This is one of the best turn based games from the last two years. I put it up there with Etrian Odyssey V, Persona 5, and Ni No Kuni II (even tho it’s not turn based). If you’re looking for AAA cute turn based action, it doesn’t get better than this. It’s not as difficult as an Atlus game, and the art is just a bit…

It is your friend’s fault tho. Anyone can move to a hot city (e.g. Austin, Seattle, etc.) and get a job in construction making $25 an hour with little/no experience. That takes a lot of motivation and sacrifice tho, it’s much easier to stay in your hometown and sit on the couch the rest of your life. Guys I see in…

I consider a lot of things worse than video games because it’s either really dangerous (e.g. mountain biking, motorcycles, rock climbing) or bad for your health (e.g. exercise injury). Games are relatively cheap, kill a lot of time, are mentally stimulating, have no health risk, and are fun. I limit portion sizes and…

All loser idiot junkies play video games, but not all who play video games are loser idiot junkies. I’ve known several junkies who were incredible at World of Warcraft and Call of Duty (two favorites of the idiot loser junkie crowd), but even after they stopped gaming they continued with drugs, not working, and…

the people buying this are doing so for nostalgia and usually have money burning a hole in their pocket. Normal gamers just use the Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller.

Your best bet for cooking isn’t youtube. I find most youtube stuff to be low quality, has important info left out, and there is absolutely no quality control. Pick up cookbooks or subscribe to a cooking magazine that has a team of full time people working for it. Even something like Jamie Oliver that is a big…

“television has completely abandoned teaching” TV never had good teaching. What people are saying about youtube now, they said about TV 30 years ago. Neither is educational. Libraries are your best bet for good info. The best thinking and knowledge I’ve ever come across has been from a book. Youtube is neat and all,…

Your library system has a collection of books that has far more wisdom and insight that this guy. It’s also not easy to compress into a video what takes a book to discuss. People are just addicted to youtube.

The vast majority of chatter on the internet is worthless garbage. People get waaaay too much of their information and thinking from youtube and reddit. I hear my coworkers say the dumbest crap because they spend all day online and never pick up a magazine or book.

dude, we can't question commercial air travel. What are you some kind of hippie?

and how much cooking oil would be required for the entire global fleet of trucks, construction equipment, mining equipment, and planes? Biofuels are a joke — oil is *far* superior.

something tells me harvesting all that dead plant material isn't good for forests. Fucking w/ nature has unintended consequences. Maybe those forest fires & dead trees are good to just leave alone.

peak oil. Stuff was a lot cheaper when oil was really easy to get.

While we're at it, we can give up using oil, stop polluting, and stop mining operations. This system is way too large & powerful for any change to happen.

this is called bottom of pyramid capitalism. The highest profits are made in poor countries because they can jack up prices on small quantities.

It's not in a walkable neighborhood. Any modern industrial building requires *a lot* of non-renewable resources. None of it is "green." Just make iphones & stop w/ the greenwashing.

Can somebody do this for DC? They have a table of fares depending on the two stations you're going between, and it also depends what time of day you're going. I think it's too complicated to figure out a formula, since fares are not simple multiples.

when someone says "factory" followed by "net zero energy", I know they're doing something funny.

all seems like greenwashing for urban liberals. you can't just plop out some green things, pat yourself on the back, and think it makes any bit of difference. I really hate how dishonest all this stuff is — it's making you think, "hey, there are some solutions here to climate change!"

Not everything changes! Despite the presence of smartphones, many things remain exactly the same. Industrial society is totally dependent on oil. You need soil to grow crops. We all die. Despite all the talk about solving all of these problems, we haven't, and many things that seem cool in the lab don't work on the…
