The general setting is that these ships are part of an alternate universe/world where they’re brought to life through “Mental Cube” technology.

You can’t take any damage, you only have 1 HP for the entire game.

Completing Muramasa on Fury mode. That will go down as my greatest gaming achievement.  Nothing will ever come close to the feeling I had after I got that platinum trophy.

Because the tube is under extreme vacuum and the glass is so thick and hardened, when it IS cracked, the pressure differential causes the stress fractures to spread pretty fast and violently. For the most part though, the face glass is so thick, it’s pretty difficult to break it.

I had a Tacoma for 6 years, ended up living in a studio apartment in the middle of town 1.5 miles from work. I realized at that point I didn’t need a truck, it was dumb, and I bought a Prius. “Going economical, maybe I’ll do more driving and road trips now?” I thought.

I’m going to give your rhetorical question and honest answer.

A significant portion of the American medical healthcare system’s costs/charges originate from inside schemes and agreements between hospitals, doctors, and insurance companies. The insurance companies are raking it in so spectacularly, that the costs for medical assistance and associates materials are all inflated so…

To be fair, most of the current gen PC hardware can run VR so if you’ve upgraded your PC anytime in the last two years with any level of gaming in mind, you’re probably good to go with your current system.

Honestly we all need to be more active, get rid of these sedentary lifestyles, and get back to roots.

They actually do have a team interally that plays the game to specifically try and find these kinds of things.

To this day I torment pedantic people and christians by calling Dec25 Xmas “ehks-muhs,” so I’m still calling it the X button.

I love how this recipe is basically “Naturally Occurring MSG”.

I’m playing Black Desert, and I’ve been making a habit of asking where Makrik’s wife is in server chat every time some mouth breather starts ranting about WoW.

Seeing as this story involves a golf cart and George, my guess is that the home city of this story is Peach Tree, George, which is very uniquely centered around golf carts and would have a lot of secondary enterprise built up around it. Most homes in Peach Tree own a golf cart, and home-visit golf cart mechanics would…

In the scene that tends to be an unpopular opinion, but I do agree. The fundamental problem, I think, is that Lynn Okamoto seems to want to explore the nature of how “violence” and “innocence” intersect, but at the same time he has no major point he wants to make about it and never brings it to a head. Just, “Look,…

I feel like for every vegan I know that’s jumped on about eating meat, I’ve heard 10 or more meat eaters get righteously indignant about someone else not eating meat. Note, not being told not to eat meat, but simply mad that someone else does not.

I *NEVER* get tired of watching that.  I think the only downside is that the camera didn’t have a better angle on the punch.
