Funny, that.. you’ll be shocked by the reason!

This reminds me of a minor plot point from “if I pay thee not in gold”, a book I read many many years ago that helped form some of my moral framework. Imho, go read it, it isn’t -that good- as it’s rather superficial and they could have done a fuckton of more interesting shit with the way that universe works, but it also isn’t that long; couple hundred pages in big font like my copy, and it’s about women with magic! But only conjuration magic. And only women, for very specific, logical, and understandable plot reasons that don’t make a person want to hurl! And it’s largely about personal growth due to sex with demons!
Anyway, because they can conjure things and then dismiss them at will, the poor quarters bars are all conjured alcohol, so if any problems arise they can instantly sober up their patrons.
In hell you use a tv remote with a gyro pointer and on-screen keyboard. And it has a slight, but random, delay.
How do I know this is torture? My partner has one and because it feeds through multiple devices, it has a slight but random delay. And it’s the most frustrating experience of all time. Souls-like games on nightmare are likely less frustrating (and this comes from someone who can’t finish any of them on the lowest difficulty).
I’d go see movies in theaters, but they are too everything for my tastes, for just a movie. And movies haven’t been very good for like a while, so the movie itself isn’t enough of a draw anymore.
Too cold, too loud, too many people, too sticky, too expensive, and too far of a drive.
I used to live near a theater that had a bar and restaurant, and each seat had a table and a little light for placing orders during the movie. It was a great way to spend the afternoon, because the movie tickets themselves were fairly cheap; the draw was the food and alcohol. So we’d get a group of people together and go sit through 3-4 movies in a day, pigging out sharing food and talking between screenings (they only had two screens, and played a variety of stuff). That was worth it.
I feel like the sky islands were meant to be more of a problem-solving adventure, like how to get to certain places that are quite far, but the crafting system was so complicated/poorly implemented, imho, that it made them into a giant pain in the ass.
I ended up just making a platform hot air balloon (three balloons, three pieces of wood, and a fire weapon to light them), and using that for vertical.. was the only thing I could get working consistently that didn’t cost a lot of batteries and flame spitters and shit. That plus the gust ability when you’ve reached as high as the game lets you.. helps a lot..
My chipmunk bladder would like to have a word with your claim that the trips slow down over time..
If left alone, it grows unimaginably large and towering, imposing, shading out smaller things that are useful for diversity and overall system integrity. The only option to prevent the overgrowth and strangulation of positive things is to constantly prune the apathy back before it gets too big. A truly sisyphean undertaking.
I think of it like rain forest canopy trees.
I feel like the solution to this is more Luigi, tbh.
People would be less selfish if they didn’t feel so hopeless.
Buy some decent, quiet, pc fans and sew a wrap-around sheet, with holes at the foot end just for the small fans to nestle into. The idea is you lay on the bottom part, the top part is over you with whatever other light blankets, and the fans are by your feet, ideally one for each side with an on/off switch. They blow cool air into the sheets and help evaporate moisture. It’s the same idea as a lot of very expensive machines.
Build a small frame to securely hold the fans, ensure no obstructions, and hold the end of the airflow sheet, put the power supply somewhere far away, and you’ve basically built a $400+ cooling bed.
What pieces do I need to build this?
Color doesn’t matter just tell me the bits plz.
Mmm I can’t wait to see the unintended consequences of that backpedaling.
God I hope there are some..
Idk man, as a science communicator, I watched it and thought it sucked. I know enough about any science field to explain to laypeople, but not enough to properly engage experts usually. I try, but my specialty is breadth, not depth.
It’s not a bad show per se, but it’s a bad show, imho, as far as normal human motivations are concerned. Who gets their shit handled and still risks their whole family's shit? Like maybe it’s just me but that’s stupid and hard to believe.
