Holy shit that would be brilliant....Andy as the assistant. It's basically been their schtick their entire career...fucking hell I wonder if anyone has ever actually approached them with it when they were trying the american version..
I'm not talking specifically about McDonalds.
Up here in Canada, One of our largest retail grocery chains has been under fire recently for those same practices. That's more what I'm referring to.
There is a limit to the amount prices can go up before people stop buying altogether.
Not when those items are necessities, like food. Damn us poor people and our need to...checks notes...eat.
We also have to remember that prior to 1917, in order to get their cooperation, The British and French promised various Arab states land and independence after the fall of the Ottomans. Only to THEN turn around and form the Sykes-Picot agreement divvying up the land amongst themselves. This is where the idea of a Zionist state first began to be discussed and various Arab groups were betrayed to make it happen.
I'm not saying terrorists aren't evil. But everything in the middle east is the result of "the west" fucking the people over there over for more than a hundred years.
Soooo....basically a Prius.
Doubtful. But that might actually be a good thing.
KSP is feature complete and has a massive modding community. I remember back in the old days when modders had to worry about every new update breaking their mods.
Players would have to wait for their mods to catch up before updating the game. And each new update usually required a new save.
The cowboy days of KSP.
Nowadays not having to worry about mods breaking is a huge relief.
Well written article. The comparison to child actors and the idea that social media kids have no "home" to go to because the camera is always there really makes a whole lot of sense.
TIL that Trump obviously doesn't know what "Deport" actually means...
I too miss Phillip Seymour Hoffman...
I don't think that's an "if" at all. I firmly believe that that's exactly it.
The same behaviours that we needed to evolve are harmful now that we've reached a potential "post-scarcity" stage.
To put it more bluntly, the drive to compete for resources in order to survive is what made us the dominant species. Now that post-scarcity is essentially upon us, our nature is to create artificial scarcity in order to satiate that drive for competition. And it will be the ultimate end of us.
One of my favourite games for the Genesis. It was my introduction to Shadowrun and to this day, I can't begin to describe how it moulded my conception of cyberpunk and my own writing as a result. It's one of three games that, in history, has legitimately changed my view of video games (Shadowrun for Genesis, Fallout 3, and XCom Enemy Unknown/Within)
Now, for your questions:
- You're not imagining the difficulty. I too recently tried playing it on an emulator and found it more difficult than I remember. I think it's because the slight lag on emulators between firing your pistol and it actually firing it is enough on the emulator that you simply can't win a fight. This (I'm guessing) is because of modern displays rather than old CRTs that it was designed for, kind of like jumping with Mario feels just a little bit different.
- It's pretty grindy in some respect. But that's kind of the reason that it felt so different to me back then. You're a Shadowrunner. You're doing jobs. Yes there's a quest, but it's one of the first games I remember where you could just ignore it for a while and punch a clock to go hack some corporation if you wanted to.
- Killing innocents is entirely up to you, Chummer.
- Samurai class is the all around'er. But I think Decker is the "canonical" way to play because decking is a fundamental part of the gameplay aesthetic.
I'm going to out myself as a horrible person here, but I find Rosie Jones painful to watch, for the obvious reason. I'll accept the downvotes, because I don't like that I feel that way. But it is what it is.
I have no issues with her disability. I'm sure she's a smart, funny, talented woman who just happens to have been dealt a shit hand. And she (and by extension anyone else suffering from her same condition) are strong and amazing people who live productive lives because of that and deserve all of my respect.
But watching her struggle to speak even the simplest sentence is just painfully bad television and I personally just accept the fact that I'm a somewhat terrible person who just can't subject myself to it without cringing.
