The fire bombing of Tokyo killed more people than either of the atomic bombs. I don't pretend to know the right decision about the Bombs, but I know the casualty estimates for Operation Downfall included 400,000 US deaths and 5,000,000 Japanese deaths. I think I would have been hard-pressed not to make the same decision, whether it was right or wrong.

What features are available in vim that aren't in vscode? Genuine question, trying to decide if I should make the switch

I just saw the movie last night and felt the exact same way. I said the first 45 minutes were basically just eye candy for nerds lol. Going through all the famed scientists of that era whom we grew up revering.

He only used it as a masterbatorium after getting caught jerking off in public one too many times. When asked about it, he is quoted as replying "If only it were as easy to banish hunger by rubbing the belly."

If you read "Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity" as eugenics and genocide, I think you might be jumping the gun a bit based on personal biases. Population bottlenecks require you to be very careful about species-wide gene pools. In a population of 10,000, you don't want Cletus reproducing with his first cousin.

I just watched The Silo with Rebecca Ferguson and I liked it so much I picked up the book series. If you ever played any of the Fallout games, it basically follows a nuclear shelter/vault type thing who has forgotten why they went underground. Pretty good so far!

The only answer you ever get is "Closed: Marked as duplicate question."

Unfortunately it doesn't look like spoiler tags are working for me (I'm on voyager, formerly wefwef.) So I'll just spam spoiler and hope people see it lol.

:::Tons of equipment/vehicles were added in the DC that were super helpful earlier in the game. The transporter trike jumps out at me as being a game changer. Also they added that loop of road that goes through the mountains in the second map which was very helpful:::

Just finished my second play through a couple weeks ago, what an incredibly unique game. The balance system almost felt like a rhythm game to me, really makes me hope it inspires other similar games. This was my first time on directors cut, I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of bonus content. Definitely worth playing if it ever goes on a big sale or gamepass.

Yeah there's even very popular examples in recent history, the Lego movie series to name one. I haven't seen them, but I think the general consensus about them is positive. Hopefully studios look to this and see the the success in the vision of the film maker and the statement of the art, rather than in the commercial name recognition from a popular toy.

Was just about to go diving for them, thank you!
