I picked up the definitive editions of Hitman 1 and 2 out of bargain bins, but haven’t gotten to playing them yet (I've got a backlog to last the rest of my life). Should I play them in order, or are the locations really the only thing I need to bring into H3?

Roger Zelazny's Amber series.  There's so much you could do in Amber alone, but with all the shadow realities, the potential is basically limitless.  

Burgers and hot dogs are convenient form factors for food. Why do carnivores want burgers and hot dogs? For the same reason anyone does: they like them.

The posts you’re talking about sounds like a form of smart roads, which I think will be necessary to ever get to fully autonomous cars. The smart roads will let each car know where the lane borders and shoulders are, the speed limit, and since the road is taking to all the cars, it lets your car know where other…

When I use the Taco Bell app (that way it’s all very clear and shouldn’t be confused) to try to sub in beans instead of meat, I still usually get meat. At least I can visually tell the difference there.

It’s the hash browns that are the key to me.  If I'm eating eggs by themselves, I wouldn't think of putting ketchup on them.  If there's hash browns, I'm certainly putting ketchup on them, and they're likely to end up mixed in with the eggs.

What, just ketchup out of the bottle?  I used to eat ketchup packets when I was a kid, I guess.

Please, take a moment and rethink that. Some, or many, or probably even most Americans are failing to take Covid seriously and are making terrible decisions that risk their health and the health of others. But not all of us.

Every time I try to operate one of these weird black controls, labeled in black on a black background, a black light lights up black to let me know I've done it.

How did they not see that confusion coming, though? Most of the world thinks of a Latin cross (lower-case ‘t’) when hearing that word. It would be like labeling a button with the kanji character for ‘yes’ but then saying it’s not a confirm button but an options button.

I was around in the 80's, and if you weren’t white and at least upper middle-class, Reagan was a nightmare. He also committed war crimes, committed perjury, armed Bin Laden, ignored the AIDS crisis, and then went so senile that Nancy’s astrologer ran the country for a couple of years.

”The change is, as Spohn pointed out, kind of a no-brainer;”

I’m not a fan of pineapple on pizza, but I love jalapeno on pizza. They both add sweetness to balance the saltiness, but jalapeno works well with cheese, and IMO pineapple doesn’t.

Personally, I don’t like pineapple on pizza because every time I’ve tried it over the past decades it tastes gross.

For me it’s just a clash between cheese and pineapple. It’s like peanut butter and orange juice—I love both, but not together.

Maybe don’t tell people what their tastes are? Not everyone works exactly like you. I personally don’t like pineapple on pizza because it tastes gross to me. Notice how I didn’t say that you also don’t like the taste, despite your opinion on the matter? That’s because neither of us gets to tell the other their tastes,…

The whole “looters” argument obviously translates to “I can’t be cooped up with you and your bean-farts anymore. I can bury the beans in the woods or I can bury you in the woods.”

Arizona. They’ve been in the on-deck spot for years, taking warm-up swings and waiting for their chance to... shine?

Ha, sure. And you stay an angry frothing hypocrite. Or, you know... don’t. Whatever.

I was trying to match your hysteria at not being able to figure out a square. You come across like one of the people at the beginning of an infomercial that just can’t figure out how something incredibly simple works. Maybe Ronco makes a device that would help you manage something as complicated as eating pizza. You…
