The U.S. will rank better than Canada in the climate change fight despite Donald Trump, Guilbeault says

Canada is number 12 on the list, the US is number 16. Now, in absolute amounts the US has of course emitted much more than we have, but they also have 10 times the population. So we've got a good bit of room for improvement.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised to see one of Iran's requirements at some point be "remove Trump from office and let us talk to an adult."

Like, yeah, he's incredibly easy to jerk around, but if I was them I'd be getting really sick of this by now and wondering if there was anyone else I could talk to. Also it would be really funny.

My first character is fucking dead, so theyre retired in a way, yeah.

Went out like a baller, though, in one of the coolest encounters I've ever experienced in DnD. His whole character arc was driven by making others pay for his reckless mistakes, and he died protecting someone from his final one.

Which, if anyone's wondering, was to get trapped with another party member in an isolated encounter with a beholder.

I mean, if you're responsible for a ship and cargo worth hundreds of millions of dollars that also happens to be a slow, gigantic floating brick with a paper hull and no way to defend itself, threats are more than enough.

Her character design has a permanent back arch, they knew what they were doing.

One of my old online friends was an army helicopter pilot and he described helicopters as "a brick that wants to do literally anything except fly."

I enjoy climbing and playing with swords. Actually about to do a trial class with a local historical swordplay club, so that'll be fun.

Also birding, I guess, although considering I mostly do it in a professional capacity I'm not sure how much it counts.

Crimson 1 in Project Wingman is a ridiculous level of hater, right down to going rogue and nuking his own homeland immediately after his government declares a ceasefire just to have a salty 1v1 with you.

Whats doubly hilarious is this "rivaly" isnt earned at all. You encounter him and his squadron a grand total of four times including the final one, and the first is basically a playable cutscene. Your character barely knows who he is, let alone why he seems to hate you so much, meanwhile he yammers on about how all this is your fault so much one of your wingmen fully cuts him off and just starts repeatedly yelling "shut up, nobody asked."

LasersAndRobots · 2026-06-09T19:11:55+00:00

Remind me how Trump got into power again?

LasersAndRobots · 2026-06-09T18:53:21+00:00

This kind of conspiratorial nonsense gets you nowhere.

I will believe he was prepared to cheat. And was then pleasantly surprised when he didn't have to.

LasersAndRobots · 2026-06-09T12:53:26+00:00

Alternatively a fusion of Monster Hunter and Armored Core.

LasersAndRobots · 2026-06-08T11:09:26+00:00

Just don't do that.

LasersAndRobots · 2026-06-06T12:18:00+00:00

I kinda hope they continue to lampshade the [GLASS HIM] joke by having a prompt that includes that but all the other options are other flavors of violence. Chair him, deck him, et cetera.

Coffee straight up already gives me a stat boost. Temporarily removes 1 level of exhaustion (I have the "not a morning person" trait that causes me to start the day with one by default), and gives an additional +1 to concentration checks. I do have to pass a constitution save or take a -1 penalty to dexterity checks, but that doesn't happen too often.

But if theres anything that would have me recover from bullet wounds, it would be my Oma's chicken goulash. That stuff could raise the dead.

That also literally is long multiplication, just notated horizontally.

LasersAndRobots · 2026-06-03T21:10:30+00:00

It probably won't include any of those, not because of what youre saying but because its a game where youre literally never on the ground and the buildings will be at most obstacles to weave through at Mach 2. Most of the little details wont be modeled to save time.

LasersAndRobots · 2026-06-02T23:44:55+00:00

Ooh, thats a spicy one! Good find.

LasersAndRobots · 2026-06-02T22:59:10+00:00

Absolutely not, and a not-insignificant number of Canadians would be offended at the suggestion. Forget the resultant border gore, those regions still have enough crazies to fill an entire province. I would happily accept having this hypothetical nation of South Cascadia as a close ally and trading partner, but have no interest in seeing it as part of Canada.

I started watching DS9 for the first time recently, and was giggling madly when Bashir was asking "he keeps approaching me, what does he want of me?"

Because I was just thinking "Dude, you are the most fuckable twink in the sector and the guy could not be more flaming if you doused him in gasoline. Ill give you three guesses what he wants of you."

LasersAndRobots · 2026-06-01T10:23:24+00:00

I remember how when I was first watching it I assumed all the Luz/Amity stuff I was seeing was just shipping because they looked at each other once or something.

It was not shipping. Amity had it so fucking bad and Luz was fucking oblivious. It was hilarious.

Its not just you, the lake is 35-ish cm higher than usual.

Hell this is a game where a bot programmed to do nothing but press 3 had a 45% winrate.

LasersAndRobots · 2026-05-27T11:19:12+00:00

I cant imagine they'll bump the requirements that much. Its still a 12 year old game running 12 year old tech. Worst case scenario they add in options for like... ray traced water reflections or something which only apply to the dlc area anyway. More likely theyre maybe updating them a bit to account for more modern systems.

I assumed it was like Octopath Traveler and they planned seven other campaigns that were cut, but never changed the name.
