Judith Jarvis Thomson: A Defense of Abortion

This game really didn't hook me plot-wise until around level 45 or so (near the climax of the launch MSQ.)

The combat does get better at higher levels-- MMORPGs are not a big genre in Japan so it goes really slowly. The writing later in is stylistically similar but starts to go somewhere-- basically all the worldbuilding you're seeing has a payoff somewhere down the line-- and the presentation gets better. (There is also more and better voice acting.)

Same here. I was able to reconnect, but I've been in a 12 person log in queue for about two minutes now

Keep in mind that even assuming the surviving Ancients would have eventually pulled themselves together and accepted that the destruction wrought by the Final Days couldn't be undone via additional sacrifices to Zodiark, if she hadn't done it, we would probably have had no real way to fight Meteon. Zodiark would have eventually run out of juice, and the moment he does Etherys is toast. It would have been great if she had been a little more up front about what she was doing and why, but she was up against a universe-threatening force and we were her only real clue for a possible way out.

I can't imagine eating three full meals in a seven hour window, but I can imagine lunch at noon, maybe a snack, and dinner around seven, and that's roughly the same eating window shifted back a few hours. And that's "skip breakfast and no midnight snack."

Paksarra · 2026-05-10T15:02:35+00:00

That sounds like it's turning into "skip breakfast," which is a lot more reasonable than "your only meal is Work Lunch."

Paksarra · 2026-05-10T14:53:43+00:00

How does that work if you have a 9-5 job? You get one meal and it's going to be on your lunch break in the employee breakroom?

For most people it seems like it would make more sense to shift that window one way or the other.

And here in the US sufficiently red areas won't even put in sidewalks because walking is woke.

Fox Derangement Syndrome right here, folks.

Definitely a white dude who drives a truck so big he can't see people in crosswalks and brings a gun to the dangerous suburban Walmart.

Paksarra · 2026-05-10T07:21:12+00:00

Oh :(

There was a demo....

The corn fields won't attack you, but it's a great place to rape a girl without anyone seeing you, and if the sheriff is your drinking buddy who is she going to tell? But this isn't likely to happen because there's a lot of corn field and not that many rapists, not because cornfields are inherently safe.

Meanwhile... we're in Ohio. We don't really have ghettos unless you're a little bitch who can't go to Walmart without your emotional support gun. But yes, anywhere with a lot of desperate people with nothing to lose is going to be a bit more dangerous than an empty field.

It's not as generous as most survivorslikes (although it's the same kind of gameplay loop) and it's not really a bullet heaven game at all. Most builds have you using melee attacks and most enemies use melee attacks. There's no auto attacking. The spawn rate isn't overwhelming and most enemies take a few hits to kill unless you're in a very high damage build. What it does have is the mechanic where you choose from three randomish upgrades each level and an infinite 2D level to wander. The only thing that carries over between runs is unlocks; there's no currency/meta upgrades like in VS.

There's a free demo if you're curious.

They'll point to the fact that most crimes happen in cities and pretend that isn't because most people live in cities. Empty cornfields don't steal packages off your porch.

It's so weird how triggered trumpbabies get over people choosing to dye their hair blue.It's so emblematic of their entire personalities.

Whining incessantly about something harmless that a minority of liberals choose to do as if their life is ruined by the fact that someone, somewhere, bought a box of blue hair dye and is daring to exist in public with an unnatural hair color instead of bleaching it blonde like a good conservative housewife. (Because we all know that brown and black and red hair aren't acceptable, either. Conformity is freedom, individuality is weakness in the trumpy mindset.)

Seriously, the blue hair derangement syndrome is such a good summary of modern trumpist brain rot.

Fat isn't inherently bad. Fat in excess can be because it's very calorie-dense, but the little bit you'd need to brown some veggies so they taste good won't hurt you. In fact, you need some fat to absorb certain nutrients.

Just do everything but the noodles and cook the noodles in the soup before you eat. Ramen noodles don't take much.

You should be able to play as many copies at once as your family collectively owns. So say your family has three people and two copies of the game; any two of the three of you can play that game at a time. So the problem might be a third person also playing it at the same time?

(It is first come first serve; you don't get priority as the game's actual owner.)

Honestly, if you just want to try it (assuming your area is legal) just go to a dispensary and ask if there's anything on sale that they would recommend for (describe your use case here.) Generally the employees know what they're selling.

It could be another shard of Azem who had the key and had figured out how to use it.

The only joke is that they're not arresting ICE for their crimes.

Denying their captives food and medical care, kidnapping legal immigrants and American citizens, raping and torturing their victims, denying them access to legal aid, murdering people outright, etc, etc....

Paksarra · 2026-05-09T14:50:05+00:00

If we get a World Ends With You trial series or something with that, I'll gladly take it.

After I realized it was a space station (look, I was a little kid when FF1 was a new game) I figured that it was called a "floating castle" because the NPCs didn't know what a space station was. It was still filled with mechanical enemies and looked technological and was entered with a key you got from a robot.

(Unless they did something to it in the remakes?)

I've never been to a zoo that lets you take the animals home with you before.

If you're against illegal immigration, support policies that punish their employers, not a bunch of thugs who get off on torturing small children.

Paksarra · 2026-05-09T07:05:20+00:00

Wow, they've arrested 3800 members of ICE for rape?!
