Honestly fun for building up infinite damage stacks (You can double dip by putting it on your sentinel since its garuanteed to refresh whenever you do) and killing enemies by just existing. Eclipse change was also kind of nice for her since you can stack it with shattered lash for 97.5% reduction at base.
They’re being paid more than it would cost to house these refugees for life so pretty great I imagine (especially since they’'re not spending any of it on those refugees)
I don’t mind ads in the sidebar or on that little banner across the bottom of the screen sometimes. Its when the ads completely cover the content I’m trying to watch/view and/or start auto playing at obnoxious volume that I get annoyed. (Also fuck people on metered connections right?)
The placebo effect also works even if you know its a placebo… Though sometimes I wonder if that information is in itself some kind of benevolent false information campaign to create a second layer of placebo effect around placebos. A placebo effect of the placebo effect working even if you know about it as it were.
One example, from just up the Ivy-garlanded I-95, at Brown University, was announced just hours before Shafik again called in the police. Brown’s governing body agreed to vote on a proposal that would divest the school’s endowment of companies affiliated with Israel in a meeting in October. The proposal is based on a 2020...
Not to mention the physics are stable enough that people were building helicopters using stage seperators and landing gear long before we got any real joints.
I think its worth remembering that most vulcans allow some emotion in interpersonal relationships, especially older vulcans. Spock is just trying to be super duper logical to prove he’s vulcany enough even with his half human heritage (which is ironically an extreme emotional reaction)
Scotland is just not bike friendly, our ‘cycle lanes’ are just a thin often mostly worn away white line painted on a road of normal width (Which for americans is already way narrower than your roads) and trying to actually cycle on them is tantamount to attempted suicide.
Honestly I thought Outer Worlds was really well made, it was also just very low on content. One thing it did super well was for optional quests to not be obnoxiously telegraphed but placed in a way where I just found them while wandering around which feels a lot better than running down a cheklist. It also prevented me from feeling like I’d missed out on content even after finishing the game and learnign there were a bunch I missed.
I think at the start Johnny is absoloutely untrustworthy, even when he doesn’t want to kill V he wants to use them. By the time the VDB and Helman questlines are done I’d say he actually likes V but he’s still Johnny. I can see him taking the pills for a few days and then realising he’s acting just like Arasaka and takeing the blockers himself, maybe writing a really shit apology note before doing so.
I’m convinced that the chip isn’t fatal after all. There are at least 2 endings where V goes months without meaningful treatment and doesn’t deteriorate further. I’d be willing to bet That Vs brain and the chip have reached an equilibrium where the chip can’t overwrite V faster than Vs neurons are rearanging themselves into their original configuration through the simple act of being V (which isn’t a magical willpower thing its just the way your brain makes connections)
I always got the impression that Ender was better at overarching strategy but didn’t have Beans attention to detail and ability to micromanage. They both complimented eachother really well though Bean went very underappreciated.
Given HS2 has already cost more than most European countries spend doing entire network expansions I’m pretty sure it was a massive success for its intended purpose.
Yeh but its like an order of a magnitude of difference, we’re spending more than its costing Italy to build a subway through rome which requires a full on archiological dig every 20 feet.
It is undeniable that the dreamcast was a solid machine that had good games and a sleek look, but was ultimately overshadowed by the goliath that is the PS2....
Its a shame too because it ended up with some really amazing titles (got one as a hand-me-down from an older sibling) that nintendo now keeps trying to kill.
