Were they outside where the sprinkler could hit them? I can't imagine they were killed by rainwater; I used to have a lot of carnivorous plants and rainwater was an ideal water source along with distilled water. If they were hit by the sprinkler though, that could kill them, especially if you have hard water.

What'd the Turkish guy do, aside from not wearing glasses and looking extremely casual?

I wonder how he'd look bald. I've always believed that a well-done Hitman series would give James Bond a run for their money. The catch is that it'd have to be self-parodying but presented without a hint of irony or humor.

A good hitman movie/TV show would swing from serious to absurd and back so hard you'd get whiplash

The councilman is just getting some of that Trussy

Basically nothing AAA as far as I'm aware. Only major AAA releases I've had any interest in are the Sega relaunches (JSR, Crazy Taxi, etc), but some of the rumors I've heard aren't good so I dunno how much hope I should put into it. Everything else is either indie or old console games.

Next they need custom player models.

Imagine if Flight Simulator 2024 ended up being the sleeper killer social app of the decade. How surreal would that be? Like, if you showed me that screenshot without context, I'd think I was looking at a new hitman or second life: third life or something.

Edit

"The way I think of this now, it really just comes down to, how good is the data we get, and how much are we throwing at it. I mean, for example, I'm currently on the, I call it the living world. We added hundreds of species of animals that run around. I worked on things like Zoo Tycoon…we have tons more animals than the native zoo game, and it's just a tiny little feature in Flight Simulator, but it feels like, oh yeah, we can do that.

"Right now, we have every ship on Earth, right? Every ship on Earth sends us a transponder signal… you can land on every ship, and it looks like a first person shooter environment. I think we're in a new era of making games that I think are going to break new ground, from a scale and complexity perspective."

Dude, what are you actually trying to make right now? Like, this isn't flight sim stuff anymore.

Wasn't the area considered part of Rome (aka Roman-occupied Israel) at the time? I didn't think "Palestine" came about until much later.

He also wouldn't have been considered Arabic as he was of Jewish descent (if I understand correctly, ethnic Jews supposedly follow a specific ancestry derived from Isaac's son, Jacob; you aren't ethnically Jewish unless you can reasonably trace your lineage back to Jacob or else someone who can).

Regardless though, it doesn't change the fact that Jesus was semitic (Jews and Arabs are both considered semitic) and probably fairly brown.

Welp, so much for the so-called pinnacle of masculinity.

I wonder how much it costs to buy an island in Sweden. Would be super chill to have your own island. Getting electricity, internet and plumbing might be difficult, and good luck if you have an emergency; but would be cool.

Edit: apparently you don't need to be a citizen of Sweden to buy land there. If you own land in Sweden, do you get an automatic visa allowing for permanent residency? If not, what's the point of allowing anyone to buy land if they don't automatically get a pass to live on that land?

sigh I looked at his Twitter and it's pretty standard right-wing politics. Maybe slightly more progressive than modern right-wingers, but still vomiting GOP propaganda.

My understanding of what's going on for people who are confused: she's playing the social "game" of "pretend I don't want the thing I actually want so I don't appear demanding and instead make the other person insist". Everett understandably finds that "game" annoying and basically tells her to go fuck herself for playing it.

Ironically it's actually kinda unintentionally progressive imo. He's basically forcing her to actually speak up and assert herself instead of playing the "make the man tell me to do" game.

It's kinda like how Japanese culture expects for you to deny a gift up to 3 times before accepting, but more gender-focused and misogynistic. Everett is basically saying "fuck that game, if you want the seat, take the seat; don't play games with me and waste my time."

Fake Internet points don't mean anything on Lemmy though. They don't conglomerate into a nice big number that you can look back on to feel better about yourself (you have no idea how hard artists are on themselves). You get them for a single post and then they vanish into the ether.
