Might have the big dumb
10 years ago was like back when hallowed armor was endgame and mech bosses were the last bit?
There’s so much more content now that honestly makes the entire progression completely different
Theres also a wealth of mods now that acts functionally as a whole new game as well (calamity being the biggest one)
Ngl the blue eyes white dragon costume is pretty cool
Too bad the kid is not matching as kaiba
Its beef. Traditional way of pho is having beef slices that are cooked by pouring hot broth over it. It’s like having a medium rare steak. The pink doesn’t mean its unsafe to eat. I’ve eaten pho my entire life and unfortunately I’m still alive and kicking
At least it does mean your cat can never turn off your pc ever again with this
If it helps, I also use borked and gg in everyday life
Though I guess only because my friend group plays a lot of games so its a very familiar term
I mean when the choice is either facism or democracy, I’d assume being unbiased is a little hard. After all, the nazis did attack the press first to instill propaganda.
Apple users would be far more likely to pay big money for a wireless charging pad and mouse combo like logitechs though. Sounds like an easy pitch imo.
Here’s an archive link because paywall
Depends on the desalination method. If there’s no added chemicals, or if they removed them prior, I’d assume it’s feasible. After all, ancient times used to just evaporate seawater and get salt from it.
It might just be an economic problem. Questions such as where are you going to get land for creating huge evaporation pools, is it worth the yield of table salt, etc.
Just one short trip… I just need a bit of nickel
> ends up exploring the entire lost river and inactive lava zone for it
Those are the exact brine lakes I talked about that exist in the bottom of the ocean.
Brine is too dense to be above seawater. They accumulate in the bottom, creating essentially small pockets that kills almost every normal life. Only extremophiles live near it, and even then its usually just surrounding the edges of the lake.
You also can’t exactly guarantee that the brine you make ends up here. They are in the bottom of the ocean, not exactly a place you can pump brine to.
Are there any brine reservoir in the ocean? That doesn’t seem to be a thing. It either mixes properly with the ocean if proper mechanisms are set or it just ends up sinking to the bottom of the ocean and killing everything there.
There’s storage inland, but that also has its own problems.
Nuclear waste in the ocean follows a similar idea (although larger in scope). You can’t just dump it and be done. You have to create a plan to slowly release it (over decades) to (hopefully) not adversely affect life
Salinity doesn’t really work like that. You can’t just dump a bunch of brine and expect it to just mix with the rest of the seawater. A lot of that depends on temperature, currents, etc. You might just end up forming a brine lake in the ocean if the brine just so happens to end up at the bottom without ever mixing. Not to mention brine isn’t always just concentrated salt and water. It can include byproducts from desalination.

I dont think you would like what comes after societal collapse. It’s easy to pin society as just capitalism, but collapse will mean more than just the economic system. Democracies will collapse and entire regions will cease to exist. Food scarcity and mass migration will result in extreme regimes that will defend their territory, and a bunch of nomads who have to live with the constant worry of where the next food and freshwater source is. Not to mention the constant fighting over geopolitical issues (imagine current day scaled up exponentially)
Yes, we should fix our economic system, but societal collapse is not an end result we ever want.
Thats not really the scenario I was referring to. There’s the scenario where people decide to just give up, grief, and make people waste as much time as possible.
I will say that in your scenario, you should also look at it in your teammates perspective. Your own intentions might be purely that you want to play it out to its fullest. Maybe you see a win condition. The issue is that your teammates don’t share that view. It could be that you are the only one doing good in that game. Your teammates are not having fun. They dont see the same wincon you see. And at the end of the day, if that one match isn’t fun for them, could you really blame them for wanting to surrender? There’s not really a clear right and wrong in that situation.
Oh, ranking system in video games is a whole other beast to tackle. It’s a both pro and con game design. Games want to promote people perfecting the game and bringing competitiveness in the sphere. That’s not inherently a bad thing. Even in non ranked games, if theres a way to compete people will naturally aim to be the best. There’s just a lot of issues that come with it as well.
Visual rank is hard. For one, it’s a medal to reward the player. Just like physical sports, winning a medal feels good. It’s an accomplishment that really boosts the feeling of competitiveness in a sport. On the other hand, visual rank in games can be used as a way to put people down. “Oh you’re only _ rank” and all that. Not really easily solvable, considering how many games that have a ranked system. It’s one of the fundamentals of the system that couples everything together.
Yea valve has been pushing for punishing bad behavior, which is good on them (I remember the coal incident). It’s still a complicated task, but at least they’re trying things that seem to stick rather than riot (like them trying to change certain pings to be party only which was really stupid)
I guess my phrasing is a bit off, sorry. They’ve tried to address it. It just hasn’t worked that well (for example, they decided to add a bait ping that looked like a fishing hook, but players decided it was used moreso as a noose). The community is still as toxic as ever. Nothing’s really going to change other than some more banned words and maybe some changes to how pinging works (which is another toxicity problem)
“I hope europe yourself” is the exact phrase I heard
Guess I shouldve given context, it is a bit harder to see out of context haha
260 C is 500 F, so its rated for above hair iron temps
