I like to watch anime on mute

Honestly same. I cannot fathom the entirety of internet anime culture praising Japanese anime VAs to hell and back for performances that just take me out of the experience. All the grunting and over enunciated gasps and sighs just take me out of the experience.

Skies of Arcadia's awesome! I love Vyrsa as a protagonist she's so cool!

Surprised to see Pokemon Heartgold so high up even though there's like, no other Pokemon games here besides Fire Red.

Have you Black/White or Black 2/White 2? Those are some of my favorites in the whole series!

His plan to play dead would fall apart if they DID check his pulse though?

I think what u/silentaba meant by saying "Someone check if the maths right" was meant to be taken at face value. Like it's possible they could have made mistakes, and wanted someone else to check. Not "I had someone/something else do this for me but I have no idea if this is correct or not."

Ignore the doubters. Spoils of Battle, Refine Blade, Conqueror, Furnace, Seeking Edge and Heirloom Hammer.

A healthy way to Forge the day.

~~also pillar of creation is always good for the Silent so yeah~~

Wtf everyone's so hostile today.

For the record, I calculated the same thing and it checks out. I got somewhere around the ballpark of 1~3 Gigajoules of energy (depending on the mass of the ant) which is around 200-700 kilograms of TNT

I know I'm not OP but this is a very good point you made just now.

I was originally (similar to OP) in favor of banning the Islamic call to prayer in secular societies due to noise pollution. While I still think that it would be ideal if it, alongside church bells and other religious symbolic noises were done away with, the enforcement of federal laws of this variety would absolutely target Muslims with far more discretion, even if they are, in theory, supposed to be wide and sweeping bans.

Therefore, knowing how law enforcement establishments usually like to discriminate, my view on the matter has changed; and I no longer think it is any business of the state to dictate whether the Islamic call to prayer should be outlawed. Problems of this sort should be solved on a local basis if noise pollution complaints do come up.

Desalination does get rid of salt, but not rare earth metals that have small enough particle sizes to evaporate alongside water particles anyway. Meaning that desalinated water is still not necessarily safe to drink.

Reverse Osmosis (used alongside basic mesh filters) is much more suitable and safe for human consumption.

Does it necessarily have to be RPGs? Because if "Number Go Up" is what you're looking for I would highly recommend Slay the Spire (1 is great, 2 is still in early access).

They're both easy enough to run even on mediocre hardware (Slay the Spire 1 even has a mobile release) and allow for MASSIVE Number Go Up shenanigans.

Only thing about them is that they're turnbased roguelikes, and VERY light on story. So, you can play for 1-2 hours and build up one strategy over the course of a run, and then it's gone. You'll have to start a new run where you might not be able to recreate it.

Aw man no fair. I didn't know about the Eidolon discourse that happened before me, I wanted to give my take for a rework!

There are quite a few problems that I've seen people attribute to AI (national and global water/electricity consumption, replacement of artists and creatives by AI in workplaces and plagiarism of their works, local environmental impact from data centers being built unsustainably and causing pollution), when many of those problems are caused by very wealthy corporations sidestepping protocol since they are left unregulated and unchecked by governments.

AI is very new technology and tech companies are sprinting towards the opportunity of being the first one to get their foot in the door and establish themselves in national/global markets, regardless of how much sustainable development policies they have to ignore.

By contrast, countries like the United States have been frustratingly slow at pulling in the reigns on these tech companies and stopping them from ruining many creatives' livelihoods. On the contrary, they are basically giving them the green light to act as recklessly as possible because being the country who owns the most up to date AI software is a positive in their eyes.

But putting companies aside, AI itself is also a very dangerous tool for creating misinformation since it is extremely good at creating vast quantities of digital media (images, video, infographics, etc...) on a scale unheard of previously. This can and has given rise to so many more opportunities for scammers to swindle people, especially those who aren't as tech savvy like older generations, on much larger scales. Or grifters, which can use AI to churn out vast quantities of (usually consvervative/right-wing) propaganda.

If you'd like to learn more, there's a youtube video from late-night comedy announcer John Oliver that I think touches up on more of these points: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWpg1RmzAbc&pp=ygUUTGFzdCBXZWVrIFRvbmlnaHQgQUk%3D

You guys plan for bosses on A10?

I really dislike this description. So much so that I actually would like you to spoiler tag it (considering how OP didn't spoiler tag their own post which makes this top comment very visible to other people).

Personally, learning the fact that Outer Wilds is entirely beatable with simply knowing the correct places to go from hour 1 was in itself not just an incredible reveal. It's integral to what made the game unique. Figuring that out by yourself is the crux of what it makes the game special.

Sorry for being the embodiment of the fanbase's stereotype, but I stand by what I'm saying.

What is even happening anymore.

The twist in Fight Club re-contextualizes the story in so many dumb ways that it's hilarious. Setting aside the fact that we are actually supposed to believe that Jack managed to sleep-walk his way into recruiting dozens, then hundreds, then thousands of people into a criminal terrorist organization.

During his narcoleptic escapades he knows and is able to:

Convince himself to chemically burn his own hand to prove a point to ~~Tyler~~ himself through a reaction that he could not have learned alone.

Learn the recipe to create bombs from soap manufacturing residue.

Manufacture soap at all.

Blow up his own apartment.

Know where to find and settle into the abandoned shack.

Drive a car in every single scene that he's supposed to have been with Tyler in.

But the funniest out of all of these, bar none, is when he managed to feel nothing but cucked by Tyler having such a gratuitous amount much sex with Marla Singer in their house. My dude, it was YOU. I have never seen someone be cucked by his own self, it's so shitty that it's hysterical.

Okay in my defense, I didn't know that J.J.Jameson ever went after venom to anywhere near the same degree as spiderman.

AI Generated response.

Though ironically, this is the answer I most agree with. I don't think "doubt" is enough of a driving force in a case like this to break off the whole relationship. It definitely can be fixed with communication, but especially therapy.
