I like dandelions. I’d let them grow even without the additional benefits just because they’re pretty. And also fun for kids when the seeds mature and you can pluck them and blow them into the wind.
I don’t see why it would have to be though. A bunch of oddballs could certainly get together and create one to protect diversity in their neighborhood from a normie invasion.
Perhaps, but as long as there is no law that says you can’t have an HOA that fines you for having a McMansion with a monoculture lawn instead of a natural one, it’s at least possible in theory.
Things aren’t looking good for me. I’m a few levels into Selaco, a new FPS out now on Steam, and I’m stuck behind a bar as a group of sci-fi soldiers unload their rifles and shotguns into my hiding spot. I’m also low on health. So yeah, a bad spot to be in. I take a deep breath and try something....
In the sense that Doom more or less invented the genre (unless you count the original Wolfenstein, I guess).
Still kind of an awful headline. While GZDoom technically IS based on “Doom tech” because it’s derived from the OG Doom source code that was released to the public, it’s still vastly more powerful than the original engine, with GPU support, beefed up lighting effects, and many of the limitations of the original engine either vastly increased or removed entirely.
Right. It’s still fundamentally the same old engine, just massively beefed up. There are still many limitations that more modern engines (like the one used in the 2014 remake) don’t have.
Which BTW is another reason the title is stupid, because the remake is also just called DOOM and it was the first thing I thought of when reading it. Yes, that engine might be 10 years old by now but it’s still fairly state-of-the-art and continues to be used in other AAA games (like Wolfenstein Youngblood).
Add some baked beans for bullets (and Lemmy cred), make stickmen out of fries and slather them in ketchup, boom, you got a proper massacre for your hunger
The problem is if you earn that money doing something you hate, you’ll very often find that no amount of money is enough to compensate for your loss of happiness. The trick is finding a way to earn enough money not to have to worry while doing something you enjoy (or at least can tolerate) doing.

Like if you steal out of necessity, and get caught once, you then just starve?
I mean… you could try getting on food stamps or whatever sort of government assistance is available in your country for this purpose?
In pretty much all civilized western countries, you don’t HAVE to resort to becoming a criminal simply to get enough food to survive. It’s really more of a sign of antisocial behavior, i.e. a complete rejection of the system combined with a desire to actively cause harm to it.
Or it could be a pride issue, i.e. people not wanting to admit to themselves that they are incapable of taking care of themselves on their own and having to go to a government office in order to “beg” for help (or panhandle outside the supermarket instead).
