Even if it is a monopoly, it’s not the one I would start with.

It had me in the wrong trail

Aenema - Tool, the whole album. Came into my life just at the time I needed it and helped me come to new conclusions about religion and society.

I feel like this is malicious compliance on the part of the designer they asked to do this

Have you tried Inscryption

A Traitor Tax

Hey I’m curious for more details

Is there a commandment he hasn’t broken

Ha that’s a good way to put it. Explains my experience pretty well

This is what I think too. Our perception of continuity is not the same as our actual consciousness.

It’s mind boggling to actually consider deeply and we may never actually know the truth to it since it’s all so subjective anyway. But it is fun to think about.

Seems like a good time to drop back in. I haven’t played in a couple years.

I saw posted elsewhere:

"The U.S. and Israel bombed Ahmadinejad to free Ahmadinejad but the plan failed after Ahmadinejad did not enjoy being bombed as much as he thought he would. Meanwhile, the Kentucky 6th district has deposed its representative due to his opposition to pedophilia.

Sure. Fine. Whatever. I give up.”

Keeping them alive usually ends just as badly for them anyway

Wow a dad joke and a Tool reference in the same XKCD, it’s like it was made for me

Playing Nightreign still! Maybe some Elden Ring with the seamless mod too.

I think for new players it’s the new mechanics that aren’t explained very well in the game like for me the dodge rolling. When I first played Dark Souls I didn’t realize how that worked. When I finally figured out iframes it opened up the whole game for me.

I do like these kind of obscure and complicated mechanics because it makes the game more interesting as you figure it out and learn at all, but it is a major obstacle for new players.

I like this!

I would also like it if maybe the journey and ending made a little more sense. I think it’s great that the world has a obscure background. It feels more like reality - the things happening around you, other characters coming in and out, it feels realistic. But when you don’t really understand what you’re doing or what the you’ve accomplished, I don’t know. When everything’s vague then it leaves it feeling sort of unrewarding and unfinished.

Israel made great efforts to expand their soft power into Eurovision these last years. Political actors, especially authoritarians, understand that culture is political power and wield it like any other weapon of influence.

Depending on a belligerent neighbor for energy part two

Let’s be real, the speed at which Apple TV releases shows it could last into the 2060s
