I really like the idea of not being the powerhouse on the battlefield, but the difficult thing will be to make it fun and also give you a progression, where you are not just the tank at the end again. The player needs to be the smart little weasel between the hyenas and not just the lion.

The trailers till now already established a great atmosphere, let’s just hope they can also make a great game fitting to the visuals.

Shouldn’t the mod only affect what you yourself see? So in principle if SquareEnix doesn’t host the mod content, it shouldn’t be their legality, right?

I never considered it, but you are perfectly right. Prometheus was the first pirate and anti copyright activist! That makes me like him even more.

That might be for sure. Drugs are a bit different for everyone.

I meant it in connection that LSD is a hallucinogen, often regarding geometric forms and can make you see or rather feel connections between formerly unrelated things. Additionally it changes the feeling of time and space. All those are related to Gorogoa as well.

Both from Germany:

I remember that in my high school time many in my year went to plasma donation as often as it was allowed to collect the compensation. So while you are right that is legally never called payment, people with a need for cash for sure sell their plasma for money.

Oh and in the public sector there is or at least was in the past also the possibility for donating blood and you get the 2 hours or so for that paid as normal. So the government donated the money for a good course.

They didn’t say that, but the other commenter still speaks about a point that also caught my eye:

It doesn’t matter if donating blood or plasma is able to be longer stored. When you need one of them, you can’t substitute with the other. So the medical area still needs both. So you still need people donating both. If a medical institution is telling me they only collect plasma, I would question their motives, because both are needed for helping people.

Maybe the donating place just gave the short explanation and they meant, that for blood donations there are other better places, but it could also mean, they don’t earn enough money with that. And THAT is I think what the other commenter meant with their admittedly short comment.

Even worse, this is in Würzburg, so in Germany. We don’t even have suburban areas as bad as the USA. In fact, to the left of the picture is a sign for a public transport stop. Still, Germany is strongly controlled by the car lobby.

And? Nearly everything is a self inflicted problem. You could just lay down and stop bothering, so why don’t you do that?

Do I like long nails? Hell no. Does it affect me if somebody buys this keyboard to type and have long nails? Also hell no.

You do you, but now you know to not do it around other people. If you harm yourself knowingly, that is your choice. Same as with drugs.

Yeah, that was a strange moment. Those in the company being for Altman, I can understand. They expected big returns of investment from keeping him around. But the outsiders on the internet cheering him on? Felt like Elon Musk in the beginning again. And yes I also fell for his engineer persona in the beginning. But I learned from that.

Didn’t know that the KKK considered Haiti part of the USA. Since they specifically named them as not foreigners.

Yeah yeah, I know that it’s just them being dumb, but it still gives me amusement how dumb they are.

Worst part about internet communities is people still not understanding that no matter how dumb a thing is, there is always at least one without the knowledge who will try it themselves. Not everybody has the needed education, so what harm is there in writing a comment specifically mentioning and explaining the problem.

Yeah, I really enjoyed Life Is Strange. The music and atmosphere is wonderful.

Your basic premise is wrong. Punk is not about being counter to mainstream, that was just the appeal for many. Punk is about tearing down hierarchical power structures. And doing that loudly and not by conforming.

That pet gorilla gave me the creeps. I like him, but still … creeeepy

Yes, the missing humor is what I miss the most in the sequels. They tell a great story, but it is a melancholic one. Seeing Marcuria occupied by human supremacists is not what I expected to see. Concentration camps even less.

Glad to help people experience this wonderful series! And yeah, Halloween and winter sale are soon coming.

Meh, the mobile phone port they sell on steam is not comparable to the original, but you are right on the principle.

Well, that is a very open ended question.

My thoughts on emulation is that it is an absolute necessity in order to preserve the history of gaming. However, it will also probably always be a grey area regarding copyright. Especially with emulation of current gen I find it not okay, since the original creator still earns money with it. But if a game or console is not sold anymore? Nobody loses money from me using an emulator to play Chrono Trigger with save states and increased game speed to make the farming and boss fights easier.
