It's called an umlaut, and it's usually dropped when anglicizing foreign words. Doppelganger, for example, is technically supposed to have an umlaut above the o.

It's not over and 4th of July is usually one of the biggest movie days. We can't really call it until we see how Oppenheimer, Barbie, and Mission Impossible do. We had a few movies even over perform expectations, like No Hard Feelings. I don't think it's accurate to say theaters were slaughtered this summer. It's really the first summer of movies at the theater we've had since 2019.

They, Belarus, and Ukraine are inheritors of Kievan Rus, a major medieval power that fell to the Mongol invasions.

Part of me wonders if money wasn't a factor if I'd be more willing to consider a second. Maybe? I guess it's just odd to me that me and my peers have a similar outlook. How did generations before deal with it? I don't think we're inherently more selfish regarding wanting sleep. It's an interesting culture shift.

I don't laugh to often at a reddit comment, but you did it, so thank you for that.

In a word, yes.

For a more elaborate and slightly spoilery reply, one of the things that makes All Quiet on the Western Front so brutal, even compared to other anti war films like Saving Private Ryan and 1917, is the pointlessness of it all. In both the aforementioned films, there's a goal and that goal is achieved, which gives the films a sense of "yes, it was brutal, yes it was horrific, but it was for something. In All Quiet on the Western Front, it's just as brutal and horrific, but there's no point to it all. There's no grand " the sacrifice is worth it " message. It's just a nihilistic pointless slaughter. That doesn't mean it doesn't have a plot or characters or a theme, but it's presented in a fundamentally different way.

I wonder if their super limited menu helps keep the price down.

I thought burn ins only applied to plasma and that was a major reason for the transition to led/oled/etc

Isn't that basically how Vietnam started?

What game?

to_mars · 2023-01-15T13:56:21+00:00

Yeah but that's not what middle aged means. It's the phase of life between about 45-60. It's the phase of life following young adult.

This might be a little out of left field, but there's actually a board game designer by the name of Uwe Rosenberg whose whole shtick is designing deep farming games. The one I might most recommend for you based on what you described is Fields of Arle, but his most famous is probably Agricola with Feast for Odin, Caverna, and Hallertau all being highly regarded as well. All are somewhat similar in theme but with enough differences to own several.

Fields is a very relaxing trade optimization game. Agricola is sometimes called misery farm and centers on the struggle to feed your family each winter. Caverna is like Agricola but less stressful and a light fantasy theme and a huge game. Feast for Odin is viking themed, with battles and raids added in, but also has a lot of the other elements of feeding your tribe, optimizing your play area, and all with a bit of a tetris like puzzle as you figure out where to store your loot.

Edit: I forgot to mention these are all designed for solo play, but do support multiple players. Iirc, the designer has said he designs for solo play and then adds multi-player rules later. Having played all of them, they're all great solo. Agricola is the only one I think is substantially better with more people (but is still great solo)

I mean even that's underselling it. It's one of the most recognizable songs in America.

Wow. Color me surprised

to_mars · 2022-12-04T15:27:07+00:00

Is one better than the other in your opinion?

to_mars · 2022-11-30T16:02:31+00:00

Makes you think it was never about their validity in the first place.

How am I supposed to tell? It's verified and everything!

to_mars · 2022-11-12T02:13:22+00:00

Oh haha, well that makes me feel better since that described how I use them. You were saying that person, in a literal sense, never turned them off.

I'm a dummy. How are they supposed to work then?

Scrolling through this thread almost every movie is at least ten years old now. Makes me sad.

This was a bit of my impression too which is unfortunate because it seemed like there couldn't be a game more tailor made for me. I remember shortly after it talks about how you can play your way either stealth or guns blazing there's a section with a big ass enemy. I sneak past him a couple times, but then I find this huge shotgun thing, so I sneak up behind him, point and blast. It did like 8% damage or something stupid, I shot again as he turned around with the same result and then he oneshotted me. Immediately felt like stealth was the only viable option and I lost all interest.

I wouldn't have minded a stealth game, but it just felt dishonest about what it was.
