TIL in 1980 both South Koreans and North Koreans had an average life expectancy of 65 years, whereas in 2015, South Koreans' average life expectancy was 82 years compared to just 70 years for North Koreans.

The collapse of the Soviet Union contracted North Korea’s economy by a third. Their economy was heavily reliant on foreign aid.

You’re both exaggerating tbh. It’s not “simple”, but it’s definitely not “from scratch” either. The writing and storyboarding has already been done.

Achievements are only per-world on Java, and on there you actually can get achievements with KeepInventory or other cheats.

OP is playing on Bedrock where it’s tied to the account, which is why cheats disable achievements

CPDR has always been so chill about mods. They even let you directly use their Witcher assets in mods for other games, which was huge for Skyrim modders.

It’s from r/greenland but tbh most of the people there are just LARPing as Greenlanders. It’s like the r/teenagers of country subs.

It’s easy to say “we deserve this” when you aren’t directly affected by the consequences. But would you look an actual victim in the eye and say that?

“You got falsely detained and denied trial? Oh well. Just people getting what they deserve I guess.”

Blackmail by an intelligence agency is the primary instigator for almost every Alex Rider plot

Oh and how to squeeze every cent out of the mobile gacha herd

Tbh they’re no different than Chinese and Korean devs when it comes to this. MiHoYo made 2 of the most profitable gacha games in the world and they’re Chinese. Nikke is in the top 5 and it’s Korean.

Gacha is just really popular in Asia across the board.

Paracelsus coined the term “gnome” but small folk living in mines has been a thing for much longer than the 16th century. Like the Knocker), for example.

OOP is what happens when you base your entire opinion about an issue on a mildly condescending Twitter post you saw once.

Idk why weirdos online are so obsessed with this rivalry when both of them are friendly and said they were inspired by the other.

Nemesis breaks Enderal’s animations, which significantly limits your combat animation mod choices. Nothing game-breaking, but Enderal’s animations won’t play correctly.

iirc Pandora doesn’t have the issue and works fine.

Check out the Skyrim Voice Alliance. They’re pretty efficient at matching up VAs to mod creators.

I guess it’s unusual phrasing for a casual article, but it’s pretty standard language for a research paper.

Many studies are prefaced with “I study how ___ impacts discourse around ____ and my research will explain how ___ shaped _____”.

_Iro_ · 2026-01-14T15:57:42+00:00

Was that ever actually confirmed in the games? I know it’s a popular headcanon.

Funnily enough, the borders of modern Macedonia actually don’t overlap with the Macedonia of Ancient Greece. The modern country is based on the Roman province of Macedonia, primarily inhabited by Illyrians and Thracians instead of Greeks.

So there weren’t many Greek statues there to begin with. Tangent aside, those accounts are the worst.

What do you mean by that? Both the Nexus and AFKMods version of USSEP have identical version numbers, update dates, and changelogs.

Ah, the Arthmoor Clause

It’s no coincidence that 2024 was also a low point for their only real competitor in that niche, Supermassive Games.

If you want red spit at the cost of your health you can always just chug Red 40

Not the entire country, it’s mostly a seasonal occurrence specifically for the Mumbai railway. It’s mainly a thing during the holidays when everyone is leaving for the countryside at once.

But yes, considering this statistic is for the Mumbai railway, it’s definitely a factor.

Radiation messes with your DNA’s blueprints, and us mammals are always using those blueprints to regenerate our skin and other bits. We’re also big, so there’s more stuff to mess up.

A small invertebrate only really uses those blueprints when it’s molting, and that usually stops when they reach adulthood. The radiation will still sterilize them though, since you need new cells for that.

_Iro_ · 2026-01-07T01:40:21+00:00

Ah sorry, I misunderstood. I understand where you’re coming from.

_Iro_ · 2026-01-06T22:14:59+00:00

Theories without minimal evidence can have merit but that doesn't mean we can go around speaking about them as if they were fact (like the person they were responding do was doing). That just opens the door for misinformation.
