gnome is broken but there are better DEs imo

The first nitrogen execution in the USA did not go well. And arguably the first nitrogen suicide pod they tried in Switzerland went even worse.

Back when I lived in North Edinburgh someone got shot at my local (Jock’s Lodge). They keep changing the name to try to distract from that colourful incident but all the locals stick to the original name. Nice place; friendly bar staff!

Same I think the monsters work better as museum pieces than threats

I have work friends but they are a different category from regular friends. I’m more inhibited around them (or at least try to be). At the end of the day your colleagues and you have got together to make money as opposed to socialise.

This is a FOSS game right? Been meaning to check it out.

The engine itself is clearly optimised to build fortnite and everything else needs to bend it to suit any other style of game.

You are paying with your time though

Classy

Yeah this makes sense to me. I’ve got queer friends who are in a hetero marriage with one another.

As an outsider it seemed more like they had an image problem than an issue with their concrete policies. Obviously it could be both but I got a sense people believed the dems were out of touch.

All day long?

Is it cheating to pick an immersive sim? Probably the original Bioshock. I know it was dumbed down from System Shock 2 (which I later played and enjoyed). But when I was a teenager and played it for the first time I was completely pulled into that world.

Similar but distinct runner up would go to Metroid Prime which my child brain found unbelievably immersive. It is exactly like what I’d imagine exploring an alien planet to feel like.

Honourable mention to Dark Souls 1 where the mythology feels simultaneously vague and fleshed out. Somehow the vagueness adds to the authenticity. Your actions mattering and killable NPCs also help.

I can recognise attractive men but haven’t ever really had a crush on one. French kissed one of my gay pals on his birthday like 10 years ago but that’s the limit of my experiences. Embarassingly vanilla!

In the UK there is a point between 100 and 125k where the tax levels of being in that region make it more financially prudent to do pension salary sacrifice or a similar scheme. You should still take the pay rise obviously.

Edit: To illustrate it I think the marginal tax rate jumos to ~60% or something like that between 100-124k. but then moves back down to 47% after you earn over 125k for some reason.

I think male chicks get treated worse than humans when they are identified at the factory farms

I enjoy how old your picks are for the more modern games too! HoMM3 is a stone cold classic.

Interesting experience. My partner who we suspect has ADHD always used to be up all night writing essays on the deadline in uni too.

Wishing death upon someone because they are a libertarian (or hold whatever other opinion you disagree with) is trashy

Was working at TK Max (TJ Max outside the UK) at the changing rooms as a part time job as a student. Supposed to be checking for defeated tags or people stealing.

Some dude came in and then rushed out a few moments later, casting the clothes into a basket and leaving the shop. I went to go check for defeated security tags and it turned out he’d masturbated in there and cum all over the walls.

Management showed no interest in pursuing the culprit and handed me a stack of paper towels. It occured to me that he’d probably been thinking about me cleaning it up when he cracked off, while I was cleaning it up. Pretty gross.

Finished my shift, went to the manager and told them I quit. In hindsight should have just left the moment I realised what happened.
