Imagine you're in LA and a small community of survivors has formed. All of them need to eat and drink. Each of them could fuck up (leave door open, get infected and hide it, etc.). You sit down to make a list of all the skills they have and after hearing "improv theater" for the tenth time you change your mind about OP.

Only chance was to catch something like this right as it was happening with a real time screening mechanism for anomalies like that. Now/later it'd be civil war inducing.

Even used the lever to do so.

Ah, the "if we don't do it someone else will"-defense. A classic.

NK soldiers will be volunteering for the war because they'd rather die with ~~freedom~~ porn than live without it.

20 seconds cat videos or two minute talk video are vastly different to 10mins to 4 hours youtube videos. The time “lost” by wathcing the wrong thing is just very different. I think it isn't uncommon for users to spend multiple hours per day watching those short clips only to realize most of it was mildly interesting at best and it's less likely someone sits through a 4h video they dont care about than someone watching 4h worth of a variety of short clips they don't really care for. Either way I think taking transparency/agency away from the user is terrible.

The goal is to make you click and anything that could stop you is considered a problem. I'd say it's a short term strategy that will lead to long term failure but I'm not sure anymore. Tiktok and Instagram are feeding their users a bunch of trash too and it still works.

is that a meme or did you accidentally butcher the term "ponzi scheme" which is something entirely different? not saying insurances aren't often a scam. just a different kind.

Musk pretending he cares about rail while in reality his worst recurring night mare is him being in public transport with poor people. Classic.

I for one appreciate that ubisoft chose the top down view of poop as their logo. it's the perfect symbol for everything they represent and they're incredibly brave for wearing it proudly on their chest.

 

As I sit here and wait in Q after running into an invisible wall and disconnecting I couldn't help but wonder why this is needed to play what is essentially a single player game. Right, it's because nobody buys horse armor if they can't show it off in some mmo-ish open world nobody asked for. At least that's my best guess. This is not just a whine thread though. I genuinely asked myself why I'm putting up with this and it's because the game has a ton of beauty and fun to it that's wrapped in annoying monetization and general greed driven fuckery. So as the artists and programmers are carrying a horde of greedy goblins on their backs, I'd like to remind you all to lift with your legs.

I know it's early but I'm very disappointed in the build variety of barbarians so far. It's shout builds only because anything else is too weak to compete. Even found the unique chain pull axe but giving up a shout on the bar is simply not worth it. Anyway with the start of the first season I'd like a class with some variety to play around with different builds. Any recommendations?
