Was gonna say, I didn't see any of the three chao boxes on that level, though they didn't go out of their way to get them since that wasn't the point of the demo.

But the Chao garden is the reason I occasionally revisit this game.

Yes.

The followup question is "how many people think getting their hands wet without soap is sufficient hand-washing" and the answer is not terribly comforting.

Humans have been drinking/cooking cows' milk for over ten thousand years. That's not the kind of worldwide cultural change you just snap your fingers and call it done.

Not to mention the food shortage it would cause to just get rid of one of the most common foods worldwide.

Went out for lunch and ordered WAY too much (I ordered the lunch special which I thought came with one entree, but instead got a lunch special AND an entree) so I'm skipping dinner today.

But lunch was a full serving of goat korma, plus small portions of dal, rice, tandoori chicken, some curry I don't remember, a samosa, rice, and naan. Ate till I was full and took home lots of leftovers.

Coincidentally, that will also be tomorrow's lunch ben😅

Well that's one of the sentences of all time.

For a similar reason that most coaches don't actually participate with the athletes they're training: their job is to watch the athletes, look for gaps in their technique, and help them to address those. You can't look for that as effectively if you're swimming alongside them compared to standing on the side of the pool.

But yeah, all "learn HOW to swim" lessons I've ever seen have the instructor in the water with the student, because they have to be like 25% teacher 75% lifeguard.

If a company is going bankrupt as a result of hosting a video service, they're not going to be able to afford to archive and make it available for download either.

There's a nice whiskey in my cabinet I haven't had occasion to pop open for a while...

I've never played but it looked interesting to me so I did some research. All of this is open to fact checks.

It's a sandbox game where you're on a space station* an have some specific job to do, to keep the station running (or sometimes, to cause a little chaos for other players to deal with). Some people are security, some are engineers, some are medical officers, some are cooks, all (or most) are trying to keep the station going. Sometimes they're an additional overarching goal, but usually it's just "survive the treacherous space climate".

It's not really an MMO because it's pretty small. "Massive" doesn't really apply. And it doesn't fit most tropes you'd associate with MMOs. There's not really a persistent world, the game happens in rounds rather than an always-on server. It seems kind of like Among Us meets Dwarf Fortress.

*The code is "semi open source" (read: got hacked and leaked a couple of times) so there are a many modded servers as vanilla (there seems to be some debate over what "vanilla" even means for this game). So they aren't always on a space station, but typically about maintaining SOME kind of colony.

Never heard of this game before, but it looks really cool. Gonna have to give it a shot and see what is all about.

Of any lie Biden has told in his campaign or presidency, this is one of the least concerning to me. It's a political witch hint that exists solely to make investigations into Trump and his family look like a witch hunt, because "everybody is doing it".

Biden said what he had to say while he/his party was on the campaign trail, but now it's time for reality to take over.
