Wait… What do you mean with shouldn’t injest… I thought it was perfectly fine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito

Certainly they won’t use years of collected metadata from social networks about political sentiment, right? …right?

I am ok with having transactional vg relationships. I mean, if I could marry in factorio I would probably automate it and have an exponentially increasing number of partners.

Well, I listen to Shadowheart’s story and since I’m a warlock who pacted with an evil master just because I wanted to do cool tricks, I felt I shouldn’t judge. (Also she is a ride or die goth girl).

Though the frog lady is the best.

“Thank you for coming. It was nice of your friend to help us meet.”

" I was there. I was there 3000 years ago … when Isildur took the Ring. I was there the day the strength of men failed. I led Isildur into the heart of Mount Doom, where the Ring was forged, the one place It could be destroyed! It should have ended that day, but evil was allowed to endure. Isildur kept the ring. The line of kings is broken. There’s no strength left in the world of Men. They’re scattered, divided, leaderless."

“…o-kay. Would you like to share some entrées or … Let’s order some drinks first.”

You stole my words. Though mine had more expletives.

Every character is a DCL. The base game will be like $70. /s

I guess someone told Lang to Jack off elsewhere.

Exactly. How are we supposed to track him?

It’s like tex-mex, shrimp scampi, deep dish, etc… When a foreign cook tries to accommodate to their new home’s preferences and tastes with local ingredients, and then the recipe evolves locally, distancing from its origins.

More often than not, it makes no linguistic sense: scampi are small lobsters, salsa sauce is a repetition, and deep dish is just deliciously wrong.

Watch them birds and animals hanging around said lake.

Have you considered a drone at some point? (I don’t know if it is a feasible thing or it would just ensure birds never ever come around).

Yeah, that part ducks.

Being able to filter what works from what doesn’t is a great way of weeding out possible disappointments.

Corollary: All news are old news.

I wish though they were a bit more friendly towards Proton/Wine. Knowing what games are compatible and to what degree before purchasing them would make me happier.

I know nothing about philosophy, but the Absence of Myth is often a heavily discussed topic since last century, and iIrc there’s a school of thought that I adhere that says “if you take the gods from the hearts of men, they will make new ones*”.

The idea is that our brains are constantly trying to make sense of an otherwise chaotic world, and in doing so, we create (or adhere) to myth to help us keep being rational (and focus on the stuff that matters(?)).

So even those of us that don’t subscribe to organized religions still have some mythos going on. But I’m not educated enough to explain or understand well this point.

*e.g. technological progress, artificial intelligence (well mostly LLM bs.), nuclear era will save us all, internet era will save us all, new-age stuff, cosmology, predestination, if we upload our conscience to a computer = heaven, etc. etc.

EDIT: I forgot! One of the most common religious activities that we often don’t recognize is playing the lottery. It seems odd, but it is a communal activity solely based in faith that a better life is possible, and it is around the corner. But this is a faith-based activity, as anyone with some cursory statistics knowledge will tell you the odds are nought to nada.

I have often been split apart between telling someone or keeping the “lie”, as it seems it helps them keeping hope there is a better tomorrow.

If someone mentions their neighbor won the lottery, I would remind them the difference between empirical and anecdotal evidence.

[…] but science’s best guess is it’s where you were before you were born. Nowhere.

May I have a slightly different interpretation: Everywhere.

We are made from the same stuff the Sun is made, traveling together for eons. When we die, we just roll back to the matter is our planet.

And once it dies, we will travel again together through the stars.

I’m not sure if I want to be in a party with Pol Pot, Goebbels and Kissinger.
