Yes, and with his infinite power and wisdom, God created the earth with approximately 4,000 years of farming baked in. Also he put dinosaur bones in places, to spice things up. It makes perfect sense if you posit an omnipotent being whose ineffable goals revolve around testing whether or not we think he exists.

I really wish they had just taken the Mass Effect combat and focused on making it work in a fantasy setting. I kind of enjoyed the idea that you could switch to ‘tabletop’ strategic view, but I never did. I just spammed my magic missiles until the bad guys were dead.

How do you lose an arm???

I played as a Mage, and it’s mostly the same. I do my pew-pew dance until the enemies are dead. I enjoyed all my narrative choices, but the combat was super weak sauce.

I like when Pokemon has those quirky in-store events. I went in to get a Shiny Gengar, bought nothing, and they gave me three. It was a good day.

Nah he wasn't fired over it, they wrote it off as shrinkage. Video game retailers are prepared for shrink, it's the price of putting video games in arms reach of children

Oh, come on man, he’s read the fucking Bible. I get the hyperbole but come the fuck on. It’s like, his whole deal.

I'm imagining a legal system that forbids monogamy. You'd have to marry your first two wives simultaneously!

You know I just realized ... Liberty University Law School ... LULs. It was a joke the whole time!

You think she’ll need this case to learn that her skin color is a problem for her? People will be telling her that for her whole life. She’s mixed race, and that's not a walk in the park in this country.

It’s the kind of exaggeration you get when devs go to a publisher for more money. “It’s 75% done! There’s a tutorial and everything! Just heap an extra 25% onto our budget and we’ll get it done.”

Um is the unit of currency in Ultima ‘ladies’ or did I read that wrong?

So eating your animal friends, that's crazy. But forcing them to beat each other up until they pass out? That's totes cool

Many slaveholders inherited slaves, and some were prevented by law from freeing them. At that point your options were either A) sell them as chattel to another brutal master or B) make their lives as un-miserable as possible.

Neither person/entity owns the content. Both should stay up, or both be removed: they have equal copyright claim in this instance.

Your impression of ‘everything you do is meaningless’ reads to me as ‘there are consequences for your actions’, which I love in a game. I played through both possibilities and I was floored by home much the game reacted to my decisions. In that context my actions felt meaningful.

“atmooshperic”. At-mush-pee-rick. Good word. Fun to say.

Yup that did it for me. Inside the box were some party hats and noisemakers. It must be another clue!

Not if it’s a mystery. A perfect mystery has a solution, but is impenetrable.

He chiseled the mural!
