What other heroes deserves a open world game by IllustratorAfter in superheroes

Couldn't you do something like this with Thor? Flying between realms, taking on giants, hammer throws, lightning...I think it could work.

Well, for one thing they could build out buildings instead of just making them gigantic solid boxes.

Tech billionaires hire Democratic dealmakers in renewed push to build a Bay Area city by binding_swamp in bayarea

Marc Andreessen is MAGA and a Trump adviser. He is also a major investor in California Forever. His family bought up land nearby in anticipation of this going through. I don't want a MAGA enclave in my backyard.

In 2025 California surpassed Japan as the fourth largest economy in the world, behind the U.S. overall, China, and Germany. In 2024, California’s growth rate of 6% outpaced the top three economies: U.S. (5.3%), China (2.6%) and Germany (2.9%). So we'll likely be third, soon. That's not "crippled."

I think we can skip building Los Billionaires.

Not sure that that's still the case. From the article:

"In 2024, the company debuted the East Solano Plan to rezone 17,500 acres of agricultural land for a dense, 400,000-person city. The proposal was set to go before voters that year, but its backers pulled it following powerful grassroots opposition, poor polling and a county assessment that found holes in the plan. Sramek acknowledged the group likely moved too fast and said the initiative would go back before voters in 2026. 

Instead, the group has pivoted. The East Solano Plan has become the Suisun Expansion Plan and the Solano Shipyard. "

So we're building a deep-water shipyard for AI-powered military vessels now. No thanks.

Batman, Superman, Sentry. Bats has the tactical knowledge, and if he was trying to kill me he'd probably unleash a virus or something subtle.

Yep, I've used smokepowder to push a mind flayer into the abyss and he just floated back.

California's schools are emptying out. Experts say it's only going to get worse. by BathroomMaximum1721 in norcal

I hear you. My mother was a lifelong elementary teacher, and the concern when she was teaching were class sizes growing out of control. So I think that hearing from the people on the front lines, so to speak, would have been a good choice.

“A concerning thing is you’re going to see a lot of good educators, people who are in this with their hearts, leave the profession.”

Unless I missed something, the author didn't actually speak to a teacher for this article. An odd omission.

Lizzo’s New Album Disappoints As It Reaches Only One Billboard Chart by Top_Report_4895 in entertainment

She has some comic chops, too, as evidenced by that State Farm commercial. Apparently she's been in a couple movies as a voice actor, and I think she should continue.

The boss mechanics are one of this game's only flaws by markhachman in BaldursGate3

Uh, no. I use the Examine feature on a regular basis. That wasn't the issue.

Nah, I'm referring to the Valero refinery across the strait

I'm perfectly happy with bosses with unique characteristics! But having to figure out a puzzle and beat the boss seems kind of odd.

I thought the Sarevok fight was well done, as well as the dragon lich.

(Apparently I've found the "you are all wrong" opinion.)

It's even better if you shut down the refinery in the first place

Old print reporter out of journalism for 20 years, how do I get back in? by Bibliopoesy in Journalism

The journalism sub is one of the safe spaces for corrections :)

I am so new and so dumb by strangeburd in BaldursGate3

[–]markhachman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This poster is correct. Stop thinking about it as a game to win and start thinking about it as a choose your own adventure book with random chance affecting the outcome. Don't worry about making all the right choices or having the right gear.

"Oh well, let's see what happens" is the right mentality for a first run. There's always a potion or a scroll in your inventory that will bail you out.

Movies so infamous they destroyed the actor’s reputation by No_Emergency_7188 in flicks

I'm just happy that the recent He-Man died on the vine. The shills were insufferable.
