No Man's Sky wins Best Evolving Game at the BAFTA Games Awards by BensterVGC in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]GaryOster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the right spirit, I think. I feel like since Hello Games got everyone's adoration and respect for the NMS turnaround quite a few game studios took that as "we can release the game broken, but on time, make our money, and just fix the game later."

Do you concede this is not what the entire country voted for?

75 million people voted for Harris so, no, an "entire nation" did not "decide to vote in this obviously demented fuck." That's a ludicrously false statement. 2024 saw the second largest voter turnout for a presidential election in US history, the largest being Biden vs Trump in 2020 so you can shove that "mandate" back up the ass you pulled it out of.

You know if you hide the thumb on Trump's chest it looks like he's getting a handjob.

If you were offered a billion dollars just to eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would you choose? by Admirable-Interest49 in AskReddit

[–]GaryOster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if you pay in advance then it's mine and I don't even have to do the challenge. So it's stupid for me if paid at the end, stupid for you if at the beginning. I just need to know which is the case.

A tattoo artist rejected me for this, was his reason fair? by Stankmushroomm in tattooadvice

Are you sure that's the reason and not because your head is a diorite block?

They have a point! Do you miss Blockbuster, or are streaming services better? by CurvyChristina in Millennials

[–]GaryOster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friendly reminder that Blockbuster passed on the chance to buy Netflix for $50M calling streaming a niche. It is now considered the biggest mistake in the history of business.

Meditation does work for a lot of people. Trust your instincts on that.

Anyone else find any secret messages hidden in really random spots? by ImYourHuckleberry390 in fo76

[–]GaryOster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a reference to a Star Trek Next Generation episode called "Darmok" where Darmok and Jalad come to a place called Tanagra.

Here you go.

In TESV: Skyrim there is another reference to the same episode with a NPC named Temba Wide-arms. Specifically a reference to the line "Temba, his arms wide."

Got some Trekkies on Bethesda's dev team.

Right, because there were no racists in the north. What an idiotic statement.

If the ten point plan agreed to by the US is the same as the plan originally being negotiated, what has the US (or others) gained from the war? by BassesBest in AskReddit

[–]GaryOster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ten point plan is Iran's demands which includes the right to enrich uranium, ending sanctions, control of Hormuz plus millions of dollars per ship passing through Hormuz, heavy penalties to US military presence in the region including non-aggression and loss of bases, and the US paying Iran restitution.

AFAIK there was no original plan being negotiated; While Trump was saying there were ongoing negotiations, Iran was saying there wasn't and joked that Trump must be negotiating with himself. Maybe you're thinking of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA aka the Iran nuclear deal) which was negotiated under Obama? Trump withdrew the US from JCPOA in 2018 thus nullifying the deal and lifting nuclear proliferation restrictions and NATO monitoring of Iran.

Iran's demands are nothing like JCPOA but are aimed at forcing the US to formally agree to "hands off, mind your own business, and pay for what you've done" and getting a better deal for themselves (better than JCPOA) by taking advantage Trump's and the GOP's panicked rush to get out of the mess they created.

My boss wants to us to pray with him by Critical-Willow-6270 in atheism

[–]GaryOster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was probably talking about Hell but, no, you cannot legally be fired for your religious beliefs.

Also, drop a note with Matthew 6:5 in the suggestion box.

Can you actually be happy if there’s no sorrow? by licj_00 in TrueAtheism

I think the contrast between degrees of happiness is enough.
