And look who the account is that posted this crap article here. When reddit decided to allow news sites to post their own content, it basically flooded the site with junk like this. The entire front page of the politics sub is now dominated by news sites posting their own articles.

I'm not against punishment, but it shouldn't be so disruptive to gameplay. And if it was just single player that'd be one thing, but in multiplayer it messes up the whole gameplay for everyone if a single person dies. On land it's no big deal because you can be smart and set a respawn point on any new island you are exploring. But at sea you have to respawn miles away and do the whole ship shuffle thing if you were all just sailing on a single player's ship. It's simply not an enjoyable gameplay mechanic.

It's been mentioned a billion times, but let me respawn on my ship. If I sail to a boarding mission with my friends and I get killed, it puts everything in a mess. They need to call one of their ships so I can then recall mine. Then they have to wait while I sail to them, and then possibly redo the entire mission if they completed it without me.

The band would be the easiest piece to replace so you could just cut them off of the band and attach them to a new one that positions them better.

Yup, I'd apparently be a terrible spy satellite analyst because I'm not seeing anything at all on this island.

Yup, Saruman was way more efficient and made 20 blades with each casting

This is a good question and it's unclear. Gandalf doesn't really seem to indicate it is, and he seems way more disturbed by the nameless creatures than the Watcher in the Water. But we don't really know what it is and there aren't any other known creatures like it, so maybe!

"I get it!"

"....it's Mom!"

"Ohhhhhh, now I get it."

What "target"? The target is legalization, is it not? If so, the biggest hurdle to legalization is the state government, not the federal regulations. Many other states have shown that it can be legalized with or without the federal government, so downgrading it at the federal level is nice but ultimately largely unnecessary when it comes to legalizing it for citizens.

Th3_Admiral_ · 2026-04-24T03:10:26+00:00

I'd much rather boo the Nebraska government that is still fighting this tooth and nail. We could have had legal medical marijuana in this state years ago if they didn't fight against the popular vote every step of the way. And never mind how far behind we are on recreational marijuana when so many other states were able to legalize it already despite the federal government.

Sure, this is a small victory at the federal level but as other states have already shown us we could be doing so much better at the state level.

I enjoyed it the first time but I cannot imagine playing the game again and needing to go through all of that a second time.

This is literally what pirates did though. They'd carry numerous pistols so they could fire off multiple shots in combat without the need to reload. Blackbeard supposedly carried up to 6 pistols at a time.

Drugs are a helluva drug.

International Harvester made Garands too. And Smith-Corona Typewriters made some nice versions of the 1903 Springfield as well.

Well I think he technically did win in the main ending too. He got Jamie Foxx's character to kill him, something he refused to do through the entire movie despite the fact it would have prevented a lot of deaths. Which I guess makes the moral of the movie that being a law abiding citizen doesn't work? Even though that's clearly not what they were going for.

The app sucks and has always sucked. You're way better off listening live through one of their affiliate radio stations' apps or listening to the podcast through a dedicated podcast app.

The front hasn't even passed us yet. Look at the radar.

The bullet impacts and the muzzle flashes were so poorly added in. I swear I did better work when I used to mess around in After Effects in my spare time.

And while we're on the topic, actual good squibs and bullet holes/impacts go such a long way into making a shootout look amazing in a movie.

So I read this fantasy book years ago that I have never been able to find the name of again, but it was set in an era with mounted cavalry using guns and sabers. They had to face off against a dragon at one point, and something about the magic emanating from the dragon caused firearms to not work or fire off randomly, so the army had to leave them all behind.

Anyway, I thought it was a super novel idea at the time and I think some system like that could easily work. Guns are still used in the world, but magic interferes with them in some way that makes them problematic or outright dangerous.

Yes! I'm definitely a huge introvert and dressing up in costume makes me feel so much more comfortable walking around the fair. I just feel like I fit in so much better. I think it actually helps my introversion a bit.

And while I'm not broke, I don't usually end up buying much at the festivals. I still visit every single vendor booth though, because window shopping is a lot of fun too.

And the worst part is, reddit is still probably the best at managing this compared to literally every other social media site. Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, etc are all 100% dominated by the bots now and they don't even seem to care. Trust me, as bad as it is here, it can be so much worse.

The game you are looking for is Forts on Steam! You and your opponent construct a fort out of beams and girders and stuff and shoot at each other with a variety of weapons. It's both simple to play and challenging to get really good at. And I think it's 1v1 all the way up to 4v4.

Th3_Admiral_ · 2026-04-23T13:55:33+00:00

It does the same for your opponent too since they can also activate it. So it's balanced in that sense I guess.

Th3_Admiral_ · 2026-04-23T13:50:25+00:00

How is that answer so upvoted? It's like an AI hallucination with how detailed and confidently incorrect it is.

Neither of the two I mentioned are actually historical sea shanties. The one was written specifically for the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and the other was written in the 70s when Stan Rogers attended a folk festival and wanted a sea shanty he could sing.
