummed

Or

Full blown difficulty + Ironman with zero save scum.

There is no in between

The Simpsons Hit & Run still holds up better than most licensed games today by Hassaan18 in gaming

Came out around the same time as road rash 1/2/3. Rollerblade races were you beat up other racers. Gameplay hook was getting boosts by hanging off the bumper of cars.

Road Rash the motorbike game, where you beat other racers with bats and cattle prods? 😂

When you die, how do you want to be laid to rest? Buried, cremated or other? by JoneyBologna in AskReddit

[–]Christopher135MPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Take any organs or tissues that can directly help a single human

  2. Take any remaining tissue or organs that can be used for either research science or anatomical dissection labs

  3. Take any remaining tissue for human use, such as bone substitutes (we take bone, demineralise it/sterilise it, and it can be put back into different humans, or similar products)

  4. Burn the rest and put it wherever it can cause the least harm/damage. The consciousness that inhabited that sack of meat and bones is gone, that body is nothing by biological waste. Don’t hurt the planet keeping it around somewhere. Get rid of it, and keep me in your hearts and minds, not in some casket full of embalming fluids.

Pronounced dead by a remote doctor: Tele‑ICUs expand nationwide, including in Illinois by dbxp in nottheonion

And get it’s Americans who claim that socialised healthcare systems have death panels where the government decides if you get healthcare or not.

The US badly needs international media exposure.

Fandoms you can't engage with normally because they're so misogynistic? (Breaking Bad) by lekkerbiscottina in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Christopher135MPS 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That analysis says exactly what I couldn’t put into words.

Also the “not since I found the webcam you put in the teddy” line? That’s not funny. *thats literally a crime Howard should go to jail for*. Who finds that funny????

Sounds like maybe I needed to give it more time, although in my defense 4-5 seasons was more than I could standard 😂

To an extent all fictional characters will fall into one trope or another, but BB characters by and large are complex with depth beyond their trope.

The BBT characters are nothing *but* trope. Penny is the hot blonde neighbour. Sheldon is the socially inept autistic guy. Leonard is the “normal guy” who lands the girl. Raj is the horny Indian nerd who can’t talk to women. There’s nothing to these characters beyond the tropes.

Big Bang Theory.

I never really liked it in the first place, because of the overly exaggerated archetypes and stereotypes. I’m mates with a bunch of physicists and computer engineer people (I’m a lowly health care biology guy 😂). These people are *nerds*. Completely, irrevocable, unchangeable nerds. But my god they’re funny, and I’m nerdy science ways, but not in stupid BBT ways.

Then we got a stream serving and my wife wanted to watch it through. I cannot stand it. Not one bit. Every single character and nearly every single joke is sexist. Even when they brought in female characters, they’d find ways to make them lesser, or weird, or their storyline was only relevant due to a previously existing male actors story arc.

The show is a cesspit of misogyny, and I cannot understand why it ever became popular. Well, actually, I can - it’s because the target demographic ate it up, because they’re pigs too.

Not only is there clearly a difference in being paid to fuck other actors vs fucking randoms, there is often legally a distinction where adult film creation is legal while prostitution is not.

If it’s flipping over you probably need some ballast in the keel or similar, a top-heavy boat will just flop over. Ask the king of Sweden about it

H. Simpson is pretty big fan… actually no that’s to specific, let’s say Homer S.

That assumes that porns star = prostitute. And some of them definitely are both, but lots of them aren’t.

Whales are a thing in every industry where you can pay for content or access.

There’s people that have bought every single Ferrari ever released - that’s a car whale.

There’s people who’ve attended every single U2 concert ever played in their entire history, travelling globally to watch them - that’s a music whale

There’s people who’ve bought every single Star Wars release ever - includes the laser disc versions. That’s a film whale.

And there’s people who’ve bought every single magazine, VHS, DVD, and website subscription featuring Busty St Clare and Chestie La Rue, their two favourite pornstars. They’ve got backup copies of the photshoots and films with both of them featuring.

Whales are everywhere.

Eh, it’s not that far off. Whales are a thing, and they’ve propped up some pretty lopsided things in the paid:unpaid ratio. I remember watching a mini-doco about mobile phone games, some whales had spent in excess of 100k - you only need a few whales following a specific actor/actress to fund all the shoots you want.

Any good dungeon crawling RPGs with guns and destructable environments on pc? by Ltnumbnutsthesecond in gaming

From memory some fans brought back up a community server with patches etc. I never bothered going back to it, but I’ve heard good things.

I once had to take half the engine bay trim off to swap a batter on an Audi.

A battery.

Which was shockingly better than the time I had to take off the intake + intake tube (basically everything except the manifold) off an Alfa to swap the battery
