I'm currently losing too much weight due to this and I'm trying to eat more meals, but yeah I'm worried I'll end up like everyone else struggling to eat less eventually :( feels like we can't win sometimes
Agreed - Brandon may not be the best at certain facets of writing, but he's nothing short of virtuosic when it comes to worldbuilding. The cosmere is a masterwork in this regard.
I realize this has terrible ramifications and indicates the depth of our irresponsibility etc etc, but this is one of the few silver linings to our current dilemma and I will fully allow myself to enjoy it
This is true, but it's not the only factor. Staying private allows a company to not be predatory, but it definitely does not guarantee it - it simply allows the executives to choose. It's the combination of Valve being private and Gaben always staying true to his values despite his incredible wealth that gave us Steam in its current form.
I've known plenty of private companies that were as shitty as a public one, or more. Quality executives are vanishingly rare, particularly at this level of company value.
The Sagrada Familia, yeah. It's... pretty big, they're hoping to finish it in the 2030s.
(Construction started in the 1800s though, maybe there's an even older one idk about?)
I mean, from an external perspective, that is actually pretty funny in a morbid, depressing sort of way.
I can't see how it's funny from their view though, seems a bit too on the nose. Maybe they're celebrating the extent to which they just don't give a fuck?
It used to be incredibly common, but popular speedrunning games now have mod teams monitoring the leaderboards, sometimes going to truly unbelieveable amounts of effort to prove a run was or was not cheated. It's actually pretty difficult to get away with it these days.
Thanks for the link to Tagger, I've been looking for something like that. Looks like I have some library cleanup to do, I've been putting it off for years now lmao
I was literally going to say crystal sage before I read your full post.
I've never once gotten through a DS3 run without dying several times to him, and I've probably played a dozen or more times. Even with the throwing knives cheese.

No, but those flying serpents have a chance of dropping one, allowing you to get it far earlier in the game than buying a rabbit does
Twins!

Hotline Miami is an all timer for sure

Cuphead, Cave Story, Celeste, Dredge, Furi, Katamari Damacy (and others in the series), Peggle, Super Mario Galaxy
Lol I hope so

That is beautiful.

Syphilis
In general maybe not, in these lemmy spaces absolutely.
I will be disappointed if it's not this guy
