So I work at a home improvement store, and one of my co-workers does some contracting work on the side. He is trying to encourage one of his neighbors to put some simple small-park kind of stuff on a plot of land he owns so that he (my co-worker) can pick up some extra business installing it....
Have there been any movies made about this? I'd watch the hell out of it. The Wikipedia page doesn't mention any films made about her or her battles, but if it was some small Japanese production we might not have heard about it.
I LOVE The Long Dark, but I do wish they'd have different seasons if you survive long enough. Something tells me that even summer would be no picnic on that island with the crazed wildlife and geomagnetic storms. Maybe for a sequel someday?
Also I admit that I like playing non-story games with the wildlife turned down to mimic more reasonable behaviors. Then it really does become more of you against the elements, rather than you against crazy wolves. @_
"We didn't want light to interfere with the POTENTIAL of this room! Just IMAGINE all of the possibilities! It's so much easier to visualize in your mind when you don't have to actually SEE anything."
Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky...
A strategy/management sim where you are a Madam running a brothel. Lots of ways to take it-- set it in different places/eras to signify how far under the radar you have to be, change your regime from harsh to compassionate, build out the brothel itself, recruit talent (ethically or unethically), decide if you want to theme the establishment to attract a certain clientele-- lots of interesting things you could do with the setting!
I remember that when Star Trek Online was first announced, it was VERY different than what it is now... and it actually more closely resembled what you were describing. Each character would be free to do some of their own hero stuff in the galaxy but also be on 'hub ships' where you were a smaller part of a much larger whole, participating in shipboard stuff. Then it changed hands or somesuch, and the new leadership said, "Nobody just wants to be some random person on a starship! Everyone wants to be the captain!"
To which I said, "No, actually... ._. I think I would enjoy just vibing on a supercool space ship with my Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism lifestyle." So it would be interesting to see someone try to do STO as it was originally intended.
Okay, firstly, I'm not sure Gurgaon exists. Yes, I looked it up, yes it appears to have its own wikipedia entry and all that. But that just SOUNDS like a fantasy kingdom ruled by an evil wizard. So I would NOT trust any callgirls from some evil magical realm, thankyouverymuch.
There is no such thing as affordable housing anymore when the cheapest house in my regional market is full of mold and already in pending status. It’s just so damn depressing. Also, how much do you wanna bet this sold for more than the asking price?
I keep hearing from lots of news outlets that "the economy really isn't that bad, guys", and sure, compared to the Pandemic or Great Recession, maybe... but the big elephant in the room, the thing that NOBODY is talking about, is housing. Housing is still utterly impossible to attain for most people, and I have yet to hear of any good solution for it other than "hope the market fixes itself-- but NOT with a real estate crash, that would be bad! ;-;".
Office real-estate is crashing because so many places are still trying to make WFH, well, WORK, and lots of people are asking (quite reasonably I think) "Why don't we just rehab those office blocks into housing?" Unfortunately that is an expensive endeavor that the big real estate firms don't have the appetite for, because it involves running new utility lines and doing lots of other changes to the structure of the buildings to make them actually livable. It's easier for them to build their McMansions outside of the major cities while the cities themselves start to rot away.
There are SO MANY solutions to this that don't suck, but no-one is going to try them because the profit margins are too slim. >_<
The moment I hear someone try to call ANY job "unskilled labor", I have to fight the urge to shove the tools into their hands and say, "Okay, YOU do it, then, since it's so simple."
I'm trying to get 'pansexual' to get broader acceptance within the people I know, but if I'm talking to someone I KNOW is going to be clueless (or feign cluelessness) then I'll stick to 'bisexual'. Some people aren't ready for the 'gender as a spectrum' conversations. >_<
If we could somehow get a collab between Namco and Square-Enix to make the missing Episode 4 that connects Xenosaga and Xenogears, that would be sweet, too. But I know better than to hope for that.
