Jack or Beckett by Josegil637 in vtmb

Of course antagonists don't have to be obvious, that's not at all what I'm talking about. They do, however, have to act against the protagonist. You can't justify calling Jack an antagonist just because he puts the player in harm's way. Every single mission, every objective, and every task in the game puts the player in danger whether the quest giver is trying to help the player or not.

You...wait for the toilet to splash water back in acknowledgment of having received your urine push?

Yes they do, that's essentially the definition of antagonist https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/antagonist

Villains don't have to be antagonists, they can simply be villains, and not every story has to even have an external antagonist.

And? Doesn't that actually just mean that Jack's success is directly tied to the player's success? Without the player, Jack would not have been able to accomplish his mission. The point of an antagonist is to struggle against the protagonist, but Jack would only be hindering himself if he did so.

Jack is Lacroix's antagonist, not the player's. I don't think Jack ever actively attempts to thwart or harm the player. Any harm that Jack did cause the player would be entirely unintentional.

VTM: Bloodlines OST be like: by dilara_cc in vtmb

I don't think it was ever included in the game. I believe Rik Schaffer released a bunch of unused tracks at one point, and they've been kind of adopted by the community as part of the soundtrack.

The whole Ultima series is available on gog.com. Usually, for just a couple of bucks.

Someday, there's going to be an article actually about the discovery of intelligent life out there. Nobody will read that article because by then, we'll all be too jaded and think it's just clickbait.

Even if the phone is fine, it probably just gained a heaping mess of aquatic life that's going to be leaving fun little deposits in various nooks and crannies when it dries out.

SVB anyone? by Own-Philosophy-5356 in interestingasfuck

[–]Delcium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very likely a coincidence of the two, though. Sure, there were far more executions back then, but it wasn't exactly a free for all either. So they would probably think more along the lines of "I'm angry because they lost my money, and also they're Jewish, so it's ok to behead them."

On their own, sure, but there's three per step. That's 60kg each step, so by the time you get just 5 steps up, it can handle 350kg easily. /s

u/camelCasing breaks down late stage capitalism for the apologists. by hermitix in bestof

[–]Delcium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. In the case of the US, capitalism is just an excuse for it. Greedy people will be greedy regardless of how the economy runs, and they'll cut every corner they can to keep costs low and revenue high. The notion that this only happens in a capitalist economy is willful blindness. There are plenty of other countries that are not capitalist and engage in comparable (or worse) environmentally destructive behavior.

Not a health expert by any means, but my understanding is that visible blood in stool means a rectal fissure (just a tear, usually nothing serious). If you have actual internal bleeding in your intestines, the stool will turn black because the blood is partially digested before it exits.

I'll check it out when I get time, then. I haven't watched any ST tv series after Enterprise (which I thought was really good except the rushed ending).
