Rest of the world compared to where? All those things can be found just about everywhere

The TRPG “Troika!” has a module that is basically exactly this called “Get It At Sutlers”

It just generates a dungeon crawl contained entirely within a department store by the name of Sutlers

Well, they might imagine one specific crucifixion

A code for the game on Steam? They still get their cut

I find it interesting how the Mongolian empire has kind of taken a 180 in its historical image. Not long ago they were viewed as just cartoon villains that destroyed everything. But now you see so many people talking about some of the “good” aspects that it almost makes them seem strangely benevolent.

The reality of course was that they were an empire, and like all empires they steamrolled and destroyed anything that stood in their way while taking advantage of anything that furthered their goals. They probably killed far more people than they helped if you asked anyone living through the time.

Dan Carlin’s podcast, Hardcore History, has a series called Wrath of the Khans where he talks about this in length and it’s very interesting to think about.

Which is why I’m saying it isn’t malicious on their part. Calling it malicious implies that they are ignorant out of spite. There are people like that, and many people who are malicious in taking advantage of them, but my 70 year old coworker who just doesn’t understand LGBT people and hasn’t talked to enough black people in their life isn’t malicious, just purely ignorant and scared of change.

They aren’t choosing to be stupid as part of some evil plot, they’re just ignorant and don’t want to change because they don’t think they should have to.

The problem is, a lot of the people who support these people are just… Stupid

I have known many a coworker who talked about voting for trump and every time I engage them in conversation about it I realize all their genuine beliefs are against the GOPs policies entirely. They just are scared of things they don’t understand and like them talking about how scary minorities are.

Yeah, why is it “just chance”? I don’t understand the idea that animals have no emotions, it’s weird.

Hm, maybe

They’re not anonymous tho, the image very clearly labels who’s desk the vaping was detected at

The game is incredibly grindy, as other have said, but honestly I’d argue that’s kind of the point of the game. It’s kind of made for the grind, you’re always farming for some new thing or trying to get the perfect build for your Warframe, it’s just how it is.

What is kind of cool on the micro transaction side is that people can trade the premium currency. So there are a lot of things you can’t just buy from the in game store with platinum, but people can farm for it and trade it. So you can farm for desirable blueprints and parts and such and then sell them to other players for premium currency. It’s a very cool system, I think.

Only if they’re independent developers of the game, which is why you shouldn’t pirate little indie games. Otherwise they already got paid as much as they’re gonna get paid, only people losing money when you pirate a game are the executives.

Shame the dev for this one is an asshole. Claimed the game was independently developed while hiring on programmers and artists at low wages, handing it over to them completely and then blaming them when he cancels the multiplayer update saying they did a bad job. All the while the game boots up with his face saying “hope you enjoy my game”.

What do you mean by “further democratized”? You can already just download Godot and make a game for free right now. Or are you talking about AI supposedly making it easier for people to make games?

Yeah, sure is weird they never made a flatout 3

When I zoom in on my phone, it’s absolutely white

Yeah I am a proponent of wasps but some of the paper wasps can be really mean. I mostly live around mud daubers and the like who are very chill and just hang out in my front yard

Considering we’re already just killing off native bee populations anyway, probably not

Wait until you learn what spiders kill
