people liking one game in the genre is a very poor predictor of whether they’ll like another one

I love survival/building games, and so do most of my friends. Even the terrible ones are usually fun. So I’d posit that it’s the opposite with a caveat: liking one for more than its story means you’ll enjoy the others.

I think it’s more indicative of games/hobbies as a whole than the survival genre specifically. People who love the adrenaline of a motorcycle may not enjoy the thrill of going down a mile high mountain on two thin sticks, IF it was the rumble of the engine beneath them that they actually enjoyed. If it was the rush of the speed though (or in the case of survival/building games, the exploration and struggle to stay alive and not lose your stuff), then they’ll likely enjoy the other adrenaline sports.

It’s horror in the sense that Bioshock was horror, but much less so. There are some areas with ‘tension’ that you pretty quickly become accustomed to, just as you would in a game where there is a ‘progression’ of areas where each area you move into is quite difficult at first until you get the resources and build the new items from that area.

It would make sense for it to be canon in the subnautica universe. I think they were pretty much the epitome of authors with an anvil with the references to economics and governing.

This isn’t paying to see a concert, play, or musical. This is buying a book for amazon’s e-reader, and them not allowing you to read the book anymore when they put out the book’s sequel.

Only two weeks? I want my money back for that love potion.

I don’t think it was even anything to do with being ‘libertarian.’ His dad was a cop. He had likely been indoctrinated since birth into thinking that criminals do crime because they’re bad, and would stop doing crime if the punishments were bad enough / a certainty. He’s obviously self-masturbating by telling himself how much good he’s doing for society, much like a very certain type of government worker we all deride tells themself…

Jesus. That’s going to cost you a lot more than you think it should. Prize bull semen doses can go for thousands, and if I remember correctly, prize winning horses are going to be about the same.

I just went and looked it up. Page 43 lists them from a little under a thousand euros to nearly two thousand. I didn’t bother reading through all the terms and conditions, but maybe you could convince them to not charge you the foal fee since, well, you degenerates aren’t buying this for horse breeding purposes…

Anyway, a quick search found a hilariously bad SEO website that looks good enough for me. 30-100 milliliters sounds like you’re going to need minimum 40 emissions worth. And I bet you’re not getting a full load from the supplier, just enough for your highly paid vet to do IVF, so I’m betting we’ll be buying about 150 doses or so.

I can see trump believing something so stupid as that, and putin might saber rattle about it, but the majority of the world, and china/india especially in this situation, probably would not go along with it. Europe still has functioning nuclear capabilities. Putin does not want nukes hitting his country, full stop. China does not want a nuclear situation kicking off with their neighbor to the north, and knows that the US under trump would likely turn on them despite a war ruining both countries. India no more wants china controlling the waters to their east than the countries immediately around those waters do, and would likely cause issues, which china also doesn’t want. As we’ve seen in the modern times with ukraine and some of the middle east conflicts and the india/pakistan border, nuclear powers tiptoe around anything that resembles direct conflict. The recent dogfight over the border was a pretty good idea of how reserved even ‘open’ conflict is.

So putin is likely not going to do anything more than a symbolic grunt at his western border, and china will just slowly weather down taiwan if the u.s. is withdrawing its influence. The idea of reunification isn’t THAT taboo in taiwan, and the candidates for it gather a decent chunk of votes. If the u.s. starts acting like a bitch around the world (oh, gee, just look at what’s happening right now), the sentiment towards it and china could easily see a rapid shift.

Less if you replace your tongue with a snail’s radula.

Fucking cream with berry liqueur flavors are always on top.

“Sounds like a problem for someone else to solve”

-coprophiliac enablers everywhere

I’m pretty sure many of the ‘upscale casual’ fast food restaurants sell them. I know I’ve seen them at several of the ‘bakery themed’ ones.

Why would I suck the ice cream? Ya’ll telling me you can’t like the ice cream fast enough to prevent it from melting?

You might be mashing it in your memories with the super crispy / sugar coated / super thin waffle cones you get at something like a creamery store in an outlet mall? Those would snap like a crisp chip with a book dropped on it if you dropped them.

Yuck. It shouldn’t even be called chocolate. How they got permission to call it chocolate is beyond me, but I bet it involved copious bribing.

Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me!

And in the US, jail can be up to just short of a year.

I’d like to point out, ‘proper’ jail, for misdemeanor level offenses, is ‘up to a year,’ but I personally know individuals who have been in jail (where people awaiting trial stay, in addition to people convicted of misdemeanors) for over three years now, still waiting on their trial.

Wait… isn’t ~1,000 per 100,000 much closer to 1% than 2%?

It’s still mind boggling, not trying to minimize it.

I once thought the females of the species had one opening for both. Growing up on a farm means you have some wicked advanced knowledge compared to other kids your age, but can introduce some really hilarious beliefs…

I never thought about why I thought women were more like our chickens than our horses/cows, but eh, some things just pan out.

Blowing bubbles is always the first thing I taught kids when they were learning to swim.
