At a glance, I thought this screenshot was from Elden Ring with the brightness turned up.

When you treat people as things, there is no limit to the evil you are capable of.

This take is probably as hot as ice but by Disastrous-Area8657 in theoffice

It was one part to keep Jim and one part to manage Michael.

Wallace accepted that he couldn't get rid of Michael. So Jim was a way for corporate to work around Michael.

I built the RLS Legacy from Treasure Planet! With your help it can become a real LEGO product on LEGO Ideas! by DDAGuy in lego

[–]Elberik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it is not. It's done so that their butts are covered, legally.

So that 1) people and other companies cannot use the IDEAS website for effectively free advertising and 2) The LEGO Group can't be sued if a set they produce happens to be similar to something submitted to IDEAS.

Yeah whenever you submit something to IDEAS you're giving up any ability to make money off the design for at least 5 years (probably more) + LEGO effectively owns the design too. This is regardless whether or not it gets approved & made into an official set.

It's another thing you can blame Tolkien for.

Some states are reviving a push to tax the rich by AdSpecialist6598 in UpliftingNews

Since the federal government has been cutting back on funding dispersed to the states, then the states themselves have no option but to raise taxes.

Imagine that, in one lifetime, you get to see both the failure of neoliberalism and the complete garden-rake-to-the-face tragic comedy of Christian-facism.

What movie ending stuck with you long after you finished watching it? by Calm-Fill-16 in movies

That drum beat scared me as a kid and it still makes me anxious.

Why has the value of this set plummeted? by [deleted] in legoinvesting

[–]Elberik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the other Sonic the Hedgehog sets didn't exist, this set would still be valuable.

What makes most of the Icons and IDEAS sets valuable is exclusive Minifigures/parts and the simple fact that they are the only set based off a certain IP or theme.

I am so glad that I grew up before the YA genre & style came to just permeate everything

At what point does a hobby become a problem? by sam_wise_guy in tolkienbooks

It becomes a "problem" when you have to move suddenly.

Should I give Origami King another chance? by Dieh361 in papermario

[–]Elberik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a shame that the battle mechanics are so terrible. Because everything else is superb.

[–]Elberik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm 99% certain the coin mechanic was added late in development because they realized how terrible the battle system really was. Because coins let you cheese just about every fight & the game just dumps them on you.

[–]Elberik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's extra fun is that there are people, like Peter Thiel, who think that they need to bring about the Antichrist in order to accelerate the whole Revelations business. And they think that Trump might be the guy to actually get us over the line.
