My issue with the Karlach story is that they go big on dangling the “find the infernal iron to try and fix things so she won’t burn up if she stays in Faerun” carrot in front of the player.

It’s been a long time since I read a lifehacker article with actual useful feeling lifehack info. This was refreshing and welcomed. More of this please. 

Owls have very small brains. Their eyes take most of their skull’s space. All in all, they’re not really smart, even for a bird.

Subreddits going dark for three days sends the message that whatever Reddit does, they’ll always come back.

The communities that have gone dark pretty much all decided that by poll and discussion among the membership. So it’s not “moderator fiat” but a collective action by the active members of each sub.

This all could be really solved if Reddit put out a mobile reader that accommodates what Apollo, RIF, etc... add in value to users. Support it with ads. Support with premium, no-ad for $25/yr?

Sir, you don’t understand. He took MONEY. From RICH people.

This man committed a crime and confessed to it. There’s no debate there, and he served an appropriate amount of time behind bars.

It’s really surprising that GRRM or whoever is in charge of licensing hasn’t done an official DLC pack with them. Like you said, it’s a perfect fit. They were happy enough to make that meh Telltale game but haven’t done much else with games other than a digital version of the board game.

I was hoping they’d pretend the last trilogy never actually happened and just start a new trilogy set in the Old Republic or something.

I’m just not excited for the Rey sequel movie. Mostly because Daisy herself has said she was done as Rey and I didn’t like the sequel movies. Not a lot of people did. It’s so weird they are moving forward with that.

Very excited for Ashoka though. This is the Star Wars people have been waiting for. That and Andor which…

1. I wonder if this addition was at all influenced by “The Girl With All the Gifts” which was published a year after the original game.

I am horrified that he’s eligible for parole in 6 years. It feels like he just went to prison a couple years ago. Of course we know that proof of sexually abusing children doesn’t get the level outrage that people who are perceived to be pedophiles or somehow abusing children for the mere existence as a human trying…

“I like to think viral infections will be less of a problem in 100 years—if we get there.”

***SPOILERS***

this is maybe a little off-topic, but this quote right here:

Spores still existing, but not being an active threat usually, fits with our interaction with fungi in the real world. Our lungs are really good at fighting off spores - we’re constantly inhaling them - they only generally become a threat if your immune system is compromised.

Our immune systems *aren’t* great at…

“Well, in episode one, Joel tells his neighbor he’s on the Atkins diet.”

I honestly thought this was just an excuse/lie to not eat his neighbour’s cooking. He didn’t seem super convincing.

No, not just you. I was thinking the Alaskan King is more recreational than utilitarian, the equivalent of corking a playground surface so someone doesn’t get hurt in high population energetic activities.
