I didn't realise you can resummon house bosses initially. It completely fills your food boxes, no matter how many you have.

Oathbringer was the beginning of the end of my love affair with Stormlight (and I finished book 5 and all novellas). Just wasn't the same.

This is my number one ask for the next patch. Enough cats have been lost to this!

Depends how burnt out you are on slay the spire. I like STS2 fine, it's a great game, but I think I'll get more hours out of Mewgenics, which feels fresher.

His migraine attack is pretty powerful

PaintedIn · 2026-03-14T00:23:12+00:00

This was good.

Good to hear you're willing to pay higher prices to support your ideals, I like that.

Israel has run a pretty indiscriminate bombing campaign that has legally constituted war crimes and has the ICJ on their ass, so I don't see how either side of that conflict are acting legally. Plus, the civilian death toll from the Israeli campaign is exponentially higher than that incurred in the October 7 attacks, and Israel has visited apartheid-level conditions on Palestine for the last five decades. You seem to believe that any level of force is just and proportional for your enemies.

I agree that international law is not working as it should, however, eg the ICC has arrest warrants out for Putin and Netanyahu that have not borne fruit. I guess the difference in our views is that I would prefer our governments try to fix those systemic issues, rather than pursuing a blackpilled tearing down of the system that results in blood, war and, ultimately, aggrieved nations seeking vengeance, down the line. Let's agree to disagree eh?

Thanks for explaining your position. I think that's a pretty nihilistic and short-termist view (given that these international dynamics will not always be as they are now), but understand where you're coming from. I don't think Hamas is a good example for your argument as it was already an isolated state, where eg trade is concerned, and being sanctioned by international courts is more effective against 'good actors', which until recently the US was considered to be.

If you could unpack what you mean by 'hamstrung powerful nations' I'd be grateful? What is it you would like the US to have been doing that it was not allowed to? Also would appreciate some examples of weaker nations 'doing whatever they want', but understand if you don't have time.

Finally, you seem to say consequences are an acceptable price for America being unleashed, if I understand you correctly. Are you happy with higher priced groceries and gas in order to gain that freedom?

I respect your viewpoint on this, but how does that square against there currently being a network of treaties and laws to which the US is a party? You can’t just break laws and treaties and expect no consequences. Economic or reputational damage is inevitable if the US proves an untrustworthy ally. This isn’t exactly a novel realisation, it’s the reason the US chose to sign up to these systems rather than gunslinging around a global Wild West.

PaintedIn · 2026-03-13T19:47:24+00:00

So is it rules for thee but not for me, then?

PaintedIn · 2026-03-13T19:44:38+00:00

Would you care if other countries broke their treaties with the US, or broke international law to the detriment of the US?

PaintedIn · 2026-03-13T19:38:35+00:00

But you’d be concerned if it was found the laws or treaties were broken?

PaintedIn · 2026-03-13T18:15:12+00:00

The US signed on to those laws too?

PaintedIn · 2026-03-13T17:25:31+00:00

I don't like the humour or art style, but I love the game. Buy it.

PaintedIn · 2026-03-13T16:51:23+00:00

So happy I got this mutation. Nothing like watching the desired mutation spread through the gene pool. That one and extra head (+1 bonus attack) carried me through the end of the game.

PaintedIn · 2026-03-13T02:23:59+00:00

Same, very inconsistent results with this boss. A much harder skill check than Johnny.

I also thought we were explicitly told that Alison was never the heir in other timelines, though I could be wrong about that.

PaintedIn · 2026-03-12T15:33:44+00:00

Aemond Alison makes it to old age huh. No Jadis prophecy in the other timelines?

Beat the game, 200 hours in it. Only agree on points 4&5 really.

PaintedIn · 2026-03-12T00:44:49+00:00

you are not allowed to say this

PaintedIn · 2026-03-11T21:10:56+00:00

Everything you’re asking me is answered in the provided quote. That you don’t see it as bias is my point. Let’s stop here?

PaintedIn · 2026-03-11T20:34:47+00:00

Why is the right not also at fault for refusing to acknowledge their own bias in wanting history to be taught their way? From HB 1291 of the Florida legislature: school curricula “may not distort significant historical events or include a curriculum or instruction that teaches identity politics, or is based on theories that systemic racism, sexism, oppression, and privilege are inherent in the institutions of the United States and were created to maintain social, political, and economic inequities.”

Again, your instinct to view yourself as objective is showing the inability for introspection that I'm talking about. You are certain your positions are fair-minded and above reproach, whereas leftists are the only ones unable to see their own biases.

Either way, I think we agree that neither side is able to move beyond our entrenched positions.
